Boar's Nest. Stories from the Reserve

The book is written by a zoologist for whom the wild boar is not just an object of research. Nadezhda Pankova has lived in the Oksky Reserve for many years, walking along boar trails, "reading" the lives of wild boars by their tracks in the snow and videos from forest camera traps. She also has her own small herd - three domesticated boars whose daily lives reveal what is nearly impossible to observe in the wild.
On the pages of this book, field observations and scientific facts are intertwined with lively stories about the reserve and the people who work there. Together with the author, readers will meet the reserve's boars - Losenogiy, Black, and others. They will learn how boar communities are organized, how animals communicate, raise piglets, share space and food, and how their personalities and social roles manifest within the herd.
This captivating, warm, and very personal narrative is about wild boars, the reserve, and the scientist's attachment to her "own" species.
The book is intended for a wide audience: nature lovers and fans of reserve stories, as well as anyone interested in animal behavior and modern field biology.
