Introduction
We approach a small, gentle, flat, and fertile pass where animals like to graze and rest.
Both domestic and wild herbivores gather in these spaces. In the more distant valleys, it's likely to come across chamois or mouflons.
These easily excavatable meadows, characteristic of the subalpine and alpine stages, represent the upper limit for detecting the presence of moles.
Active both day and night, they live underground in a complex network of galleries, and they are difficult to see; we know they are there from the mounds of earth they deposit (foto), the result of excavation work. They only come to the surface to search for water or during the dispersal of the young.
They live for 4-7 years and feed on worms and larvae found underground.
