According to Metsähallitus, the cubs seem vigorous, even though the winter has been relatively mild even in the north.
The mink litter observed in Finland after a long break seems to be surviving well. All three puppies have been seen during the winter on the fells eating dog treats from the feeding machines, says Metsähallitus.
According to it, the puppies have appeared to be vigorous.
Even in the north, the winter has been relatively mild, which usually makes life difficult for the foxes, because their natural food, i.e. the cocoons, can suffer from the warm winter.
However, it hasn’t rained on the fells this winter, so there haven’t been any problems for the skiers. The success of the nymphs also directly affects the survival of the nael.
The extremely endangered mink nested in Finland last summer for the first time in over 25 years.
