45) Morocco and Western Sahara – April 2019
MOROCCO AND WESTERN SAHARA Date - April 2019 Duration - 22 Days Destinations Casablanca - El Jadida - Agadir - Souss-Massa National Park - Arrouais Reserve - Rokein Reserve - Tafraoute - Tizi n’ Test - Ouirgane - Imlil - Toubkal National Park - Ouzoud Falls - Ifrane National Park - Tazekka National Park - Dakhla - Aousserd Trip Overview - Morocco Having come to rely somewhat on his superb spotlighting skills, I decided that it made sense to schedule my return to Morocco for the Easter holiday period, when James would be home from university and available to travel with me once again. Although I appreciate his excellent company even more than his invaluable assistance on what can be fairly demanding tours, neither are luxuries that I will be able to rely upon for a great deal longer, as his studies will require far more of his time during his second year and of course there are now also more personal demands on any remaining free time. We will be travelling to the Congo, both the Republic and Democratic Republic, together in July 2019 to research a great apes tour that I have been planning for some time, but this will probably be our last major trip together for the foreseeable future. If it is, western gorillas and bonobos will be an appropriately spectacular way to conclude what, from my perspective at least, has been an incredibly rewarding experience and I have to say that I am glad that our remarkable journey did not come to an end in Morocco. That is not to suggest that Morocco is not a beautiful country and that our tour was unsuccessful, as neither are the case and we both thoroughly enjoyed exploring what is undoubtedly an alluring and historic destination. -
The Natural Reserve of the Mesola Wood, Officially Called As Gran

Observations on the historical distribution of the red deer, Cervus elaphus L., 1758, in the wood of Mesola (Ferrara), and in the Po delta (north-eastern Italy) Dati sulla diffusione storica del cervo, Cervus elaphus L., 1758. della Mesola nel delta padano (Italia nord-orientale) Summary – Several authors currently regard the red deer of the Mesola wood (Gran Bosco della Mesola o Boscone della Mesola) of the abbey of Pomposa, as the only endemic deer of the Italian peninsula. However, certain evidence on the historic distribution of the species points to a different situation. In reality, the Mesola dunes, where the deer park was established by the d’Este princes in the late Middle Ages, originated from the geological settlement of the mouth of the river Po not prior to the 13th century AD. Thus, the red deer may not have been autochthonous but introduced after this event from abroad. However, an eastwards diffusion of the species, progressively colonizing the new coastlines from the hinterland of the Ferrara plain, just a few meters westwards of the dune spits, cannot be ruled out. -

Cette dévastation est d'autant plus regrettable que la flore et la faune de cette partie du globe ont une valeur toute particulière. Les pays méditerranéens ont, en effet, constitué une vaste zone de passage où se sont mélangés des éléments d'origines très diverses. Ils ont, de plus, formé au cours des périodes glaciaires une aire de refuge qui a abrité un grand nombre de plantes et d'animaux chassés du Nord par les glaces; ces souches sont souvent encore en place dans des localités d'une superficie parfois minime. -
Tunisia's Wildlife R
74 Tunisia's Wildlife R. G. M. Willan Early in 1972 the author visited Tunisia at the request of the British Council to study all aspects of nature conservation. This article is a brief resume of his report. Tunisia has recently been successful in improving the status of one severely endangered mammal, the Atlas deer or Barbary stag Cervus elaphus barbarus, a red deer subspecies whose entire population is found in the dense oak forests on the Algerian-Tunisian frontier. Numbers were very low indeed before 1966, when a few indivi- duals, severely persecuted on the Algerian side, took refuge in the forests on the Tunisian side. In January 1966, the Forest Service, helped by the German-Tunisian Society, fenced a large area of forest at El Feidja, near Ghardimaou, and a number of deer were driven in under the supervision of Herr Hugo Fenzl, a local resident.* A smaller enclosure was also made at Ain Bacouch near Tabarka. Since then, with complete protection, the deer have increased considerably, both inside and outside the fenced areas. The exact number today is not known, but various estimates put it at 300+, and their future now looks much brighter. Another interesting example of the protection of a relict population is that of Cuvier's or the mountain gazelle Gazella cuvieri, which occurs on the Djebel Chambi and the nearby forest of Kechem el Kelb near Kasserine where some 100 animals live on the rocky hillsides in open Aleppo pine forest. In both these areas protection is possible because the land is state forest controlled by the Direction des Forets. -

Gross Anatomy of the Stomach of the Cervus Elaphus Barbarus
Int. J. Morphol., 31(2):388-391, 2013. Gross Anatomy of the Stomach of the Cervus Elaphus barbarus Anatomía Macroscópica del Estómago del Ciervo Elaphus barbarus Hassen Jerbi* & William Pérez** JERBI, H. & PÉREZ, W. Gross anatomy of the stomach of the cervus Elaphus barbarus. Int. J. Morphol., 31(2):388-391, 2013. SUMMARY: The barbary stag is an intermediate feeder ruminant of the Cervidae family. The macroscopic anatomy of the stomach in one adult barbary stag was described. The stomach of the barbary stag was composed of the four classic compartments of the ruminants. The weight of the full stomach was 10.5 Kg. The ruminal papillae were distributed unevenly in the rumen. The maximum height of the cristae reticuli was 0.2 cm. The cellulae reticuli were mostly undivided. The curvatura omasi measured 15.0 cm and the omasum had 15 primary, 10 secondary, 10 tertiary and 17 cuaternaryLaminae omasi. The abomasum had about 12 plicae spirales abomasi.We concluded that the stomach morphology of the barbary stag had characteristics of other intermediate feeder ruminants. KEY WORDS: Abomasum; Abdomen; Cervidae; Forestomach; Proventriculus. INTRODUCTION MATERIAL AND METHOD The classification of ruminants into three groups One adult male Cervus elaphus barbarus from according to their feeding types (browsers, intermediate Tunisia was used in this study. The age of the animal was 2 feeders, grazers) has been linked to anatomical studies, years. The body condition was excellent and body weight mainly of African, European, and North American species was 60.0 Kg. The animal was dissected immediately after (Hofmann,1973, 1988). Most cervids are considered either being found dead. -
