Paper Sessions 41St National AAZK Conference Orlando, FL Pro]__^ings of th_ 41st N[tion[l Conf_r_n]_ of th_ @m_ri][n @sso]i[tion of Zoo K__p_rs, In]. "KEEPERS MAKING A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE" Paper Sessions 41st National AAZK Conference Orlando, FL September 8-12, 2014 Welcome to the 41st American Association of Zoo Keepers National Conference “Keepers Making a World of Difference” Hosted by the Greater Orlando AAZK Chapter & Disney’s Animal Kingdom Our Chapter is thrilled by this opportunity to welcome you to our world! The members have been working hard to ensure that the 2014 AAZK Conference will be an experience you will always remember. This year’s conference will allow you to enjoy the Walt Disney World Resort, while connecting and developing profes- sionally with your colleagues from animal institutions around the globe. In partnership with your national AAZK Professional Development Committee, we are excited to bring you a varied program of workshops, papers, and speakers as the foundation of your conference experience. Addi- tionally, the AAZK, Inc. Specialized Training Workshop Series will debut “The Core Elements of Zoo Keeping” and an in-depth Hospital/Quarantine workshop. These featured programs are a track of AAZK’s Certification Series, brought to you in collaboration with AAZK Online Learning. Highlights of this year’s conference will include an Epcot icebreaker in The Seas with Nemo and Friends pavil- ion, followed by a dessert party with an exclusive viewing area for the nighttime spectacular, “Illuminations: Reflections of Earth.” We are also pleased to present a distinctive zoo day, which will take you “behind the magic” at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Our chapter, along with Disney’s Animal Science & Environment team, has planned an array of very special experiences designed just for you. While zoos seek to “educate and entertain” their guests and inspire them to conservation action, our goal for this conference is similar: to provide you with scheduled content that is educational, entertaining, and inspir- ing . With valuable learning experiences, networking, and development opportunities for the zoo profession- al, all in the unique setting of the “Happiest Place on Earth,” this year’s conference is an exciting chance to celebrate all animal keepers, who truly make a “world of difference.” Conference Donors Thank you to the 2014 National AAZK Conference Donors: Sponsor Disney’s Animals, Science and Education Dept. of Walt Disney World Welcome Packet Mazuri | www.mazuri.com Natural Encounters, Inc. | www.naturalencounters.com International Animal Exchange, Inc. | www.internationalanimalexchange.com Karen Pryor Clicker Training (KPCT) | www.clickertraining.com Auction eNasco | www.enasco.com Waterford Publishing Group | www.waterfordpress.com/ Zoo Med Laboratories, Inc. | www.zoomed.com SaveNature.org | www.SaveNature.org The Greater Orlando Chapter and Disney’s Animal Kingdom would like to say THANK YOU to our Exhibitors for joining us at the 41st Annual AAZK Conference: AAZK | aazk.org Action for Cheetahs in Kenya | http://www.actionforcheetahs.com/ Animal Care Equipment and Services | animal-care.com Conservation Committee AAZK | https://www.facebook.com/AAZKinc.ConservationCommittee HayDay, LLC | http://www.stablegrazer.com/ International Congress of Zoo Keepers | iczoo.org Mazuri | www.mazuri.com Memphis AAZK Chapter | www.memphiszoo.org/aazk PBI | polarbearsinternational.org Prosimian TAG and Ring-tailed lemur SSP | www.prosimiantag.org Snow Leopard Trust | snowleopard.org SR Scales | www.srinstruments.com St. Louis AAZK Chapter | www.facebook.com/St.LouisAAZK Sustainable Swine Resources | http://www.sustainableswineresources.com/ Waterford Publishing | www.waterfordpress.com ZAA | zaa.org Tuesday, September 9 BFR Papers Lewa Paper Action for Cheetahs (Wykstra) BFR RALLY BFR 2014 Conservation Resource Grant Update (Lenhart) Making a difference with AAZK's BFR (Pearthree) World Rhino Vision (Konstant) Extended Paper Session A Milestone in Conservation & Husbandry.

Submitted By: Mike Watson [email protected] July, 2014. 1 AAZK Contribution Report – 2014 PROGRAMMATIC AND FINANCIAL REPORT LEWA WILDLIFE CONSERVANCY RHINO CONSERVATION PROGRAM July 2013 - June 2014 The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy remains extremely indebted for the financial support from America Association of Zoo Keepers (AAZK) through the very successful Bowling for Rhino (BFR) events. AAZK has contributed US$ 209,525 towards Lewa’s rhino protection and security operations over the past one year. These funds cumulatively make up about 15% of Lewa’s rhino conservation program budget. By supporting Lewa, home to 12% and 14% of Kenya’s black and white rhino respectively, AAZK is directly helping to ensure the survival of these endangered species. The below report outlines how AAZK’s generous funds were put into use over the reporting period, to enable Lewa to undertake its rhino conservation and security programs through supporting armed anti- poaching units, tracker dog units, aerial surveillance, ranger salaries, vehicle running costs and radio communication center. Rhino Conservation Programme (Waiwai and her 2.2 year old calf) In 2013 alone, Lewa lost a total of 6 rhinos to poachers while in 2014 to date, no rhino have been lost; with great efforts greatly employed to deter any poaching within the conservancy. The poaching threat continues to escalate to heights never experienced before mainly due to demand for rhino horn and elephant ivory that continues to rise, reaching the highest levels in history. This dramatic increase is the result of a variety of factors, most notably the growing purchasing power of Middle East and Asian populations, and the sophistication of organized poaching gangs who sell wildlife products to black market syndicates in a range countries. 2 AAZK Contribution Report – 2014 There are great steps being taken by the government and other stake holders to curb poaching ; Within the last five months of 2014-- there has been reduction in rhino poaching across different parts of the country, although still rife in other parts of the country such as in the Lake Nakuru national park and some other conservancies who have experienced significant losses in the numbers of rhino as a result of poaching activities. Lewa’s impressive anti-poaching track record is well known throughout the conservation world, and can be attributed to the attention to detail and constant adaptation to meet the ever growing and changing threats from poaching. Lewa strives to addresses conceivable angles of threat to its' flagship species through the daily monitoring of each rhino, vigilant observation of all entry points and conservancy boundaries, constant maintenance of the fence line, regular aerial surveillance, and continuous training of all security forces and canine units in preparedness for any potential eventuality that would pose a threat to the conservancy’s resident wildlife. Kenya Police Reservists (KPR) Armed Anti-Poaching Teams (KPR team during a training exercise with trainer Pete Newland) 33 members of Lewa’s 150-person security team are categorized as Kenya Police Reservists (KPR), meaning that they are trained and employed by Lewa, but licensed and approved by the Kenyan government to carry firearms and respond to incidences of instability or violence throughout the region. Lewa's teams are deployed on a daily basis to different locations to ensure greater coverage of the

    In September 2014, the world will hear the voices of the youth speaking out against rhino poaching and the decimation of other endangered species at the inaugural !

Wildlife crime is the fourth About the World Youth Rhino Summit most profitable illegal trade in Wildlife crime has exploded in recent years to meet the increasing demand for the world after drugs, arms rhino horn, elephant ivory and tiger products, particularly in Asia. The rhino and human trafficking, poaching crisis affecting South Africa and other African and Asian rhino range estimated at US$19 billion states is now recognised as a worldwide wildlife emergency. The brutal killing of rhinos - particularly in South Africa - is being driven by global criminal syndicates, many with links to international terrorism and narcotics cartels. Equally as important as fighting the front-line battles, improving anti-poaching operations and global law enforcement efforts to counter wildlife crime, is the need for a critical mass of support that will drive informed global awareness of the value of rhinos, not just economically but also their value to Africa’s and Asia’s heritage and biodiversity in the decades to come. This is taking shape and significantly: tens of thousands of young people !in South Africa, other African states and internationally are calling for rhino poaching to be stopped.

    Nextinction ALL IMAGES ©RALPH STEADMAN IMAGES ALL 78 Book Excerpt Illustrations by Ralph Steadman and author Ceri Levy The Boids are back in town… The follow-up to the award- winning Extinct Boids, this book features more of the incredible Nextinction art of cartoonist Ralph Steadman. This time, the focus is not on the birds that are gone, but on the ones that there is still time left to save. These are the 192 critically endangered birds on the IUCN Red List, species such as the Giant Ibis, the Kakapo, the Sumatran Ground-cuckoo and the iconic Spoon-billed Sandpiper-- these, along with a number of classic Steadman creations such as the Unsociable Lapwing, are the Nearly-Extinct Boids. Words are again by author, conservationist, and filmmaker Ceri Levy. Together, Ceri and Ralph are THE GONZOVATIONISTS. A portion of the proceeds from this book will go to BirdLife International to help them prevent the Nextinction. RALPH STEADMAN was born in 1936. He began his career as a cartoonist, and through the years has diversified into many creative fields. Ralph collaborated with Dr. Hunter S. Thompson in the birth of ‘gonzo’ journalism, with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas; he has illustrated classics such as Alice in Wonderland, Treasure Island and Animal Farm, and written and illustrated his own books, which include Sigmund Freud, I Leonardo, and The Big I Am. Steadman is also a printmaker, and has travelled the world’s vineyards, culminating in his books The Grapes of Ralph, Untrodden Grapes and Still Life with Bottle.

  • Fossil Bovidae from the Malay Archipelago and the Punjab
    FOSSIL BOVIDAE FROM THE MALAY ARCHIPELAGO AND THE PUNJAB by Dr. D. A. HOOIJER (Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden) with pls. I-IX CONTENTS Introduction 1 Order Artiodactyla Owen 8 Family Bovidae Gray 8 Subfamily Bovinae Gill 8 Duboisia santeng (Dubois) 8 Epileptobos groeneveldtii (Dubois) 19 Hemibos triquetricornis Rütimeyer 60 Hemibos acuticornis (Falconer et Cautley) 61 Bubalus palaeokerabau Dubois 62 Bubalus bubalis (L.) subsp 77 Bibos palaesondaicus Dubois 78 Bibos javanicus (d'Alton) subsp 98 Subfamily Caprinae Gill 99 Capricornis sumatraensis (Bechstein) subsp 99 Literature cited 106 Explanation of the plates 11o INTRODUCTION The Bovidae make up a very large portion of the Dubois collection of fossil vertebrates from Java, second only to the Proboscidea in bulk. Before Dubois began his explorations in Java in 1890 we knew very little about the fossil bovids of that island. Martin (1887, p. 61, pl. VII fig. 2) described a horn core as Bison sivalensis Falconer (?); Bison sivalensis Martin has al• ready been placed in the synonymy of Bibos palaesondaicus Dubois by Von Koenigswald (1933, p. 93), which is evidently correct. Pilgrim (in Bron- gersma, 1936, p. 246) considered the horn core in question to belong to a Bibos species closely related to the banteng. Two further horn cores from Java described by Martin (1887, p. 63, pl. VI fig. 4; 1888, p. 114, pl. XII fig. 4) are not sufficiently well preserved to allow of a specific determination, although they probably belong to Bibos palaesondaicus Dubois as well. In a preliminary faunal list Dubois (1891) mentions four bovid species as occurring in the Pleistocene of Java, viz., two living species (the banteng and the water buffalo) and two extinct forms, Anoa spec.
