• что понимается под термином дикая природа;
• нравится ли вам наблюдать за дикой природой;
• где люди могут найти дикую природу в России;

ОТВЕТ
Wildlife traditionally refers to undomesticated animal species and includes all organisms that grow or live wild in an area without being introduced by humans.
An example of wildlife is a deer and a bird that are seen along a hike. I enjoy watching wildlife while walking in the park or forest.
Russia is home to a large variety of wildlife. It is a biodiversity hotspot with its various ecosystems ranging from the tundra region in the far north to the Caucasus Mountains and prairies in the south, including forests which cover 70% of the country’s territory.
Here are the top places to enjoy wildlife in Russia.
• Baikal Nature Reserve.
• Kuznetsk Alatau Reserve.
• Altai Reserve.
• Kronotsky Nature Reserve.
• Caucasian Biosphere Reserve.
The world’s nature reserves not only defend nature for nature’s needs, but also curb erosion, prevent sandstorms, retain water and prevent flooding, and sequester carbon. In addition they provide protection and suitable living conditions to wild animals.
Перевод ответа
Дикая природа традиционно относится к неодомашненным видам животных и включает в себя все организмы, которые растут или живут в дикой природе на определенной территории и не были завезены человеком.
Примером дикой природы являются олень и птица, которых можно увидеть во время похода. Мне нравится наблюдать за дикой природой во время прогулки в парке или лесу.
Россия является домом для большого разнообразия дикой природы. Это горячая точка биоразнообразия с ее разнообразными экосистемами, от тундры на крайнем севере до Кавказских гор и прерий на юге, включая леса, которые покрывают 70% территории страны.
Вот лучшие места для наслаждения дикой природой в России.
• Байкальский заповедник.
• Кузнецкий Алатауский заповедник.
• Алтайский заповедник.
• Кроноцкий заповедник.
• Кавказский биосферный заповедник.
Природные заповедники мира не только защищают природу ради нужд природы, но и сдерживают эрозию, предотвращают песчаные бури, удерживают воду и предотвращают наводнения, а также улавливают углерод. Кроме того, они обеспечивают защиту и подходящие условия для жизни диких животных.

Wildlife in Russia attracts many thousands of romantics, hikers, adventurers and artists. No other country can boast such untouched spaces of civilization! Among the many diverse geographic zones are majestic mountain ranges, blue lakes, dense forests, inaccessible cliffs, river flows and uncovered valleys.
I like wildlife, it is amazingly beautiful and wonderful. I like watching TV documentaries on TV to relax and have some rest. I can name some of the nature attractions around Russia, for example Baikal, which is the deepest lake in the world (1642 meters). It ranks first in the world among freshwater lakes in terms of freshwater (19% of world reserves). It’s more than all of the five Great Lakes combined. If suddenly all the water on Earth disappears, Baikal will be able to provide water for humanity for five years.
And if we speak about the wildlife parks, I can say that they are extremely important to save wildlife and extinct animals.
Дикая природа в России привлекает много тысяч романтиков, туристов, путешественников и художников. Ни одна другая страна не может похвастаться такими нетронутыми пространствами цивилизации! Среди множества разнообразных географических зон — величественные горные хребты, голубые озера, густые леса, недоступные скалы, речные потоки и непокрытые долины.
Мне нравится дикая природа, это очень красиво и прекрасно. Мне нравится смотреть телевизионные документальные фильмы, чтобы расслабиться и отдохнуть. Я могу назвать некоторые природные достопримечательности по всей России, например, Байкал, который является самым глубоким озером в мире (1642 метра). Он занимает первое место в мире среди пресноводных озер (19% мировых запасов). Это больше, чем все пять Великих озер вместе. Если внезапно исчезнет вся вода на Земле, Байкал сможет обеспечивать водой человечество пять лет.
И если мы говорим о парках дикой природы, могу сказать, что они чрезвычайно важны для спасения дикой природы и вымерших животных.
Nature
Природа
Mother-Nature is so varied. We usually divide it into two types: wildlife and inorganic nature. Animals, plants, weather, water or earth, all is the part of nature. People are also the part of nature. Sometimes we forget about it and do harm to the nature. Nature is our home. We live here. It is the main reason why we must not pollute the nature and do harm to it. We must protect it from air or water pollution or unauthorized disposal fields, for example.
Мать-природа так разнообразна. Мы обычно делим природу на два типа: живая и неживая. Животные, растения, погода, вода или земля — все это часть природы. Люди также являются частью природы. Иногда мы забываем об этом и причиняем вред природе. Природа — наш дом. Мы живем здесь. Это главная причина, по которой мы не должны загрязнять природу и причинять ей вред. Например, мы должны защищать ее от загрязнения воздуха или загрязнения воды или несанкционированных свалок.
Nature is beautiful. We enjoy and admire it. All over the world we can find unique places that seem to be from a fairy tale. Fascinating waterfalls and unusual landscapes attract millions tourists from every part of our planet. I want to travel a lot in my life to see as many places as possible. Even in one place you may find a lot of interesting.
Природа прекрасна. Мы наслаждаемся и восхищаемся ею. Во всем мире мы можем найти уникальные места, которые, кажется, словно из сказки. Чарующие водопады и необычные пейзажи привлекают миллионы туристов со всех уголков нашей планеты. Я хочу много путешествовать, чтобы увидеть как можно больше мест. Даже в одном месте планеты вы можете найти много интересного.
I want to travel through Russia. Nature here varies from city to city. I like pine woods in Siberia, warm and sunny weather of the Black sea areas, volcanoes in Kamchatka. There are so many fascinating and wonderful places!
Я хочу путешествовать по России. Природа здесь меняется от города к городу. Мне нравятся хвойные леса в Сибири, теплая и солнечная погода в районе Черного моря, вулканы на Камчатке. Так много увлекательных и замечательных мест!
You will definitely enjoy nature in every country, in every part of the Earth. Nature may be beautiful with its waterfalls and landscapes or awful and powerful with its disasters. Anyway it is our home and we are the part of it. Enjoy nature and keep it.
Вы обязательно насладитесь природой в любой стране, во всех уголках Земли. Она может завораживать водопадами и пейзажами или ужасать мощью природных катастроф. Так или иначе, природа – это наш дом, и мы ее часть. Наслаждайтесь природой и берегите ее.
Природа нашей страны разнообразна: у нас есть огромные реки, озёра, как море, дремучие леса, бесконечная тайга, снежные просторы, тундра, моря. The nature of our country is diverse: we have huge rivers, lakes, like the sea, dense forests, endless taiga, snowy expanses, tundra, seas.

Topic «Nature»
People do usually say that nature is our mother. It gives a person everything that is necessary for life, even though we don’t always appreciate its gifts. What could be better than the warm sun, majestic mountains, and blooming trees in the spring? The world of nature is very rich and varied. There are hundreds of thousands of species, many of which we’ve never seen in our life.
We all used to live in a world that seems to be built by ourselves. We live in big houses equipped with high-tech consumer devices; we are able to travel long distances using cars, trains, and planes. We are able to know what is happening thousands of miles away, over the Internet or television. But all of this is secondary. We use the knowledge of the laws of nature and its power to create all these technologies anyway.
Certainly, you cannot live fully if you do not have the opportunity to bask in the summer sun, enjoy the fresh morning air, breathe the scent of roses, see billions of stars high in the night sky. Some may disagree, but all of us need these simple pleasures from time to time. People like to spend their weekend and holidays outdoors so that communication with nature helps them to relax and gather strength to solve important problems in our «human» world.
It is very frustrating that people are fascinated by the development of new technologies that often damage the nature. Our activity causes the pollution of the environment, climate changes, extinction of animals and plants. Years ago it was not very noticeable, but now the people in the big cities just cannot breathe.
Remember that by harming nature we make ourselves worse too. So we cannot be indifferent and have to keep wealth and beauty of our nature.
Топик «Природа»
Часто люди говорят, что природа — наша мать. Она дает человеку все, что необходимо для жизни, хотя мы не всегда ценим ее подарки. Что может быть лучше, чем теплое солнце, величественные горы и цветущие деревья весной? Мир природы очень богат и разнообразен. Существуют сотни тысяч видов, многие из которых мы никогда не видели в нашей жизни.
Мы привыкли жить в мире, который, кажется, построен нами самими. Живем в огромных домах, оснащенных высокотехнологичными потребительскими устройствами; мы можем путешествовать на большие расстояния, используя автомобили, поезда и самолеты. Мы можем узнать, что происходит за тысячи километров, через Интернет или телевидение. Но все это вторично. В любом случае, мы используем знания о законах природы и их силе для создания всех этих технологий.
Очень расстраивает то, что люди восхищаются развитием новых технологий, которые часто наносят ущерб природе. Наша деятельность часто вызывает загрязнение окружающей среды, провоцирует климатические изменения, вымирание животных и растений. Много лет назад это было не очень заметно, но теперь люди в больших городах просто не могут дышать.
Помните, что причиняя вред природе, мы делаем хуже и себе. Поэтому мы не можем оставаться безразличными и должны сохранять богатство и красоту нашей природы.

Сочинение на английском языке с переводом. Номинация Наш мир.
Great Britain and Russia — they are so different! Historically, geographically, politically… It seems that these are absolutely different countries … But everything is changing.
We can say that the cardinal and rapid transformations of the last decades have considerably changed the picture of the world. Currently the world is going to the global integration. Economical, political, cultural relations between Eastern and Western countries are becoming closer year by year. Greater and greater contact between people of various countries, races and communities, and more and more knowledge of each other`s culture, gradually tend to evolve a common world culture in which in course of time the best elements of the various cultures may be incorporated and synthesized. And we think nowadays it is a favourable time for people from different countries to understand each other cultures and lifestyles. But in this paper we would like to discuss the wildlife of two countries — the United kingdom of Great britain and Northern Ireland and Russia.
The United Kingdom of Great britain and Northern Ireland is a country that differs from Russia in many aspects. Therefore we can suggest that the wildlife of these two countries should be different, too. Let us compare the wildlife in the United Kingdom and the Russian Federation, find the differences and similarities.
First of all, let us compare the climates of the two countries. As everyone knows one of the most influential factors that affect a country`s nature and wildlife is the climate. The United Kingdom is a relativelysmall country which is situated on the island. That fact determines the specificity of the climate. It is mild and maritime, and the weather is changeable from day to day. Summers in the UK are warm and wet and winters generally mild and wet. As the territory is small, there are no great differences from one part of the country to another.
As for the Russian Federation, it is a very big country, that`s why the climate varies greatly. Russia is the largest country in the world, with nine time zones, and the climate can be different in various areas of the country. The cold arctic climate is in the north Siberia and the sub-tropical hot climate is near the Black Sea. But the most of the country has a continental climate, typically characterized by long cold winters and short summers.

The differences in climate cannot but influence the wildlife in these countries. The wildlife, as everyone knows, includes its flora and fauna and their natural habitats. Let us review the unique wildlife of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Russian Federation.
British fauna includes an incredible selection of animals. A wide variety of different animals can be found in and around the country. Rodents make up 40% of the total number of mammal species in Great Britain. These include squirrels, mice, voles, rats and the recently reintroduced European beaver. There is also an abundance of rabbits, hares, hedgehogs, shrews, moles and several species of bat. Carnivorous mammals include the fox, badger, otter, weasel, stoat and elusive wildcat. The largest land-based wild animals in the UK today are deer. The red deer is the largest species on the British Isles, with roe deer and fallow deer also prominent; the latter was introduced by the Normans.
There is a wealth of birdlife in Britain, 583 species in total, of which 258 breed on the island or remain during winter. Because of its mild winters for its latitude, Great Britain hosts important numbers of many wintering species, particularly ducks, geese and swans. Other well known bird species include the golden eagle, grey heron, kingfisher, pigeon, sparrow, pheasant, partridge, and various species of crow, finch, gull, auk, grouse, owl and falcon.
Various species of seal, whale and dolphin are found on or around British shores and coastlines.
As for the landscape of Russia it includes every kind of habitat found in the northern latitudes: among them are Arctic tundra; great, meandering rivers; vast, windswept plains; mountain ranges; cold, dark seas; and sprawling forests of conifers and birches. So Russia houses a great number of various animal species. We can name mammals of more than 300 species, birds of more than 700 species, amphibians of about 30 species and reptiles of 80 species. Along the coast of the Arctic Ocean live polar bear, walrus, and seal. The reindeer, lemming, arctic fox, hare, and ermine are among the most commonanimals inland. Birds are plentiful, especially such migratory waterfowl as ducks and geese.
The forests of Russia are the most extensive in the world. Animals include brown bears, wolves, elk, deer, lynxes, gluttons (animals similar to wolverines), foxes, sables, martens, badgers, and more than 200 species of birds.
In the north is a region, sometimes called the forest steppe. This region has been settled for centuries. There are a great number of burrowing animals — hamsters, jerboas, lemmings, moles, rabbits, rats, skunks, and, especially, ground squirrels. There are also many kinds of birds, including bitterns, and hawks.
It`s not a secret that (unfortunately) unmanaged commercial exploitation has driven some species of wild animals to the edge of extinction. In both countries there is the same problem — the extinction of some animals. For example, over the last 1,000 years several native animals have become extinct in Britain, mainly as aresult of human activities. 100 species have become extinct in the UK during the 20th century. Many more of wild animals could become extinct unless people take care. However, some species, such as the brown rat, red fox, and grey squirrel, are well adapted to urban areas. In the UK the consistent lack of extremes provides an excellent footing for wide varieties of animals.

And what about Russia? The problem is similar! Some native animals have become extinct in Russia, and some others are in danger. Among the currently endangered species are the Siberian (or Amur) tiger, Far Eastern (or Amur) leopard, snow leopard, green sturgeon, goral, Steller`s sea eagle, scaly-sided merganser, and Blakiston`s fish owl. Other notable animals whose habitats are a conservation priority in the country are the lynx, Asiatic black bear, brown bear, yellow-throated marten, snow sheep, and eight species of salmon (appendix 6).
As we can see, the problem is the same for both countries.
And now let us discuss British and Russian flora.
Before the British Isles were separated from the Continent, there were 32 established species of broad-leaved trees, 3 species of conifer and a few shrubs. All other trees now growing in the territory of the country were introduced by man; among them we can name many hundreds of species of trees and shrubs that may now be found growing in Britain.
The island has a wide variety of trees, including native species of birch, beech, ash, hawthorn, elm, oak, yew, pine, cherry and apple. Other trees have been naturalized, introduced especially from other parts of Europe (particularly Norway) and North America. Introduced trees include several varieties of pine, chestnut, maple, spruce, sycamore and fir, as well as cherry plum and pear trees. The tallest species are the Douglas firs; two specimens have been recorded measuring 212 feet (65 meters).
The Yew is the oldest tree in Europe.
There are at least 1500 different species of wildflower in Britain. Some 107 species are particularly rare or vulnerable and are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. It is illegal to uproot any wildflowers without the landowner`s permission. The vote in 2002 nominated various wildflowers to represent specific counties. These include red poppies, bluebells, daisies, daffodils, rosemary, gorse, iris, ivy, mint, orchids, brambles, thistles, buttercups, primrose, thyme, tulips, violets, cowslip, heather and many more.
There is a great number of plants in the vast territory of Russia. Biologists argue that there are over 11,400 species of plants throughout the country. Russia has several soil and vegetation zones, each has its characteristic flora. Mosses, lichens, sedges, and small shrubs, such as dwarf birch, willow, and juniper, are the chief plants of tundra.
The taiga, a coniferous forest, makes up the northern and central part of the forest belt.Pines, firs, and larches predominate there. The southern part of the forest belt is made up mainly of deciduous trees, such as oak, aspen, hornbeam, linden, ash, alder, elm, maple, and, above all, birch.

Caucasus Mountains are not just a mountain ridge. This is a rich habitat for many species of flora and fauna which feel great on the wooded slopes, and alpine meadows. In the semidesert zone, we can find such plants as xerophytic grasses and shrubs. So, Russian flora is extremely different and various, too.
Having reviewed the wildlife in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Russian Federation, we can make some comparisons. First of all, there is no doubt that the wildlife in the two countries differs from each other. It can be explained with a number of factors, such as the difference in the size of the territories, geographical positions, climate, landscape, etc.
But at the same time I can see some similarities between the wildlife in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Russian Federation. Both countries have a great number of animals, birds and fish, and many of them are the same in the UK and Russia. There is also a great number of plant species in the two countries, and many of them are the same.
In my opinion the United Kingdom and the Russian Federation have the common problem — the problem of extinction of some rare animals, birds and plants. Both countries have the same task — to prevent the extinction, to safe the endangered species. This problem can unite scientists and common people from both countries, and all together we will certainly be able to safe the unique wildlife of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Russian Federation. The UK and Russia can join their efforts to solve this problem.
Великобритания и Россия — это такие разные страны! В историческом, географическом, политическом плане… Кажется, что это абсолютно разные страны. Но все меняется.
Можно с уверенностью сказать, что события последних десятилетий поменяли картину мира. В настоящее время мир стремится к всеобщей глобализации. Экономические, политические и культурные связи между Востоком и Западом становятся теснее год за годом. Тесные связи между людьми разных стран, рас и обществ, обмен культурными ценностями постепенно приводит к тому, что появляется единая мировая культура, где элементы различных культур переплетаются и объединяются. Я считаю, что сейчас благоприятное время для того, чтобы люди общались и понимали понять культуру и образ жизни людей из других стран. Но в данном сочинении я хотела бы поговорить о дикой природе двух стран — Великобритании и России.
Соединенное Королевство Великобритания и Северной Ирландии — страна, отличающаяся от России по многим аспектам. Следовательно, можно предположить, что и дикая природа страны должна отличаться. Давайте сравним природуэтих стран, найдем схожее и отличное.
Прежде всего, сравним климат двух стран. Все знают, что климат — это один из факторов, влияющих на природу страны. Соединенное Королевство относительно небольшое государство, расположенное на острове. Этот факт определяет климат страны. Он мягкий и морской. Погода может меняться каждый день. Лето в Великобритании теплое и влажное, зима обычно мягкая и влажная. Поскольку территория небольшая, климат не особенно отличается в различных частях страны.

Россия — страна больших возможностей
… ты амбициозен, не щадишь своих сил и времени, чтоб добиться своего. Россия – страна больших возможностей. Но открываются они лишь целеустремленным людям. Примером такой целеустремленности для меня является … может не видеть тех возможностей, которые дают ему молодость, время, страна… Так решайтесь, люди! Соберите в кулак свои силы и идите вперед! Страна Россия велика, Её просторы безграничны, …
Российская Федерация — большая страна, поэтому климат резко отличается. Россия самая большая страна в мире и включает в себя 9 часовых поясов. Климат различается в разных частях страны: холодный арктический климат в северной Сибири и субтропический жаркий климат на побережье Черного моря. Но все-таки характерный климат на большей территории стран — континентальный. Он характеризуется длинной холодной зимой и коротким летом.
Различия в климате не могут не влиять наприроду этих стран. Природа, как все знают, делится на флору и фауну. Давайте рассмотрим уникальную дикую природу Великобритании и России.
Британская фауна включает в себя бесчисленное разнообразие животных. В этой стране можно встретить различных животных. В Великобритании грызуны составляют 40% от всех млекопитающих. Это белки, мыши, полевки, крысы и недавно привезенные из Европы бобры. На территории этой страны также живут разные виды кроликов, зайцев, ежей, землероек, кротов и летучих мышей. Плотоядные млекопитающие, обитающие в Великобритании, — это лиса, барсук, выдра, ласка, горностай и неуловимая дикая кошка. Самое большое дикое животное, обитающее на суше, — это олень. Вид благородного оленя — самый многочисленный вид на Британских островах, а также здесь известны косуля и лань, которая была привезена когда-то викингами.
В Британии большое разнообразие птиц: 583 вида, из которых 258 видов остается на зиму. Поскольку в Великобритании мягкие зимы, сюда прилетают птицы на зимовку, например, утки, гуси и лебеди. Также среди известных птиц можно отметить золотого орла, серую цаплю, зимородка, голубя, воробья, фазана, серую куропатку, различные виды ворона, зяблика, чайку, куропатку, сову и сокола.
Вокруг островов и вдоль береговой линии можно увидеть различные виды тюленей, китов и дельфинов.
Что касается ландшафта России, то на ее просторах мы можем встретить Арктическую тундру, большие извилистые реки, обширные равнины, горные цепи, холодные и глубокие моря, дремучие хвойные и лиственные леса. Поэтому в России обитают разнообразные виды животных: млекопитающих более, чем 300 видов; птиц боле, чем 700 видов, земноводных около 30 видов и рептилий около 80 видов. Вдоль побережья Арктического океана живут полярные медведи, моржи и тюлени. Северный олень, лемминг, арктическая лиса, заяц и горностай — привычные обитатели арктического побережья. Здесь же живут множество птиц, например, перелетные водоплавающие птицы — утки и гуси.
Огромные территории в России занимают леса. В лесах живут бурые медведи, волки, лоси, олени, рыси, росомахи, лисы, соболи, куницы, барсуки и свыше 200 видов птиц.
На севере России есть регион, называемый лесными степями. Здесь обитают норные животные: хомяки, лемминги, тушканчики, кроты, кролики, крысы, скунсы и земляные белки. Также здесь обитают птицы, например, выпь и ястреб.
К сожалению, неуправляемое коммерческое использование растений и животных привело в тому, что некоторые виды находятся на грани исчезновения. Это проблема для обоих стран. Например, за последнее тысячелетие некоторые виды животных исчезли в Великобритании, в основном в результате деятельности человека. Только 100 видов исчезло в Великобритании в 20 веке. Однако, некоторые виды, например, коричневая летучая мышь, красная лиса, серая белка приспособились к городским районам.

Какова же ситуация в России? Здесь мы видим одну и ту же проблему! Одниживотные находятся на грани исчезновения, а другие подвергаются опасности. Среди них сибирский (амурский) тигр, дальневосточный (амурский) леопард, снежный леопард, зеленый осетр, горал, морской орел стела, крохаль и блэкистон рыба-сова. А проблема сохранения таких важных животных как рысь, азиатский черный медведь, коричневый бурый медведь, желторотая куница, снежная овца и восемь видов лосося имеет первостепенное значение для страны.
Как мы видим, эти проблемы одинаковы в обеих странах.
А теперь поговорим о британской и российской флоре. Давайте обсудим британский и российский растительный мир.
Когда британские острова еще были частью континента, было зафиксировано 32 вида широколиственных деревьев, 3 вида хвойных и несколько видов кустов. Остальные деревья, растущие на территории страны, были завезены людьми: среди них можно обнаружить многие сотни видов деревьев и кустов, которые в настоящее время растут в Британии.
Наострове существует большое разнообразие деревьев, включая первичные виды березы, бука, ясеня, боярышника, вязь, дуба, тиса, сосны, вишни и яблока. Другие деревья были специально завезены из других частей Европы (частично из Норвегии) и Северной Америки. Завезенные деревья включали несколько видов сосен, каштана, клена, ели, платана и пихты, а также вишню, сливу и грушу. Самым высоким видом была дуглаская ель, два экземпляра которой достигали высоты 212футов (65 метров).
Тис – старейшее дерево в Европе.
В Британии существуют, по крайней мере, 1500 разновидностей диких цветов. 107 видов из них особенно редкие, находятся на грани исчезновения и охраняются организацией Wildlife с 1981 года. Срывать дикие цветы без разрешения землевладельца незаконно. Голосованием в 2002 году было решено, что разнообразные дикие цветы будут служить для представления каждого графства. Туда входят красные маки, колокольчики, маргаритки, нарцисс, розмарин, дрок, ирис, плющ, мята, орхидея, ежевика, репейник, чертополох, лютик, примула, тимьян, тюльпан, фиалка, первоцвет, вереск и многие другие.
На обширной территории России тоже существует огромное число растений. Биологи спорят о том, что их более 11,4000 видов по всей стране. В России есть несколько почвенных и растительных зон, каждая из которых представлена своей флорой. Мох, лишайники, осока и карликовые кусты, такие как карлик-береза, ива и можжевельник – главные растения тундры.
Тайга, место хвойных лесов, составляет северную и центральную часть лесного массива. В ней преобладают сосны, ели и лиственница. Южную часть леса составляют в основном лиственные деревья, такие как дуб, осина, граб, липа, ясень, ольха, ель, клен и среди них береза.
Кавказские горы представляют собой не просто горный хребет. Это богатое место обитания для многих представителей природы, которые хорошо чувствуют себя на лесных склонах и альпийских лугах. В степной зоне можно найти такие различные растения, травы и кусты. Итаким образом, российская флора также разнообразна и уникальна.
Познакомившись с природой Великобритании и России, мы можем провести некоторые сравнения.

Россия — мой дом моя страна

В центральной части страны зимы обычно холодные, лето очень … много больших заводов и фабрик по всей стране. Россия-тоже аграрная страна. Русские сажают кукурузу, фрукты и овощи. У России очень богатая история. Это древняя страна с большим количеством исторических …
Во-первых, нет сомнения, что дикая природа двух стран отличается друг от друга. Это можно объяснить рядом факторов, таких как различия в размере территории, географическое расположение, климат, ландшафт и т.д.
Но в то же время мы можем увидеть сходства между двумя государствами. В обеих странах есть одни и те же виды животных, птиц и рыб. Также существует огромное число растений в двух странах и многие из них схожи.
На наш взгляд, в России и Великобритании существует одна общая проблема – проблема исчезновения некоторых редких видов животных, птиц и растений. Обе страны имеют общую задачу — предотвратить вымирание и сохранить исчезающие виды. Эта проблема может объединить ученых и людей из обеих стран, и все вместе, несомненно, смогут спасти уникальную дикую природу Великобритании и России. Эти страны могут объединить свои усилия для решения общей проблемы.

Also called the Northern Tiger, the ferocious Amur Tiger is known to occupy the southeast region of Russia. While here they are mostly concentrated on the banks of the Amur and Ussuri rivers, they are also found in many places in Asia. Unlike other tigers in the world, this species tends to be very secretive and dangerous, which is why onlookers and wildlife enthusiasts are always advised to maintain a strict distance from these beasts and only venture out in these areas in the company of trained guides. Apart from being so daunting, the Amur TIgers also happen to bigger than other tiger species with a night vision that’s five times better than that of humans. After successful attempts at conserving and protecting this species in Russia, these tigers no longer face extinction.

The Russian Bear happens to the national animal of Russia.

The Taiga
The Taiga, which means ‘forest’ in Russian, is the world’s largest biome. It consists of coniferous forests and cover a large part of Russia, Scandinavia, and North America. The Taiga has a subarctic climate with large differences in temperature between seasons. Winters are long and very cold with only snowfall, and temperatures can drop as low as -54C degrees. Summers are very short but warm and humid; sometimes temperatures reach 30C degrees. (For example in Chelyabinsk temperatures can drop as low as -42C degrees. I am from Chelyabinsk)
Allowance for travelers, I can give you two pieces of advice, for travelers , who want visit Taiga / Russia. Firstly, you should be ready for terrible climate in winter and a lot of snow, because I know some situations when travelers were lost and someone can’t survive, it’s sad. In some areas of the taiga you can’t see sky, because the trees so high. In general, in the Taiga is very easy and to get lost. Secondly, you should be ready to meet some extra animals, like bear and moose. They can be so cute, but they can eat you very fast, that you can’t catch this feelings. But if you want to visit taiga then do not forget to bring your camera, because in the Taiga you will see breathtaking view and perfect scenery.
Bear is an omnivore, it’s diet varies depending on the habitat. For example, the North American grizzly, like Kamchatka bears grow large due to eating fish. You’ve probably seen a lot of photos where bears fishing in the creek. In those places where a lot of fish, a bear does not deliver its complexity is easy to produce. But the bears that live in Central Eurasia, tend to be much smaller, as feed, usually plant foods: berries, herbs. So, I really want to visit this breathtaking place, what about you? Thank you.

Below you can find a complete list of Russian animals. We currently track 290 animals in Russia and are adding more every day!
Russia is the largest country in the world by landmass. There are more than 125,000 types of animals in Russia. Accordingly, this number is so high because of the diverse ecosystems found in Russia, including polar deserts, tundra, forest-tundra, taiga, mixed and broad-leaved forests, forest-steppe, steppe (grassland plains), semi-desert, and subtropics. Over 250 threatened animal species inhabit the country. Many different factors threaten these species, like industrial waste, oil and gas exploration, climate change, and land degradation. There are some facts about wildlife in Russia.
The Official National Animal of Russia

The official national animal of Russia is the Eurasian brown bear. Additionally, the brown bear is also the national animal of Finland and Croatia. Officials chose this symbol because it possesses many different characteristics. People living in Russia view it as a strong animal that is resilient and persevering.
You can find the largest Eurasian brown bear population in the world in Russia’s Ural Mountain range. Climate change, human development, and other factors have cut down their populations annually. While the Russian military often portrays this symbol as ferocious, the government sometimes uses other forms for the bear, occasionally in stuffed animal form.
Where To Find The Top Wild Animals
There are many places you can find wild animals in Russia. Types of animals vary depending on climate and environment, ranging in diversity across the country.
- Arctic Fox– You can find arctic foxes in the wild at the Bering Sea’s Commander Islands.
- Wild Boar– Humans introduced wild boars into the Ural Mountains range in the 1930s, and it is still a unique place to see them.
- Red Deer– Find the largest red deer herds in Russia on the Taymyr Peninsula.
- Eurasian Lynx– See this unique animal in coniferous forests from the western borders up to Kamchatka and Sakhalin.
- Siberian Tigers– There are many Siberian tigers in Russia’s birch forests. In particular, look in the Sikhote-Alin Range in the Primorsky and Khabarovsk provinces to see these unique animals.
- Polar Bears – Wrangel Island has the highest density of polar bear dens in the world. One of the reasons for this fact is that the area is highly undeveloped. Located in Russia’s Arctic Far East, Wrangel Island is often called the polar bear maternity wing.
Animals native to Russia, such as the Eurasian lynx and the Siberian tiger, are experiencing population decline as a result of human encroachment, habitat destruction, and climate change. While conservation efforts are in place, it remains important to remember rules and regulations when visiting this exquisite country.
Native Birds

Russia is a country that provides habitats for many species of birds, some of which are unique and can only be found in the region. Many migratory birds also pass through Russia during their seasonal journeys, making it an important stopover along their routes.
The various climates across Russia provide suitable homes to over 500 species of native birds, including large predators like eagles and hawks, as well as smaller songbirds such as finches and sparrows. These diverse bird populations make for colorful and vibrant skies above Russian cities and towns, providing a wonderful spectacle for locals to enjoy all year round!

Russia is home to a large number of snake species, some venomous and some not. The diversity of habitats in Russia, from the frozen tundra to the forested areas further south, provides an ideal environment for snakes to thrive.
Some of the most common species found in Russia include European adders, grass snakes, smooth snakes, steppe vipers, and Aesculapian Snakes. These species have adapted well to their environments and can survive despite the extreme temperatures that characterize so much of this vast country. It is estimated that there are more than 100 different snake species spread across many regions throughout Russia.
Despite the extreme temperatures and environments of Russia, various snake species, venomous and not, still roam its provinces.

Countless other snake species make their home in Russia. If bitten by one of these sneaky reptiles, it is always important to seek professional medical attention, even if the species is considered nonvenomous. Certain allergic reactions may occur, and it is best to be cautious in these situations.
3 Largest Animals in Russia
©Szczepan Klejbuk/Shutterstock.com
Some of the largest animals in Russia are the Siberian tiger (also known as the Amur tiger), the brown bear, and the Caucasian Wisent. The Siberian Tiger can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh up to 500 pounds! They typically live in taiga forests with dense vegetation and deep snow cover but have been spotted as far south as Beijing.
Another very large animal is the brown bear which is native throughout much of Russia’s temperate forest regions. Male bears can weigh up to 1,000 pounds and measure over 7 feet tall when standing on their hind legs! Brown bears generally inhabit coniferous forests that offer plenty of food sources, such as salmon or berries.
The European bison, also known as the wisent, is another huge animal in Russia and can reach an average of 1,345 lb. This species is native to Europe but has been introduced to parts of Asia and North America. To survive in its natural environment, it feeds on grasses, leaves from shrubs and trees, herbs, and mushrooms.
3 Rarest Animals in Russia

The three rarest animals in Russia that are still alive and not extinct include the Amur Leopard, Polar Bear, and Snowy Owl.
The Amur Leopard is an endangered species of leopard that lives mainly in the mountain forests of southeastern Russia. They prefer to live in habitats with dense vegetation, such as rocky areas or forested hillsides.
Polar Bears inhabit the Arctic Circle regions around northern Siberia and are distinguished by their white fur, which helps them blend into their snowy surroundings. These majestic creatures rely on sea ice for hunting seals and other prey items during winter months when food is scarce.
Snowy Owls can be found living across vast expanses of tundra from western Alaska to eastern Eurasia, inhabiting areas from treeless plains to shorelines with grasslands or marshes nearby. These owls typically hunt small rodents like mice or voles during nighttime hours, taking advantage of their exceptional hearing capabilities to find these prey items even under deep snow coverings.
The Most Dangerous Animals In Russia Today

Two of the most dangerous animals in Russia are bears and wolves. Bears can be found throughout Russia, with brown bears inhabiting densely forested areas from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Coast. These powerful predators can weigh over 1100 pounds and have been known to kill humans when provoked or surprised by their presence.
Wolves also inhabit much of Russia’s woodlands, forests, tundra, and steppes. Both species pose a serious risk to humans who venture into remote parts of the Russian wilderness without taking proper precautions.
While most wildlife in Russia is not dangerous, there are some animals that you should avoid contact with to stay safe. Keeping these facts in mind can help save your life.
- Ticks – Ticks can carry encephalitis and Lyme disease. This can lead to swelling of the brain, seizures, and the inability to move.
- Northern Viper – The Northern viper can grow up to 31.5 inches long and have fangs up to 1.5 inches long. While it prefers to avoid human contact, it will bite if startled. That bite can be deadly.
- Eurasian Brown Bears – About 50% of all brown bears in the world live in Russia. These powerful bears can kill with a single swipe of their paw. Most bear attacks are by single bears, with many occurring when something wakes the bear up during winter hibernation.
- Grey Wolves – As habitat has disappeared, grey wolves have moved into neighborhoods, which has led to more grey wolf attacks. While facts show that they often hunt in packs, single attacks have occurred. The grey wolf prefers to dine on fish, but overfishing has lowered that number.
- Wild boars – Wild boars use their tusk as their primary weapon. Since they cannot see well, they often attack anything that they deem a threat to them. These animals can run up to 30 miles per hour and have maintained that speed for over 1 mile.
- Karakurt spider – Normally found in the Astrakhan Region, the Karakurt spider can migrate north when temperatures rise. If you get bitten by this spider that typically lives in ravines, then you can hold a hot match to the bite to remove the poison. In all cases, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
- Lynx – Lynxes often hang out in trees, where they jump down on their prey. They usually target the neck.
Endangered Russian Animals

Hunting, poaching, and industrialization are three factors that contribute to the increase in endangered animals in Russia annually. Hunting is one of the most influential human activities contributing to species decline and extinction worldwide, including in Russia. More specifically, hunting for fur or sport has caused substantial losses to some animal populations as well as entire species extinctions.
Poaching is another major threat faced by many Russian animal species. This illegal activity can involve a wide range of practices, such as trapping birds to sell their feathers or killing large mammals for their meat or body parts.
Finally, industrialization has led to a significant loss of natural habitats due to logging, mining, and other forms of land development, which have had a tremendous impact on wildlife across Russia. All these activities together have caused an alarming decrease in native species abundance over the years, with many now facing extinction if immediate action isn’t taken soon enough.
Some of the top endangered animals include:
- Amur Leopard
- Saiga Antelope
- Ussuri Dhole
- North Pacific Right Whale
- Muisk Vole
- Asiatic Lion
- Persian Leopard
- Siberian Tiger
- Snow Leopard
- European Mink
- West Caucasian Tur

Zoos of Russia
Zoos and aquariums in Russia serve as educational facilities where people can learn about different species from around the world and understand how these creatures interact with one another within their environments. They also help preserve endangered species by providing them with safe spaces to breed in captivity until they can be reintroduced into their natural habitats.
In Russian zoos, you can find many different kinds of animals, including polar bears, tigers, elephants, camels, reindeer, and more! You will also see some unique birds, such as cranes, that live in Russia’s wetlands regions like Siberia.
There are also plenty of opportunities at Russian zoos to get up close and personal with some of your favorite furry friends! From petting zoo sessions to feeding times, visitors can make meaningful connections with animals through these interactive experiences. Additionally, there may be special events taking place throughout the year featuring guest speakers or animal shows that display behaviors we might never witness out in nature otherwise!
The large country of Russia holds around 32 zoos and aquariums. Out of these, several are considered the most popular; these are ranked below.
- Novosibirisk Zoo: Home to a “liger,” a crossbred lion and tiger, this zoo is one of the largest in the country, with countless other impressive species such as white tigers, polar bears, leopards, and dolphins. Several native species are on exhibit, as well, including Siberian lynxes and Pallas’s cats. The Novosibirisk Zoo was established in 1933 and is now recognized for its role in conservation efforts, protecting around 350 endangered species and dedicated to educational programs.
- Leningrad Zoo: At the center of St. Petersburg, Leningrad Zoo is the oldest in Russia. Exhibits in Leningrad Zoo are specially designed to keep the occupants comfortable through Russian temperature extremes, perfect for monkeys, owls, polar bears, and tigers. Twice monthly free days are provided to patrons, educational programs are directed within the zoo, and feeding shows also draw in visitors.
- Ishevsk Zoo: Concentrated on endangered species conservation efforts, Ishevsk Zoo was opened in 2008, commemorating the 450th anniversary of the Udmurt Republic joining Russia. A majority of the 300 species in the zoo are considered endangered, and a large number are native to Russia. Brown bears, wolves, Amur tigers, leopards, walruses, and snowy owls are a few examples of species located within the zoo.
- Moscow Zoo: Known as the largest zoo in Russia and the first in the world to establish educational programs, the Moscow Zoo opened as a living museum outdoors’ in the 1860s. The zoo relies on housing animals in habitats resembling their natural environments, keeping them comfortable and giving them plenty of room. Popular birds of prey, savannah species, big cats, apes, and many more species are found in this zoo. The Moscow Zoo highly encourages scientific research efforts, continuing conservation worldwide.
Amazingly, many Russian zoos work closely with conservation groups, maintaining educational programs for locals and visitors, crucial in preserving and protecting native and exotic species of the expansive, diverse country.
The Flag of Russia
©Negro Elkha/Shutterstock.com
The national flag of Russia is a horizontal tricolor of equally sized fields: white on top, blue in the middle, and red at the bottom.
The national flag of Russia is a symbol of the nation’s pride and strength. It represents its people, values, and history. The white field on top stands for openness and nobility, while the blue in the middle represents loyalty, integrity, and truthfulness. Red at the bottom signifies love, courage, bravery, and passion – all key attributes of Russian citizens.
These colors were chosen with great thought to represent these important traits, as they are seen as essential to being a good citizen in Russia. This tricolor design was used during World War I by soldiers who fought against German invaders in order to show their unity and patriotism for their country. Since then, it has become an iconic symbol associated with Russian culture.
Fish in Russia

Russia is home to a wide variety of fish, including some that are incredibly beautiful. One of the most striking species is the sterlet sturgeon, which can be found in Russia’s rivers and seas. Its silver scales shimmer in the light, making it an impressive sight for any angler or nature enthusiast. The beluga sturgeon also stands out due to its unique shape and size. This species can reach up to 20 feet long! Other popular fish include carp, roach, perch, and pike – all common catches for fishermen throughout Russia.
When it comes to sheer size, however, nothing beats the enormous catfish found in Russian waters. These giants can measure up to 10 feet long and weigh as much as 200 pounds! Sturgeons are also known for their tremendous girth. They have been known to reach lengths of 15 feet while weighing over 1000 lbs! Taimen trout is another large game fish native to Russia. These huge trout can grow well over 4 feet in length with weights surpassing 50 lbs!
For those interested in freshwater fish within Russia, there are plenty available. Popular small-sized fish include chub, bream, barrel, and ide. On the larger side, you can see burbot, wels catfish, and zander.
