VIDEO: Imagini spectaculoase cu boncănitul cerbilor, surprinse de camerele de monitorizare ale Parcului Natural Apuseni

The rutting of deer, a captivating autumn phenomenon in Romania, was captured by monitoring cameras in Apuseni Natural Park. This mating season occurs mainly from late September to early October, with variations based on location and climate. During this time, male deer vocalize loudly to attract females and assert dominance over rivals. Their competition can escalate from vocal displays to physical confrontations, where they clash antlers for mating rights. Visitors are advised to maintain distance from deer during this period, stay on marked trails, and drive cautiously near forests, especially during dawn and dusk when deer activity is heightened.
