The crake Crex crex is a medium–sized bird of the shepherd family, the crake received such an unusual Latin name because of its specific cry. Birds scream in May and the first half of summer, the rest of the time they behave silently, especially in wintering grounds.
These birds reluctantly rise into the air (as a rule, only in case of extreme danger), fly a few meters and again descend to the ground. However, the clumsiness and slowness in the air of the crake are successfully compensated by fast running and agility on the ground. The bird not only runs perfectly and confuses tracks, but also skillfully hides, not allowing hunters to find their resting place.
When the bears are comfortable, they begin to purr (rattle).

The Irish Wolfhound is one of the largest dogs in the world. These dogs were used as greyhounds for the baiting of big game - wolves and deer. The character is calm, kind.
The first written evidence of these dogs is found in the Roman consul in 391. A pair of Irish greyhounds was a valuable gift for the royal courts of Europe, Scandinavia and others in the Middle Ages until the XVII century. Thus, these dogs got to England, Spain, France, Sweden, Denmark, Persia, India and Poland.
The change of the name of the dog to the wolfhound occurred, obviously, in the XV century, at that time each county was obliged to keep 24 wolfhounds to protect farm herds from wolf attacks.
