> Surveillance cameras in the Retezat National Park captured a baby deer playing carefree in a pond in the middle of the forest. Thanks to its diversity, Retezat National Park is home to a quarter of Europe’s land mammals.
> The images were posted by the Retezat National Park Administration (ANPR) on its Facebook page. In the seconds-long clip, a baby deer wades in a puddle in the middle of the forest, clearly eager to play, then simply slams into the muddy waterhole.
> “Pure joy in the middle of nature: the playful deer in Retezat National Park. Cervus elaphus caught bathing in the Retezat National Park by the wildlife monitoring cameras placed in the field by our colleagues from the Retezat National Park Administration”, commented ANPR on the images.
> Claudia Dănău, an APNR biologist, said that “it is an honour to see the behaviour of wild animals in Retezat National Park in their natural habitat,” according to the post.
> The ANPR also points out in the post that, thanks to its diverse habitats, both natural and slightly modified by human intervention, Retezat National Park is home to 55 species of mammals, or more than 23% of Europe’s land mammals.
> Thanks to all its natural values, in 2007 Retezat National Park was included in the European network of Natura 2000 protected areas: the Natura 2000 Site of Community Importance ROSCI0217 Retezat and the Natura 2000 Special Protection Area for Birds ROSPA0084 Retezat Mountains.
> Retezat National Park is one of the 22 national and natural parks managed by the National Forestry Agency – Romsilva.
> “The mission of the Retezat National Park Administration is to manage and preserve the Retezat National Park as a place where nature takes its natural course, whose values are recognized by the general public, locals and scientists, where responsible tourists are welcome, and where the sustainable use of natural resources is regulated,” the ANPR says on its Facebook page.
What did we learn today:
Kid + puddle = fun no matter the species 🙂
That’s the kind of news that we need nowadays, thank you OP
