We met all our commitments pertaining to the dispersal of the animals by the end of December: all the contracted specimens were delivered to the customer.”

Red deer is a re-introduced native species for Belovezhskaya Pushcha, meaning it was resettled in the area that used to be its habitat earlier. They inhabit relatively sparse forests with pine, ash, oak, aspen, linden undergrowth, or thick underbrush of juniper or willow, or generous blueberry bush cover. Their food base is tree or bush branches, grass, and acorns if the year was good for them.
