PECAN TREE

Pecan Tree

Pecan trees are usually found in deep rich

soil. The tree’s wood is reddish-brown.

Pecan nuts were the Indian's favorite nut

from trees. The largest pecan tree is in

Franklin County and is 111 inches for the

circumference of the tree, and 115 feet

tall.

MAGNOLIA TREE

Magnolia Tree

This tree was seen over 20,000,000 years

ago. Southern Magnolia Trees can grow up to

at least 90 feet. The Japanese Magnolia has

bright pink flowers and the Butterfly

Japanese Magnolia has creamy yellow

flowers.

MOCKING BIRD

Mocking Bird

They are medium size songbird with a long

tail. Mocking birds have small heads and

long thin bills. Their colors are gray- brown

and are paler on the breast and belly. The

Northern Mocking bird likes to show that it

is present. The northern live in towns,

suburbs, backyards, parks, open land,

forest edges, and low elevations.

SAGO PALM TREE

Sago Palm tree

The sago palm, which is a member of the

cycad family can take up to 50 years to reach

maturity giving others time to enjoy its

tropical landscape or as a houseplant. The

male sago palm has a large yellow cone in the

middle and the female reproduces structure

contains bright orange seeds. The Sago Palm

Tree is native to tropical Southern Japan, but

is found in the Southern United States in

Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, and

in Puerto Rico. The Sago palm tree is

recognized by its feathery dark green leaves

that curl up on the sides. Its trunk is often

invisible, since this very slow-glowing plant

takes a lot of years to reach maturity.

TEXAS LONGHORN

The Texas Longhorn is a type of cattle

known for their horns, which can reach to

120 inches tip to tip range. Horns can have a

little upward turn in their tips or even triple

twists. The longhorn was the first cattle that

stepped in North America. And also it was

the only cattle that grew up without any

human management.

FERAL HOG

Feral Hog

A feral hog is simply any free-ranging

pig that is surviving on its own in the

wild without human ownership. Colors

or actions are not important; it is still a

type of pig or boar. Any loose hog in the

wild is bad news to wildlife and habitat

resources. Feral Hogs are very strong and

destructive; they are from Texas and

have taken a liking to their natural

habitat. They are mostly in Texas or

Virginia.

Features of Tatarstan Tatarstan is located in the Eastern part

of the East European Plain at the

confluence of the Volga and the Kama.

The relief of the territory is plain and

wavy. The climate of the Tatarstan is

moderate, continental, with a short

warm and sometimes hot summers and

moderately cold winters. Climate and

relief have a great influence on the

features of the fauna and flora of the

Republic of Tatarstan.

Nature, animals and plants are the

wealth of our country. And we have the

red book of the Republic of Tatarstan,

in which we register of animals and

plants, which are already on the verge

of extinction. Let's preserve the nature

and take care of her!

Thanks for watching, I hope you

enjoyed it.
