The mother giraffe was in a danger of dystocia more than 7 hours in labor after showing the calf’s toe of the foreleg which protruded from her vulva. After tugging with a snare of rope on the metacarpal bone of the calf and pulling it, the other toe emerged. Finally, with two snares around each of metacarpal bones, the calf was completely pulled out by zoo staff. After parturition, the dam was in normal condition for taking care of the calf and her progesterone hormone had also dropped down to a normal pre-pregnancy.

  • The Timbul Site, Bali, and the Transformations Project: Material Remains and Considerations of Chronology and Typology
    THE TIMBUL SITE, BALI, AND THE TRANSFORMATIONS PROJECT: MATERIAL REMAINS AND CONSIDERATIONS OF CHRONOLOGY AND TYPOLOGY Elisabeth A. Bacus Research Professor, University of Akron Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Timbul site, which a 2000 survey indicated had sig- nificant potential for the study of Bali's early states, was the focus of test excavations as part of the Transfor- mations in the Landscapes of South-Central Bali: An Ar- chaeological Investigation of Early Balinese States. This paper presents results of the analyses of the materials recovered from the 2004 excavations, their chronological information and an earthenware rim shape typology that is also tied to earthenware rim types from dated north coast sites. The excavated deposits, albeit limited, con- tribute further evidence of Bali's Early Metal period and rarely recovered settlement remains from possibly just prior to and during the early Classic period; these re- mains are discussed within the context of current archae- ological knowledge of these periods. INTRODUCTION South-central Bali (Figure 1), particularly the area be- tween the Pakerisan and Petanu rivers, is often considered to have been the center of the island's early states (Bernet Kempers 1991:114-115; Hobart et al. 1996:25). This area has yielded a high concentration of remains (e.g., bronze drums, carved stone sarcophagi) from the early complex societies of the mid/late-1st millennium BC to mid/late-1st millennium AD (Ardika 1987) and from the kingdoms of the Classic Period, particularly of the 11th to mid-14th cen- Figure 1 Location of the Timbul site tury AD.
