What animals are the Five Great Immortals of Northeast China?

The "Five Fairies of Northeast China" usually refers to five wild animals, namely rats, mink, weasels, roe deer and mountain rabbits.

Rats are small rodents that are widely distributed and include many species. In the Northeast, house mice and voles are very common.

The mink is an excellent predator, belonging to the mustelidae family, with a body length of about 30 cm and a long and thick tail. They mainly feed on small mammals, such as rodents, birds, insects, etc.

The weasel, also known as the weasel or the weasel, belongs to the mustelidae family. It has a slender body and a small head. It is good at hunting various pests and small mammals.

Roe deer, also known as small sika deer, is a small and medium-sized herbivorous artiodactyl animal, with a body length of 1.2-1.6 meters, a shoulder height of 0.7-0.9 meters, and a weight of 40-60 kilograms. They are mainly found in the forests and grasslands of Asia and Europe.

Mountain hare is a small herbivorous mammal belonging to the Leporidae family. They are small, usually around 30 centimeters in length and weigh about 1-2 kilograms. There are many species of mountain rabbits, mainly distributed in the forests and grasslands of temperate and boreal zones in the northern hemisphere.

It should be noted that some of these five animals may become pests in agricultural production and ecosystems, but they themselves also play a role in controlling the number of other organisms, which is of certain significance in maintaining ecological balance. Therefore, it is crucial to properly manage the relationship between humans and animals while protecting wildlife.
