Bearish treat
Bears in the Kaliningrad Zoo are very fond of being treated to apples or carrots. In order to get a treat, bears are ready to stand on their hind legs and catch a piece of a flying apple.

Porcupine looking for a treat
Porcupine looking for a treat.
The porcupine is mainly a mountain animal that also lives in foothill plains, including cultivated ones, although it is occasionally found in sandy deserts. Settling among the rocks, the porcupine makes a lair in caves and natural depressions, in deserts-between stones; in softer soil, it digs holes that have a complex structure and are equipped with several exits. The porcupine burrow often exceeds 10 m in length, going underground up to 4 m. There are 2-3 extensions in the burrow; in one of them there is a green-lined nest. The porcupine is not particularly afraid of human proximity and often settles near villages.
The porcupine is almost exclusively nocturnal. He spends the day in a hole and comes out only after dark. the porcupine does not hibernate in winter, but in cold weather it is less active and less likely to leave the den. During the night, he can go several kilometers from his home. in the places of their transitions, porcupines leave well-marked trails. on such trails, an experienced tracker can easily find the porcupine's lair.
The porcupine feeds on plant food. In spring and summer, it eats green parts of plants, roots, bulbs and tubers. later, in the autumn, after the ripening of cultivated plants, it feeds mainly on their fruits — it eats watermelons, melons, cucumbers, pumpkins, grapes, alfalfa. In winter, it eats a lot of tree bark, gnawing on the lower parts of trees. Occasionally, apparently, to make up for the lack of salt in the body, he eats insects.
Cubs are born sighted and with developed teeth. Their needles are very soft at first, but harden very quickly and after a week are able to prick strongly. Milk feeding does not last very long — perhaps no more than two weeks.
As for the natural enemies of the porcupine, there are few of them-the quills give the porcupine excellent protection even from the tiger and leopard. When an enemy attacks, the porcupine first warns-quickly stomping its hind legs, shaking its needles, making a characteristic loud crack. If the enemy does not retreat, the porcupine stabs the pursuer with a quick short throw backwards.
Multiple wounds from porcupine quills are one of the main reasons for the appearance of cannibals among tigers and leopards in Africa and India. An animal that has run into a porcupine and received several dozen needles in its muzzle and paws cannot pull them out and becomes disabled, unable to hunt its usual prey — ungulates. In order not to die of starvation, predators can only attack people who, like ungulates, can not quickly escape from the beast that has lost its former mobility.
Because of this protection, the porcupine does not show fear of large animals. He does not give way even to the car, trying also to threaten him with needles — many porcupines die in this way under the wheels.

Big dog games
Big dogs play and frolic like puppies.
Cane corso italiano dog breed, one of the most ancient representatives of the molossus group, the first mention of which appeared in ancient times. The official ancestors are considered to be ancient Roman fighting dogs, used as baiting dogs-gladiators. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, the thread of history of this Roman molossus is interrupted until the beginning of the middle agesэ. During this time, molossians became widespread throughout Europe, as evidenced by numerous engravings and canvases.
During the Renaissance, cane Corso became an object of attention of artists and sculptors due to its steadfastness and fearlessness in battles with wild animals. In Italy, they can still say: "Brave as a Corso". Before the Second world war, the cane Corso protected farms, protected livestock, and helped drive the herd. Of course, they no longer hunted, but in the countryside there was always a use for their strong jaws. After the war, the cane Corso became a rare dog and the breed was on the verge of extinction. The revival of the breed was handled by Giovanni Nicolli, who sought out representatives of the breed and crossed them with each other.

Amur tiger wants to be friends
Amur tiger is one of the largest subspecies. The coat is thicker than that of tigers living in warm areas, and its color is lighter. The main coat color in winter is orange, and the belly is white.
This is the only subspecies of the tiger, whose representatives have a five-centimeter layer of fat on their belly, which protects them from the freezing wind at extremely low temperatures. The body is elongated, flexible, the head is rounded, the legs are short, the tail is long. The ears are very short, as it lives in a cold area. The Amur tiger distinguishes colors. At night, it sees five times better than a human.
The Amur tiger is traditionally considered the largest living member of the cat family. However, Bengal tigers that live in some national parks in India can now often be significantly larger than Amur tigers. Although, historically, these two subspecies of tigers were probably close in size, and the decrease in the size of Amur tigers is directly related to human activity.
The Amur tiger is the ruler of huge territories, the area of which is 300-500 km2 for the female and 600-800 km2 for the male. If there is enough food within its territory, the tiger does not leave its territory. When there is a lack of game, the number of tiger attacks on large livestock and dogs increases. The Amur tiger is active at night. Males lead a solitary life, while females are often found in groups. Tigers greet each other with special sounds that are formed when they forcefully exhale air through their nose and mouth. Signs of friendliness are also touching the muzzle, and even rubbing the sides.In nature, the tiger lives up to 15 years, in the zoo lives a little more than 20 years. The Amur tiger is listed In the red book of the International Union for conservation of nature. By 1940, there were about 40 Amur tigers left in the wild. Efforts to preserve this beautiful and powerful predator have led to the fact that according to the 2015 tiger census, 523-540 Amur tigers live in the far East. Now there are plans to resettle the tiger within its historical range, that is, to return it to the places where it once lived, but was later exterminated. Thus, the number of tigers can grow up to 750 individuals. However, this is only possible due to an intensive increase in the number of ungulates that form the basis of the tiger's diet.

Patagonian Mara feeds the young
The Patagonian Mara resembles a very large and well-fed Bunny, growing up to 1 meter in length with good nutrition. In the wild, they are very cautious and timid animals that avoid any contact with humans in every possible way. Once in captivity at a young age, the Patagonian Mara is easily tamed and even attached to its owner. The Patagonian Mara is also called the pampas or Patagonian hare.
Many native American tribes keep Mar as Pets. Patagonian Maras live in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil on the grassy plains of the pampas. The most numerous is the Argentine population. Animals settle in thickets of tall grass or near the forest outskirts, where they can easily find shelter from enemies.
Pumas, Grisons, and South American foxes are the biggest threats to the Patagonian Mar. Patagonian Maras have excellent vision and hearing. At the slightest danger, they run for their lives, resembling running deer and antelopes. On vacation, they can sit on their hind legs or roll on their sides like cats. In winter, animals are only active during the day. In other seasons, they can graze at night.
Their diet consists exclusively of plant foods. Their favorite treats are cereals, legumes, quinoa and fruits.
In natural conditions, the animals form monogamous married couples, but live in small colonies. Spouses remain faithful to each other until the death of one of the partners. Up to 30 married couples can live in one colony together with their offspring.
Mary breed in the period from August to January. The gestation period lasts about 100 days. Offspring are born most often before the start of the dry season. Within a few hours after their birth, they can run relatively briskly together with their parents and peers, and after a day they begin to try a little vegetable food. For the first three weeks of their life, babies spend most of their time in common burrows, and then they start grazing with the entire herd.
They become fully independent in 2.5-3 months.

Bear and man
A bear living next to a person accepts the conditions of the game imposed by people. The bear, noticing that his tricks are paid for with a treat, willingly demonstrates them to people. So the bear trained people that if he stood on his hind legs, people throw him a treat, and a great nose allows you to determine whether the bear is near solvent people.
In the past, the brown bear was common throughout Europe, including England and Ireland, in the South its range reached North-West Africa, and in the East it reached Japan. It probably came to North America about 40,000 years ago from Asia, across the Bering isthmus, and spread widely in the Western part of the continent from Alaska to Northern Mexico.
Now the brown bear has disappeared in most of its range; in other areas it is small in number. In Western Europe, it has fragmented populations in the Pyrenees, Cantabrian mountains, Alps, and Apennines. It is quite common in Scandinavia and Finland, found in the forests of Central Europe and the Carpathians. In Finland, it is a national animal.
In Asia, it is distributed from Palestine, Northern Iraq and Iran to Northern China and the Korean Peninsula. In Japan, it is found on the island of Hokkaido. In North America; it is abundant in Alaska, Western Canada, and there are limited populations in the northwestern United States. The brown bear is omnivorous, but its diet is 3/4 vegetable: berries, acorns, nuts, roots, tubers, and grass stalks. In the years of poor berry harvest in the Northern regions, bears visit oat crops, and in the southern regions — corn crops; in the far East, they feed in the cedar forests in the fall. Its diet also includes insects (ants, butterflies), worms, lizards, frogs, rodents (mice, marmots, ground squirrels, chipmunks) and fish. In summer, insects and their larvae sometimes make up 1/3 of the bear's diet. Although predation is not an approximate strategy of brown bears, they also prey on ungulates-ROE deer, fallow deer, elk, deer, and caribou (most often this happens in early spring, after the bear comes out of hibernation, when there is still very little plant food). Grizzlies sometimes attack wolves and baribal bears, and in the far East, brown bears can sometimes hunt Himalayan bears and tigers. The brown bear loves honey, eats carrion, and uses its size advantage to take prey from other predators such as wolves, Cougars, and tigers. Seasonal food items are fish during spawning (passing salmon), in early spring — rhizomes, in summer — butterflies that hide in the mountains among the stones from the summer heat. When the fish is just beginning to arrive for spawning, the bears eat the whole fish caught, then start eating only the fattest parts — the skin, head, caviar and milk. Seasonal cyclicity of life is pronounced. By winter, the bear builds up subcutaneous fat (up to 180 kg) and in the fall lies in the den. Dens are located in a dry place, in most cases in holes under the protection of a windfall or under the upturned roots of trees. Less often, bears dig shelter in the ground or occupy caves and rock crevices. Bears have their favorite wintering grounds, where they gather from year to year from the whole district. In different regions, winter sleep lasts from 75 to 195 days. Depending on climatic conditions, bears are kept in dens from October-November to March-April, 5-6 months. Bears and cubs live the longest in dens, and old males live the least. In the South of the range, where the winter is not snowy, bears do not hibernate at all, but also accumulate fat reserves, since in these places the amount of food decreases in winter. During the wintering period, the bear loses up to 80 kg of fat. Despite its clumsy appearance, the brown bear can run fast — at speeds of up to 50 km / h, swims excellently and climbs trees well when young. With one blow of the paw, a Mature bear can break the back of a wild boar, deer or elk. Meeting a brown bear can be deadly

Cute baby orangutan playing with a piece of wood
Cute baby orangutan is so similar to a child that you want to take it with you, adopt it and give it an education.
A cute baby orangutan plays with a piece of wood so directly that it reminds me of my son at the age of two. Probably there is no one in the world more like the children of people than the babies of orangutans. The fun of a cute baby orangutan can be watched for many hours, energy and ingenuity in inventing tricks can only be envied.
According to some sources, the orangutan is considered the most intelligent animal after humans. Orangutans live only in the rain forests of the Islands of Kalimantan and Sumatra. Almost all their lives they spend on trees, on which they move with the help of very long arms (their span-up to 2 m-significantly exceeds the growth of a monkey), helping themselves with their feet. Interestingly, orangutans are so adapted to life in trees that they usually drink water from leaves, hollows, or just lick it off their fur after the rain. When, in rare cases, orangutans do descend to the ground, they move on all four limbs. At night, orangutans build nests for sleeping, usually a new one each time.
Orangutans live alone, only the cubs are kept with their mothers and occasionally there are groups of two females. Females generally are to periodically meet with each other peacefully and can work together to feed. The males remain on their own territory and do not like strangers. When meeting, the first demonstration of strength occurs: loud growling, breaking branches, and so on. If no one retreats, seeing the superiority of the opponent, a fight occurs, which usually ends with one of the wrestlers giving up and running away. But in General, the nature of orangutans is quite peaceful.

Colobus monkey eating breakfast
Colobus are unique animals among monkeys, they are four-fingered, there is no thumb on their hand, this can be seen when the colobus in the video picks up a cabbage in its paw. The name of the monkeys "colobus" comes from the Greek word meaning "disfigured". Colobuses, despite this, perfectly move through trees using their four fingers as hooks, they are very good jumpers and can change direction right in flight. They are also not afraid to jump from a height of 8-10 meters to lower trees.
