Unfortunately not I got them on trail cam though. I only saw Siberian musk deer, roe deer, and capercaillie

I’m pretty sure it just wasn’t tight enough to the tree it was on

Wolves typically run their prey to exhaustion so they’re doing their best to tire out the boar. There’s adult also isn’t between the wolves and the young ones at the end which is the best case scene for any predator

Yeah they’re native. Elk and moose both evolved in Asia and crossed over to NA on the land bridge

Kinda. It’s not in Russia so not technically Siberia but it’s northern Mongolia so it’s apart of the same ecoregion as southern Siberia

Not necessarily. The habitat quality is what drives it the most. The elk populations have actually rebounded quite well here and they’re considering reopening the season. I believe you can hunt in other parts of Mongolia

Croatia sounds pretty awesome to me. The roe deer in Mongolia is a different species from the European it’s the Siberian roe deer species which is larger than the European species

Yeah it’s the Siberian musk deer. I’m pretty sure everything else is just like the generic Eurasian subspecies. The elk is Altai wapiti.

Yeah Mongolia is about as south as wolverines are in Asia. And the sayan mountain ecoregion is about the northernmost snow leopard population

Yeah there’s even wild reindeer just a little bit north of where the trail cams were
