The capercaillie pretended to be a tree when meeting with a fireman in the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory

In the vicinity of Minusinsk, Krasnoyarsk Territory mOloda gLuhary tried to merge with the tree, noticing surveillance. For swallowing small pebbles, it became the deputy chief of the local forest fire station Maxim Dryukov.

Seeing a man, the bird instantly froze without movement.

“Realizing that he was declassified, the capercaillie hastened to retire, but without losing dignity. And then he flew away. To rise in the air, the feathered “Boeing” under 6 kilos of weight is needed 30 meters of meters. Here I had to start from a shorter distance. Thanks to the powerful legs that helped to push away, ”the press service of the regional forest-fire center said.

It is believed that the main part of the life of the capercaillie is spent alone – they are very careful and afraid of any sounds. In the spring, the males “dress up” into a wedding plumage in black, gray, brown and emerald tones. “Long before dawn, the capercaillie performs his mix consisting of“ tackia ”and“ turning ”. And loses hearing during the second part due to the special structure of the ear. Have you heard about a dull gross? This is he. Fasting females lure the grooms, squatting in curtains. Having fulfilled the song of love, the male is important from the chosen one to the chosen one, ”the experts say.

During the year, grouse constantly change their taste preferences: for example, in the summer they feed on berries and insects, eat the needles of pines in winter. Small pebbles – touring, stocks of which in the stomach of the birds make up for coarse foods are replenished from time to time.

Recall that the capercaillie is included in the Red Book of Russia and is recognized as vulnerable. Reduces its number to destroy traditional places of currents, one of the reasons for this is forest fires.
