The Deosai Nationalpark







Hey! I wanna deal with the nature of Pakistan, because I think the most of students don´t konw that this English-speaking country has colorful nature places. When you see videos or pictures of Pakistan in the news they are mostly in connection with war and death and terror. I want to give you a short insight into a world of a wonderful park full of flowers and animals, the DEOSAI NATIONALPARK! ;D



Here are some facts:



Deosai means "the land of Giants" and the park secures the survival of the Himalayan brown bear. The number of these rare bears enlarged up 1993 with 19 bears to 2005 with 40 bears in the area. The park is located on the Deosai Plains, which are among the highest plateaus in the world!
Between November and may Deosai is snowbound. In spring season the area is covered with millions of colorful flowers and a wide variety of butterlies.
I can´t believe that Pakistan is so nice. When you look at the pictures the park is different to German parks.
In the near of the Deosai Nationalpark are lots of hotels for the tourists that come gladly.
A lake named Sheosar Lake (means "blind lake") is also avaliable and here are some animals that live in the park:
Himalayan ibex, red fox, golden marmot, wolf, the ladakh urial, snow leopard and over 124 resident and migratory birds.


The wildsheep:
In the northern of Pakistan lives a species of the wildsheep. The ladakh urial is rare and over 2100 of these sheeps exist anymore.
The weight is 35-90 kg and the basic color of these animals is tan.

The golden marmor:
The golden marmor is one of the 14 subspecies of marmors and all of them are sleeping while wintertime with a weight up to 7 kg. It´s very terrible that these sweet rodents getting hunt because of their fur.

The Himalayan ibex:
This animal is a goat and loves being at a rockly slope. Old trestles are nonconformists and the horns reach a length of ca. 1 meter.
Weight: 40-100 kg
