#DriftIce (#流氷) at the Sea of #Okhotsk last weekend, off the coast at #Abashiri, #Hokkaido, #Japan 🧊❄️

The drift ice originates where the #Amur River meets the ocean in eastern Siberia, and then travels all the way to northern Hokkaido. With it, it brings nutrients and unique fauna - one of nature's many spectacles and a true #biodiversity catalyst. However, in a world above 2°C of warming, the ice may no longer reach Hokkaido.

The #Amur or #Siberian #leopard covered with itsy bitsy teenie weenie dot bikini is native to the #Russian southeast coast and northern #China.

Like other members of the species, they are strong, fast and flexible - weighing between 30 and 47 kilograms on average, they can reach a speed of 90 km/h, jump up to six meters far or up to three meters high.

They're endangered, but recovering nicely.

Wild #Amur tigers terrorize local residents- 18 family dogs killed in recent weeks
Severely poached to near extinction in 1990s, Amur tiger is still a critically endangered species (at about 500 individuals in wild).
Conservation efforts in recent years have stabilized their numbers- unfortunately, people also live within their habitat.
95% of Amur population lives in forests of Russia's Far East (5% in NE China), preying on people's pets in area. #Wildlife

Each rule has its exception, there are even good russians.

Russia and China have opened traffic on the railway bridge across the #Amur

I definitely want to share that:

#Salmon Is #Disappearing From #Russia’s #Amur River. It’s Taking Local Tradition With It.

The loss of the staple fish has bolstered anti-Moscow sentiment, with locals blaming federal authorities for supporting commercial fisheries.

“We have to do something about this situation or our great grandchildren won’t see any at all,”...
