The snow is sticking to the ground now, so it has become easier to spot Pteromys volans orii tracks.
During the summer, the thick vegetation makes finding traces of the squirrels difficult. Additionally, they are active at sunset and sunrise, which is also the time that Ursus arctos yesonesis are about. This makes going into the forest a bit tricky.
However, conditions are now just about right for finding animal tracks, which is one of the fun things to do during winter.
*Notice:
It has been reported that snow at Mt. Kurodake’s 7th Station has reached 80 cm. Consequently, the long-awaited opening of the ski area is scheduled for tomorrow. For more information, please visit the Kurodake Ropeway’s website.
