Sunetele stranii din Carpați care ascund un ritual spectaculos. „E cea mai impresionantă simfonie a naturii de la noi”
In the Carpathian forests, the autumn calls of deer create a unique natural symphony, particularly during the rutting season. Male deer, known for their powerful calls, attract females and challenge rivals. This ritual, known as boncănit, occurs from September to October, with the deer displaying their strength through vocalizations and physical confrontations. The Carpathians host over 70,000 deer, including the common and the fallow deer, each exhibiting distinct behaviors during mating. The common deer is larger and more territorial, while the fallow deer engages in different mating strategies, often gathering in arenas. The sounds of these deer can be both captivating and intimidating for visitors unfamiliar with their origins.
