Which large terrestrial carnivoran can be found in the Mantaritza Biosphere Reserve?
Mantaritza Biosphere Reserve Mantaritza Biosphere Reserve (Bulgarian: Биосферен резерват "Мантарица" ) is situated to the north of Golyama Syutka Peak in the Rhodope Mountains in Bulgaria, and covers an area of 1319,9 hectares. The reserve was established in 1968 to protect the old coniferous forests and the biotopes of the Western capercaillie (Tetrao urogalus). The area was declared as biosphere reserve in 1977. It represents century-old forests of pure and mixed stands of Norway spruce "(Picea abies)", European birch "(Fagus sylvatica)" and European silver fir "(Abies alba)". The reserve is situated in the Bulgarian Floristic sub-region of West Rhodope within the Central European mountain biotic province. The varied fauna includes brown bear "(Ursus arctos)" , red deer "(Cervus elaphus)", roe deer "(Capreolus capreolus)", wild boar (Sus scrofa), pine marten "(Martes martes)", European badger "(Meles meles"), hazel grouse "(Bonasa bonasia)", black woodpecker "(Dryocopus martius)" and European crested tit "(Parus cristatus)".
Olive oropendola The olive oropendola ("Psarocolius bifasciatus") is the largest member of the icterid family and rivals the Amazonian umbrellabird as the largest passerine bird in South America. It is sometimes placed in the genus "Gymnostinops" instead of "Psarocolius". As suggested by its name, it is found widely – but often in low densities – throughout humid lowland forests of the Amazon Basin, with the notable exception of most of the Guiana Shield. It is sometimes split into two species, the western olive oropendola ("P. yuracares") and the eastern Pará oropendola ("P. bifasciatus"), but the subspecies "P. y. neivae" is widely recognized as a hybrid swarm, and the vast majority of authorities consider them a single species.
