Nika Puteikiene
The territory of the Lithuanian Maritime Museum has turned
into a hunting area. An intensive hunt on foxes is going on there.
The war on the long-tailed predators was declared after they had sneaked into the
penguins' territory.Like good war strategists, they slipped into the museum premises
through the frozen defensive ditch and tore two penguins of a rare Antarctic species to
pieces.
Arunas Grusas, manager of the sea mammals and birds department, was appointed commander of
the defensive forces protecting the family of 23 penguins. Arunas having a 20-years
hunting experience is a good shot, but the foxes are remarkably cunning and always find a
way to evade the hunter. Only a few of them have met the bullets.
"Especially cunning is the old he-fox , we can't get hold of him. But we have enough
gunpowder and do not lose hope to trap him", - said Arunas. |
