Abstract:
The causes and features of appearance of the most common zoogenic landforms in the river Ubort basin within Ukraine are analyzed. Particularly, such zoogenic landforms as beaver dams, huts, holes and channels; muskrat huts and holes; brock, fox and hamster holes and hillocks; dog holes; molehills and mole labyrinths; ground and soil anthills are investigated. The characteristic of the size and density of these landforms within particular areas of the investigated region is made.
