It could only be him to open this window onto the park’s beautiful area!
Wolf - Canis lupus italicus
This photo of this young wolf was taken inside the park on 09/10/2010 at 6:55
Fallow deer - Dama dama
certainly the most numerous species that inhabits the park area
These images were filmed inside the park in October 2005 together with my friend Renato Cottalasso, when the fallow deer's favorite arena was still unknown to most.
Back then it was very frequented by ungulates, now much less so...
Unfortunately, over the years it has been, so to speak... ( "enhanced" ).
For some years now too many curious people, but also photographers who even call themselves Naturalists, yet have no respect for nature and, just to get a few shots, cause the animals, disturbed, to move away against their will.
I don't presume to teach anything to anyone, but I just wanted to tell those who read these few lines that a good photo comes even without forcing nature, which should remain as uncontaminated as possible by our presence.
And besides knowing the habits of the species we want to photograph
only two precautions would be enough: keep a proper distance and certainly not be seen.
Special morning, together with my friend Stefano Mortara, with whom I was lucky enough to admire these beautiful animals as many as 5 times, in different situations.
Above, photos of an adult male that we had the privilege to watch for over half an hour as it followed a trail...
I would advise Antola Park to close the arena for the mating season and make it a quiet area just for them again.

Note: Camera trapping near this wild boar carcass, found dead in the park area, continued throughout the winter period.
In all these months many animals took advantage of this protein source.
The most regular visitors were the buzzards "Buteo buteo": as many as 5 individuals took turns at the feast for all four winter months and about 36,000 shots saved on the memory cards confirm they are the most common raptors in our area.
But also some mammals such as the stone marten "Martes foina "
The fox " Vulpes vulpes " and the most elusive... the badger " Meles meles " took turns for several days at the carrion.
Also, small birds like the great tit "Parus major" and especially the robin "Erithacus rubecula" found nourishment from the death of this wild boar.
The robin even, not caring, or almost... about the buzzard's presence, took advantage of small crumbs of meat that it unintentionally provided.
Prey and predator fed together!... even at very close distances.
