Tiger & Wolf Requirements Tiger & Wolf Requirements PRESENTED BY: ALYSSA BARACEWICZ COMMITTEE CHAIR PACK 1776 DUXBURY CORY MACE COMMITTEE CHAIR PACK 1620 PLYMOUTH Key Code Throughout this presentation, we provide suggestions on the best meeting environment: ◦ Virtually, At Home ◦ Face-to-Face, Outside ◦ Either Option Tiger Requirements PRESENTED BY: ALYSSA BARACEWICZ COMMITTEE CHAIR, PACK 1776 DUXBURY Games Tigers Play Play two initiative or team-building games with the members of your den. Listen carefully to your leader while the rules are being explained and follow directions when playing. At the end of the game, talk with the leader about what you learned when you played the game. Tell how you helped the den by playing your part. Talk with your den or family about why good nutrition helps you to be strong and active. Bring a nutritious snack to a den meeting. Share why you picked it and what makes it a good snack choice. Make up a game with the members of your den and play it with den members. After playing the game, talk with your den about the experience.. Make up a new game and play it with your family or members of your den or pack. Then talk with the group about the experience. Tip: When doing this adventure virtually, think less of sports games and more strategy games. (EX: Guess what I have behind the screen with these clues) This is the easiest Tiger adventure to complete virtually in my opinion. My Tiger Jungle With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult, go for a walk outside, and pick out two or more sights or sounds of "nature" around you. Discuss with your partner or den. Tip: The discussion can happen virtually. The walk can be completed with their family in their own yard. Point out two different kinds of birds that live in your area. With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult, or with your den, find out more about one of these birds. Tip: Nature centers and museums have posted videos over the past few months and could be a great resource to learn about and identify/see local birds. Be helpful to nature by planting a plant, shrub, or tree. Learn more about the needs and growth of the item you have planted. Tip: Contact local nurseries for end of season plants and distribute ahead of time to den to plant on a virtual call if unable to do in person. Team Tiger With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult, or with your den, talk about what it means to be part of a team. List some of the teams you are on (den, pack, family, class, etc.), and explain how you can help each one. With your den, talk about your Tiger team. Then make a chart showing all the different ways team members can help the den. Volunteer to take your turn doing at least two different jobs, one of which is leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Tip: chat can be made using screen share and platforms like Excel or Paint/Powerpoint. Dens can have virtual roles too such as meeting assistant who is unmuted the entire time and can call on other cubs to take turns and share. With your family, talk about how family members each have a role in the family team. Then pick a job that you will do to help the team. Follow through by doing that job at least three times during the next three weeks. With your den or family, participate as a team in a service project that helps our country or your community. Tip: Trash pickups can be done while keeping socially distant Tiger Bites With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult, or with your den, find out about good food choices and not-so-good choices. Identify three foods that you think would be good choices and three foods that would not be good choices. Explain the importance of hand washing before a meal and cleanup after a meal. Then show how you would do each. Show that you know the difference between a fruit and a vegetable. Eat one of each. Tip: Have your den watch this YouTube video on fruits Vs Veggie : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTK-uWx_VQo With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult, pick a job to help your family at mealtime. Do it for at least four meals. Tiger Circles: Duty to God Discuss with your parent, guardian, den leader, or other caring adult what it means to do your duty to God. Tell how you do your duty to God in your daily life. With a family member, attend a religious service or other activity that shows how your family expresses reverence for God. Tip: Many local churches are broadcasting their services online. With the approval of your parent/guardian, den leader, or other caring adult, think of and then carry out an act of kindness or respect that you think shows duty to God. Tip: act of kindness could be virtually calling a lonely relative online and cheering them up, reading to them, or just chit chatting on a virtual call. Most units have cubs complete this adventure at home with a parent. Tigers In the Wild With your parent or other caring adult, name and collect the Cub Scout Six Essentials you need for a hike. Tell your den leader what you would need to add to your list to prepare for rain. Go for a short hike with your den or family and carry your own gear. Show you know how to get ready for this hike. Listen while your leader reads the Outdoor Code. Talk about how you can be clean in your outdoor manners. Listen while your leader reads the Leave No Trace Principles for Kids. Discuss why you should "Trash Your Trash." Apply the Outdoor Code and Leave No Trace Principles for Kids on your Tiger den and pack outings. Tip: This must be on an outside outing, but outings can be organized so they are staggered arrivals or small groups to keep within state guidelines. After one outing, share what you did to demonstrate the principles you discussed. Find two different trees and two different types of plants that grow in your area. Tip: Research Youtube videos that have local experts discussing native trees to the Southshore Ma Tiger Tales Create your own tall tale. Share your tale with your den. Read a tall tale with your parent, guardian, or other caring adult. Create a piece of art from a scene in the tall tale you have read, using your choice of materials. Share it with your den. Sing two folk songs. Tip: All requirements can be completed on virtual meetings, using Youtube videos on a screen share for learning folk songs. Cubs can make art at their table and share on screen, and take turns telling their tale on virtual meetings if needed. Wolf Requirements PRESENTED BY: CORY MACE COMMITTEE CHAIR, PACK 1620 PLYMOUTH Call of the Wild Do activity outdoors ◦ Tip: Any Den or Pack event outside will count towards elective Talk about how you can keep from spreading germs. (Perfectly fits with current environment!) Make a list of weather changes and talk about how you’d prepare for each one (ie. rain, snow, hot heat). Then discuss how you’d adapt if there was a Flood or Earthquake. Recite Outdoor code and Leave No Trace Principles ◦ Tip: A “Repeat After Me” scenario works great here List all the ways you demonstrated being careful outside. ◦ Tip: This activity could occur at a different time than the actual outdoor event. Council Fire (Duty to Country) Participate in a Flag Ceremony Talk with a military veteran, law enforcement officer, or fire department about their service to the community. Learn how to properly care for and fold a flag ◦ Tip: YouTube is a great option for virtual viewing. You can watch any video, but this one has great step by step directions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcOWc5EJbVo Participate in a community service project ◦ Tip: Mayflower Council is suggesting packs create a Scouting for Food drive thru or drop off event for your local pantry. Have all kids write a thank you note for visitor. Duty to God Footsteps Visit a religious monument and discuss how it makes you feel reverent or helps you better understand your duty to God. Discuss what it means to do your duty to god. Share how you do this in your daily life. Offer a group prayer or meditation. Learn a song that can be sung in reverence before or after meals to offer encouragement or demonstrates your duty to God. Most units have cubs complete this adventure at home with a parent. Howling at the Moon Show you can communicate in two different ways (facial expressions, gestures, pointing, writing, drawing, touch, etc.) Discuss what a campfire is, have scouts create an original skit and practice it at least once. Perform skits for den ◦ Tip: If you do this virtually, have scouts turn in skits via video and combine all skits into one show. Host a Campfires ◦ Tip: Campfires can be done face to face or virtually. If done virtually suggest everyone share a smores recipe, or bring a snack to the computer. Paws on the Path Discuss safe hiking and what 6 essentials are needed in your daypack. Discuss buddy system and why its used. Describe what should be done if you get separated from group. Choose appropriate clothing for hike based on weather. ◦ Tip: If done virtually, you could make a scavenger hunt out of it –go get something you’d bring if it rained (raincoat, umbrella), was really hot (hat, sunscreen), etc.

  • Wolf Hybrids
    Wolf Hybrids By Claudine Wilkins and Jessica Rock, Founders of Animal Law Source™ DEFINITION By definition, the wolf-dog hybrid is a cross between a domestic dog (Canis familiaris) and a wild Wolf (Canis Lupus). Wolves are the evolutionary ancestor of dogs. Dogs evolved from wolves through thousands of years of adaptation, living and being selectively bred and domesticated by humans. Because dogs and wolves are evolutionarily connected, dogs and wolves can breed together. Although this cross breeding can occur naturally, it is a rare occurrence in the wild due to the territorial and aggressive nature of wolves. Recently, the breeding of a dog with a wolf has become an accepted new phenomenon because wolf-hybrids are considered to be exotic and prestigious to own. To circumvent the prohibition against keeping wolves as pets, enterprising people have gone underground and are breeding and selling wolf-dog hybrids in their backyards. Consequently, an increase in the number of hybrids are being possessed without the minimum public safeguards required for the common domestic dog. TRAITS OF DOGS AND WOLVES Since wolf hybrids are a genetic mixture of wolves and dogs, they can seem to be similar on the surface. However, even though both may appear to be physically similar, there are many behavioral differences between wolves and dogs. Wolves raised in the wild appear to fear humans and will avoid contact whenever possible. Wolves raised in captivity are not as fearful of humans. This suggests that such fear may be learned rather than inherited. Dogs, on the other hand, socialize quite readily with humans, often preferring human company to that of other dogs.

    Use of Analgesics in Exotic Felids Formatted: Centered Edward C. Ramsay, DVM Professor, Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, University of Tennessee, and Consulting Veterinarian, Knoxville Zoological Gardens, Knoxville, Tennessee. Corresponding address: Ed Ramsay Dept. of Sm Animal Clin Sci C247, Veterinary Teaching Hospital University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN 37996-4544 Phone: 865-755-8219 FAX: 865-974-5554 Email: [email protected] 2 Treatment of pain in domestic and non-domestic cats has been a challenge for the clinician. Many cat species are stoic and show few or very subtle external signs of pain. Additionally, the adverse effects of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in domestic cats are well documented and have discouraged many practitioners from trying novel NSAID’s in exotic felids. As in other animals, each cat’s response to pain and analgesics will vary, necessitating an individualized treatment plan. As a rule, always treat painful felids to effect, and not by rote reliance on published dosages. It is frequently necessary to try different agents and combinations to find which produces the optimal analgesic effect in exotic felids. In order to minimize adverse effects, it is desirable to work toward treatment with the lowest effective dose when treating chronic pain. Non-steroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs NSAIDs are antiinflammatory drugs which act both centrally and peripherally. The primary effects are believed to be caused by their ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes in the arachidonic acid metabolism cascade. The COX-1 isoform is regarded as constitutive (continuously expressed) and is responsible for many homeostatic processes, such as maintenance of gastric mucosal integrity, platelet function, and renal autoregulation.

In 2017, with support from the WildCats Conservation Alliance (WCCA), we continued our monitoring program by deploying 50 pairs of camera traps in Hunchun Nature Reserve (HNR) to cover approximately 450 km2 of key habitat for Amur tigers and leopards. The camera trap monitoring period covered about 25,000 trap nights and resulted in about 50,000 images and videos of wildlife and human activity, of which 700 images and videos were of 10 leopards and 13 tigers. Seven of these leopards and eight of these tigers were new to our camera traps. By combining data with partners collecting data across the entirety of the park, we identified 20 different leopard individuals (9 males, 5 females, and 6 of unknown sex), and 18 different tiger individuals (5 males, 5 females, and 8 of unknown sex) in HNR.

  • Prey Preference and Dietary Overlap of Sympatric Snow Leopard and Tibetan Wolf in Central Part of Wangchuck Centennial National Park
    Prey Preference and Dietary overlap of Sympatric Snow leopard and Tibetan Wolf in Central Part of Wangchuck Centennial National Park Yonten Jamtsho Wangchuck Centennial National Park Department of Forest and Park Services Ministry of Agriculture and Forest 2017 Abstract Snow leopards have been reported to kill livestock in most parts of their range but the extent of this predation and its impact on local herders is poorly understood. There has been even no effort in looking at predator-prey relationships and often we make estimates of prey needs based on studies from neighboring regions. Therefore this study is aimed at analysing livestock depredation, diets of snow leopard and Tibetan wolf and its implication to herder’s livelihood in Choekhortoe and Dhur region of Wangchuck Cetennial National Park. Data on the livestock population, frequency of depredation, and income lost were collected from a total of 38 respondents following census techniques. In addition scats were analysed to determine diet composition and prey preferences. The results showed 38 herders rearing 2815 heads of stock with average herd size of 74.07 stocks with decreasing trend over the years due to depredation. As a result Choekhortoe lost 8.6% while Dhur lost 5.07% of total annual income. Dietary analysis showed overlap between two species indicated by Pianka index value of 0.83 for Dhur and 0.96 for Choekhortoe. The prey preference for snow leopard and Tibetan wolf are domestic sheep and blue sheep respectively, where domestic sheep is an income for herders and blue sheep is important for conservation of snow leopard.
