    Innocent Prisoner The Plight of Elephants Kept in Solitary Confinement in Europe 2013 Cover Photo Top: ©Daily Mail. Hand of Desperation – Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna with Pole Pole at London Zoo, 1983. Bottom: ©BFF. Hand of Hope? – Virginia McKenna with Twiggy at Belgrade Zoo, 2013 Foreword Although what follows here is a ‘report’, what some might regard as a dry presentation of facts, figures, dates and statistics, it is far more than that. Innocent Prisoner is about elephants – sensitive, emotional, social, family animals – and it has a particularly special significance for me. Thirty years ago this month, a teenage African elephant was ‘put to sleep’ at London Zoo. Her name was Pole Pole and my late husband Bill Travers and I had met her in 1968 when she joined us in Tsavo National Park, Kenya, where we were making a film for young people about elephants, An Elephant Called Slowly. Pole Pole had been torn from her wild family as a two year old – she was destined for London Zoo, as a gift from the then Kenyan Government. Filming over, we asked the authorities if we could buy her and give her to Senior Game Warden, David Sheldrick, and his wife Daphne. Our request was granted but we were told that another little elephant would have to be caught. One way or another, the Government’s promise to the Zoo would be honoured. Unthinkable. Pole Pole came to London Zoo. Fifteen years later, on October 17th 1983, she was put down. In the 30 years that have elapsed, many things have changed.

  • Alligators a to Z
    Alligators A to Z One of the most fascinating elements of a trip to the Louisiana coast is the chance to see alligators up close. Visitors can spot these reptiles during swamp tours, kayaking expeditions through bayous, stops at national parks and wildlife refuges … or even just driving down the highway. Here’s some basic information about this curious species: Alligator mississippiensis: The scientific name of the alligator found in the United States. The common name is “American alligator.” Bellowing: During mating season (in April and May), groups of gators will call to each other for a few minutes a few times each day, usually shortly after sunrise. Crocodile: This is a completely different species, and one not found in Louisiana. The only place where both alligators and crocodiles can be found is Florida. Death roll: Alligators consume smaller prey in a single bite. For larger prey, they bite and then thrash about to tear off more manageably sized pieces. In order to complete this “death roll,” the alligator must have a fully functional tail. El lagarto: A Spanish term meaning “the lizard,” which was what Spanish explorers and settlers called alligators when they first saw them in Florida. It was Anglicized into “allagarter” and then “alligator.” Fresh water: Alligators thrive best in an array of fresh‐water habitats, including ponds, rivers and swamps. A large number also live in intermediate and brackish water conditions, and some are even found in salt‐water environments. Gator hole: Alligators go through periods of dormancy called “brumation” – which is almost like hibernation – in cooler months.

  • SCHENGEN BEARS Mileta Prodanović I Have Told
    SCHENGEN BEARS Mileta Prodanović I have told this story at least hundred times. And every time, just like an ancient story-teller who is passing the glorious historical events to new generations, I would come up with some new details. The general idea was always the same, but each new telling gives a new and specific highlight, and the story picks up brand new, and for me unexpected point. Sometimes it focuses on bravery of its actors, and the next time it depicts the European Union as Immaculate, a protector-saint wearing a dark blue robe and halo made of golden stars, just like a caring mother concerned for our future even when she's bombing us. At first, I was reluctant to put the story on the paper, because once it is recorded it loses its unique breath of life - just like a butterfly that must be pinned down and killed first in order to take its eternal place in a glass showcase of some butterfly collection. Truth be told, the audience ready to listen to my story was becoming very small - everyone I know have already heard the story in some form - as an anecdote or an elaborate history full of details. I was certain that printed text would go much further then my voice, but undoubtedly, without the possibility of improvisation, the sensation would be dulled. Prehistory begins in mid 90s of the last century. It was a time when our beloved dictator, after signing the peace treaty, transformed in the eyes of the foreign media from «Balkan Ripper» into the «warrant of peace and stability in the region».

The posed problem, Belgrade is a city in the Balkan peninsula and has hosted different Empires through the centuries which formed a vivid cultural heritage. When thinking about a possible future identity, the city must cope with its complex history, present memories alive in the city and a range of different narratives that interweave with selfsame. Nevertheless, looking for a physical presence of Belgrade's vivid past, the Kalemegdan fortress, on the confluence of the river Sava and Danube, embodies such agglomeration. It was for centuries that Belgrade's population was concentrated only within the fortress walls. Thus, until most recent times, the fortress's history reflects on the history of Belgrade itself. Located in Belgrade's municipality of Stari Grad, it is the oldest section in the urban tissue and symbolic its core.

  • Systemic Granulomatous Pathology in Two Captive Alligator Mississippiensis
    Acta Veterinaria-Beograd 2019, 69 (3), 348-359 UDK: 598.149-12:616-002.7 Short communication DOI: 10.2478/acve-2019-0029 SYSTEMIC GRANULOMATOUS PATHOLOGY IN TWO CAPTIVE ALLIGATOR MISSISSIPPIENSIS RIZAC Raluca Ioana*, SOARE Teodoru, CIOBOTARU-PÎRVU Emilia, MILITARU Manuella Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, Bucharest, Romania (Received 07 March, Accepted 01 July 2019) The literature in this fi eld cites various ubiquitous fungal and bacterial microorganisms as etiologic agents in severely stressed captive alligators and crocodiles. This study reports two cases of Alligator mississippiensis with bacterial and fungal disease. Two adult American alligators have been submitted for post-mortem investigations. Necropsy, cytology (MGG), and histopathology investigations (HE, HEA, PAS, Gram, Giemsa, Ziehl Neelsen) were carried out. Pleural and pericardial swabs were subjected to microbiological examination. The main lesions detected involved the lower respiratory system and were characterized by thoracic serosanguineous effusions, pleural and pulmonary nodules (1 – 80 mm), accompanied by edema. Similar nodules observed also in the liver, spleen and myocardium, suggested a systemic disease. Additionally, cutaneous, gingival and gastrointestinal erosions and ulcers were found. Cytoarchitecture fi ndings in the major organs revealed lymphoid depletion, multifocal to coalescing necrotic areas with coccoid aggregates and rod shaped bacteria intermixing fungal structures, boarded by heterogeneous infl ammatory infi ltrates, composed by epithelioid macrophages, lymphocytes and heterophils. The microbiological examination revealed the presence of Aeromonas hydrophila, A. caviae, Serratia marcescens, Pantoea agglomerans, Proteus vulgaris, haemolitic and non-haemolitic E. coli, Citrobacter freundii, Rhizopus/Absidia from pleural and pericardial cavities, concluding that death occurred following a bacterial and fungal pneumonia, with secondary spreading of microorganisms.
