The problem, however, was that the old park was too small to support further population increases. Always , Siberian tigers and leopards need large areas to hunt for food. This larger park, with a connection to Russia's wildlife reserves across the border, should give these species the natural space they need to live in.

caterpillars,spiders and butterflies.
Some people don’t like spiders,but I have a great affection for them.
How do you feel about about BioBlitz?
In my opinion, BioBlitz is both fun and meaningful. It gives people an opportunity to get close to living things in nature and study them so that因此;以便 they can be better protected.
I don’t really like BioBlitz. The animals and insects are living a peaceful life there and they should not be disturbed. I don’t think the participants in the video are showing enough respect for them.
