Otter - a large animal with an elongated flexible body streamlined. Body length - 55-95 cm, tail - 26-55 cm, weight - 6-10 kg. Legs short, with swimming membranes. The tail is muscular, not fluffy. fur color: dark brown top, bottom bright silver. The guard hair is coarse, but very dense underfur and tender. woolly cover density can reach 51 thousand per 1 cm2 [2]. Such a high density of undercoat makes the fur completely impermeable to water and perfectly insulates the animal's body, protecting it from hypothermia. Build otters adapted for swimming under water: flat head, short legs, a long tail. Distribution [edit | edit wiki text]The most common representative of the subfamily of otters. It occurs over a wide area, covering almost all of Europe (except the Netherlands and Switzerland), Asia (except the Arabian Peninsula) and North Africa. In Russia, it found everywhere, including in the Far North in the Magadan region, Chukotka. Lifestyle and nutrition [edit | edit wiki text]Otter frei.jpgOtter leads a semi-aquatic lifestyle, floating fine diving and extracting their food in water. Otter may remain underwater for up to 2 minutes. [3] She inhabits mostly in forest rivers, rich in fish, at least - in lakes and ponds. It is found on the coast. He prefers river with a whirlpool, a winter ice-rapids, with podmytuyu water windbreak cluttered beaches, where many safe shelter and places to burrow device. Sometimes it suits their lairs in caves, or like nests in the bushes near the water. Inlets her holes opened under water. Hunting grounds constitute one otter summer long section of the river from 2 to 18 km and about 100 meters deep into the coastal area. In winter, when the depletion of fish stocks and the freezing of polynyas she is forced to wander, sometimes crossing the straight high watersheds. At the same time with the otter slopes down, slipping down on his belly, leaving a distinctive mark in the form of a trough. On ice and snow, it takes a day to 15-20 km. Otter feeds mainly on fish (carp, pike, trout, roach, goby), with smaller fish prefers. In winter eats frogs, quite regularly - caddis larvae. In the summer, except for fish, catches water voles and other rodents; sometimes systematically hunts for ducks and waders. Social structure and reproduction [edit | edit wiki text]Otters - solitary animals. Mating, depending on the climatic conditions in spring (March - April), or most of the year, such as in England. Otters mate in water. Pregnancy - a latent period, reaching up to 270 days; he gestation period of only 63 days. The brood usually 2-4 cubs blind. Cubs otters are called pups. Sexual maturity at Otters comes on the second or third year of life. Economic significance [edit | edit wiki text]Otter is very beautiful and durable. His fur wear in the case taken as 100%. During processing, the plucking and rough spine remains short, dense, soft underfur. Fur coats from fur of otters are one of the most durable and wear - can be worn up to thirty seasons, especially if the sea otter. One of the most valuable species of otter fur, which is highly valued, living in Alaska. In some areas of Bangladesh otters used as hunting animals - they drive the fish into fishermen's nets (the adults hold on long leather leashes and young floats freely - he still does not float away from their parents). The status of the population and protection [citation needed | edit wiki text]Hunting and the use of pesticides in agriculture have reduced the number of otters. In 2000, common otter was added to the Red List of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) as "vulnerable» (vulnerable) species. Kind is brought in the Red book of the Sverdlovsk region [4], Saratov and Rostov regions.
Dear Robert, I'm very glad to hear something new from you. You ask me about my school. Well, my school is large and light. There are two floors in it. There is a gym, a library, a canteen and a few classrooms on the ground floor. There are many classrooms and a teachers’ room оn the first and on the second floors. Our classrooms are very large and light. There are twelve desks, a teacher’s table, a blackboard and many flowers in our classrooms. My favourite subjects are English and Chemistry. My school life is wonderful. There are lots of concerts, performances and sport competitions in our school. My classmates and I often take part in different school events. I have a lot of friends in my class. Our teachers are kind and intelligent and my classmates are smart and friendly. Tell me a few words about you and your school and friends. Have you joined any sport club? Do you like your teachers? That's all for me for today. I have to go to the swimming pool. Best regards to your family. Write soon. Nika
Дорогой Роберт, Я очень рада твоему письму. Ты спрашиваешь меня о моей школе. Ну, моя школа большая и светлая. В ней два этажа. На первом этаже тренажерный зал, библиотека, столовая и несколько кабинетов. На первом и на втором этажах много классных комнат и учительская. Наши классные комнаты очень большие и светлые. В каждом классе двенадцать парт, учительский стол, доска и много цветов. Мои любимые уроки-английский и химия. Моя школьная жизнь прекрасна. У нас много концертов, спектаклей и спортивных соревнований в нашей школе. Мои одноклассники и я часто принимаем участие в разных школьных мероприятиях. У меня много друзей в моем классе. Наши учителя добрые и умные, и мои одноклассники умные и дружелюбные. Напиши несколько слов о себе и своей школе и друзьях. Ты уже вступил в какой-нибудь спортивный клуб? Тебе нравятся твои учителя?
