  • Long-Term Trends in Food Habits of the Raccoon Dog, Nyctereutes Viverrinus, in the Imperial Palace, Tokyo
    Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Ser.

A total of 95 taxa (including 58 taxa identi- fied as genera or species) of plant seeds were detected from 163 collected feces in 164 weekly sur- veys. Among them, eight taxa were selected as the food resources for the raccoon dogs in the Imperial Palace. The intakes of these taxa showed seasonal succession, i.e. Aphananthe aspera in January, Idesia polycarpa in February, Rubus hirsutus from May to July, Cerasus spp. in May and June, Morus spp. in June, Machilus thunbergii in July and August, Aphananthe aspera from Sep- tember to December until the following January, and also Ficus erecta in September and Celtis sinensis in December. In March and April, plant harvest is rather poor, and therefore raccoon dogs feed on the inside endosperm of Ginkgo biloba and family Fagaceae to supply the insufficient nutrients as observed by broken seed coats from feces.

Badgers inhabiting the Carpathians use excavated setts Mustelidae; (53%), caves and rock crevices (43%), and burrows under human-made Sett Utilization; constructions (4%) as permanent shelters. Excavated setts are located up Spatial Organization. to 640 m a.s.l., but shelters in caves and crevices can be found as high as 1,050 m a.s.l. Badger setts are mostly located on slopes with southern, eastern or western exposure. Within their territories, ranging from 3.35 to 8.45 km2 (MCP100%), badgers may possess 1-12 setts. Family groups are small (mean = 2.3 badgers), population density is low (2.2 badgers/10 km2), as is reproduction (0.57 young/year/10 km2). Hunting by humans is the main mortality factor (0.37 badger/year/10 km2).

Bears change their behavior to take advantage of these resources and in the process may damage property or cause public safety concerns. Managers are often forced to focus efforts on reactive non-lethal and lethal bear management techniques to solve immediate problems, which do little to address root causes of human-bear conflict.

  • What's Wild About African Wild Dogs?
    Skill – Reading Comprehension Name: _________________________ What’s Wild About African Wild Dogs? By: Catherine Clarke Fox What’s the difference between African wild dogs and the dogs we know as pets? For one thing, African wild dogs, which live in Africa, south of the Sahara desert, only have four toes, while domestic dogs and wolves have five. But you wouldn’t want to count for yourself, because these are truly wild animals. Wild dogs are not somebody's domestic dogs that ran away and didn't come back, although some people used to think that," explains Dr. "Tico" McNutt, who studies these animals at Wild Dog Research Camp in the African country of Botswana. "They are actually Africa's wolf, and just like wolves, they do not make good pets. They need to be out in the wild doing what they are supposed to be doing - ranging many miles every day and hunting to find the food they need to survive and feed pups." In fact, they travel so far that researchers use radio collars to keep track of them. The collars send out radio signals that tell people where the dogs are. African wild dogs are a separate species from domestic dogs: Lycaon pictus, which means painted, wolf-like animal. No two wild dogs have the same pattern to their coats, so it is easy to tell them apart. Roaming through grasslands, savannas, and wooded areas, they hunt gazelles and other antelopes, baby wildebeests, warthogs, birds, and rats. Incredible hunters, they can run up to 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour).

INTRODUCTION China is the largest fur trading and processing country in the world, producing 75% of all furs sourced globally1. The demand for fur products is growing with the rise in economic standards and online marketing by fur retailers. Traditionally adults were the main consumers of fur products, but the market has more recently expanded into children’s fashions. Unlike in western countries, dogs and cats are openly used as a source for fur products in China. The animal welfare implications of the fur trade are significant, and of growing concern as the industry expands. Most Chinese fur farms have been established in the last 10 to 15 years, and include dog, cat, fox, mink, raccoon dog and rabbit.

  • Introducing Your New Dog to Your Resident Cat
    Introducing Your New Dog to Your Resident Cat Never leave your dog and cat alone unsupervised as dogs can kill a cat very easily, even if they’re only playing. All it takes is one shake and the cat’s neck can break. Many dogs want to chase and play with cats, and cats usually become afraid and defensive. Before introducing your new dog to your resident cat, keep them isolated until you get to know your dog and have had a chance to do some preparation and training. Be prepared for the introduction to take several days, or more, and let the cat set the pace. Remember to always proceed slowly and safely, giving your cat space to get away from the situation. Avoid any interactions between your pets that result in either fearful or aggressive behavior. If these responses are allowed to become a habit, they can be difficult to change. It's better to introduce your pets to each other so gradually that neither animal becomes afraid or aggressive. You can expect mild forms of these behaviors, but don't give them the opportunity to intensify. If either animal becomes fearful or aggressive, separate them, and start over with the introduction process in a series of very small, gradual steps. Set-up Give your resident cat a ‘safe room’, with access to food, water, litter box and bed, where she can be safe and secure from the dog. Your new dog should have a ‘confinement area’, where he is kept when you’re not able to pay 100% attention to his behavior as he settles in to a new house.
