The study was conducted using camera traps placed in the Goranta Koriya Reserve in Berkovitsa municipality. The photo shows a male specimen in an old forest. There are several possibilities regarding its presence in this part of the Balkan Mountains: a wandering animal from a nearby population or a specimen from a reintroduction attempt.enStara planinacamera trapspopulationFirst record of Balkan chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra balcanicа Bolkay, 1925) in Gornata Кoriya Reserve, Northwestern BulgariaArticle
