Type: article
Abstract: The occurrence of a new mammals species, the European mole, was revealed for the Lower Dnister area based on own observations and analysis of materials deposited in the National Museum of Natural History, NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv). In the Lower Dniester area, the species occurs on floodplain meadows, floodplain forests, agrocenoses, and homestead lands. We recorded the species’ migration across the Dnister river during flood in 2008. The present materials are not sufficient to make any conclusions on terms and ways of the species settlement in the region. The authors assume that the species occurred in the Lower Dniester floodplain area earlier.
