A rare video has been released showcasing the daily lives of endangered wild animals, including male deer engaging in intense battles, as well as other wildlife nursing their young.
The National Park Service of South Korea has released remarkable footage depicting the daily lives of various wild animals in national parks, coinciding with the Lunar New Year holiday. This rare video features endangered species, including the first-grade endangered Asiatic black bear, foxes, otters, and goats, along with second-grade endangered species like martens and wildcats, as well as common animals like deer and weasels, showing diverse behaviors such as hunting, resting, and moving about.
Among the highlights of the video is an emotional scene where a marten is seen successfully hunting a young deer, a moment captured just a week after footage of the deer’s mother tenderly caring for her young was recorded in the same location. The videos, filmed across several major national parks, include the protective actions of a mother capricorn evading a marten's attack and the touching interactions among family members of various species, including mothers looking after their sleeping young.
The footage was recorded using unmanned observation cameras in renowned national parks, demonstrating the rich biodiversity in these areas. Park officials emphasized the importance of these sightings for conservation efforts, reminding of their commitment to maintaining a healthy ecosystem, particularly for endangered species. This initiative not only showcases the vibrant ecology of South Korea but also enhances public awareness about wildlife protection during significant cultural periods like the Lunar New Year.
