BOR told me:

- In the Kormyansk hunting farm, a wolf with an unusual black coat is produced - this color is rare in wolves: it is more usual to see gray or reddish shades. In Belarus, similar cases have already been noted in the Lida, Iviev and Soligorsk hunting farms. Such a rare encounter is another reminder of how diverse nature is.

Experts noted that the unusual color may be associated with melanism - a genetic feature in which more dark pigment accumulates in the wool. This is not a separate type, but a color option. Loaded gun in the car and shooting in poor visibility. Find out what other prohibitions apply during hunting
