The canine teeth of the male are better developed than those of the female. Male canine teeth can reach over 200 mm. Hunting for males and yearlings, it is forbidden to shoot females.

A predatory mammal of the Canidae family. The largest animal in its family: its body length (without tail) can reach 160 cm, its tail is up to 52 cm long, shoulder height up to 90 cm and it weighs up to 86 kg. Wolf weight and size can vary greatly geographically; it has been noted that they change proportionally depending on the climate and in full accordance with Bergmann’s rule (the colder the climate, the larger the animal). On average, the animals have a shoulder height of 60–95 cm, are 105–160 cm and weigh 32–62 kg, which makes an average wolf one of the largest mammals in the family. Yearlings weigh between 20–30 kg, 2–3 year old wolves weigh 35–45 kg. A wolf grows to full size at 2.5–3 years old, reaching 50 kg or more. In Siberia and Alaska full-grown wolves can weigh more than 77 kg.

Large species: the body length of fully grown animals is 44–65 cm, sometimes reaching 74 cm; it weighs 1.6–4.5 kg. Seasonal dimorphism is present in the color of the species: the color of the white hare in winter is pure white, with the exception of black ear tips; in summer the coat in various habitats ranges from red-gray to slate-gray with a brownish ripple effect. The head is usually of a darker color than the back; the sides are lighter. The abdomen is white. Hares do not turn white in winter in areas where there is no steady snow covering. Females are usually slightly heavier than males and do not differ in color.

A mammal from the Leporidae family, Lepus genus. It is a large species of hare: its body is 57–68 cm long; it weighs 4–6 kg, rarely up to 7 kg. The largest species can be found in the North and North-East of the habitats. It has a thin body. The brown hare differs in appearance from the white hare in that it has longer ears (9.4–14 cm), a longer wedge-shaped tail (7.2–14 cm) of black or brown-black color on the top. Its eyes are reddish-brown. Its hind legs are longer than those of the white hare, but its paws are shorter and narrower (foot length is 13.6–18.5 cm), as the brown hare inhabits areas where the snow cover is relatively shallow and hard.

A common bird of the pheasant family. Males look significantly larger than females — their average length is 49–58 cm and they weigh 1.0–1.4 kg, while the females are 40–45 cm long and weigh 0.7–1.0 kg.

The mirrors are even more noticeable on the secondary remiges, where they cover most of the wing. The tail quills are black with a violet hue on top; side quills are bent to the sides, which gives the tail the shape of a lyre. Hens are brightly colored, red-brown with gray, dark yellow and brown-black crossing stripes.

Hazel grouse is the smallest species of grouse. Even the largest bird rarely exceeds 500 grams. In the forest it is hard to confuse with other grouse. It is not only different because of its small size but also because of its fairly recognizable color.

The common pheasant, or Phasianus colchicus is a bird of the Phasianinae subfamily, Phasianidae family, Galliformes order. It was originally an Asian species introduced into other parts of the world. It is a domesticated bird and is a common prey of hunters.
