Box 168, Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190, USA Abstract: The negative impacts on bears (Ursus spp.) from human activities associated with roads and developments are well documented. These impacts include displacement of bears from high-quality foods and habitats, diminished habitat effectiveness, and reduced survival rates. Additionally, increased public visitations to national parks accompanied with benign encounters with bears along park roads have caused more bears to habituate to the presence of people. In some contexts, habituation can predispose bears to being exposed to and rewarded by anthropogenic foods, which can also lower survival rates. The managers and staff of Yellowstone National Park located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, USA, and Grand Teton National Park in northwestern Wyoming, USA have implemented several proactive strategies to mitigate the negative aspects of bear habituation. These strategies include providing park visitors with educational information on bear viewing etiquette, managing roadside viewing opportunities, installing bear-resistant infrastructure, hazing bears from developments, enforcing food and garbage storage regulations, and making human activities as predictable as possible to bears.

  • American Black Bear (Ursus Americanus)
    FIELD GUIDE TO NORTH AMERICAN MAMMALS American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) ORDER: Carnivora FAMILY: Ursidae Most Black Bears hibernate for up to seven months, and do not eat, drink, urinate, or exercise the entire time. In the South, where plant food is available all year, not all bears hibernate—but pregnant females do. The female gives birth to 1−6 cubs (usually 2 or 3) in January, while she is deep asleep in her den. The newborn cubs Ursus americanus − eastern, black variant snuggle next to her for warmth and nurse while she fasts. They grow Credit: painting by Consie Powell from Kays and Wilson's Mammals of North America, © Princeton University Press from a birth weight of 200−450 g each (about 7−16 pounds) to the (2002) 2−5 kg they will weigh when the family leaves the den in the spring. Black Bears eat a little meat, and some insects, but they rely on fruit, nuts, and vegetation for the bulk of their nutritional needs. They are not all black. Most are, with brown muzzles, but in some western forests they are brown, cinnamon, or blond, and a few, in southern Alaska and British Columbia, are creamy white or bluish−gray. Also known as: Many common names are given to the many subspecies that have been described, such as: Olympic Black Bear, Glacier Bear, California Black Bear, Florida Black Bear. Sexual Dimorphism: The largest males may be nearly twice as heavy as the heaviest females. Length: Range: 1,44−2,000 mm males; 1,200−1,600 mm females Weight: Average: 120 kg males; 80 kg females Range: 47−409 kg males; 39−236 kg females http://www.mnh.si.edu/mna 1 FIELD GUIDE TO NORTH AMERICAN MAMMALS Brown Bear, Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos) ORDER: Carnivora FAMILY: Ursidae Conservation Status: The Mexican Grizzly Bear, Ursus arcos nelsoni, is Extinct.

The Velociraptor flat on its back, its clawed arm caught in the jaws of the Protoceratops, an extraordinary fossil, a mysterious glimpse of life and death in the Age of Dinosaurs. 01:01:42.03 GRAPHICS ON SCREEN Dinosaurs Alive 01:02:03.25 Host VO For more than 150 million years, dinosaurs roamed every corner of the planet. Only a very few left evidence of their existence, their fossilized bones. 01:02:18.21 Host VO And those bones never cease to fascinate us. 01:02:34.11 Host VO Dinosaurs came in amazing shapes and sizes. Some were the largest animals ever to walk the earth. 01:02:52.08 Host VO Paleontologists, the scientists who study prehistoric life, are discovering more dinosaurs now than ever before. And this fossil evidence is allowing them to reconstruct not only their strange skeletons but also their lives. 01:03:11.29 Host VO An example is this gigantic long-necked, plant- eater known as Seismosaurus.

Ortelius was a great compiler of newly discovered geographical facts and information. His New World mapping is also a study in early conjecture, including a generous northwest passage below the Terra Septentrionalis Incognita, and a projection of the St. Lawrence reaching to the middle of the continent. Ortelius’s map includes Terra Australis Nondum Cognita, reflecting the misconception held at the time of a massive southern continent, that incorporates Tierra del Fuego in this southern polar region rather than in South America. The relatively unknown regions across Northeast Asia distort the outline of Japan considerably. In the North Atlantic, the outline of Scandinavia is skewed, and Greenland appears very close to Abraham Ortelius (1528–1598). “Typus Orbis Terrarum,” (Antwerp: 1570). First Edition.

A Federal Agency Catalogue Designed by David Berreth Printed by The Brunswick Publishing Co. Brunswick, Maine FOREWORD This catalogue and the exhibition Nineteenth Century American Paintings at Bowdoin College begin a new chapter in the development of the Bow- doin College Museum of Art. For many years, the Colonial and Federal portraits have hung in the Bowdoin Gallery as a permanent exhibition. It is now time to recognize that nineteenth century American art has come into its own. Thus, the Walker Gallery, named in honor of the donor of the Museum building in 1892, will house the permanent exhi- bition of nineteenth century American art; a fitting tribute to the Misses Walker, whose collection forms the basis of the nineteenth century works at the College. When renovations are complete, the Bowdoin and Boyd Galleries will be refurbished to house permanent installations similar to the Walker Gal- lery's. During the renovations, the nineteenth century collection will tour in various other museiniis before it takes its permanent home. My special thanks and congratulations go to David S. Berreth, who developed the original idea for the exhibition to its present conclusion. His talent for exhibition installation and ability to organize catalogue materials will be apparent to all.

Chinasaurs: Dinosaur Discoveries from China Opens January 26, 2013 at Bruce Museum Szechuanosaurus Szechuan Province, China Late Jurassic Period, 160 to 144 million years ago Since the first paleontological expedition to Mongolia by Roy Chapman Andrews of the American Museum of Natural History in the 1920s, the allure of discovering exotic Asian dinosaurs has been the dream of every paleontologist. Subsequently, dinosaurs from China have been unearthed revealing their relationships to birds as evidenced by the presence of feathers together with scales. Several of the most spectacular of these dinosaurs are coming to the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, beginning January 26 and continuing through April 21, 2013. Chinasaurs: Dinosaur Discoveries from China welcomes visitors to walk among the skeletons, skulls, nests and eggs of more than a dozen of these rare Asian dinosaurs. From the huge 32-foot long, meat- eating Yangchuanosaurus to the gazelle-sized plant eaters such as Psittacosaurus, the prehistoric fossils of the Far East provide an exciting experience for dinosaur enthusiasts. Skeletons of all sizes from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods tell the tale of dinosaur diversification and shifting continents. Maps, video and activity tables help visitors of all ages learn more about the specimens on view. One display features a Jurassic battle between the plated, plant-eating Tuojiangosaurus with a spiked tail and the large meat-eating Monolophosaurus with teeth like steak Page 1 of 3 Press Release knives.
