when and how it became home to a herd of horses is unclear. because of its population of noble beasts more than he has since been called mustang island today it is part of europe's only nature reserve in the step. don't because mean hopes to be able to get close to the mustangs to see how these federal descendants of domesticated horses live in the wild. they carry our good luck and godspeed if you find as always this thank you for the right. yes they're good even when i find them i'll be sure to let you know ok. bye for now. man it's good below is one of europe's longest lakes with

a high concentration of salt it stretches all the way from the russian plane to the caucasus mountains as it runs through the cooma manage depression a natural border between europe and asia. there are no fresh water reservoirs rivers all springs on vavi island because of the salinity of the soil. consequently there are no trees or shrubs there either. the island is overgrown with low grass. some of time here is marked by scorching heat droughts and strong winds. the horses have a hard time surviving in such conditions because mean confirms. this here is the skull of an adult horse it belonged to a female it died from natural causes.

no trace of hooves is found in the sand the are no trails leading to the holes calms the soldier makes the lakes water undrinkable the horses can only survive on the island's hinterland where rain accumulates in small depressions in the earth. because means soon finds a narrow trail in the grass. offered you know this is a horse trail similar trails take horses to a watering place about said or even chill it's cruel in such trails the horses tread on them they don't trample no down. some one hundred fifty species of kulit are found in the wild this flower with a short stand and bright cup of a bud gave birth to the first cultivated varieties of chillax this is the wild schrenker. one see is the island's open spaces and low hills of the rest of nature

reserve flare up in a riot of color. people often our school mind it's you it's not so sure it's that's because the bulb of a chilly place deep underground is a depth of about seventy centimeters even imply once removed it it's under no threat at all. the wild kulit has always been a native plant of russia's steps in the past it was a symbol of vitality and fertility unlike the bulbs we may buy for our gardens these children start life a small seeds years will cost before the bugs emerge above ground will . take seventy years to come up and i think battles are the first to appear they look like the battles of the stealing and they don't loom until they're at least sixty years of age.

as one of the field of flowering plants the comfortable and open arid areas in geological terms the so-called managed depression is an almost ideal playing with small lakes two to three metres deep fish and weeds and not found in them because it's too salty. colonies of microscopic crayfish called growing shrimps lend the water it's reddish hue. they are common in salt water and the most likely to be only inhabitants. the horse trail on vavi island take stock because maine for what is now a small dried out lake. what makes the rust off reserve different is that this island is surrounded by a salt lake it's called managed good deal ok this is one of the lake space the water is very salty the horses don't drink such water.

as a seasoned explorer trails are not his only guide. i don't think of horses smell could be mistaken for anything else i would say that it is very distinctive that. they must be somewhere here nearby. and in. the free roaming mustangs on forty island are in total isolation locals have another theory as to how the horses came to lake manage could be loath in the old days robbers stole the whole says in neighboring villages and had them that to this day the horse is a still mistrustful of people. the

island is now closed to tourists and only researches can visit yet few have been able to approach the stallions let alone get inside the hood. they order for these are the horses we have spent ages looking for there are eight young cool it's nice free roaming horses are called mustangs. i can see the horses grouping together ready to head off at dawn tomorrow they will be much camera and then we will be able to take a look at life in a cyber herd. the.

look they're off into the sunset. from time immemorial horses help humans survive in these a steer regions nomads regarded this open space in europe south as a highway linking europe and asia. over the ages and many ethnic groups inhabited these pots including scythians. castles tattles and mon goals in the old days the horse was a status symbol only warriors and the elite could afford to keep such mounts.

a camel was the most common domesticated animal among ordinary folk. camels were used in every way possible. honest to carry loads in their way used for mace and wool. that were used to last. bopha staff of the rostov reserve and researchers from the biodiversity conservation center of come up with a project to keep what were once native animals in the step this small herd of camels graze during the day and return to an open pen for the night the camels like it here and are only too happy to give up the open wild and exchange for food and water. they have easily adapted to living in the step. one of the signs of healthy camels is upright rather than crumpled and drooping humps camels rapidly multiplied in this small herd on you they have

a hierarchy of. camels a base strong males some of the males are very aggressive they have to be removed from the herd to ensure the comfort of others this is especially important at a time when there are many young camels around we protect them from aggressive males but other was old and young alike co-exist peacefully. has mean has devoted his life to studying horses so much so that his friends and colleagues gave him the nickname old mustang. for quite some time and that the mayor has conducted research on his own this is because while horses dislike the presence of many people on the island. i mean lives a hermit's life all he needs in the step is mortar and packed meals he stays in

a dilapidated cabin for the night the island's only structure. we constantly observe the mustang's way of life where looking for opportunities to create isolated territories for them so they can feel themselves at home without being bothered by humans. culture is that so much as it was of course you write on it comes up you call it what you wish a major political tipping point for woodstock without music in respect of the

occupy wall street demonstrations continued. on. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the whole seem strange play at. least in chance a good chance to choose says it's a good book for example the status of the human experiments gets a little. weakness you will probably see this rap music awards it goes to the movies lately trying to make sense of global economy and its arcane slings us financial temples to the research family to maintain our confidence in markets and taking on wants to be seen trade imbalances with speeches close to collapsing in some time alone foreclosed homes. to fail circlet banks again feel level tightening is the us crash and imminent smash the ceiling seeing flames is like

plants are rich. and there is also a lot of juice here at this meets their water requirements. over the years on the island the herd behavior has become quite varied. typical of all free roaming animals it's up to the alpha male to decide where the herd goes at any particular moment. but even without a leader the horses follow their natural instincts and flock together as they move around the island. as soon as a small group of horses begins moving and the others gradually join in. for most of the year the mustangs live in a type of harming their authority to form as with cults in each of them each arima

has a leader king knows which one as a his mates and does his best to protect them against terrorism and stallions may kick up a fight even if one of them unintentionally trespasses on the territory of another family. and the mustangs on the island have no enemies wolves can't get here because it's too dangerous for them to swim even feathered predators never nest here they prefer other islands. migrating birds fly over lake managed below on one of the monkeys to fly policy in

eurasia. the lake is now a protected area found sums of mortal fowl nest on the lakes small islands preparation the island is home to the largest colony. a rigid hierarchy is typical here just as it is of the mustangs that caspian gulls dominate the island. summers these brave birds our own interests they plants and mice this helps them survive in any conditions this earth e-list so they can drive even humans away was a right there are no fish. therefore they need to fatalism it's in the field all pick up bread and meat from cabbage cancer that's why the gal has become such a common bird at lakemont is good for another leah but throughout the south.

the goal colony is the largest seagulls nest in the grass or on the shore. other birds never fly over this part of the island even black headed gulls stick together and steer clear of the noisy flock of privileged guy that. whenever they see caspian gulls approaching they immediately set nests. but it's the spoonbills which stand out here. provisionally island forms the most and most of the habitat. these goods have peculiar looking beaks. they prefer to hunt for crayfish close to the shore.

because they cross stations where. there is an abundance of. only birds that feel safe on the island they build their nests away from the goals to form what might be described as settlements. preservation instinct tells to build their nests high above ground to protect their young from a sudden flood or. small predators get to the island when the lakes dry up in the hate when this happens the seagulls come to the rescue. when one comes around hundreds of attacking. folks. on one occasion. hundreds of

backwards. all of these here are two mayors and will man to colds and. that stallion is running up to them and wants to take them to an isolated place where they can feed in peace but. it's not quite clear when the first horses settled on the island the locals were aware of the wild herd back in the early twentieth century and local stories passed through the ages suggest that robbers in times gone by used to steal stallions and mez from nearby villages and hide them on the island they believe that those horses of the ancestors of the modern day mustangs. scientists have found some evidence in support of this theory of the wild horses avoid any island appear to have all the distinctive features and characteristics of the russian don't breed which was bred

in the dawn region one hundred years ago in one nine hundred ninety five when the island became part of the rostov nature reserve today the free roaming head is under protection but there was a time when the horses were under threat from invading poachers. when you got a gun you're poachers would come when the horses were unprotected by the time one of the stallions called baron often stood watch on high ground to get a good feel of the island. as soon as he sensed danger he alerted the hurt the horses saw baron as their leader. even though he had a family of his own with well the other horses followed his command because they

knew that baron had saved them from approaching poachers many times before anybody . got to cannes main has learned much about the mustangs after spending several days with them the main leader is no longer in the herd it now consists of eight hundred families all on equal terms it includes three hundred twenty three adult horses and eighteen colts these are critical figures for their survival if their copulation grows the mustangs may run out of food. they got to feel good when you're. mustangs absolutely love cereal crops they can't live without them would grow grapes and as long as there aren't too many horses here at any one time there's more than enough food to go around.

freshwater is a constant issue for the mustangs the morning jus is not enough to sustain them at noon the herd relaxes under the heat of the sun toward sunset a mustang's head to their drinking place the one nearest them has dried up but there is still some cool water at the bottom. all. all. all all this is the best place for them to rest before the hood sets out on a long journey to the other end of the island where there is still rain water in small pools.
