An elk was seen in a private house in Aukštuosiai Šančiai on Thursday morning. At first, the wild animal explored the area in a funky way, but after a time of courage it jumped not only the vegetation, but also the fence. A day later, it was reported that he continued to wander the streets of the neighborhood. The specialists of the Association of Animal Caretakers promise to look for a dispersal of moose in the city and make the most appropriate decision.
I walked in the courtyard of the house.
On July 2, a few minutes after 6 a.m., video surveillance cameras captured a moose gracefully entering the yard of a private home. At first, the wild animal looked at the countries and occasionally waited in pause. He then spun the wheels until he jumped into the house area as he approached the hedge, even closer to the building’s terrace.
After exploring the properties a bit, she resisted the paved floor and jumped over the fence and down the driveway.
“On the side of the patio where the moose were walking, the view from the house opens through a large window. It was in that room that I slept. I woke up completely by accident, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a moose passing through the yard. Covered with a strange feeling, I thought I was dreaming. Still, without realizing what had happened, I fell asleep again. When I woke up, I told my family about all this, at first they didn’t believe me either, so we decided to see the video camera footage, ”recalls Skirmantas, who contacted the editorial board of the portal kauno.diena.lt, recalls the event on Thursday.
The video surveillance camera log confirmed that there was a moose on Vievio Street. As the interlocutor guesses, he probably came here from the side of the Kaunas railway tunnel, but it is not clear where he decided to continue his journey by jumping over the fence of a private house. He says he reported the incident to the Animal Caretakers Association.
Will assess the situation
When journalists contacted the association’s representatives on Friday morning, it was clear that a day later, the same wild animal could have been reported after being seen on another street in Aukštųjų Šantys.
“Today at around 10 o’clock. The moose walked down Ašmena 1 street, near the garages in the old barracks area. We will go and see the situation: if there is no threat to the animal and if the animal does not pose a threat to humans. If there is a threat, sometimes it is necessary to use a remote remote sleep weapon, but here are the extreme cases, because the drugs do not work immediately. Because it is a wild animal, adrenaline it is released into the body when injecting drugs, and this can do much more harm than simply allowing it to walk quietly on its own paths, “emphasized Giedrius Survila, a veterinary specialist with the Animal Welfare Association.
According to the interlocutor, if a wild animal is not damaged and is not trapped where it cannot leave, the latter method is not promoted. However, if, for example, an elk were to run into the city center and pose a threat, services would be called. In such cases, officials often stop even traffic so that the animal can cross the street.
Advised on how to treat people.
“Wildlife is increasingly seen in densely populated areas. This happens for a number of reasons. It is possible that during the time of animal migration, wildlife may roam cities or other urbanized areas. There are also cases where, for example, foxes settle in a human neighborhood. Meetings between humans and wildlife become inevitable. It is also influenced by the fact that animals adapt to changing environmental conditions, when people expand their cities and occupy areas they are common to animals, “emphasized Darius Jurevičius, head of the Kaunas Board of the Wildlife Inspectorate.
When asked what should be done in cases where a wild animal is found in an area or urban park, he emphasized that there should be no need to intimidate the wild animal or try to escape.
“After an animal dies, an accident can happen, for example, if you run out into the street and get under the wheels of a car. It would be civic to report the appearance of wild animals in the city at number 112 or the Association of Animal Guardians, “advised D. Jurevičius.
