[1] The geoglyph depicts accurate contours of an animal similar to an elk or moose, with four legs, two antlers and a long snout.

Research has continued into the site under Stanislav Grigoriev from the Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of History and Archaeology.

Grigoriev published an article with Nikolai Menshenin from the State Centre for Monument Protection about the discovery in the Antiquity journal in spring 2011.

Excavations in the summer of 2012 have revealed small walls and remains of what are thought to be passageways on the areas around the hoof and snout of the animal.

Further accuracy regarding the dating of the geoglyph is hoped to be obtained from an ongoing study using pollen core analysis.
