Animals of the Red Book of the Krasnoyarsk Territory are amazing endangered species!

The fauna of our country is very rich and diverse. Unfortunately, people in the pursuit of money lose their heads and exterminate rare specimens of the fauna. Disappearing species of animals are brought into the Red Book. This book was not ignored by the fauna of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

Paradise

The Krasnoyarsk Territory is very cunningly located. He got a little from each climate, so the nature there is interesting and unique. Central Siberian plateau, low valleys, the Yenisei River; The region is washed by the Laptev Sea and the Kara Sea. Krasnoyarsk Territory is rich in minerals, wood, rare vegetation. There is no shortage of water, but rather an overabundance. Several large rivers, more than 300 lakes, many of them therapeutic. There is everything for life, and resources are almost inexhaustible!

Danger and threat

Animals of the Red Book of the Krasnoyarsk Territory are a special, important issue. According to official data, 25 species of mammals and 89 birds, as well as 18 species of insects, are threatened with extinction. This information is 2012, there is no way to update the data. Due to the shortage of scientists and employees, sometimes the counting of species is carried out only with the words of hunters. Compilers of the book have to believe the word to experienced local residents, because the territory of the region is so vast that it is simply impossible to bypass each corner!

The fact that rare animals of the Krasnoyarsk Territory disappear, is associated with the negative and destructive influence of man on nature, mainly poaching. Greed or lack of money pushes people to such crimes. Deer, sturgeon, roe deer, ibex, snow leopards, ermine - all of them are susceptible to extinction from the face of the earth. How to save their population? Just to strengthen the protection of reserves is not enough. It is also impossible to put kindness and care for the fauna in the heart of everyone. The red book is like a red traffic light! She asks to stop and stop killing animals.

Irbis - snow leopard

This graceful animal - the snow leopard - was under threat. According to zoologists, these animals of the Red Book of the Krasnoyarsk Territory live in the number of 65 individuals. Just a tiny amount of majestic, graceful animals amazes. This is due to the shooting of their poachers and the gradual disappearance of Siberian goats - their main meal.

Red Wolf

Mountain dogs, or red wolves, are very rare animals. They practically disappeared; Only according to the information of Old Believer hunters it is known that they still exist. Such a handsome wolf externally differs from his usual bright color. The tail is slightly longer than that of the gray fellow, the fur is fluffy, dense. Such handsome people become an object of hunting for looters and poachers. Red wolves are dangerous predators, they eat any living creature, from lizard to deer.

Red wolves are endangered animals of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Scientists admit the fact that their disappearance from the planet is associated with the vagaries of nature, or the gray wolves are to blame for everything. The cruel treatment of man and nature also affects the disappearance of the population of these animals.

Capricorn, or Siberian goat

This proud handsome man is very rarely seen on the slopes of the mountains in the south side of the region. Like the red wolves, they almost disappeared from the face of the earth. Capricorns avoid flat pastures - mountain slopes are more familiar and safe for them. Predators destroyed large herds of Siberian goats. Outwardly they resemble a domestic goat, but weigh a little more, have a brown thick wool and long straight horns. They are harmless, they eat lichens, grasses, moss. Their sense of smell and hearing are very developed. Hunting them is not so easy. Capricorns are nimble and nimble, especially if they are in a well-studied area. For predators, ibex is a delicious treat. Therefore, they can spend several weeks just to track down a herd of Siberian goats!

Roe

Cute animal with beautiful sad eyes. Their sadness is understandable, because these animals of the Red Book of the Krasnoyarsk Territory can be counted on their fingers. A few years ago, the statistics reported that in the province there are 400 individuals. But every year their number decreases.

Because of buildings and economic activities of man their habitat has narrowed. This greatly influenced their population. Of course, poachers do not sleep.

The roe deer is a small deer, but most of all it resembles a goat. These are graceful, graceful animals with a muzzle of blunt form and a short tail. In winter, the poor people practically starve, chew branches, dig dry grass and acorns from under the snow. But in the summer they have a real feast: mushrooms, berries, juicy grass. In the warm season, they live in small groups - families, but in the winter they get into the herds of 30-35 heads. The reasons for the reduction of this species are the same as in other animals - poaching and shrinking space.

Maral

Very diverse animals of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, listed in the Red Book. Among them there is a maral. It is a family of noble deer. They are a fairly large subspecies. Males have beautiful branched horns. The weight of an adult reaches 300 kg.

They live in herds, where the main is the old female, the rest are her offspring. Winter for these animals is not the best time of the year. In addition to hunger, it is also very difficult for them to move around in the snow. Therefore, they are constantly moving in search of low-snow places. In summer they eat mushrooms, berries, herbs, bark of trees, young shoots of needles. Adult individuals often gnaw the soil, supplying the necessary minerals to their bodies. In the wild, marals do not live more than 14 years, but in captivity can live and all 30.

Velvet branched horns of deer and their blood are of great value in medicine. Therefore, hunting for them does not stop either in winter or in the summer.

If people do not stop enriching themselves at the expense of these artiodactyls, such animals of the Red Book of the Krasnoyarsk Territory will disappear forever.

Many more species of animals are under threat of extinction. How to protect them from this terrible end, until no one came up. Poachers do not frighten thousand penalties and even colonies. Everyone must learn to cherish what Mother Nature gives us. Then resources and livestock on the Earth will not be exterminated completely!

All animals of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, listed in the Red Book, are interesting in their own way and are needed on the planet. It is necessary to prevent their extinction and create all conditions for reproduction.
