Tartus seadis lasteaias end sisse rebasepere

A Family of Foxes Settled in a Kindergarten in Tartu

Tartus Poku lasteaias on sellel nädalal tekitanud elevust end sealse paviljoni all sisse seadnud rebasepere. Tänaseks on rebasekutsikad kinni püütud, kuid rebaseema veel mitte.

This week, a family of foxes has caused excitement by settling under the pavilion at the Poku kindergarten in Tartu. As of today, the fox cubs have been caught, but the mother fox has not yet been captured.

Üht rebast nähti lasteaia territooriumil juba veebruaris, kuid siis ei osanud keegi aimata, et mõne kuu pärast seal neid rohkem olla võib. Uru kaevamine lasteaias on põhjalikult tehtud ja see tuli .

A fox was spotted on the kindergarten grounds as early as February, but no one could have guessed that there would be more of them a few months later. The digging of the den in the kindergarten was thorough and came as a big surprise.

Nädalavahetusel saadi elanikult video, mis näitas . Lapsed ja täiskasvanud on väga elevil. Laste esimene mõte hommikul lasteaeda minnes on tavaliselt:,Kuidas rebastel läheb? Kas ? Õhtul räägivad lapsed vanematele lugusid rebasepere kohta.

Over the weekend, a resident provided a video showing the den under the pavilion. The children and adults are very excited. The first thought of the children when going to kindergarten in the morning is usually: 'How are the foxes? Has the mother fox been caught?' In the evening, the children tell their parents stories about the fox family.

Tänaseks on rebasepere kolm kutsikat kinni püütud, kuid rebaseema on endiselt lasteaia territooriumil. Keskkonnaameti sõnul on kutsikad hästi toitunud ja inimpelglikud, mis annab lootust neid .

As of today, three fox cubs from the family have been caught, but the mother fox is still on the kindergarten grounds. According to the Environmental Board, the cubs are well-fed and friendly towards humans, which gives hope for their release back into the wild.

Keskkonnaameti töötajad soovivad kutsikad metsa viia ja , et kutsikatel ei tekiks harjumust inimeste vastu. Kutsikaid toidetakse ka sulgedega lindudega, et neil oleks oskus . Kui eksperdid arvavad, que kutsikad on valmis, lastakse nad loodusesse tagasi piirkonnas, kus nad vangistati.

Employees of the Environmental Board want to take the cubs to the forest and reduce human contact so that the cubs do not become accustomed to humans. The cubs are also being fed with feathered birds to give them the skill to hunt independently. When experts believe the cubs are ready, they will be released back into the wild in the area where they were captured.

Keskkonnaametil on lootus rebaseema kinni püüda ja see kutsikate juurde viia. Piirkonnas on paigaldatud , mis näitas, et rebaseema liigub lõksude ümber. See annab lootust, et ta lõpuks lõksu läheb.

The Environmental Board hopes to capture the mother fox and bring her to the cubs. A trail camera installed in the area has shown that the mother fox is moving around the traps. This gives hope that she will eventually enter a trap.

Kui rebaseema kinni püüda ei õnnestu, liigub ta tõenäoliselt tagasi oma , mis on suure tõenäosusega Annelinn. Rebaste arvukus Tartus on viimastel aastatel kasvanud. Linna rebased on leidnud endale sobiva elukeskkonna ja seal ka järglasi saanud.

If the mother fox is not caught, she will likely return to her usual environment, which is most probably Annelinn. The number of foxes in Tartu has increased in recent years. The city foxes have found a suitable living environment and have also produced offspring there.
