  • Thirty Years Later: Enrichment Practices for Captive Mammals à Julia M
    Zoo Biology 29 : 303–316 (2010) RESEARCH ARTICLE Thirty Years Later: Enrichment Practices for Captive Mammals à Julia M. Hoy, Peter J. Murray, and Andrew Tribe School of Animal Studies, The University of Queensland, Gatton Campus, Queensland, Australia Environmental enrichment of captive mammals has been steadily evolving over the past thirty years. For this process to continue, it is first necessary to define current enrichment practices and then identify the factors that limit enhancing the quality and quantity of enrichment, as well as the evaluation of its effectiveness. With the objective of obtaining this information, an international multi- institutional questionnaire survey was conducted with individuals working with zoo-housed mammals. Results of the survey showed that regardless of how important different types of enrichment were perceived to be, if providing them was particularly time-consuming, they were not made available to captive mammals as frequently as those requiring less staff time and effort. The groups of mammals provided with enrichment most frequently received it on average fewer than four times per day, resulting in less than two hours per day spent by each animal care staff member on tasks related to enrichment. The time required for staff to complete other husbandry tasks was the factor most limiting the implementation and evaluation of enrichment. The majority of survey respon- dents agreed that they would provide more enrichment and carry out more evaluation of enrichment if it was manageable to do so. The results of this study support the need for greater quantity, variety, frequency, and evaluation of enrichment provided to captive mammals housed in zoos without impinging on available staff time.

Download date: 26. sep.. 2021 Eur J Wildl Res DOI 10.1007/s10344-012-0668-5 ORIGINAL PAPER A genetically distinct lion (Panthera leo) population from Ethiopia Susann Bruche & Markus Gusset & Sebastian Lippold & Ross Barnett & Klaus Eulenberger & Jörg Junhold & Carlos A. Driscoll & Michael Hofreiter Received: 29 September 2011 /Revised: 9 September 2012 /Accepted: 18 September 2012 # Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012 Abstract Lion (Panthera leo) numbers are in serious decline in 15 lions from Addis Ababa Zoo in Ethiopia. A comparison and two of only a handful of evolutionary significant units with six wild lion populations identifies the Addis Ababa lions have already become extinct in the wild. However, there is as being not only phenotypically but also genetically distinct continued debate about the genetic distinctiveness of different from other lions. In addition, a comparison of the mitochon- lion populations, a discussion delaying the initiation of con- drial cytochrome b (CytB) gene sequence of these lions to servation actions for endangered populations. Some lions sequences of wild lions of different origins supports the notion from Ethiopia are phenotypically distinct from other extant of their genetic uniqueness. Our examination of the genetic lions in that the males possess an extensive dark mane. In this diversity of this captive lion population shows little effect of study, we investigated the microsatellite variation over ten loci inbreeding.

  • Gaits and Their Development in the Infraorder Pecora by Anne Innis
    Gaits and Their Development in the Infraorder Pecora by Anne Innis Dagg, M.A. THESIS Presented to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Waterloo in partial ful­ fillmenc of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosopty in Biolog The University of Waterloo February, 1967 The University of Waterloo requires the signature of all persons using this thesis. Please sign below, and give address and date. I hereby declare that I am the sole a�thor of this thesis. I authorize the University of Waterloo to lend it to other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. Signature Abstract The gaits of twenty-eight species of the Infraorder Pecora are analyzed from motion picture sequences comprising over 45,000 frames. For each gait the percentage time spent on the various supporting legs during each stride and the order in which the combinations of supporting legs were used are tabulated. When possible the times for the strides are calculated. The walk patterns of each of the four families studied are shown to be statistically distinctive. Within each family, those members that live where the vegetation is so dense that they must rely on hearing to warn them of danger use a more stable walk than those species that inhabit open grasslands. A stable walk is that in which diagonal legs are used in·preference to lateral legs and three or four supporting legs are used rather than two. With a more stable walk, 4 species is able to pause quickly and to flee instantly if danger thr�atens.

  • Steve Irwin Herpetology
    Stephen Robert "Steve" Irwin (born February 22, 1962 – died September 4, 2006), nicknamed "The Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin was (among other things) a herpetologist. He was a scientist who studied and took care of reptiles and amphibians. Irwin was born and raised in Australia where his mother and father started the Australia Zoo. He grew up around reptiles and took over the management of the zoo as an adult. Even as a child he was involved in the care and feeding of animals and taking care of the zoo. He is best known for a successful television series called “Crocodile Hunter” in which he wrestled crocodiles. Irwin loved nature and animals. By teaching people about animals he wanted to protect them and the habitats they live in. He wanted to share his excitement about the natural world with people and make them aware of endangered animals, or animals with low populations, and land clearing leading to loss of habitat. Irwin died on September 4, 2006 after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming an underwater film titled “Ocean's Deadliest”. What does a herpetologist do? A herpetologist is a scientist who studies amphibians and reptiles. They encounter many interesting and potentially dangerous animals. There are many tools a herpetologist can use to handle, observe and assist amphibians and reptiles. A herpetologist can use a snake hook to safely pick up snakes. If a herpetologist is working with snakes, they may keep antivenom close by in case they get bitten. Gloves are important to protect a herpetologist against bites by a lizard or snake.

    Leading � rec�very Annual Report 2019–2020 TARONGA ANNUAL REPORT 2019–2020 A SHARED FUTURE � WILDLIFE AND PE�PLE At Taronga we believe that together we can find a better and more sustainable way for wildlife and people to share this planet. Taronga recognises that the planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems are the life support systems for our own species' health and prosperity. At no time in history has this been more evident, with drought, bushfires, climate change, global pandemics, habitat destruction, ocean acidification and many other crises threatening natural systems and our own future. Whilst we cannot tackle these challenges alone, Taronga is acting now and working to save species, sustain robust ecosystems, provide experiences and create learning opportunities so that we act together. We believe that all of us have a responsibility to protect the world’s precious wildlife, not just for us in our lifetimes, but for generations into the future. Our Zoos create experiences that delight and inspire lasting connections between people and wildlife. We aim to create conservation advocates that value wildlife, speak up for nature and take action to help create a future where both people and wildlife thrive. Our conservation breeding programs for threatened and priority wildlife help a myriad of species, with our program for 11 Legacy Species representing an increased commitment to six Australian and five Sumatran species at risk of extinction. The Koala was added as an 11th Legacy Species in 2019, to reflect increasing threats to its survival. In the last 12 months alone, Taronga partnered with 28 organisations working on the front line of conservation across 17 countries.
