In the isolation area, in the pen housing four adult goats and their six kids, there was a wire fence panel at the back of the enclosure that had a gap between it and the wall behind it. The height of the wire panel and the spacing between it and the wall was such that it could pose a risk of a goat getting stuck or getting its head or a leg stuck. The gap poses a potential risk of injury to the goats. The wire panel placement should be fixed or the panel should be removed to prevent possible injury of the animals. In the enclosure housing eight bison there is a shed with two metal bumper-type railings attached to the posts on either side. On one side it was observed that the lower railing attached to only three posts and the end of the railing stopped halfway between the third and fourth posts creating a gap. The end of the railing looked sharp and had pointed edges. The upper railing on the same side ended between the first and second posts leaving a gap in a similar manner. It was also near eye level of the bison. The exposed ends of the railings could potentially pose a risk of injury to the bison if they run into the sharp ends or trip on the lower rung. The railings attached to the shed posts should be modified, repaired or replaced so that there are no sharp or pointed ends that might injure the bison. 3.129 REPEAT FEEDING. There is a public feeding tube provided at the bear enclosure housing the four bears. The tube is a white PVC pipe in which the public is allowed to drop food to feed the bears. The inside surface of the pipe has a buildup of food residue or grime that will contaminate food delivered through the tube. Contamination poses a health risk. All food receptacles shall be kept clean and sanitary to prevent contamination and protect the health of the bears. 3.131(a) BRENDA PIETROSANTE, A C I Prepared By: Date: BRENDA PIETROSANTE USDA, APHIS, Animal Care 15-DEC-2016 Title: ANIMAL CARE INSPECTOR 6011 Received By: (b)(6), (b)(7)(c) Date: Title: DIRECTOR 15-DEC-2016 Page 1 of 2 BPIETROSANTE United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 2016082568041436 Insp_id Inspection Report SANITATION. Parts of the bobcat enclosure have not been adequately cleaned.

  • Demography of the Giant Otter (Pteronura Brasiliensis) in Manu National Park, South-Eastern Peru: Implications for Conservation
    Demography of the Giant Otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) in Manu National Park, South-Eastern Peru: Implications for Conservation Jessica Groenendijk1,3,5*, Frank Hajek2,5, Paul J. Johnson3, David W. Macdonald3, Jorge Calvimontes4,5, Elke Staib5, Christof Schenck5 1 San Diego Zoo Global Peru, Department of Cusco, Cusco, Peru´, 2 Nature Services Peru, Department of Cusco, Cusco, Peru´, 3 Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, University of Oxford, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, 4 Environmental Studies and Research Center, University of Campinas, Sa˜o Paulo, Brazil, 5 Frankfurt Zoological Society, Frankfurt, Germany Abstract The giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) is an endangered semi-aquatic carnivore of South America. We present findings on the demography of a population inhabiting the floodplain of Manu National Park, south-eastern Peru, arising from 14 annual dry season censuses over a 16 year period. The breeding system of territorial groups, including only a single breeding female with non-reproductive adult ‘helpers’, resulted in a low intrinsic rate of increase (0.03) and a slow recovery from decades of hunting for the pelt trade. This is explained by a combination of factors: (1) physiological traits such as late age at first reproduction and long generation time, (2) a high degree of reproductive skew, (3) small litters produced only once a year, and (4) a 50% mortality between den emergence and age of dispersal, as well as high mortality amongst dispersers (especially males). Female and male giant otters show similar traits with respect to average reproductive life- spans (female 5.4 yrs., male 5.2 yrs.) and average cub productivity (female 6.9, male 6.7 cubs per lifetime); the longest reproductive life spans were 11 and 13 years respectively.

  • Giant Mustelids Roamed South Africa 5 Million Years Ago - Study
    1 June 2020 Giant mustelids roamed South Africa 5 million years ago - study Over five million years ago wolf-sized otters and leopard-sized relatives of living wolverines (members of the weasel family that look more like badgers than wolves) lived along the West Coast of South Africa. This is according to recent discoveries by scientists at the University of Cape Town (UCT) and Iziko Museums of SA. These animals known as mustelids – a family of carnivorans that include weasels, otters and badgers among others – represent the first mustelid specimens described from Langebaanweg in over 40 years. In an article published in the journal PeerJ, Dr Alberto Valenciano and Dr Romala Govender of UCT’s Department of Biological Sciences, describe the teeth, forelimb and hindlimb skeletons of these giant mustelids: the wolf-sized otter (Sivaonyx hendeyi) and the leopard-sized wolverine (Plesiogulo aff. monspesulanus). “Our work has led to important new data about the locomotion and diet of the rather poorly known giant otter (Sivaonyx hendeyi), that is unique to Langebaanweg. In addition, we confirm that Langebaanweg’s wolverine (Plesiogulo aff. Monspesulanus), is a different species to that of the large bodied Plesiogulo botori from Kenya and Ethiopia,” shared Valenciano. The carnivores at the Langebaanweg fossil locality are quite common and they include a minimum of 20 different species of mustelids, bears, seals, jackals, hyenas, saber-tooth cats, giant civets and mongoose. “We report for the first time the presence of both giant mustelids in the main members at Langebaanweg,” Govender added. The team hypothesises that the wolf-sized otter (Sivaonyx hendeyi), that lived five million years ago, had a role similar to that of the living African clawless otter and the Asian small- clawed otter.

    1599 Physical Feature, Physiological Character and Behavior Study of Gayal (Bos frontalis) M. Giasuddin* and M. R. Islam Animal Health Research Division, Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute, Savar, Dhaka-1341, Bangladesh ABSTRACT : The physical feature, physiological character and behavior studies were conducted with fifteen newly collected gayals in Bandarban hill tract area of Bangladesh. Their morphology is different from domestic cattle. The range of pulse rate, body temperature and respiration rate were 47 to 75 per minute, 37.78 to 38.88°C and 20 to 40 per minute, respectively. These physiological values vary with different age group and seasonal variation. In hematological feature, the average findings were RBC 7.01±0.52 million/cu.mm, WBC 14.3±3.69 thousand/cu.mm, hemoglobin concentration 9.81±2.25 gm%, PCV 35.86±3.68%. In differential WBC count neutrophils 28.23±1.75 %, lymphocytes 62±2.05 %, monocytes 4.4±1.34%, eosinophils 5±2.49% and basophils 0.4±0.51%. In behavior study, the animal shows browsing nature on hill slopes. They are watchful in new environment, become excited and nervous with strangers.

The Gayal (Bos frontalis) is an important semi- wild bovid species and of great conservation concern, but so far these indel polymorphisms have not been evaluated in Gayal animals. Therefore we collected samples of 225 Gayals and evaluated the genetic indel polymorphism in the two regions of this PRNP gene. The results revealed high allelic frequencies of insertions at these indel sites: 0.909 and 0.667 for respectively the 23 bp and 12 bp indels, both also with significant genotype frequencies (χ2-9.81; 23 bp and χ2-43.56; 12 bp). At the same time, the haplotype data showed indel polymorphisms with extremely low deletion (0.01) in both regions of the PRNP gene. We compared these data with those reported for healthy and BSE affected cattle (Bos taurus) breeds from two European countries, Germany and Switzerland, and significant difference (p<0.001) was observed from BSE affected as well as the healthy cattle.
