The warm spring days are conducive to their activity.

The city park and embankment in Pinsk are again attacked by urchins. Photos and videos of the reptiles appear more and more often in the social networks of Pinsk citizens, the "Media Polesie" edition noted. It turns out that urchins are part of the current ecosystem of the capital of Polesie.

As explained by the head of the laboratory of the Polesie Agrarian and Ecological Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Viktor Demyanchik, the Pinsk embankment is a favorable environment for reptiles. Warm spring days contribute to their activity, especially during the mating season. In addition, climatic changes and mild winters increase the numbers of these reptiles.

Uzhis are usually not aggressive towards humans. However, it's best not to disturb them - otherwise they may bite. Medical professionals compare a sting from a sting from a sting from a sting from a cat, but there is a risk of infection of the wound. In case of a bite, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
