Who has horns longer than the tail of the logician. Strange and rare animals (61 photos)

Deer are a group of artiodactyl animals belonging to the deer family of the same name. In total there are about 25 species of deer. Their closest relatives are roe deer, moose and muntjacs, and very distant ... giraffes.

Red deer (Cervus elaphus).

Deer are large animals, the size of different species can vary from 55 cm at the withers and a weight of 10-15 kg for a water deer to 155 cm in height and weight over 300 kg for red deer. All types of deer have a graceful body, thin, slender legs, a long neck and a relatively small head crowned with antlers. Deer antlers have a specific branched shape, the number of lateral processes is at least three and can increase depending on the age and type of deer. The shape of the horns also depends on the type of animal. Horns formed bone tissue(unlike the horns of bovids, in which they consist of horny substance) and are discarded annually. Only males wear antlers, with the exception of reindeer, in which both sexes have antlers.

The female deer are hornless.

The tail of deer is relatively short, in some species it can be fluffy and straighten out like a flower. All types of deer have a protective coloration, often brown (reindeer are gray), often there are white or yellowish spots on the body (for example, spotted deer, axis and fallow deer). Many species of deer are characterized by the so-called "mirror" spot of white fur on the animal's rump. It performs a signaling function because it is clearly visible during the run: so the deer does not lose sight of the mother in dense thickets, and other deer are warned of the danger in time, seeing the flickering croup of a fellow deer.

Deer usually move in jumps.

The distribution range of deer is very wide - they are found throughout the northern hemisphere: in Europe, Asia and North America. Almost all types of deer are forest dwellers, except for the reindeer that lives in the tundra. Different species inhabit various types of forest: mountainous, flat, dry woodlands or marshy swamps. Basically, these are sedentary animals, adhering to a certain area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe forest, and only species living in the north can make winter migrations in search of food places. Regular migrations are characteristic of reindeer: in summer, these animals go north to the shores of the Northern Arctic Ocean to be saved from the vexing vile; by winter, they return south to the border of the taiga, where they are not strong winds and frost. In summer, deer live in herds of 3-5 individuals, only males and females are kept separately during the birth of offspring.

By winter, herds of deer are enlarged and can include up to 30-50 individuals.

The nature of these animals is rather secretive and shy, although where they are fed, they quickly get used to the human neighborhood.

Deer eat a variety of plant food- branches of trees and shrubs, herbs, various fruits (acorns, chestnuts, nuts, fruits), sometimes they eat lichens, berries and mushrooms. Reindeer eat mainly tundra lichens (moss moss), which is why their diet is very low in protein. To fill the need for protein food, they are forced to gnaw on discarded horns, bones, and even eat bird eggs. All deer love to lick salt, for this they visit salt licks - special places where the soil is rich in mineral salts.

The deer eats the needles.

Deer breed once a year. In northern species, the rut occurs in August-October, deer living in the south breed all year round. Usually silent, deer during the rut are transformed.

The male deer roars loudly, his cry is carried through the forest for a kilometer.

For their vocal exercises, males choose permanent place where they trample the ground with their hooves and break branches. In general, during the breeding season, deer are very warlike - they break bushes with their horns, peel off the bark on trees, and when they meet with an opponent, they engage in battle. Deer fights are by no means arbitrary.

The mating duel of deer.

Rivals do not disperse until they find out who is stronger, and the stronger one does not give mercy to the weak (unless he takes flight), deer often cause serious injuries to each other - they break horns, inflict deep wounds, and deaths are known.

In addition to butting, deer can fight with an opponent with their front legs, rearing up.

The male winner collects a harem of 3-10 females. After the end of the rut, the males shed their antlers, and new ones grow back by the next season. Deer pregnancy lasts an average of 6-7 months. Usually the female gives birth to 1, less often 2-3 fawns. Although the deer can stand on their legs from the first hours of their lives, they prefer to lie down in a secluded place for the first week.

All deer species have variegated coloration (except reindeer), which perfectly camouflages them in the forest.

The female feeds the cubs with milk for 3-5 months, but the young stay with their mother all autumn and winter until the next spring.

The female brought the deer into the herd.

Deer become sexually mature in the third year of life, but due to high competition with old animals, they begin to mate only at the age of 4-5 years. Deer live up to 20 years, but in nature they die at the age of 10-12.

In nature, deer have many enemies: in different parts range they can be hunted by wolves, lynxes, bears, cougars, leopards, tigers. Snowy winters greatly affect the number of deer. The fact is that it is difficult for deer to get food from under deep snow, and high snow cover makes it very difficult to move in the forest. As a result, deer weakened by starvation become easy prey for predators. Some exception is reindeer, which is well adapted to movement in the snow and is perfectly able to dig up reindeer moss in the snow.

Deer have always been a favorite prey of man, hunting them was considered the lot of the aristocracy. Despite this, the populations of many species of deer are perfectly preserved. This is facilitated by both the high fertility of these animals and special measures for their resettlement. In places where deer are protected, they are not afraid of humans and often visit roadsides, campsites and the outskirts of small towns. Some species of deer have become rare due to the destruction of natural habitats. For example, the David deer has completely disappeared in nature and the population of this species is maintained by breeding in zoos.

Relatively large, relative to other types of insectivores, the beast: its length is 32 centimeters, and the tail, on average, 25 cm, the weight of the animal is about 1 kilogram, the physique is dense.


MANED WOLF. Dwells in South America. The long legs of the wolf are the result of evolution in matters of adaptation to the habitat, they help the animal overcome obstacles in the form of tall grass growing on the plains.


AFRICAN CIVETA- the only representative of the same genus. These animals live in Africa in open spaces with high grass from Senegal to Somalia, southern Namibia and eastern South Africa. The dimensions of the animal can visually increase quite strongly when the civet raises its hair when excited. And her fur is thick and long, especially on the back closer to the tail. The paws, muzzle and end of the tail are absolutely black, most of the body is spotty-striped.


MUSKRAT. The animal is quite famous, thanks to its sonorous name. It's just a good photo.


PROEKHIDNA. This miracle of nature usually weighs up to 10 kg, although larger specimens have also been noted. By the way, the length of the body of the prochidna reaches 77 cm, and this is not counting their cute five to seven centimeter tail. Any description of this animal is based on comparison with the echidna: the paws of the echidna are higher, the claws are more powerful. Another feature of the appearance of the prochidna is the spurs on hind legs ah males and five-fingered hind limbs and three-fingered forelimbs.


CAPIBARA. Semi-aquatic mammal, the largest of modern rodents. It is the only representative of the capybara family (Hydrochoeridae). There is a dwarf variety of Hydrochoerus isthmius, sometimes considered as a separate species (small capybara).


SEA CUCUMBER. Holothuria. sea ​​pods, sea ​​cucumbers(Holothuroidea), a class of invertebrates of the echinoderm type. Species eaten are common name"trepang".


PANGOLIN. This post just couldn't do without it.


HELL VAMPIRE. Mollusk. Despite its obvious similarity with the octopus and squid, scientists have identified this mollusk in a separate order Vampyromorphida (Latin), because as soon as it has retractable sensitive bee-shaped filaments.


AARDVARK. In Africa, these mammals are called aardvark, which means "earth pig" in Russian. In fact, the aardvark appearance very strongly resembles a pig, only with an elongated muzzle. The ears of this amazing animal are very similar in structure to those of a hare. There is also a muscular tail, which is very similar to the tail of such an animal as a kangaroo.

JAPANESE GIANT SALAMANDRA. To date, this is the largest amphibian that can reach 160 cm in length, weigh up to 180 kg and can live up to 150 years, although the officially registered maximum age of a giant salamander is 55 years.


BEARDED PIG. In different sources, the bearded pig species is divided into two or three subspecies. These are the curly-haired bearded pig (Sus barbatus oi), which lives on the Malay Peninsula and the island of Sumatra, the Bornean bearded pig (Sus barbatus barbatus) and the Palawan bearded pig, which, judging by the name, live on the islands of Borneo and Palawan, as well as in Java , Kalimantan and the small islands of the Indonesian archipelago in South-East Asia.




SUMATRAN RHINO. They belong to the equine-hoofed animals of the rhinoceros family. This species of rhinoceros is the smallest of the entire family. The body length of an adult Sumatran rhinoceros can reach 200 - 280 cm, and the height at the withers can vary from 100 to 150 cm. Such rhinos can weigh up to 1000 kg.


SULAWESI BEAR CUSCOUS. An arboreal marsupial living in the upper tier of lowland tropical forests. The coat of the bear couscous consists of a soft undercoat and coarse guard hairs. Color ranges from gray to brown, with a lighter belly and limbs, and varies by geographic subspecies and age of the animal. The prehensile, hairless tail is about half the length of the animal and acts as a fifth limb, which makes it easier to move through the dense rainforest. Bear couscous is the most primitive of all couscous, retaining primitive tooth growth and skull features.


GALAGO. Its large fluffy tail is clearly comparable to that of a squirrel. And the charming muzzle and graceful movements, flexibility and insinuation, clearly reflect his feline trait. The amazing jumping ability, mobility, strength and incredible agility of this animal clearly show its nature as a funny cat and elusive squirrel. Of course, it would be where to use their talents, because a cramped cage is very poorly suited for this. But, if you give this little animal a little freedom and sometimes allow him to walk around the apartment, then all his quirks and talents will come true. Many even compare it to a kangaroo.


WOMBAT. Without a photograph of a wombat, it is generally impossible to talk about strange and rare animals.


AMAZONIAN DOLPHIN. Is the largest river dolphin. Inia geoffrensis, as scientists call it, reaches 2.5 meters in length and weighs 2 centners. Light gray juveniles lighten with age.

The moonfish has thicker skin. It is elastic, and its surface is covered with small bony protrusions. Fish larvae of this species and juveniles swim in the usual way. adults big fish swim on their side, quietly moving their fins. They seem to lie on the surface of the water, where they are very easy to notice and catch. However, many experts believe that only sick fish swim in this way. As an argument, they cite the fact that the stomach of fish caught on the surface is usually empty.


TASMANIAN DEVIL. Being the largest of modern predatory marsupials, this animal is black in color with white spots on the chest and rump, with a huge mouth and sharp teeth, has a dense physique and severe disposition, for which, in fact, it was called the devil. Emitting ominous cries at night, massive and clumsy Tasmanian devil superficially resembles little bear: front legs slightly longer than the hind legs, big head, the muzzle is blunted.


LORI. Feature lori - big size eyes, which may be bordered by dark circles, between the eyes there is a white dividing strip. The muzzle of a lory can be compared to a clown mask. This most likely explains the name of the animal: Loeris means "clown" in translation.


GAVIAL. Of course, one of the representatives of the detachment of crocodiles. With age, the muzzle of the gharial becomes even narrower and longer. Due to the fact that the gharial feeds on fish, its teeth are long and sharp, located with a slight inclination for the convenience of eating.

But what was their surprise when, a year later, they managed to get a whole skin and two skulls of an unknown animal, and find that It looks more like a pygmy giraffe of the times ice age. Only in 1909 was it possible to catch a live specimen of Okapi.
