Graduates of KBSU, later workers of the Kabardino-Balkarian High Mountain Reserve zoologists E.A. Vukkert and K.R. Ayunts, conducted in 1988 in Ushtulu a long-term study of the life of a family of bearded vultures at a nest on the Main Caucasian Ridge at an altitude of about 2000 m above sea level.
The bearded vulture is a bird of the hawk family. The number of populations is constantly decreasing: according to statistics, there are no more than 10 thousand adults left in the world. The results of that long-term work were reflected only 30 years later.
