- Ert are found in cold mountain streams and lakes, and their habitats can sometimes be picked out by the calcified bodies or one or more predators. Each summer the ert spawn and hundreds of them make their way upstream. They are particularly dangerous at this time and likely to attack other creatures that approach their spawning grounds.
