This isn't some kind of parable or allegory. Rats have overrun our housing complex. In Czech, we have separate words for “krysa” and “potkan,” but that's not the case in English—they only have the word

I placed the trail cam on an animal trail beside a dried-up creek. Besides fallow deer and wild boars, foxes use this path regularly — and occasionally, one decides to pose nicely for the lens. Rare moments

A wild boar pack behaves like an animal gang — and where they feel safe, they'll even venture out during the day. I managed to capture some great footage in rugged, inaccessible terrain by a pond, deep

I made an observation, but no identification so far, probably other "mouse" than Apodemus? I will link this video to iNaturalist. Maybe it helps. ▶ Watch on 3speak.tv

Czech and English texts will differ quite a bit. I feel the need to explain Czech cultural references to potential foreign readers—things that don’t need to be explained to Czechs. Besides, I don’t think
