Beijing, March 27 (Youth.cn) - On March 26, 2025, at Hongji Ranch in Daqing, Heilongjiang Province, a sudden heavy spring snowstorm blanketed the grassland in silvery-white splendor. Amid the ice and snow, a group of great bustards - national first-class protected animals that had just migrated from the south - were spotted resting on the prairie. With their robust figures, these rare birds alternated between foraging for food and cautiously scanning their surroundings, their presence amidst the snowscape constituting a harmonious and picturesque scene.
