as a seasoned explorer trails are not his only guide. i don't think a horse is smell could be mistaken for anything else i'm with you i would say that it is very distinctive that. they must be somewhere here nearby. and in. the free roaming mustangs on board the island are in total isolation locals have another theory as to how the horses came to lake managed to dino in the old days robbers stole horses in neighboring villages and hid them that to this day the horses a still mistrustful of people. the

island is now closed to tourists and only researches can visit yet few have been able to approach the stallions let alone get inside the hood. who are here they order for you these are the horses we have spent ages looking for there are eight young cool. these free roaming horses are called mustangs. i can see the horses grouping together ready to head off. at dawn tomorrow they will be much calmer and then we will be able to take a look at life and aside the hurt. and the.

the bugs of wild chewed lips in the last of reserve open with the first rays of the sun shrink a chilly blooms for only a few days this brief period is known in the reserve as red carpet time. in the morning vonnie island surrounded by fog doctor tells me knows for sure the

herd is nearby. in the morning they are most likely to be either in a depressions or at the water hole this behavior is characteristic of all animals roaming around to step. in the morning they feed on moist grass at this time the plants are rich in moisture and there is also a lot of juice here at this meets their water requirements. over the years on the island the hoods behavior has become quite varied. typical of all free roaming animals it's up to the alpha male to decide where the herd go visit any particular moment. but even without a leader the horses follow their natural instincts and flock together as they move

around the island. as soon as a small group of horses begins moving the others gradually join in. for most of the year the mustangs live in a type of harini there are three to four mezz with colts in each of them each karima has a leader king knows which one as a his mates and does his best to protect them against terrorism and stallions may kick up a fight even if one of them unintentionally trespasses on the territory of another family.

this helps them survive in any conditions fielitz they can drive even humans away there are no fish here therefore they need to fatalism in the field will pick up bread and meat from garbage cans but that's why the gal has become such a common bird at lakemont is good deal another lee but throughout the south. the gold colony is the largest seagulls nest in the grass or on the shore. of the birds never fly over this part of the island even the black headed gulls stick together and steer clear of the noisy flock of traditionally either. whenever they see caspian gulls approaching they immediately set nests.

but it's the spoonbills which stand out here. provisionally island forms the most and most of the habitat. these birds have peculiar looking beaks. up in the air they prefer to hunt for crayfish close to the. earth's going to have bills because they cross stations. there is an abundance of crustaceans. feel safe on the island they build their nests away from the gulls to form what might be described as bird settlements the self-preservation instinct tells the cormorants to build their nests high above ground to protect their young from

a sudden flood or a fox. small predators get to the island when parts of the lakes dry up and i hate when this happens the seagulls come to the rescue. when one comes around hundreds of seagulls attack and kill it. focuses. on one occasion a step bagel turned up here hundreds of down into the water they've all got wet and the birds finish it off right there and then. the mating season. has come to an end the colonies birds have laid their eggs and awaiting for the young to hatch.

as time goes by. explorer and take less and is often. talk to ken's main walks slowly and quietly and poses on the trial the horses can have the slightest noise they have the ability to turn that his backwards. over these here are two mayors and will have none to colds and. that stallion is running out after them and wants to take them to an isolated place where they can feed in peace but he. it's not quite clear when the first horse is settled on the island the locals were aware of the wild herd back in the early twentieth century and local stories passed through the

ages suggested robbers in times gone by used to steal stallions and mez from nearby villages and hide them on the island they believe that those horses of the ancestors of the modern day mustangs. scientists have found some evidence in support of this theory the wild horses avoid the island appear to have all the distinctive features and characteristics of the russian don't breed which was bred in the dawn region one hundred years ago in one thousand nine hundred five and became part of the roster of nature reserve today the free roaming herd is under protection but there was a time when the horses were under threat from invading poachers. poachers would come when the horses were unprotected but at the time one of the

stallions called baron often stood watch on high ground to get a good view of the island. as soon as he sensed danger he alerted the hurt the horses saw barrin as their leader. even though he had a family of his own all the other horses all of his command because they knew that baron had saved them from approaching poachers many times before anybody. dr cuz i mean has learned much about the mustangs after spending several days with them the main leader is no longer in the herd it now consists of eight hundred families all on equal terms it includes three hundred twenty three adult horses and eighteen colts these are critical figures for their survival if the population

grows the mustangs may run out of food. from mustangs absolutely love cereal crops they can't live without them. so as long as there aren't too many horses here at any one time there's more than enough food to go around. freshwater is a constant issue for the mustangs the morning jus is not enough to sustain them at noon the herd relaxes under the heat of the some towards sunset the mustang's head to their drinking place the one nearest them has dried up but there is still some cool water at the bottom. all.

all all this is the best place for them to rest before the herd sets out on a long journey to the other end of the island where there is still rain water and small pools. school better with it is grapes that nature created this island away from the mainland and. the horses can lead a happy life. a new truth thousands of years ago he says their predecessors were here. this is again a secret place for them you have issued in your the islands of mustang still afraid you will for almost gone.
