Spices diversity of wild animals differs greatly from one region of the world to another one. Almost all the world’s largest animals live in southern countries, where there is enough food and the weather conditions are more or less even throughout the year. For example, the biggest terricole is the African bush elephant, which inhabits vast savannas of this continent. The highest animal in the world is the giraffe, which also lives in Africa. Both the giraffe and the elephant are herbivorous, i.e they eat only plant food. Interestingly, the world’s largest carnivore lives in the Arctic. It is the polar bear, which is considered to be one of the largest, heaviest and the most dangerous wild animals. Its diet consists mostly of fish and small marine animals. And as for the biggest marine mammal, it is, of course, the blue whale. . To my mind, the most unusual wild animals live in Australia. It is, for example, the kangaroo – the most well-know marsupial mammal, which breeds the young in the pouch. It is also a koala bear – a sluggish wooly animal which is often called the symbol of Australia. Finally, Australia is home for the emu, the second largest flightless bird in the world.. As for my homeland, the most famous Russian wild animal is, of course, the bear. Also in vast taiga forests one can meet wolves, foxes, hares, squirrels, wild pigs, roe deer, and so on. Some of them can be rather dangerous, especially in mating season.

The official date of opening of the Cathedral is October 20, 1708 — birthday of architect Rena (the day he turned 76 years old), but the actual service at the Cathedral commenced on 2 December 1697. Before commencing construction, the Ren actually had three completely alter the project. The first project intended to build on the Foundation of the burned-out fourth Cathedral new big Church. This project was rejected almost immediately — apparently the authorities wanted something more grandiose. The second project involved the construction of a Church, having in view the plan of a Greek cross. This project was worked out in detail — suffice it to say that up to the present time preserved is executed in scale 1:24 layout of this Cathedral, which today is exhibited in the Cathedral of St. Paul. However, this project was also rejected as too radical. The third project of Ren involves the construction of a rather large Church with a dome and two towers with belfries. This project was approved, and in June 1675 the construction work began. However, soon after king Charles II re-claimed for the project and ordered changes, which he described as decorative. These decorative change was a large dome, made to St. Paul's Cathedral one of the biggest London attractions. It is generally accepted that the dome of the Cathedral was very similar to the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Under the dome there are three galleries: the internal whispering gallery and exterior stone and Golden gallery. Whispering gallery owes its name not provided by architects, especially its acoustics: a word even spoken in a whisper, at one end of the gallery, repeatedly reflected its walls, causing a murmur could hear people on the other end of the gallery.

In the steeples of the Cathedral are 17 bells, 13 of them in the North-West tower and 4 (including the bell Big Paul (eng. Great Paul) and Large Volume (eng. Great Tom) — in the South-West tower.
