The Ussuri River (Chinese: Wūsūlǐ Jīang 乌苏里江, Russian: река Уссури) is a river in south east Russia, flowing north, forming part of the Chinese border, to the Amur River. It is approximately 897 km (500 miles) in length. The area of the Ussuri basin is 193,000 sq km. Its waters come from rain (60%), snow (30-35%) and subterranean springs. The Ussuri River is known for its catastrophic floods. It freezes up in November and stays under the ice until April. The river teems with different kinds of fish: grayling, sturgeon, humpback salmon (gorbusha), chum salmon (keta) and others.


The Sino-Soviet border conflict of 1969 took place on the Ussuri River.

Ussuri (cat) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (330 words)
The Ussuri is a rare natural breed of cat that originates from the region of the Amur river, Russia.
It is reputed to be derived from natural hybrids with small wild cats known as "Amur Forest Cats" and "Amur Leopard Cats" (Asian Leopard Cat subspecies, the same species used in the Bengal breed).
The Ussuri's numbers are dwindling due to interbreeding with local domestic cats and, without a breeding programme to preserve the strain, it will disappear.
