The pupils guided by the Biology teacher have done projects about migratory birds and wild animals found in Romania. Some of the species discussed include pelicans, which arrive in March and leave in autumn; storks, which fly south for winter and return each spring to the same nest; and turtles doves, nightingales, swans, lynx, chamois, brown bears, and wolves. Information was provided on characteristics, habitats, and populations of these animals found in Romania.

2. BIRDS AND WILD ANIMALS
FROM ROMANIA

3. The pupils guided by the Biology teacher have done projects about the
environment, about the migratory birds that come to our country and
about the wild animals living in this area.

4. PELICANS
 They arrive in Romania in early March and leave in autumn to the Nile
Delta, Bay area or coast region of Asia.
 In our country there live 2 species of pelicans in the Danube Delta:
 The common pelican
 The curly pelican

5. STORK
In autumn the European storks fly in
flocks towards south, in Africa.
In spring they come back to the same
nest which was abandoned six months
ago.
They build their nests on the house roofs
or churches towers.

6. TURTLE DOVE
The turtle dove with collar is a bird belonging
to the pigeons family.
NIGHTINGALE
The nightingale is a bird somehow forgotten nowadays, but much
cherished over time for its melodious voice. Dressed in a modest
plumage, this small flying bird has always been regarded as a
symbol of romance.

7. SWAN

In Romania there are several species:
– Summer swan
– Winter swan
– Small swan
– Black swan

8. LYNX
The lynx is one of the fastest cat in the world.
In winter the lynx changes fur which thickens to withstand
cold winter.
CHAMOIS
The chamois is the queen of high
and rocky hills in Romania.
Because of its special abilities to
climb we can see it where we do
not think there could ever get a
trace of wild animals.

9. BROWN BEAR
The brown bear lives along the Carpathian
Mountains, especially among the rocks, where they
can create lair. In December 2010, in Romania there
were 6,000 brown bears, meaning 40% of those in
the EU.
WOLF

The wolf is the most
widespread species of
mammals living today.
In the mountains of
Transylvania wolves still
live in large numbers, which
gave rise to many legends
about men-wolves. In
Romania there is a long
tradition regarding wolf
watched in fear and awe.
