Bosnian Endemic Quarry Mammals
There are 59 mammal species in Bosnia and Herzegovina, of which one is endangered, eight are vulnerable, and two are near threatened. The following tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status as assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature: Some species were assessed using an earlier set of criteria. Species assessed using this system have the following instead of near threatened and least concern categories: Order: Rodentia (rodents) ---- Rodents make up the largest order of mammals, with over 40% of mammalian species. They have two incisors in the upper and lower jaw which grow continually and must be kept short by gnawing. Most rodents are small though the capybara can weigh up to 45 kg (100 lb). *Suborder: Sciurognathi **Family: Sciuridae (squirrels) ***Subfamily: Sciurinae ****Tribe: Sciurini *****Genus: ''Sciurus'' ****** Red squirrel, ''Sciurus vulgaris'' LC ***Subfamily: Xerinae ****Tribe: Marmotini *****Genus: '' Mar ...

Beech
Beech (''Fagus'') is a genus of deciduous trees in the family Fagaceae, native to temperate Europe, Asia, and North America. Recent classifications recognize 10 to 13 species in two distinct subgenera, ''Engleriana'' and ''Fagus''. The ''Engleriana'' subgenus is found only in East Asia, distinctive for its low branches, often made up of several major trunks with yellowish bark. The better known ''Fagus'' subgenus beeches are high-branching with tall, stout trunks and smooth silver-grey bark. The European beech (''Fagus sylvatica'') is the most commonly cultivated. Beeches are monoecious, bearing both male and female flowers on the same plant. The small flowers are unisexual, the female flowers borne in pairs, the male flowers wind-pollinating catkins. They are produced in spring shortly after the new leaves appear. The fruit of the beech tree, known as beechnuts or mast, is found in small burrs that drop from the tree in autumn. They are small, roughly triangular, and edible, w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Abies
Firs (''Abies'') are a genus of 48–56 species of evergreen coniferous trees in the family Pinaceae. They are found on mountains throughout much of North and Central America, Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The genus is most closely related to ''Cedrus'' (cedar). The genus name is derived from the Latin "to rise" in reference to the height of its species. The common English name originates with the Old Norse, fyri, or the Old Danish, fyr. They are large trees, reaching heights of tall with trunk diameters of when mature. Firs can be distinguished from other members of the pine family by the way in which their needle-like leaves are attached singly to the branches with a base resembling a suction cup, and by their cones, which, like those of true cedars, stand upright on the branches like candles and disintegrate at maturity. Identification of the different species is based on the size and arrangement of the leaves, the size and shape of the cones, and whether the bract scal ...

Spruce
A spruce is a tree of the genus ''Picea'' (), a genus of about 35 species of coniferous evergreen trees in the family Pinaceae, found in the northern temperate and boreal (taiga) regions of the Earth. ''Picea'' is the sole genus in the subfamily Piceoideae. Spruces are large trees, from about 20 to 60 m (about 60–200 ft) tall when mature, and have whorled branches and conical form. They can be distinguished from other members of the pine family by their needles (leaves), which are four-sided and attached singly to small persistent peg-like structures (pulvini or sterigmata) on the branches, and by their cones (without any protruding bracts), which hang downwards after they are pollinated. The needles are shed when 4–10 years old, leaving the branches rough with the retained pegs. In other similar genera, the branches are fairly smooth. Spruce are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera (moth and butterfly) species, such as the eastern spruce budwo ...

Jakotina River
The Jakotina ( Serbian Cyrillic: Јакотина) is a left tributary of the Vrbanja river. It rises on the north-eastern slopes of the mountains Čemernica (at about 1,050 meters above sea level) in the area of Rađići village. This locality is above the regional road Banja Luka - Kneževo. The length of this river is about 20 kilometers. Along its course, in the 1970s there were at least 10 water-mills. Its mouth is in the Kotor Varoš, about 200 meters downstream from the old bazaar. After a watershed with the Cvrcka (also a tributary of Vrbanja), and tributaries of Ugar, Jakotina has a relatively short and deep canyon (depth of about 300 meters). The canyon spreads to the mouth Grabačevac, its richest tributary. Near Kotor Varoš there is also one small and one large waterfall (300 meters above sea level). Large waterfall is called "Bobas"; its height is about seven metres. On the right slopes above the waterfall there is a source of drinking water that centuries has ...

Cvrcka
The Cvrcka ( sr-cyrl, Цврцка) is a river which flows through Bosnia, the largest left bank tributary of the river Vrbanja. It rises on the northern slopes of Čemernica, on the same drainage divide as the Jakotina, another tributary of the same river, and the streams that flow into the Ugar. It is formed by two rivers: Međurača (source at about 1,200 m) and Vukača (source at about 1,150 m). Its estuary is between Večići and Vrbanjci (310 m above sea level).Mučibabić B, Ed.
