On Chuseok, two otters living in Mt. Jiris were playing around and marten, the 'top predator' of the domestic ecosystem, looking for food in a group, were released.



The National Park Service released a video today (8th) in which unmanned cameras installed throughout the national park captured the appearance of endangered wild animals.



In a video filmed at Deogyusan on January 1st, an otter family, a first-class endangered wildlife, was playing at night.



In the video taken on April 1st at Mt. Jirisan, two adult otters are frolicking as if fighting in a water shelter.



In the video filmed at Mt. Jiri on February 5 and Mt. Gaya on June 26, marten, an endangered wildlife class 2, finds food in groups and marks their territory by rubbing their hips against logs.



Marten is omnivorous, eating a variety of food including mammals such as mice and rabbits, birds, and tree nuts, and is the top predator in the national park ecosystem.



A video was also released of the cat, the only feline mammal remaining on the Korean Peninsula and an endangered wildlife class 2, suckling its young in a wetland in Mt. Jiri.



The scene of suckling babies is very rare, the National Park Service explained.



It was also revealed that a pig and an otter are wary of each other at Mt. Toham in Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do.



At Mudeungsan Mountain, unmanned cameras recorded a series of images of young white-necked houndstuffs mating and hatching from eggs laid in March and April.



National parks are home to 177 species, or 66% of all endangered wildlife.
