What is russian wildlife like?

like if you go to england you'd expect foxes and deer etc


if you go to russian woods or forests what animals would be there?What is russian wildlife like?
Russia is huge, it depends on what the place we are talking about. It's easy to google it but I can tell you from my own experience (I lived in Pskov region, Northwestern part of Russia) what the animals I saw myself in the forests (I really like picking up mushrooms in the forest :)). Here we go: hares, red squirrels, hedgehogs, red foxes, owls, ordinary grouse, a black grouse, an elk, a wild boar, an otter, beavers, vipers I was told by my friends that there were wolves, lynxes and brown bears but I didn't see them myself. Let alone various species of lake and river fish you can catch without any licenses for free. Believe me, in comparison with what I saw in the rest of Europe it's what I call paradise. :)





P.S. Sesso, welcome to Pskov forests in Russia. :) You'll see everything yourself. As for the English foxes it's a real disaster here. I've seen them everywhere where I lived in England strolling free in the countryside and scavenging in the urban areas.What is russian wildlife like?
Dear friend,


Russian wild life is very wild and different in different places, since the country is huge. Even huge museums do not reflect Russian wildlife fully.


If you go to forest in Central or North-West parts of Russia, you can (better not!!!) meet boars, elks, deers, wolves, foxes, rabbits, bears, hedge hocks, snakes (some are poisonous, but quite short), wild bees, a lot of wild mosquitos :-) and many different birds. Maybe some other animals, too. Foxes, deers and rabbits often cross big highways :-)


In Eastern parts of Russia you can meet tigers and lynxes (they are found in many other places, too) as well.


It's in brief, of course. Russia is too huge and only specialists can give a full impression of Russian flora and fauna :-)


Thank you!
1. You would not see many foxes and deer in England. Certainly I've never seen a deer. Although there are plenty of squirrels.


2. You would not see much wildlife in Russia, but there are rabbits and wolves in the wild. In Siberia however there is much more wildlife.
Foxes , Deer , alot of rabbits, maybe even bears, little snakes, etc there are pretty much anything you can think off
white hairy animals.
