Each climatic zone has its own features and characteristics, so the flora and fauna of his specific.The study of flora and fauna helps to understand the relationship of weather and vital processes and to better understand the principles of the existence of organisms on Earth.For example, a strip of subtropical, which gave shelter to a variety of creatures.What are its distinguishing features?Characteristics of the region
sclerophyllous forests cover substantially all areas where the climate can be described as humid subtropics.Animals adapt to live in a moderately warm climate with rainy winters, hot summers and short-lived snow cover.Average rainfall in these regions is about six milliliters per year.These features lead to the fact that the animals that live in humid subtropics, seasonality and get used to exist according to natural cycles.Hot summers and cool wet winters associated with activity in spring and autumn when the best moments come with the perfect combination of temperature and humidity.
Features fauna
Animals humid subtropical most widely represented ungulates.In mountainous Mediterranean regions meet sheep and mouflon.The sclerophyllous forests can be found deer, small cats and predators civet family - and ichneumon genet.On the territory of the Balkan Peninsula, the Pyrenees and the mountains of Morocco live bears.On the diversity of fauna affected by climate variations, which are located in the zones flanking the humid subtropics.Pets intermediate zone coincide with the representatives of some types of temperate areas, and in others - with tropical specimens.For example, you can find a lot of animals that feed on seeds - protein, wood mice, hamsters.From the tropics to the local edge climb monkeys, chameleons, porcupines.Diverse world of reptiles - there are also turtles and geckos, and snakes, and lizards.Birds are represented vultures, goldfinches, hawks, finches, tits and blackbirds live in the deep bush larks.
subtropics Russia
presents a climate zone and on the territory of the Russian Federation.It is something similar to the Mediterranean or North African, and something much different from them.Animals that live in humid subtropics of Russia, namely the Black Sea coast, characterized by mixing species of temperate and tropical zones.For example, in the Caucasus mountains meets the maximum diversity.In the Far East it is more common wolverine, sable, chipmunks, spotted deer, martens, squirrels, grouse.Pets humid subtropics of Russia, photo of which are known to all - the Siberian tiger, a rare form shown only in this area.No less famous predators are leopards in the region.
Changes in the Russian nature
Animals humid subtropical Russia live in fairly good conditions.The climate of the Black Sea coast is mild and comfortable to stay.But there is a human factor that seriously change the situation with the fauna of the region.Thus, in the subtropics, home to many ungulates - elk, wild boar, roe deer, wild reindeer and saiga.Also, there are fur-bearing animals - foxes, arctic foxes, squirrels.All this attracts hunters, whose actions often are not certified and are harmful to the biodiversity of the Black Sea.Rare animals - bears and wolves - are suffering as a result of these activities, so the authorities the necessary protective measures.Endangered birds and those whose numbers decreased sharply in recent years, under the protection of the law, and sometimes find themselves in the Red Book.
civets
Some species of animals deserve special attention.For example, the civet - they are not at the hearing from a resident of the middle band and seem quite exotic, while others can be found in the subtropics around the world.This small creature resembling a cat or weasel.Like other animals humid subtropics, civets do not differ thick and long hair.They have small ears and large eyes, functional limbs with five fingers.Most often differ civets brown coloring.They can be found in Southern Europe, Africa, Asia and Madagascar.Meet the civet cat can be in the woods or tall shrubs.Animals well climb trees to feed on invertebrates and small animals, and sometimes eat vegetarian food.
Malay bear
worth mentioning these unusual animals that inhabit the humid subtropics.Animals of the region are more often than not too impressive size - is no exception, even a bear.Malayan variety of dimensions resembles a large dog.These bears are still known as biruang.They are the smallest and most aggressive, they are distinguished by long, awkward body with a broad snout and small eyes.Strong legs with long claws serve as a good weapon, like a long snout with a movable tongue, ideal for the production of honey or termites.Black fur supplemented orange muzzle and a spot on the chest, why these bears are also known as solar.They can be found in tropical and subtropical regions, regions with mountainous or swampy areas.It omnivores, which are the enemies of leopards and tigers.
Ussuri tiger
inhabit the humid subtropics animals can be both common and rare.For example, a Siberian tiger, also known as the Amur, and the Far East are found in the Primorsky region of Russia.This big cats, exceeding the size of lions.The weight of the tiger is two hundred kilograms and can reach a body length of four meters.This large cat moved absolutely silently.Wool tiger is different red color with black stripes on the chest and the belly is white.Travel animals alone, strictly controlling its territory.Their abode may be not only humid subtropics, which is full of wildlife production, but also taiga, where the excellent hunting skills are required.People do not like the Tigers and try to avoid settlements.Due to the small number of animals brought in the Red Book.At risk individuals appeared due to poachers and thoughtless deforestation.In China, for killing a tiger person is punished by death, and in Russia just fine.Perhaps that is why in the world there are only four hundred individuals, and the danger of extinction becomes greater every year.
Little Monkey
inhabits humid subtropics animals may be large like a tiger or deer, but most often they are fairly modest size.Some even record low, for example, common types in this climate zone monkeys.One of the tiny marmosets can be called from Latin America.Adult monkey species such weighs about one hundred grams, and the length of the body does not exceed twenty-three centimeters.They are small and marmosets.The body of fifteen centimeters in length and weight of one hundred and twenty grams provide them the name "pocket monkey."Sometimes, the baby can not be more than a human finger.Tamarins live in trees and can make jumps over a distance of several meters, eat tree sap that is extracted with sharp incisors.You can find them in the Amazon.It is worth mentioning talapoynov living in the forests of Gabon.This dwarf monkey weight in kilograms, capable of great swim and see underwater.They live in large groups in the territories of the pool.Let not the smallest compared with marmosets, they are markedly different in size from the other primates, common in the tropics or in the equatorial forest.
