The Anuy (Russian: река́ Ану́й) is a left tributary of the Ob originating in the Altai Mountains of Siberia, Russia.[1] It is long, and has a drainage basin of .
The Chyorny Anuy and the smaller Bely Anuy join to form the Anuy. The Chyorny Anuy starts at an elevation of 1220m (4,000feet) at the southeastern end of the Anuy mountain range in the Altai Republic. Flowing in a northwestern direction, it enters Altai Krai after about 40km (30miles). The two rivers join near Soloneshensky District.
The Anuy exits the Altai mountains at an elevation of 250m (820feet) and flows in a northeastern to eastern direction. Near the village of Anuyskoye, the river takes a northern direction and joins the Ob west of Biysk at an elevation of about 150m (490feet).
The average flow at Staro-Tirishkino, about 10km (10miles) near the river's end, is about 36.1m3/s with a minimum of 6.9m3/s in February and a maximum of 123m3/s in April.[2]
The Anuy is frozen between November and April. It is not navigable.
The Denisova Cave is approximately 28m (92feet) above the right bank of the Anuy.
