The Active Citizen project has begun vote for names for new inhabitants Moscow Zoo— chicks of the red-listed demoiselle crane.
The story of the birds is similar to the plot of a movie: employees of the Baikal airport in Ulan-Ude discovered a clutch of eggs of a rare bird near the runway. Ornithological engineers reported the amazing find to specialists. The Moscow Zoo immediately offered its help.
A real rescue operation began. Two eggs were placed in a thermal container, and this fragile and valuable cargo was delivered to the capital by plane. In Moscow, the eggs were placed in an incubator, and in early June, chicks were born – a male and a female.
Today, the babies actively interact with the employees of the reproduction center, eat with pleasure and even walk around the enclosure. The crane chicks will learn to fly at the end of the summer. Visitors to the Moscow Zoo can already see the birds.
"Active citizens" will have to name the feathered brother and sister. Zoologists from Ulan-Ude suggest naming them after rivers flowing through the picturesque lands of Buryatia.
Among the options for the male are Barguzin and Vitim, named after the major waterways of Siberia. The names Temnik and Chikoy, which are also tributaries of the Selenga River, are being considered. Another possible option is Irkut, the name of a river flowing through the territory of Buryatia and the Irkutsk region.
The female can be named Selenga after the largest river flowing into Lake Baikal. Alternative options include Turka (another river filling the Baikal bowl) and Oka. Chuya is reminiscent of the right tributary of the Lena, and Snezhnaya is a river that originates in the snows of the Khamar-Daban ridge.
The voting was prepared by the capital Department of Culture and the project "Active Citizen"Its users have already chosen names for many animals, including Papuan Kalao Bird, Malayan bears Masha, Luchik and Zvezdochka, Alpaca Zephyra, hyena Akela, panda Katyusha AndTiger Amur.
