The " Photographic Safaris " at Vale Feitoso are excellent chances for, all those who like the Nature, to see, and to photograph, in full freedom, deers, muffels and wild boars.
The
Farm of Vale Feitoso has an area of about 7.000 hectares, surrounded.
The
deer is considered the noblest animal. It is an animal that can live for 17
years. The antlers, that is characteristic of the males, falls annually for, in
one or two months, to appear again, with more tips and thicker. The number of
tips and thickness of the scaffolding goes magnifying, until ten or eleven
years of life of the deer, entering later in regression. The deer feeds itself
of grass, wild fruits and are eager of salt. At night it wanders for the fields
and edges of the forests to the food seek. By the rising of the day it enters
again in the bushes, to sleep. In
September or October the female of the deer enters in the rut when it
finds prepared to be covered by the male. The dominant males - normally the oldest -
choose the females and delimit its zones.
The
muffel is originary from Córsega and it's an ancestor of our races of domestic
sheep. It generally inhabits in mountains and forests, walking in flock.
With
a little of luck also animals with a fierce aspect could be observed - the wild
boars. In the males, we will be able to see the " powerful weapon
" that possesss - teeth. With the teeth, they place in respect the worst
enemy it as - the man. The wild boar prefers the very dense zones with thick
weeds or forests. It is, mainly, an animal that likes to walk in the night. By
the end of the day it leaves the " encames " to go to look for food. It
eats everything that appears: plants, flyers, earthworms, rabbits, reptiles,
eggs of birds, roots. In this food seek, it arrives to make trips of some kilometres.
Normally they walk in group. The oldest, and more cautious, never go ahead.
This is the function for the " escudeiros ", young animals, that go to
open path. The
wild boar can live for twenty five years. Just
after the wild boar are born, they look very different of the adult animals.
They are assigned by " listed ", because of the aspect that for
presents it - to the scratches of clear and dark yellowish tones.
All these animals can be observed in our " Photographic Safaris ".
