I live in Russia. It's a very big country with a lot of climatic zones, so there are different kinds of flora and fauna in it. The most common plant that is associated with my country is a birch tree. These trees are very beautiful as they have white bark and long branches. They can grow tall. These trees grow nearly everywhere in central and southern parts of Russia. Other common plants are fir, pine, oak, poplar, aspen, and willow.
As for common animals, they are foxes, wolves, hares, squirrels and bears. They live in forests and sometimes in fields. For example, the taiga forest is home for the European elk, brown bears, reindeer, the lynx, the sable, and a variety of forest birds, such as owls and the nightingale. In the water there are different kinds of fish and in the north of the country we can find some mammals like seal, walrus and whale.
Our songbirds include blackbirds, nightingales, larks, orioles, starlings. Common waterbirds are ducks, swans, geese, gulls, shorebirds, coots, loons and others.
Some animals have become symbols of Russia and Russian cities and towns — the brightest example is the bear.
