  • Hungry red fox in the recreation area

In the Sarikamis district of Kars, one of Turkiye highest settlements, the long and harsh winter continues to take a toll on local wildlife. The region’s vast Scots pine forests are home to a variety of wild animals, including brown bears, wolves, lynxes, and foxes.As snow depths in the Acisu region surpassed one meter, a hungry red fox was spotted venturing into a local recreation area in search of food.

The fox managed to find a meal of bread and bone scraps left behind before retreating back into the wilderness.The area is a critical habitat for several major species. The severe winter conditions in Sarikamis often force wildlife to move closer to human settlements in their search for survival.The sighting serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by the region’s diverse wildlife during the grueling winter months.
