15 adult females of the European fallow deer traveled more than 800 kilometers from Chernivtsi to Odesa region to find their new home in the Tarutino steppe🌾. The animals endured the journey well and arrived in good health. They immediately joined a group of males, that settled here two years in a fenced area of 31 hectares of the steppe, for acclimatization in new conditions.
Next year, the fallow deer 🦌🦌 will be released into the wild nature of the steppe to lay the foundation for a stable population of the species in this region. We are also planning a few more fallow deer releases to strengthen the group.
