Tourists were asked not to touch baby roe deer in the Yalta Nature Reserve

The staff of the Yalta Nature Reserve appealed to tourists not to touch the cubs of roe deer and deer. Soon, ungulates will begin to have offspring, and experts told the guests of the reserve in advance how best to behave when meeting with babies.

According to the staff of the reserve, young ungulates fall into a stupor when people or strangers approach them. It is their unique protective feature to remain motionless when they are in danger. In addition, the cubs do not have a bright natural smell, which gives them the opportunity to remain unnoticed by predators. When a person touches animals, they can leave their aromatic trail, and this can harm their offspring.

Visitors to the reserve are advised not to leave pets next to the kids, not to be photographed sitting next to them, not to leave foreign objects next to wild animals, not to try to feed them, writes IA SevastopolMedia.
