Forest edges in Belarus near the Polish border now look like this (actually not).
Korobchitsy is a village to the South-West of Grodno with an "agro-tourist complex" which offers a small museum of military equipment, stables, a zoo and a food stall. Feel free to visit if you are yearned for cringe. Zoo is pitiful: bald ostriches, a loud donkey, poor storks and ducks with clipped wings.

There are only two happy animal species in this zoo. First are the peacocks. They can frame chickens and walk where they please.
Fluffy back.
The second species are toads.
