1 Read these entries from a reference book. Find out how heavy the Russian sturgeon is.
Endangered Species In Russia
SAIGA ANTELOPE
The saiga lives on the steppes of the North-West Precaspian region of Russia. It has got a longer nose than other antelopes. It can run fast and it can swim well too. The saiga lives in open spaces. It travels from place to place in big groups. The saiga eats grass and other plants. The number of Saiga antelopes is falling because people hunt them for their horns. Today the saiga population is only 1500 and each year this number gets smaller.
STELLER SEA LION
The Steller sea lion lives in the north of the Pacific Ocean. It is the biggest sea lion in the world. Adult males are more than three metres long. They live for twenty years. Females are smaller than males but they live ten years longer. The Steller sea lion lives on land and in the sea. It likes cold water and it eats all kinds of fish. The number of Steller sea lions is falling because fishermen catch them by accident.
JAPANESE CRESTED IBIS
The Japanese, or crested, ibis lives in parts of Russia, Japan, Korea and China. It is a big white bird with long pink feathers. It lives near water or on high areas of land. It eats fish, frogs and insects. The Japanese crested ibis is nearly extinct. This is because farming chemicals destroyed most of its habitat.
RUSSIAN STURGEON
The Russian sturgeon lives in Russia, Azerbaijan, Georgia. Iran and a few other countries. It is a big fish. It can grow as long as two metres and it weighs more than a hundred kilos. The Russian sturgeon lives in salt water. It is an endangered species because people catch it for its meat and eggs. People make caviar from its eggs. They sell it to shops all around the world.
