Slide 7
Over the past 30 years, a little less than 280 species of vertebrates have been soaked in the park. Of these, 45 species are mammals, about 200 species are birds, of which the fact of nesting has been established for 139 species. Reptiles are represented by 4 species, amphibians - 8, fish - at least 19 species.
Slide 8
Elk (Alces alces) is the largest modern deer. Adult males have a body length of up to 300 cm, a height at the withers of up to 235 cm and a weight of up to 580-600 kg. Very large, wide and mobile ears. A soft leathery outgrowth hangs down under the throat - an “earring”, reaching 25-40 cm. The color of the elk is brownish-black. Legs from the middle of the lower leg and forearm downwards are light gray, almost white.
Slide 9

It is made of thick and long hair. The hairline of the muskrat is very thick, even, soft, silky, and does not get wet in healthy animals; above - brownish-brown, below - silver. The most protected species of mammals: The desman species is listed in the Red Book of Russia and in the international Red Book
slide 12
RED EVILLE (Nyctalus noctula) is one of the common inhabitants of deciduous forests and parks in Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia. It has become an important object in the study of seasonal migrations, thermoregulation, nutrition, echolocation and other features of biology.
slide 13
Ermine (Mustela erminea) is similar in general to the weasel, but is larger than it and is well distinguished by the black tip of the tail. Body length varies, from 16 to 38 cm, tail from 6 to 12 cm, weight up to 260 g, but usually less. Like the weasel, the ermine turns white in the winter and only the tip of the tail remains black.

The crest of the male newt is an additional respiratory organ and is especially rich in capillary vessels.
Elk Island
National Park "Losiny Ostrov" - the first in Russia, was created in 1983 on the territory that since ancient times served as a zealously guarded hunting grounds of the Grand Dukes and Tsars. The first forest inventory was carried out here in 1842, and the idea of creating a national park was put forward as early as 1909.
The park is located in the Moscow region and Moscow. The area is more than 12 thousand hectares, including 3 thousand hectares - within the administrative boundaries of the city.
Geographically, the park is confined to the junction of the Meshcherskaya lowland and the Klinsko-Dmitrovskaya ridge, which is the watershed of the Moscow and Klyazma rivers. The relief of the territory is a slightly undulating plain. The absolute heights of the area range from 146 (floodplain of the Yauza river) to 175 m above sea level (square 45 and 54 of the Yauza forest park). In the central part of the park there are gently sloping moraine ridges.
The history of this place is known from the documents of the XIV century, in particular, from the spiritual letters of the Russian princes - Ivan Kalita, Dimitry Donskoy, Vladimir Andreevich Serpukhovsky and their descendants. They mention arable lands, forests, boards, located on the territory of the current national park. Later, this area becomes a place of royal hunting, and the lands of the future "Elk Island" come under protection. During the Time of Troubles, economic activity in these places is sharply reduced, the former arable land is again overgrown with forest. The heyday of "Elk Island" as a hunting ground is associated with the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov.
With the transfer of the capital to St. Petersburg, the territory of "Elk Island" loses its significance as royal hunting grounds, but as state property it is protected by imperial decrees. Around the same time, the name "Elk Island" or "Moose Island" was finally assigned to the territory. In 1934, Losiny Ostrov was included in the 50-kilometer forest park zone of Moscow.
In 1979, by a joint decision of the Moscow City and Regional Councils of People's Deputies, the Losiny Ostrov Natural Park was organized, and in 1983, a national park was formed by a decision of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR.
Elk Island is a unique territory. Its uniqueness lies not in the fact that there are some special "super-remarkable" objects here, like the Grand Canyon or a free herd of elephants, but in the fact that on its territory, near the city of many millions, the nature of Central Russia in all its diversity has been preserved in its natural form: coniferous, birch and broad-leaved forests, areas of meadows and raised bogs, the sources of the Yauza with lakes and floodplains. Beavers, wild boars and elks, many birds of prey live ten kilometers from the Kremlin, and plants rare in the Moscow Region grow.
The "island" is also interesting for its historical and cultural sights. Archaeological research has revealed to us the mounds of the Vyatichi (XIvXII centuries), ancient settlements. Sensational were the excavations in Alekseevskaya grove, where the remains of a palace building of the late 17th century were discovered. And the history of the Mytishchi pumping station is closely connected with the construction of the first gravity water pipeline in Russia during the time of Catherine II. Once in these parts there was a chapel on the famous Thunder Spring, the most abundant source of water for the capital city. And the Belokamennaya station on the first Moscow circular railway is a rare monument of industrial architecture. On the Yaroslavl Highway (the former road to Troitsa), visitors to the park will be pointed to Poklonnaya Gora, a holy place for pilgrims.
The forests of Losiny Ostrov stretch for almost 10 km from south to north and 20 km from west to east. They occupy more than 80% of the park area. Birch forests occupied a dominant position, the number of linden and aspen forests increased. From the 19th century only a few old pines remained. Hazel, mountain ash, euonymus, honeysuckle, buckthorn grow in the undergrowth. Among the abundant herbaceous vegetation, one can see anemone, lungwort, chistyak, goose onion, corydalis ... There are also rare species that are subject to special protection.
More than 48 species of mammals live in the grounds of "Elk Island": elks, spotted deer, wild boars, foxes, hares, minks, ermines ... On the reservoirs you can see beaver dams, muskrat huts.
Almost 200 species of birds nest in the park or have been noted on migrations. Very rarely, but still, a black stork flies to Losiny Ostrov - a species listed in the Red Books of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Bean goose, gray and white-fronted geese and even a whooper swan stop to rest. And thousands of ducks of different species, flocks of herons, colonies of seagulls have become familiar here.
"Elk Island" is the only nesting place in the Moscow region for a feathered predator - a red-footed falcon. The goshawk, hobby falcon, buzzard, black kite, kestrel live freely here. In the meadows and swamps, you can hear the voices of the chariot, bittern, and corncrake. The tawny owl nests in the hollows of the lindens, and the long-eared owl nests in the undergrowth.
The sources of the Yauza and Pekhorka rivers are located on the territory of the park. The climate of the region is temperate continental. Fluctuations in the average annual temperature are 3-4.80. The coldest month is January (average temperature -90 - 110), the warmest - July (average temperature +190 +200). The prevailing winds are western and southwestern rhumbs.
The wild nature preserved inside the metropolis amazes our guests. One of them, an employee of the Pyrenees National Park, D. Tribault-Laspierre (France), even wrote a letter to the President of Russia: “I expected to see something like a large public garden adapted for the needs of citizens, in which you can from time to time admire the trees and However, in fact, this is a real protected area where wildlife has been preserved, a real national park... No major city in France and, as far as I know, in all of Europe, and, who knows, in the whole world, can boast of such a contrast" .
However, the value of "Elk Island" is not limited to its natural merits. The ancient land also has its deep historical and cultural roots.
In 1989, by order of the national park, the first archaeological expedition was organized, as a result of which ancient burial places of the Slavs-Vyatichi of the 9th-12th centuries were discovered. Historical and landscape studies, which are now carried out annually, have revealed barrows, settlements, and ancient roads.
Archaeological excavations in Alekseevskaya grove became sensational. The grove is the most beautiful place in the park: ship pines, mighty firs, ponds, the Pekhorka River. Thousands of Muscovites and residents of the Moscow region love to relax here. On the old maps, next to the ponds, a place called the Alekseevsky Palace was marked. And indeed, under a layer of soil, archaeologists found the remains of a palace building of the middle of the 17th century. - white stone masonry, stove tiles, unique tiles. There was an assumption that one of the travel palaces of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich was located in the Alekseevskaya Grove. Now it is planned to create a museum complex "Royal hunting in Rus'" at this place.

There are no large rivers and reservoirs in the national park and near it. But its territory is crossed by a rather dense network of small rivers, streams and hollows. It is here that the sources of the river are located. Yauza and its tributaries Ichka, Budaika, Elk, Nekhlyudov sleeve, Bogorodsky and Bath streams and the river. Pekhorka (a tributary of the Moscow River) with a number of small tributaries. In the eastern part of the park, a water canal built in the pre-war years crosses the park, supplying Volga water to the capital. Water from this canal also enters the Yauza and Pekhorka. There are several ponds in the park: Alekseevskiy, Golyanovskiy, Kazenny, Egerskiy and others. All these reservoirs are located in the recreational area of the park. In the depths of the forest, many bochags, created in the last century for firefighting purposes, have been preserved. Now they are of exceptional importance for animals as watering places and breeding grounds for amphibians. Swamps in the park occupy a fairly large area. Of particular value is the Verkhne-Yauza wetland complex with an area of about 1 thousand hectares. In addition to a vast array, there are a number of swamps of various sizes and origins (lowland, transitional, upland) and areas with constant and periodic waterlogging.
