The European Bison
Cactus camel fir-tree pine daffodil passenger pigeon
Description:
The European bison is similar in
appearance to its North American
relative. Although smaller in size, it has
the characteristic thickset body shape
with a short neck and a pronounced
shoulder hump. There is a longer mane of
hair underneath the neck and also on the
forehead. The dense coat is dark to
golden brown in colour.
Size:
A typical European bison is about 2.1 to
3.5 m (7 to 10 ft) long, not counting a
tail of 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in)
long, and 1.6 to 2 m (5 to 7 ft) tall.
Weight:
Weight typically can range from 300 to
920 kg (660 to 2,000 lb), with an
occasional big bull to 1,000 kg (2,200 lb)
or more

Habitat
The European bison
inhabits mixed and
deciduous
forests, with
undergrowth and open
spaces
Food
European bison feed
predominantly on
grasses although they
will also browse on
shoots and leaves.
European bison need

Cactus camel fir-tree pine daffodil passenger pigeon
Interesting facts
The European bison is the heaviest
surviving wild land animal in Europe.
Extremely large ones may weigh as
much as 1,400 kilograms.
The bison is active throughout the
day, though the distribution of
activity is affected by food supply.
Over a 24 hour period, an average
of 30% of the time is spent
feeding, 60% resting, and 10%
moving and/or playing. Although
movements are generally slow, short
gallops are rarely observed.
Despite their size, they can jump
across 3 m / 10 feet wide streams
and 2 m / 6 foot tall fences from a
standing position.

10. • red ant Earthworm frog European bison lynx beetle beaver birch poplar
panther crocodile willow seaweed eucalyptus lion snail perch
Cactus camel fir-tree pine daffodil passenger pigeon
Food
Beavers are herbivores, and
prefer the wood of quaking
aspen, cottonwood, willow, alder,
birch, maple and cherry trees.
They also eat
sedges, pondweed, and water
lilies.
Average life span in the wild:
Up to 24 years
Habitat
Beavers burrow in the banks of
rivers and lakes. But they also
transform less suitable habitats
by building dams. Domelike beaver
homes, called lodges, are also
constructed of branches and mud.
They are often strategically
located in the middle of ponds and
can only be reached by
underwater entrances.

11. • red ant Earthworm frog European bison lynx beetle beaver birch poplar
panther crocodile willow seaweed eucalyptus lion snail perch
Interesting facts
Cactus camel fir-tree pine daffodil passenger pigeon
Beavers are famously busy, and they turn
their talents to reengineering the landscape
as few other animals can. They are known for
building dams, canals, and lodges (homes).
Their colonies create one or more dams to
provide still, deep water to protect against
predators, and to float food and building
material.
They are known for their alarm signal: when
startled or frightened, a swimming beaver will
rapidly dive while forcefully slapping the water
with its broad tail, audible over great
distances above and below water. This serves
as a warning to beavers in the area. Once a
beaver has sounded the alarm, nearby beavers
will dive and may not reemerge for some time.
Beavers are slow on land, but are good
swimmers, and can stay under water for as
long as 15 minutes.
They can swim at speeds of up to five miles
(eight kilometers) an hour.

The Roe deer is the smallest and the most
widespread from all European deer. It is The Roe Deer
widespread in Western Europe, from the
Mediterranean to Scandinavia, and from the
British Isles to the Caucasus.
It is relatively small, reddish and grey-
brown, and well-adapted to cold environments.
The weight of a big male is about 27 kg. It has
rather short, erect antlers and a reddish body
with a grey face. Its hide is golden red in
summer, darkening to brown or even black in
winter, with lighter undersides and a white rump
patch; the tail is very short and barely visible.
The Roe Deer is primarily crepuscular, or
primarily active during the twilight, very quick
and graceful, lives in woods although it may
venture into grasslands and sparse forests. It
feeds mainly on grass, leaves, berries and young
shoots. It particularly likes very young, tender
grass with a high moisture content, i.e., grass
that has received rain the day before.

The Grey Crane
Cactus camel fir-tree pine daffodil passenger pigeon
Cranes are large, long-legged and long-
necked birds. Unlike the similar-looking
but unrelated herons, cranes fly with
necks outstretched, not pulled back.
Most have elaborate and noisy courting
displays or "dances". There are 15
species worldwide and 1 species which
occurs in Belarus. The grey crane is a
medium-sized crane species. Males are
about 115 cm long, have a wing span of
180-200 cm and weigh about 5-6 kg.
Females are slightly smaller.
The plumage is mainly grey with a cloak
of loose feathers falling over tail. The
head is darker grey with a red cap on
top, the upper neck marked by a white
band from the eye to the upper back.
The flight feathers are black.

The Woodpecker
Woodpeckers live in forests or
woodland habitats. They possess
predominantly white,black and
brown, green and red plumage and
exhibit patches of red and yellow
on their heads and bellies. They
have strong bills for drilling and
drumming on trees and long sticky
tongues for extracting food. They
eat mainly insects and their grubs
taken from living and dead
trees, and other arthropods, along
with fruit from live trees, nuts and
sap both from live trees. Their role
ecologically is thereby keeping trees
healthy by keeping them from
suffering mass infestations.

The Oak
The oak is any of a large variety of trees or
Cactus camel fir-tree pine daffodil passenger pigeon
shrubs that bear acorns. There are more than
600 species of oaks. Nearly all of them grow
naturally in the Northern Hemisphere only.
Oaks vary in size and the way they
grow. Some oaks never become taller than
shrubs. Other reach height of more than 30
metres.
Oaks grow slowly and usually do not bear
acorns until they are about 20 years old. But
these trees live a long time. Most oaks live
for 200 to 400 years.
Oaks are an important source of
timber. Oak wood is heavy, hard and strong
and it has a beautiful grain. Manufactures use
it for furniture, barrels, boats, and railway
sleepers. Acorns are an important source of
food for wildlife. In some countries pigs and
poultry are fed on acorns. Cortex Quercus is
used as medicine for diarrhoea, pulmonary
tuberculosis, women’ s diseases, and
eczema, for strengthening teeth and gaggling a
throat.

Birch is the name of a group of about 40
The Birch
Cactus camel fir-tree pine daffodil passenger pigeon
slender trees and shrubs that grow in parts of
Europe, northern Asia and North America.
They have a thin bark that peels in horizontal
layers. Some birches have bark that
separates into sheets almost like paper.
Birches produce long catkins,which contain
tiny flowers.
Their leaves grow alternately on the
twig, and are generally bright green, turning
yellow in autumn. The birch is a tall, graceful
tree with delicate branches. The slender
trunk of the birch has thin peeling bark.
Silver birch grows in the country where I live.
Silver birch is a graceful Old World species.
It is easily recognized by its
papery, peeling, black-and-white bark and the
ragged base to the trunk. The brunches of
the silver birch usually droop at the tips Silver
birch grows mainly on sandy and gravelly soils.
In Belarus the sap from a variety of silver
birch called weeping birch is used in spring to
make syrup.

Cranberry
Cactus camel fir-tree pine daffodil passenger pigeon
Cranberries are low, creeping shrubs or vines up
to 2 metres (7 ft) long and 5 to 20 centimetres
(2 to 8 in) high; they have slender, wiry stems
that are not thickly woody and have small
evergreen leaves. The flowers are dark
pink, with very distinct reflexed petals, leaving
the style and stamens fully exposed and pointing
forward. They are pollinated by bees. The fruit
is a berry that is larger than the leaves of the
plant; it is initially white, but turns a deep red
when fully ripe. It is edible, with an acidic taste
that can overwhelm its sweetness.
They can be found in acidic bogs throughout the
cooler regions of the northern hemisphere.
Most cranberries are processed into products
such as juice, sauce, jam, and sweetened dried
cranberries
Since the early 21st century within the global
functional food industry, raw cranberries have
been marketed as a "superfruit" due to their
nutrient content and antioxidant qualities.

Cactus camel fir-tree pine daffodil passenger pigeon
Basis of its food are hares, various birds, rodents and also
young wild boars and elks. Hunting on deep snow and an ice
crust, the lynx overcomes large adult animals. It also
catches martens. It always kills foxes even when there is
no special necessity but it tries to avoid the sites mastered
by wolves: a wolf for a lynx is the same dangerous enemy
as a lynx for a fox.
The lynx conducts
mainly settled way of
life, but during hard
frosts with deep snow
when becomes not only
cold, but also very
hungry, it is started
up in long trips. And a

At a meeting lynx execute greeting ritual. They sniff each other at
noses, they rise opposite and start to butt foreheads so strongly
that the bone sound is distributed.
Lynx has a solitary lifestyle. A pet lynx attacks rarely. Relation to
the person is rather strange. In the forest, it always avoids
people, but at the same time it sometimes carelessly, even brazenly
comes into populated areas, breaks into the fold, in the
barnyard, hunts dogs.

Why are they endangered?
Because of pollution the Earth is going
through global warming which the polar
bears cannot live in. They will overheat
and die and the ice is melting which
causes the polar bears to drown.
There are only 935 left in Manitoba.
How can we help save the polar bears?
We can take care of the Earth instead of
polluting it.
We can protest against pollution.
At the Assiniboine Zoo in

Yew is a small to medium sized evergreen tree
with an average height of 10-20 meters and with
an astounding maximum age ,estimated to be
2000-4000 years . It is now on the verge of
extinction because of the fact that it has very
delicate seeds , which often can’t survive in harsh
climatic conditions prevailing in the high
northern mountains of Pakistan ,which is their
land of growth . Secondly due to heavy rainfall
, the tree top usually breaks , causing the water
to penetrate through and cause decay . Lastly the
overgrazing by local herds of goat is also causing
a great harm.
USES : 1)Used in medicines for cancer
treatment.
