abstract |
New information
about the records of two carnivoran species in Western
Polissia, the findings of which were unknown or
unconfirmed by factual materials is presented. Details
on the capture of golden jackals and wild cats obtained
in 2019–2020 in different districts of Volyn are
described. In particular, the jackal was caught
in 2020 near Kovel, and the wild cat was caught
in 2019 near Novovolynsk and in 2020 near Kovel.
The specimens are stored in private collections,
but at the time of their transfer to the owners,
the authors were able to examine them and take photos
with the necessary details. The discovery of the
jackal is the first record for Western Polissia;
the discovery of the wild cat confirms the ancient
findings of the species. The described records confirm
the expansion of the habitats of both species in
north-western Ukraine. |
