Adventures:

Dnipropetrovsk is the most uninteresting biome so far. Forests cover 3.9% of the region. We took a lot of hikes through those forests and found out that there are over 1,700 plant species and 7,500 animal species here. Some animals that are native are elk, wild boars, and wolves. We saw a big pack of wolves! Luckily they were more interested in the prey they had found than they were in us, or we would've become the prey. There is mainly flat land here so that makes it good for farming.

We visited Hluby Park which is the most popular park in the city. It is especially popular with children because it has a real running train that they can ride. The park was beautiful. We also went to the Yavornitskiy History Museum where they had lots of memorabilia and information on those who perished during the soviet period. They had information on soviet villains such as Stalin.
