The steppes of Kalmykia are arid. There are few sources of water and rare lakes attract all the inhabitants of the steppe. Saiga saigas, wolves, cranes, vultures and smaller birds alternately gather for a watering place. With dawn, feathered inhabitants gather on the lake. Here are the birds that got their name due to their characteristic appearance. With a long and curved, awl-like beak, it is called an avocet. A stilt walks nearby on long stilted legs. Now is the time for weddings for many birds. The male duck - Ogarya insistently calls the female. However, his love plans and the tranquility of other inhabitants were disturbed by the appearance of new animals. These are steppe wolves. They are representatives of a rare and little-studied subspecies of the common wolf. Wolves enjoy the coolness of the steppe lake all alone. But someone violates their peace. These are semi-wild horses leading the free life of mustangs. Saigas can go without water for a long time. But, if possible, drink a lot and with pleasure. In the next few days, they will not be able to appear at the watering place. As if waiting for the saigas, the vultures began to flock to the lake.
