Mamals

According to recent reports, the following mammals are to be found in the National Park:
1.Rabbit family: the Hare (Lepus europaeus).
2.Insectivorous: the hedgehog (Erinaceus concolor), the mole (Talpa stankovici).
3. Various rodents: (Mus musculus domesticus,Rattus rattus,Apodemus sylvaticus,Glis glis).
4. Carnivorous: the fox (Vulpes vulpes), the marten (Martes foina), the weasel (Mustela nivalis) and the badger (Meles meles).

One animal that is of great interest is the mole (Talpa). It is an insectivore and lives in tunnels. It builds its nest deep down in the earth, a spherical nest lined with dry leaves, grass and roots. Each mole lives in its own nest. The mole feeds on the flesh of insects and their larvae, millipedes and earthworms; the latter it can also store.
One mole in particular was found to have stored 1,200 earthworms, weighing 2 kilos in all.
