The longest are the long Kelter, the long Burgavli and the long Munilchan from the right and the long Taal from the left. ==Fauna== In the same manner as the upper course of the neighboring Tumara, the Nuora has fast-flowing clear waters fed by rain and snow. Taimen, lenok, whitefish, grayling, pike, ide and perch are found in the waters of the river. ==See also== List of rivers of Russia ==References== ==External links== Yakutia.info - Минэкологии Якутии опровергает информацию о рассыпании селитры на реке Нуора (The Ministry of Ecology of Yakutia refutes information about the scattering of saltpeter on the Nuora River)
