The Omoloy (Russian: Омолой Yakut: Омолой) is a river in Siberia, flowing into the Laptev Sea east of the river Lena. It is 593 kilometres (368 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 38,900 square kilometres (15,000 sq mi).[1] Administratively the basin of the Omoloy is part of the Sakha (Yakutia) administrative region of Russia.
There is a 332,500 ha (822,000 acres) protected area in the basin of the river.[2] The now extinct Beringian steppe bison used to have its habitat in the area of the Omoloy.[3]
