There are bunch of cats hanging out around the office. Number varies greatly, last year there were 20 cats.

We were told there’s a very big chance to encounter wildlife. While we did not see anything on our trip, the guide told me that there’s a herd of 100 boars roaming around the zone, with some smaller herds in other areas. There are also wolves, przhevalsky horses. At one point we were told to make sure we don’t step on any snakes. In case of animal encounter, we should head back to the car and away from the animal, we were told.
