RIVER OTTER Status. II category. A species with steadily declining numbers. Spreading. Europe (except for the Crimean Peninsula), Asia (except for the Arabian Peninsula and the Far North), North Africa. In the Urals it is found from the tundra of the Yamal Peninsula (70° N) to the Southern Urals inclusive, along the valley of the river. Ural to the mouth. Biology. A semi-aquatic predator. Inhabits waters rich in fish. Prefers rivers with clear water And fast current, the presence of wormwood, hot spots, and empty ice. In the absence of persecution, it gets along well in anthropogenic landscapes. It makes its burrow in the immediate vicinity of a pond or uses beaver, muskrat burrows, rock crevices, and niches under the roots of fallen trees. With a rich food supply, a settled animal can live for several years. When food supplies decrease, it migrates to places with better conditions. The lifestyle is secretive, mostly twilight. Feeds exclusively on food of animal origin: fish, frogs, crayfish, less often small mammals, insects, birds. Clear mating season absent, reaches reproductive age after 2 years. The duration of pregnancy is 63-74 days. Litters range from 1 to 4, usually 2-3 cubs. Natural enemies and the otter has practically no competitors.

Animal world The Urals amazes with its pleasant charm and diversity of animal life. It consists of forest, tundra and steppe animals. The rockiness of the mountains affects the living conditions of animals; it is very difficult for them to survive in such conditions. The rich life of the Urals can be studied for a very long time.

Tundra Tundra animals inhabiting the Polar Urals include reindeer, hoofed lemmings, arctic foxes, Middendorff's vole, and partridges. In the tundra of the Urals, among the predators that live here are the polar owl, the bushy buzzard, and the peregrine falcon. Among the birds, buntings, Lapland plantain, ptarmigan, and red-breasted pipit are numerous.

Reindeer Reindeer is a cloven-hoofed mammal. The only deer that bear antlers are both male and female. These animals have wide hooves, which allows them not to fall through in the snow. Reindeer have very good hearing, but very poor eyesight. In herds, they are guided by the behavior of the leader. In winter, they can get food from under the snow. Deer eat mushrooms, collect bird eggs, drink sea ​​water, eat algae. Reindeer always remain wild. In captivity, they become tame, but you need to watch them closely; if you don’t, the proud son of the North will run wild again. In the North, a rich person is not the one who has a lot of money, but the one who has the most deer.

Arctic fox is small view foxes, rather small, length 45 - 70 cm, weight - from 2 to 8 kg. Arctic foxes typically have white, thick fur, which is designed to protect them from frost. They live in areas northern hemisphere with low air temperature. Arctic foxes eat whatever they find. In cases of food shortage, they try to eat scraps large predators. Arctic foxes are amazing animals, they live in regions that people consider unsuitable for living.

Broadleaf forests There are much more inhabitants in broadleaf forests than in taiga forests. The forests are inhabited by hedgehogs, brown bears, moose, forest ferrets, badgers, brown hares, and wolverines. Among the birds found here are nightingales, orioles, finches, siskins, goldfinches, starlings and rooks. And among amphibians there are non-venomous snakes, toads and newts.

Brown bear lives in the Urals brown bear. This is one of the largest animals of the fauna, kg weight of a bear. In the Urals, the bear was a widespread animal. It cannot be called a predator because it feeds on a variety of foods, both animals and wild berries. In the fall, bears get fat and go into hibernation. They build dens on a dry surface, under upturned tree roots. The period after which they emerge from hibernation depends on the bear itself. Poorly nourished bears leave the den earlier.

Squirrel A squirrel lives in the forests of the Urals. The squirrel has an elongated body with fluffy long tail, color dark brown, red, sometimes gray (especially in winter) with a white belly. The animal's paws are armed with sharp claws, and it can run up and down tree trunks with its head. Squirrels sleep in a tree, in a hollow, or in a warm spherical nest they build on their own. proteins are not able to digest fiber, and therefore feed on vegetation, rich in proteins, carbohydrates and fats - seeds, nuts, berries, and also eat insects, eggs and even small birds, mammals and frogs

Elk The bark of young aspen is the best food for elk in winter. In summer they are in the highlands subalpine meadows. Moose periodically move around in winter in search of better conditions, and can travel even three hundred kilometers. They love to eat the bark of young aspen trees, and in summer they prefer herbaceous vegetation. The normal summer daily ration is thirty kilograms of food. Moose run fast and swim well.

Steppes The steppes of the Urals are rich in a variety of rodents. Here you can see bobak, steppe marmot, ground squirrel, pika and hamsters. The rodents attract the attention of birds of prey such as the steppe eagle, harrier, golden eagle, kite and steppe kestrel. Typical predators are the corsac fox, steppe polecat and wolf.

Gopher In the steppe zone of the Urals, the gopher is a small rodent, a representative of the squirrel family. The gopher, depending on the species, can have different sizes - from medium to very small. Body length 14...40 centimeters. Tail length is from 4 to 25 centimeters. The forelimbs of the ground squirrel are usually shorter than the hind limbs. The ears are small, short, slightly protruding from the fur, and slightly pubescent. The gopher's diet includes underground and above-ground parts of herbs that grow in the immediate vicinity of their home.

We found out. Animals of the Urals are elk, brown bear, wolves, lynx, wild boars, foxes, hares, roe deer, hedgehogs, squirrels, mouse-like rodents. That all animals moult with the onset of cold weather. Molting in animals is a gradual change of fur. Instead of summer wool, a new thick, fluffy one grows in the fall. But some change the color of their fur coat in order to camouflage themselves and become invisible, these are: The hare is a hare - brown-gray in summer, and white in winter, the Squirrel is reddish in summer, and gray in winter, Ermine - brown in summer, white in winter , Weasel is yellow-brown in summer, and pure white in winter. Roe deer are red in summer and gray in winter. Squirrel Roe deer ermine Arctic fox Weasel hare

Slide 10

When preparing for winter, animals behave differently. Squirrel is stocking up. Dries mushrooms, berries, collects nuts, acorns, cones. Others arrange and insulate the home: for a bear - a den, for a squirrel - a hollow, for a hedgehog - a mink, for a fox - a hole. (dry leaves, moss, feathers, wool). They hibernate - a bear, a hedgehog, and gain fat. Wild boar, elk, hare, wolf, and fox find food in the forest all year round. We read Trutneva’s poem “Squirrel” and asked riddles: Why are there mushrooms on the Christmas tree? Do they sit astride branches? Like a squirrel, I shed my fur coat. Not in a basket, not on a shelf, I change gray for white. Not in the moss, not under a leaf - I’ll hide under a bush, Near the trunk and among the branches. I’ll sit down under a pine tree, not wearing them on the branches. The animal will see and not recognize me. Milk mushrooms, saffron milk caps, bruises, forest ones. Fat boletus - And I eat frozen winter, not dry autumn grass, berries, bark. And put on bitches! Who arranged them so cleverly? We played search and educational games. Who cleaned the trash from the mushrooms? character: Why do the fox and the squirrel have such fluffy tails? Why does a hare have such long, sharp teeth? Can you call a forest home? Wild animals take care of themselves. Lada P. Yana Sh. Anya N.
