A unique natural phenomenon related to the life of Far Eastern vipers was recorded by employees of the ecological club "Aralia" in the Obluchensky district of the Jewish Autonomous Region
- The Birakan hunter, being on the hunt near Svistun-Gora, which is a few kilometers from the Old Believer village of Novy, discovered on its southern slope a large number of snake-mongers from the viper family, which for some reason did not fall into traditional hibernation, - said in the club "Aralia" …
According to ecologists, local taiga people have never seen such anomalies before.
The hunter, who told the specialists about this phenomenon, clarified that the snakes were lethargic, but "out of harm's way" he quickly left their territory.
This observation was confirmed by another taiga from the village of Novy. According to him, snakes prepare for hibernation and gather in large groups, hiding in old burrows, hollows at the foot of large trees, crevasses of rocky hills.
“And in the Whistler Mountain cave, nature itself has created a real“snake hotel”,” says the hunter. - The temperature is above zero all year round, and the snakes, as they say, stay awake, without falling into deep hibernation, although they get lost in dense tangles.
