My sister-in-law picked some wild strawberries about a month ago, when she came here from Moscow for her holidays. Then she hang a bunch of strawberries on a sea-buckthorn tree growing near our house and asked me to photograph it.
This photograph of green blossoming meadow was made the day before yesterday:
This owlet was photographed in midsummer last year somewhere around a village in the nearest forest. The owlet seemed to be not afraid of the photographer at all. It kept sitting in its nest as if people were not present.
Amur tigers are grand predators inhabiting Russian and Chinese Far East. They are not endangered species anymore, but are still very rare. Poachers are the main enemies of the Amur tiger.
These great and beautiful Far Eastern cats are much bigger than those living in India – Bengal tigers, and less aggressive to people.
There is a rare animal in Central Asia known as «snow leopard» or «irbis». It also may be found in Tibet, Southern Siberia and Eastern Kazakhstan. It is a kind of big wild cat living in Asian rocky mountains.
Snow leopards are predators living on wild sheep, goats, hares and even yaks, if they find a stray one without its herd.
Usually snow leopards don’t behave themselves agressively to people, unless being wounded. These animals should be saved from extinction in order to preserve natural balance between herbivores and flora. And it is a beautiful animal by itself.
Snow leopard’s skin is very expensive, that is why there was time when the animal was close to extinction. Maybe, the fact that they prefer to live high up in the mountainous areas that are difficult of access helped them stay alive.
