Imagine you are out in the bushveld with only the moon shining down on you. You shine your torch into the darkness and find different eyes looking back at you. How many of these nocturnal animals can you spot: The eyes of night creatures seen in the torchlight might look really strange, but fireflies there are clues you can use to work out which animal is behind the eyes. lions bushbabies impalas LARGE RED EYES, LOOKING FORWARD AND APPEARING TO JUMP wolf spiders These are they eyes of bushbabies, which reflect a reddish colour as they jump among the branches of trees and African wildcats? ‘HEADLIGHT’ EYES THAT SHINE GREEN AND WHITE, MOVING CLOSE TO THE GROUND These are the eyes of little predators, such as civets, genets and African wildcats LARGE EYES, LOOKING FORWARD AND SHINING RED These eyes belong to the larger predators, such as leopards, lions and hyaenas GREENISH EYES, WIDELY SPACED These are an antelope’s eyes – you can tell they belong to a herbivore (plant eating animal) because of their position, on either side of the head. They shine green in the torchlight TINY EYES ON THE GROUND These are the eyes of the wolf spider, which lies quietly on the ground, waiting to run down its prey MAGIC LIGHTS These are fireflies, bright, flashing lights in the night sky. Fireflies use light to communicate. Game Drive 1 6 1 Collective Nouns THE BAT MAZE 7 1. A of cheetahs alliance 2. A of elephants business 3. A of giraffe rank 4. A of porcupines zeal 5.

  • The Ancients' One-Horned
    The Ancients’ One-Horned Ass: Accuracy and Consistency Chris Lavers HIS PAPER explores ancient Greek and Roman accounts of the one-horned ass.1 These narratives have been studied extensively by literary scholars and historians but have Tbeen largely ignored by zoologists and geographers. When the zoological and geographical underpinnings of the accounts are examined, however, it becomes apparent that these ancient writers may have had a more definite notion of the region about which they wrote than hitherto has been assumed. The animals contributing to the descriptions of the one-horned ass by Ctesias, Pliny, and Aelian can be found in the highlands of Central Asia. Indeed, Central Asia appears to be the only place on the Earth’s surface that could have given rise to the corpus of ancient accounts of the unicorned ass and the animals that shared its landscape. 1. Introduction Ctesias of Cnidus was a Greek physician who spent seventeen years ministering at the court of the King of Persia. In 398 B.C. he returned to Greece and began two reference works, a history of Persia in twenty-three volumes, now mostly lost, and Indica, a treatise on the region probably roughly coincident with 1 It will quickly become apparent to regular readers of this journal that the author is not a classicist. I am greatly indebted to Kent Rigsby, the editorial board of GRBS, and an anonymous reviewer for considering a manuscript from a zoologist, and for their kind assistance in turning a clumsy initial submission into the present, less clumsy version. All opinions and errors are mine.

    La Brea and Beyond: The Paleontology of Asphalt-Preserved Biotas Edited by John M. Harris Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Science Series 42 September 15, 2015 Cover Illustration: Pit 91 in 1915 An asphaltic bone mass in Pit 91 was discovered and exposed by the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science and Art in the summer of 1915. The Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History resumed excavation at this site in 1969. Retrieval of the “microfossils” from the asphaltic matrix has yielded a wealth of insect, mollusk, and plant remains, more than doubling the number of species recovered by earlier excavations. Today, the current excavation site is 900 square feet in extent, yielding fossils that range in age from about 15,000 to about 42,000 radiocarbon years.

  • Detomidine and Butorphanol for Standing Sedation in a Range of Zoo-Kept Ungulate Species
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine 48(3): 616–626, 2017 Copyright 2017 by American Association of Zoo Veterinarians DETOMIDINE AND BUTORPHANOL FOR STANDING SEDATION IN A RANGE OF ZOO-KEPT UNGULATE SPECIES Tim Bouts, D.V.M., M.Sc., Dip. E.C.Z.M., Joanne Dodds, V.N., Karla Berry, V.N., Abdi Arif, M.V.Sc., Polly Taylor, Vet. M. B., Ph. D., Dip. E.C.V.A.A., Andrew Routh, B. V. Sc., Cert. Zoo. Med., and Frank Gasthuys, D.V.M., Ph. D., Dip. E.C.V.A.A. Abstract: General anesthesia poses risks for larger zoo species, like cardiorespiratory depression, myopathy, and hyperthermia. In ruminants, ruminal bloat and regurgitation of rumen contents with potential aspiration pneumonia are added risks. Thus, the use of sedation to perform minor procedures is justified in zoo animals. A combination of detomidine and butorphanol has been routinely used in domestic animals. This drug combination, administered by remote intramuscular injection, can also be applied for standing sedation in a range of zoo animals, allowing a number of minor procedures. The combination was successfully administered in five species of nondomesticated equids (Przewalski horse [Equus ferus przewalskii; n ¼ 1], onager [Equus hemionus onager; n ¼ 4], kiang [Equus kiang; n ¼ 3], Grevy’s zebra [Equus grevyi; n ¼ 4], and Somali wild ass [Equus africanus somaliensis; n ¼ 7]), with a mean dose range of 0.10–0.17 mg/kg detomidine and 0.07–0.13 mg/kg butorphanol; the white (Ceratotherium simum simum; n ¼ 12) and greater one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis; n ¼ 4), with a mean dose of 0.015 mg/kg of both detomidine and butorphanol; and Asiatic elephant bulls (Elephas maximus; n ¼ 2), with a mean dose of 0.018 mg/kg of both detomidine and butorphanol.

  • Tapir Tracks Dear Educator
    TAPIR TRACKS A Curriculum Guide for Educators 2 Tapir Tracks Dear Educator, Welcome to Tapir Tracks! This curriculum was created for classroom teachers and educators at zoos and other nonformal science learning centers to enable you and your students to discover tapirs of the Americas and Asia. Because tapirs spread seeds from the fruits they eat, these little-known mammals are essential to the health of the forests they inhabit. However, tapir populations are rapidly declining. Loss of their habitat and hunting threaten tapir survival. An international team of scientists and conservationists works to study wild tapirs, manage the zoo-based population, protect habitat, and educate local communities. We collaborate through the Tapir Specialist Group, of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission. This packet includes background information along with lesson plans and activities that can easily be adapted for kindergarten, elementary and secondary school students (grades K-12). An online link is included for you to download images and videos to use in your teaching: http://tapirs.org/resources/educator-resources. This toolkit is designed to enable you to meet curriculum requirements in multiple subjects. Students can explore the world’s tapirs through science, environmental studies, technology, social studies, geography, the arts and creative writing activities. We hope that by discovering tapirs through these lessons and engaging activities that students will care and take action to protect tapirs

  • Bill Analysis for File Copy
    OLR Bill Analysis sSB 925 AN ACT PROHIBITING THE IMPORT, SALE AND POSSESSION OF AFRICAN ELEPHANTS, LIONS, LEOPARDS, BLACK RHINOCEROS, WHITE RHINOCEROS AND GIRAFFES. SUMMARY This bill generally bans importing, possessing, selling, offering for sale, or transporting in Connecticut a specimen (dead or alive) of any of six types of African animals, which the bill collectively refers to as the “big six African species.” It applies to certain elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, and two rhinoceros species. The bill establishes a graduated penalty structure for violations, ranging from no penalty for someone who, unaware and in good faith, violates the ban, to a class D felony for someone with at least two prior violations subject to penalty. In all cases, the bill requires seizing the specimen and any other property or item used in connection with the violation. The specimen, property, or item is then forfeited and, unless the specimen is alive, destroyed. The bill contains several exemptions, including for a specimen that is already legally in the state or distributed to a beneficiary or heir, as long as the owner or distributee timely obtains a certificate of possession from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). The ban also does not apply to fossils and ivory and the following under certain conditions: circuses; museums; zoological institutions; and motion picture, television, or digital media production companies. Lastly, the bill specifies that the ban does not prohibit transporting through the state endangered or threatened species subject to the terms of another state’s permit, which existing law allows. The United States regulates the trade of the species covered by the Researcher: KLM Page 1 5/8/21 2021SB-00925-R010637-BA.DOCX bill, except the African giraffe, through the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and laws such as the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C.

Lytic replication and latency with subsequent reactivation, along with new episodes of disease, can be influenced by genetic diversity generated by spontaneous mutation and recombination. Latency enhances virus survival by providing an epidemiological strategy for long-term maintenance of divergent strains in animal populations. The alphaherpesviruses equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) and 9 (EHV-9) have recently been shown to cross species barriers, including a recombinant EHV-1 observed in fatal infections of a polar bear and Asian rhinoceros.

  • Giraffe Rhinoceros Elephant Orangutan Sea Turtle Snow Leopard Gorilla
    Monday Spelling This week you will be practising the spelling of different endangered animals. giraffe rhinoceros When you are practising these words, use the strategies that you have learnt in class: elephant orangutan Read the words sea turtle snow leopard Identify the tricky part Practising in different ways (e.g. rain- bow writing; capital letters, pyramid gorilla pangolin words; look, say, cover, write, check). Task 1 Carefully write the spelling of each animal under its picture. Monday continued Handwriting Task 2 Write a simple fact about each of the animals you are learning for your spellings using your neatest, joined handwriting. The sentences do not need to be long - concentrate on your presentation and using the correct spelling. For example: Elephants have a long trunk. Pangolins are scaly. Snow leopards are fluffy. Tuesday Reading: note-taking Note-taking is an extremely important skill to learn. When you take notes, you do not copy down every piece of information. Instead, you record the most important facts which are the bits you don’t want to forget. For example: Below is an extract taken from a website about tigers: Tiger Tigers can reach a length of up to 11 feet (3.3 metres) and weigh as much as 720 pounds (330 kilograms). That’s heavier than a piano. Have you ever tried to lift a piano? Don’t do it alone as you’ll probably hurt yourself. That is one heavy cat. Imagine your cat at home being as big as that, there would be no space for them! To take notes on this piece of text, we need to work out what the most important bits of information are.
