摘要: The Balkan chamois Rupicapra rupicapra balcanica Bolkay, 1925 has a highly fragmented distribution in the mountainous regions of the Balkan Range, including Bulgaria. In 2022, we recorded chamois using camera traps in two locations outside its known distribution range, ie in the municipality of Chuprene on the territory of State Forestry Enterprise Midzhur. This is the first well-documented evidence of the presence of the species in the Western Stara Planina Mtn., Bulgaria. The origin of the animals is, most probably, associated with a poorly documented attempt to reintroduce 12 individuals in the region in 2016, with no proper follow-up monitoring or official progress report.
