A nice animal of the Mustelidae family, which is in the Red List, was brought to the Regional Landscape Park from the Mykolaiv Zoo.
A rare animal was rescued in the ATO zone near Volnovakha by the soldiers of the 30th brigade, who sheltered and named it. Later, it was brought to Mykolaiv by a volunteer Nelli Yakovenko. However, the conditions in the local zoo were not suitable for the marbled polecat and on the recommendation of the Foundation for Mustelidae Rescue, Nelli Yakovenko decided to bring the animal to Feldman Ecopark, where Lelik is going to stay.
Feldman Ecopark’s deputy director of zootechnics Valeriia Ivashchenko informed that the animal is in good condition, the veterinary examination and vaccination have been carried out, and the marbled polecat is currently in quarantine.
“The visitors of Feldman Ecopark will soon be able to meet this cute little animal. Meanwhile, we are trying to find a couple for it. All-Ukrainian Service for Wild, Exotic and Domestic Animals Rescue “Feldman Ecopark Good Home” helps animals, which ran into danger, across the whole country. Recently, we’ve found a marbled polecat named Tigra and Vasia, the badger, which were settled in spacious and comfortable enclosures as it was promised,” Valeriia Ivashchenko tells.
Out of more than 2,000 animals living in Feldman Ecopark, nearly ten belong to the Mustelidae family – polecats and ferrets. During three years since it was opened, All-Ukrainian Service for Wild, Exotic and Domestic Animals Rescue “Feldman Ecopark Good Home” rendered assistance to more than 2,000 animals.
