Bryk (Russian: Брык), is a mesa, a butte in Andropovsky District, Stavropol Krai, Russia,[1][2] a complex geological and geomorphological natural monument of regional significance.

[1][7] A state protective forest belt runs across the top of the mountain, "Volgograd-Elista-Cherkessk"[11] with a total length of 570 km, consisting of four 60 m wide strips (distance between the strips - 300 m)[12] and includes wild and cultivated plants (oak, ash, poplar, acacia, elm, pine, pine, maple, mulberry, apricot, walnut, alycha, etc.).

The northern, western and southern slopes are covered with hornbeam and ash forest with an undergrowth of hawthorn, maple, birch, elderberry, and others.

[7][9] In non-forested areas, virgin meadow and steppe vegetation are preserved (feathergrass, Paeonia tenuifolia, Eremurus spectabilis, Krascheninnikovia ceratoides, and others).

[7] On sandy and stony places the following plants can be found: Silene supina, Asteraceae, Dianthus pallens, Linosyris villosa, Hieracium robustum, Odontites vulgaris, Teucrium polium, Helichrysum arenarium, and others.

[13] The following animal species are represented: badger, hare, titmouse, falcon, sparrow, steppe eagle, Eurasian skylark, and others.

[16] Researchers also note that the stone crypt discovered on Bryk is "completely uncharacteristic for funerary structures of the North Caucasus and at the same time quite common for Greek tombs in the Northern Black Sea region.
