Slowworms too go in the stomach of badgers if this protected legless lizard, looking like a length of copper tubing happens to be in the badger’s path.

Some time ago n interesting story could be read in the Viljandimaa newspaper „Sakala” about how a hunter who had been luring elks deceived a wolf flock. Such a hunter is worthy of admiration. Most hunters cannot imitate an elk cow so masterfully.
We should also feel proud of the fact that wolf packs can be seen in our forests. How many countries can still boast about that.

Linda’s rock in Lake Ülemiste. Postcard ca 1920s
Last week a notice went through the newspapers that the Muinsuskaitseamet (Estonian National Heritage Board) had finally granted permission for removal of three ritual rocks that would hinder the expansion of Tallinn Airport. What was startling in the news however was the fact that one 100-tonne sacrificial rock with grooves would be sawn into four parts and transported so to the others.
