BASHKIR Reserve The Bashkir Nature Reserve is located among the mountains and endless forests of the Southern Urals. In the 18th century, this area was covered with beautiful forests with colorful flowering meadows. People living in this territory cut down and burned forests, killed animals, trampled fields, and already at the beginning of the 20th century there was a real danger of complete destruction of natural ecosystems. The Bashkir Nature Reserve was created in 1930; in 1951, it was liquidated, and predatory destruction of the forest began. Only 7 years later the Bashkir Nature Reserve was restored. Its area is almost 50 thousand hectares.




Hawk Owl It is of medium size, has a small round head, an incomplete facial disc, relatively small eyes, long sharp wings, a long sharply stepped tail, densely feathered tarsus and toes. The total length of the hawk owl is cm, with a wingspan of 7080 cm, wing length cm, weight g. A sedentary bird, associated in distribution with woody vegetation, mainly coniferous. The hawk owl's food consists primarily of rodents (lemmings and other voles). The owl also attacks birds, white partridges and various passerines. The hawk owl is a diurnal bird; it hunts during daylight hours, especially early in the morning or in the evening.


Deer beetle The largest stag beetle. It is black, the upper jaws and elytra are chestnut-brown in the male and black in the female. The length of the female is mm, the length of the male without the upper jaws is mm, and with them up to 75 mm. He lives in the south of the forest zone and in the forest-steppe, mostly in oak forests. It feeds on sap from wounds on oak trunks.


Boar Wild pig, the most widespread species. Lives in a wide variety of places from dark coniferous taiga to tropical forests and deserts. In the mountains it can be found in all zones, up to and including alpine meadows. In Europe, it especially loves oak and beech forests, alternating with glades, meadows and swamps. In the Caucasus, especially in autumn, it lives in fruit forests, and in the mountains of Central Asia and Kazakhstan it is more often found in spruce and deciduous forests, but also prefers walnut and fruit groves. Often found in bushy valleys of mountain rivers. In the Far East, the wild boar lives in both cedar and mixed forests. Everywhere, especially in the mountains, it wanders depending on the harvest of certain feeds.


Burial ground The total length of the burial ground is 7284 cm, wing length is 5465 cm, weight is about 3 kg. The burial ground inhabits forest-steppes, areas of woody vegetation in the steppe, semi-deserts and in some places even deserts (Central Asia). The burial ground is found on the plains and in the lower mountain belt. The Imperial Eagle's nests are located in trees, rarely along cliffs. The Imperial Eagle's main food is small mammals, especially ground squirrels, sometimes it attacks hares, and does not neglect mouse-like rodents (voles, etc.). In addition, the Imperial Eagle feeds on birds, especially young ones, and also eats carrion.


Kutora swims and dives willingly and with great skill, for which it received the name - water kutora. It feeds on earthworms, insects, aquatic invertebrates and, apparently, small vertebrate young of small rodents, frogs, tadpoles, and small fish. The mass of food eaten per day by the shrew somewhat exceeds the mass of the animal itself. A shrew can starve longer (it dies from hunger only on the third day).


Elk The largest modern deer. Adult males have a body length of up to 300 cm, a height at the withers of up to 235 cm and a weight of up to kg. Moose inhabit a wide variety of forests, willow thickets along the banks of steppe rivers and lakes, and in the forest-tundra they stay in birch and aspen forests. Both in the steppe and in the tundra they are found in the summer and far from the forest, sometimes hundreds of kilometers away.


Golden Eagle This is a large bird with long and relatively narrow wings, a slightly rounded tail; the feathers on the back of the head are narrow and pointed; the paws are very powerful, with strong claws and a tarsus feathered down to the toes. The dimensions of the golden eagle are as follows: total length 8095 cm, wing length 60 72.5 cm, weight 36.5 kg. Female golden eagles are noticeably larger than males. The golden eagle is a sedentary bird, with the exception of the northeast of Siberia (Yakutia), where it is migratory. Young eagles roam quite widely. The golden eagle nests in forests, mountains, and also in deserts. The golden eagle's food is varied: animals include hares, gophers, marmots, young ungulates (deer, in particular reindeer, roe deer), also foxes, martens; birds the size of wood grouse and geese. In addition, the golden eagle willingly feeds on carrion. Sometimes the golden eagle also feeds on small animals (mice, voles).


Capercaillie This is a large, clumsy and timid bird. Its gait is fast; when searching for food, it often runs on the ground. The capercaillie rises heavily from the ground, loudly flapping its wings and making a lot of noise. The flight is heavy, noisy, almost straight and short unless absolutely necessary. The capercaillie usually flies just above the forest or at the height of half a tree;


Tawny Owl Birds of medium and large (for owls) size, with a total length of 30 to 70 cm, gray or reddish with mottled colors. Tawny owls have a relatively large and round head. They are forest birds that are primarily nocturnal. They feed on prey caught on the ground; the main diet consists of rodents; they also hunt small and medium-sized birds.


Buzzard A medium-sized bird: total length 4552 cm, wing length 3743.5 cm, weight g. Builds a nest from twigs and usually decorates it with green branches and leaves Buzzards feed mainly on insects, especially the larvae of social hymenoptera (wasps, bumblebees). Sitting on a tree or flying slowly, the honey beetle watches for insects, notices the nest, approaches it and tears it apart with its paws. Additional food for the honey buzzard includes other insects, large caterpillars and beetles, as well as frogs, lizards, snakes, small birds and rodents.


Tap dance A very small bird, about the size of a siskin. Its weight ranges from 10 to 15 g. It usually flies in dense flocks with a continuous chirp, sounding like a repeated “chiv-chiv-chiv” or “chi-chi-chi-chi-chi.” It nests in the bush tundra among thickets of dwarf birch and willow, in the taiga in small swampy clearings. For the winter, tap dancers migrate or fly away to the south, going beyond the nesting area to the southern regions of Europe and Asia. In late autumn and winter they appear in the middle parts of our country, enlivening the edges of forests and gardens.


Roe deer Roe deer is a small deer of light and graceful build with a relatively short body. Roe deer feed on herbaceous and tree-shrub vegetation. In spring and early summer they love cereals, onions, lilies, sleep grass, lungwort, primrose, etc. In summer, umbelliferae, legumes, ranunculaceae, and Asteraceae are of great importance in the diet of roe deer. He loves aquatic plants, such as the watch, for which he comes to swamps and lakes.


MUSKRAT The largest of the voles. The weight of adult individuals can reach almost 2 kg, although usually about 1.5 kg. Active at dusk and in the dark, as well as early in the morning, spends the day in a shelter. Constructs burrows in the banks with an underwater entrance. On low, swampy shores or islands, it constructs huts up to a meter high from the stems of aquatic plants (reed, sedge, cattail). The exit from the hut also leads directly into the water and is not visible from the outside. The muskrat feeds on aquatic or semi-aquatic vegetation; sometimes eats small invertebrates.




Spindle copperhead has a long spindle-shaped body. Lives in deciduous and mixed forests, also found in bushes, meadows, fields and gardens, but usually not far from the forest. In the Caucasus, the spindle rises quite high into the mountains, penetrating in places into areas of subalpine meadows at the upper forest edges. It hides in rotten stumps, under fallen tree trunks, in piles of dead wood, in the thickness of the forest floor, under stones and in anthills. Spindles feed on earthworms, land mollusks, insect larvae, centipedes and other slow-moving animals, since they can keep up with more mobile prey unable.


Snakes are especially numerous along the banks of calm rivers, lakes, ponds, grass swamps, in damp forests and floodplain meadows covered with shrubs, but are sometimes found even in the open steppe and in the mountains. Snakes feed on small frogs, toads and their young. Occasionally, their prey includes lizards, small birds and their chicks, as well as small mammals, including newborn cubs of water rats and muskrats. Young snakes often catch insects.


Taimen. Taimen can reach 1.5 m and weigh more than 60 kg. Taimen is very widespread; it can be caught in all Siberian rivers, up to the Indigirka. It is found both in the Amur basin and in large lakes (Norilskoye, Lake Zaisan, Teletskoye and Baikal.) Taimen never goes to sea, prefers fast, mountain and taiga rivers and clean cold-water lakes. It spawns in May in small channels. This large and beautiful fish is a desirable catch for the amateur fisherman.


Grayling The size of the grayling does not exceed 50 cm, the weight is usually 0.51 kg, but there was a case of catching a specimen in 4675. Graylings, in general, are predatory fish, but in small rivers where they usually live, food supplies for them are limited . Therefore, they feed mainly on small bottom animals, fish eggs, and insects falling into the water (which is what sport fishing for grayling with a fly is based on). Large fish can swallow rodents and shrews crossing the river.

A reserve is a territory where a natural complex is preserved in its natural state and is completely excluded from economic activity. There are three reserves in Bashkortostan: Shulgan-Tash Reserve Bashkir State Reserve South Ural State Nature Reserve The total area of ​​the reserves in Bashkortostan alone is 327.1 thousand hectares. This is approximately 40% of the area of ​​all specially protected natural areas. The most favorable conditions for the protection and scientific study of the forests of Bashkortostan have been created in the state reserves of the republic. These reserves are of not only republican, but also all-Russian and even global significance. It should be especially noted that our reserves are geographically located at the junction of 2 parts of the world: Europe and Asia, and therefore they have very interesting floristic and faunal complexes..

Yamantau Yamantau (Bashk. Yaman tau - “bad (evil) mountain”) is a mountain range in Bashkortostan. It stretches to the northwest, width - 3 km, length - 5 km. The main peaks are Big Yamantau (1640 m) and Small Yamantau (1510 m). The summit of "Big Yamantau" is the highest point of the Southern Urals. It is located on the territory of the South Ural Nature Reserve, located in the Beloretsky district of Bashkortostan. Bashkirs often put practical meaning into the names of geographical objects. The name “evil mountain” probably came into use because the slopes of the mountain range were swampy and littered with kurum, which did not allow livestock to graze. There are also beliefs among local Bashkirs that horses died during a trip to this mountain, and there were many bears on the slopes of the mountain.

The waterfall is very old. The mountain where the Atysh waterfall is located is composed of limestones 570 million years old. The waters of the Aguy and Atysh rivers pierced the limestone in the upper part of the mountain and passed down to the southern slope of the mountain, constituting the main bank of the river valley of the Lemeza River. Currently, Atysh Waterfall is one of the most popular places for connoisseurs of Bashkir natural beauty. As a result, a very unsightly environmental situation has developed around the waterfall. Heaps of garbage are visible everywhere, including in front of the waterfall itself.
