How wonderful! May I ask you where you were? And how can you tell it's a girl?

Thank you! Of course, it was in Lichadonisia in Greece, if you want to see them I recommend late spring or early summer, absolutely avoid winter because they are not in the area. The males (adults) have a black coloration and a white spot on the lower part of the body, the females are lighter and more uniform, with scars in the dorsal area resulting from the bites of the male during mating that increase numerically with age

Thank you!
I asked you for information because you are one of the few on Juza to have photographed it and, perhaps you are aware, last winter here in Ravenna there were sightings

Yes, we hope that in the coming years a stable presence of the species can be consolidated here too, if you are interested in observing it where I saw it you can read more detailed information in this place that I wrote (in English) on a site specialized in the sighting of wild mammals.
