Russia’s incredible wildlife inhabits terrain that extends across 12 time zones; from the tundra region in the far north to the Caucasus Mountains and prairies in the south, including temperate forests, which cover 70% of the country's territory. Russia contains the planet's largest expanse of forest - over eight million square kilometres of mixed woodlands that are home to rare carnivores such as tigers, bears and leopards. The rest of Russia ranges from semi-desert to cold tundra, from snowy mountain peaks to open grasslands. (National Geographic)
