In addition, 386 foxes, 304 weasels and 188 white hares were counted in Kunashir. On Shikotan, records are kept only for the common fox. Scientists have recorded 111 individuals.
"In general, in the Kurilsky Nature Reserve, compared with the data of 2023, the number of weasels increased by 3 times, the number of white hare decreased by 2.5 times and the common fox by 1.5 times," the message says.
