A lot of different animals live there. Wolves are probably the best known, and are very well studied animals, so we have enough INFORM about their diet and behaviour.

The wolf is a good HUNT.

However, scientists were surprised to find out how EASY some animals can adapt to urban life. Some dogs have even learnt to use the city’s metro system!

Russia is a large country with great diversity in flora and fauna. There are several large NATION parks in Russia.

In some RUSSIA tales, the wolf is often represented as a clever animal that helps the main character, Ivan.

Others are just LUCKY pets that have been abandoned by their owners.

In Moscow, there are approximately 35,000 dogs living on the streets. Some of these HOME animals were born there.

They usually hunt wild animals like deer and hares, but sometimes they can attack sheep, goats, and cows. The wolf tries to avoid people and only goes into villages when he is REAL hungry.

For many dogs the city may be a DANGER place to live in.

The wolf is usually direct and CREATE and helps Ivan to cope with many difficult problems.

We still don't know how the dogs find out when to get off the train. One SUGGEST is that they use their excellent sense of smell to recognise the scents of their favourite destinations.

Another idea is that they are able to remember the design of FAME stations and find the station they need.
