Animals of my region that are in danger of extinction. What animal species are disappearing?

Almost 100 races and species of animals in Romania, especially within the country, are on the verge of extinction. Among the 100 are 52 breeds of chickens, 13 sheep, two goats and 19 fish, as well as Romanian buffalo, mink, dihor, polar fox and arginites. Coconuts are one of the oldest families of birds and undoubtedly one of the best and noblest of winged birds. They have a long body with very long, elegant legs and necks. They are similar to storks, but they are larger and have a shorter beak. The cormorant family includes 15 species, distributed on all continents, with the exception of Antarctica and South America.

Some species are among the world's most endangered birds, and nearly all are vulnerable to habitat destruction. Delicate and pretentious birds, cranes live only in swamps, in quiet and open places, where a person does not feel his presence. Many species are migratory. There are two types of tubers in Romania: the common cock and the lesser cock, also called "cock". Common coconut nests are in the Danube Delta, and small ones are only in transit through our country during migration along the Asia-Africa route.

Coconuts are known and loved for their exciting and graceful ballet moves. Birds nod, hop from one foot to the other with their wings wide open, or throw falling feathers or grass into the air. Basically, dancing plays a courtship role, but it is also a socialization mechanism. The movements are accompanied by certain vocalizations. So, when the cow begins to “waltz,” all the birds in the group catch up “on the hill.” This is the perfect show, but it is very difficult to see live, as Cocoa is shy and introverted.

In Asian cultures, and not only, cocoons are a symbol of long life, loneliness in love and marriage, because they create couples for life, and both partners love each other very much. Roosters are day-old birds that live in groups and do not require food at all. All cocoons are omnivores and, depending on their beak anatomy, their diet may vary slightly: shorter cocoons, the black-crowned rooster, for example, feed on insects, aquatic animals and seeds and herbs; longer putters, such as Australian keshes, are better able to explore ponds and lakes and then feed primarily on aquatic animals.

It would be very difficult for them to get seeds from the ground. This is another reason why caches are so dependent on wet environments and are therefore susceptible to habitat destruction. American rooster. This is one of two types of worms in North America and America's tallest bird.

Here they nest and spend the summer, raise their chicks, and in the winter they migrate to the southern United States, to the golf area of ​​Texas and Florida. In fact, Florida has a sporadic resident population. These birds are very tall and relatively heavy compared to other cages, measuring 1.5 m in height and 2.3 m in wings. Juveniles are brown.

The chicks, after they have separated from their parents, choose their territory somewhere around them. The name "Sandhill" comes from the area of ​​Nebraska near the Platte River where these birds migrate in very large numbers. This is the second species of American spiderweb, this time uncertainly extinct, with hundreds of thousands of specimens living in the wild.

The plumage is full of gray, of varying nuances, and in some subpopulations that are bathed in iron-rich soil, it takes on an ocher, brownish hue. The forehead is red, the cheeks are white and the sharp beak is black. As with all cow species, there is no sexual dimorphism, but in a pair the male is larger than the female.

Most of them live in swamps, swamps and meadows, and sometimes flow into farmland. Common rooster or Eurasian rooster. Along with Demosea cocorus, they are the only cormorant species that also touches European territory, and one of the few cormorant species not threatened with extinction. The growing area is vast in Northern Europe and throughout Northern Asia. Winter migrates to North Africa.

It has gray plumage with different tones, and the upper part of the neck and head is black. There are two white stripes on the sides of the neck, and a red spot adorns the head. Black crown with crown. This is one of the most beautiful views Cranes and one of the most spectacular birds in the world. Along with the gray crown, they are the only species of coca that nests and sleeps in trees. It lives in sub-Saharan Africa, both in the west of the continent, especially in the East, where a larger population is found. In the west, he lives in Senegal, Nigeria, Gambia, Chad and in southern Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya.

This is a small crane, only 1 meter in height and weighing 3-4 kg. It is believed to best suit the ancestor of all cranes. The penis is dark gray close to black, with white feathers on the wings. The cheeks are devoid of feathers, and the skin is colored red and white. The most treasured decoration of the faucet is the golden yellow crown.

Gray rooster with a crown. It differs from previous species in several characteristics: the neck and generally the rest of the feathers are light gray, the cheek patches are white with one red stripe above, the eyes are light gray, the goulash is better developed, and the geographical distribution is more south of the Black Rooster. The hoary cocoon lives in the southern part of the African continent, from Uganda, Kenya and Congo to South Africa. Both crown-crutches are sessile birds, rarely migrating locally in search of better food sources.

Pennies are gray in different shades, the wings are white with black and brown peaks, and some also have golden delicate feathers. Both crown species are vulnerable to extinction. The most serious threat is the live animal trade, as well as the loss of wet habitat.

Blue rooster. It is distinguished by its blue to gray sky and especially the feathery wing feathers that form a trailer behind the bird. They are often confused as tail feathers, but they come from the wings. The head is large and the throat is thick. It has a height of 115 cm and weighs 5 kg.

It has the narrowest habitat of any coconut species and lives only in South Africa. Little cock or death cock. This is the smallest of all the caches, but the second most abundant, as several people. It has a refined appearance, with pale gray plumage with a long train, and the head, neck and chest are black. The feathers on the throat sit in a beautiful “scarf”. From the eyes to the back of the head begins a white, fine downy line, such as genes. The eyes are brown. 1 meter and weight 2-3 kg.

It is one of the few species that likes drier habitats such as savannas and steppes, but can be found near water. The geographical distribution is enormous, from the Black Sea basin to central and southern Asia. Winter migrates to Africa and India respectively.

Bearded beast. It is the largest African crane and the second largest of all species. The name comes from some of the red formations on the head, like beads, and some twisted beads hanging near the neck. The body, feathers and head crown are grey, while the rest of the face and neck are white. Like the previous two African species, they have a long train. It measures 175 cm in height and weighs 7 kg.

The most large groups populations live in Botswana, Zambia and Ethiopia, but can also be seen in other Central African countries. Unfortunately, their number is decreasing. Siberian rooster or white rooster. Another critically endangered species, the white cocoon makes the longest migration of all.

The body is painted white, with the only spot of color being the red mask. He measures 140 cm and weighs 6 kg. Cocoon with a white slide. He recognizes two rounds of red skin around the eyes and especially after the white head and neck, in contrast to the gray body. The front of the neck is grey. The limbs are pink and very long.

It lives in northeastern China, Mongolia and Russia, and in winter migrates to the Yangtze River basin, as well as to the demilitarized zone between the two Koreas. Japanese rooster. He is also one of the most beautiful and enthusiastic, their dances are a real show. There are currently two populations: one resident on the island of Hokkaido in Japan rather than migratory, and the other living in northeastern Russia and China, migrating to Korea and southern China in winter. These taps prefer water much deeper than other types and are more dependent on aquatic environment a habitat.

The penis is spotless white and the wings are black. Black is also found on the neck and cheek. The crown is red and continues with a white patch that fades into the neck. It measures 155 cm in height and weighs 7-10 kg. Crank with black neck. This is the only alpine crane in the world. Winter falls at lower altitudes or shelters in the more secluded valleys of India, China and Bhutan.

This is a medium-sized cocoon, 130 cm in height and 5.5 kg. The head, neck and legs are black, and the rest of the body is grey. The head has a red patch and a small white patch behind its eyes. It is the tallest of all cranes, but also the tallest flying bird in the world. Males reach a height of 180 cm and weigh almost 6 kilograms. He lives in Pakistan, India, Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia and even Northern Australia. They only migrate relatively short distances, instead feeding as they go and walking several miles every day.

They are recognizable as a piece of rough and red skin that extends over the head and neck. The crest of the head is gray, and the eyepiece of the ears is marked by a tuft of feathers of the same color. The rest of the body is light gray. In some cases, the red ribbon is fused with black hair.

Hooded with hood. This is a small species of cormorant, weighing 1 meter and weighing 3.5 kg, living in the south-east of Russia and Mongolia, and in winter it is transferred en masse to Japan, as well as to South Korea and China. The body is grey, its neck and head are white, and its crest is marked by a red plume of featherless skin but with black hair.

Australian rooster or Brolga. He is a resident of the Australian continent and New Guinea. It is more common in northern Australia, where there are between 000 and 000 specimens. It does not migrate, but travels to the center of the continent in search of good habitat. Southern settlements is in danger of extinction.
