Bolshoy Yeravna (Russian: Большо́е Ера́вное озеро; Russian Buryat: Ехэ Ярууна) is a fresh water body in the Yeravninsky District, Buryatia, Russia.[2]
Common roach, perch, crucian carp, pike, burbot, minnow, are among the native fish species in the lake. Peled, bream and carp have been introduced.[3] Legend says that the origin of the lake and the adjacent ones is in a big hot rock that fell to the earth and broke into big and small pieces that made holes which filled with water.[4]
