Birds

Where the Yakuts live, there are about 280 species of birds, but because of the weather conditions there, many of them are rare to see and some are even vanishing. One Bird that is common to see is the crane. of the 15 species in the world, 6 of those species are located in Yakutia. Specifically, the Siberian white crane is known to be a sacred bird to Yakuts. The tale that goes along with that is that if one sees are Siberian white crane at least once in their lifetime, they will be happy forever.
