Porini Camps Mammal Guide By Rustom Framjee Preface This mammal guide provides some interesting facts about the mammals that are seen by guests staying at Porini Camps. In addition, there are many species of birds and reptiles which are listed separately from this guide. Many visitors are surprised at the wealth of wildlife and how close you can get to the animals without disturbing them. Because the camps operate on a low tourist density basis (one tent per 700 acres) the wildlife is not ‘crowded’ by many vehicles and you can see them in a natural state - hunting, socialising, playing, giving birth and fighting to defend their territories. Some are more difficult to see than others, and some can only be seen when you go on a night drive. All Porini camps are unfenced and located in game rich areas and you will see much wildlife even in and around the camps. The Maasai guides who accompany you on all game drives and walks are very well trained and qualified professional guides. They are passionate and enthusiastic about their land and its wildlife and really want to show you as much as they can. They have a wealth of knowledge and you are encouraged to ask them more about what you see. They know many of the animals individually and can tell you stories about them. If you are particularly interested in something, let them know and they will try to help you see it. While some facts and figures are from some of the references listed, the bulk of information in this guide has come from the knowledge of guides and camp staff.

They have always believed in me and never doubted that I would reach my goals. I am eternally grateful to my mentors, Dr. Jim Mead and the late Dr. Larry Agenbroad, who have shaped me as a paleontologist and have provided me to the strength and knowledge to continue to grow as a scientist. I would like to thank my colleagues from the Florida Museum of Natural History who provided insight and open discussion on my research. In particular, I would like to thank Dr. Aldo Rincon for his help in researching procyonids. I am so grateful to Dr. Anne-Claire Fabre; without her understanding of R and knowledge of 3D morphometrics this project would have been an immense struggle. I would also to thank Rachel Short for the late-night work sessions and discussions. I am extremely grateful to my advisor Dr. David Steadman for his comments, feedback, and guidance through my time here at the University of Florida. I also thank my committee, Dr. Bruce MacFadden, Dr. Jon Bloch, Dr. Elizabeth Screaton, for their feedback and encouragement.

May 2009 84 10637 Sensitivities The ratings mentioned above in the site description are derived from the level of conservation of that specific vegetation type. This is useful for an overview perspective, but for detailed sensitivities the focus moves to red/orange data species. Due to the endangered status of the plants, their specific occurrence is kept confidential by the GDACE. For guidance, the department has issued the Conservation Plan (CPlan) data which provides an indication as to the locality of red/orange data fauna or flora. Figure 52 illustrates the areas identified by CPlan as being sensitive. These areas have been investigated in detail for sensitive flora. It was found that the areas highlighted in Figure 52 are mostly wetlands, the Bronkhorstspruit Dam and ridges. All of these areas could provide habitat to sensitive species. 7.1.9 Fauna Data Collection A literature review of the faunal species that could occur in the area was conducted. C-Plan data provided from the Mpumalanga provincial department was used to conduct a desktop study of the area. This data consists of terrestrial and aquatic components, ratings provide an indication as to the importance of the area with respect to biodiversity. Additionally, all fauna were noted during the site visit conducted on the 10th-14th March and 18th – 20th November 2008. Regional Description As a consequence of mining and farming in the area, it appears that only small animals are to be found at the site. Small mammals known to occur in the area include hedgehog, rabbits, polecat, meerkat and the ubiquitous rats and mice.

Prey Selection by Caracal in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
Prey selection by caracal in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park H.I.A.S. Melville1*, J. du P. Bothma1 & M.G.L. Mills2 1Centre for Wildlife Management, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, 0002 South Africa 2SAN Parks, Endangered Wildlife Trust and Mammal Research Institute, University of Pretoria, Private Bag X402, Skukuza, 1350 South Africa Received 29 August 2003. Accepted 4 March 2004 In the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, 116 caracal (Caracal caracal) scat samples were col- lected and 327 attempted hunts were reconstructed from spoor-tracking. The data were analysed to establish the prey use of caracals in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and to study the extent to which caracals use small stock by moving into the adjacent farmland in Namibia. It was found that the primary prey resource was small mammals, the vast majority of which were rodents, including springhare (Pedetes capensis). Larger prey animals included steenbok (Raphicerus campestris) and smaller carnivores up to the size of a black-backed jackal (Canis mesomelas). Birds were an abundant prey resource, especially the larger ground-roosting species. Invertebrate remains were found in a large proportion of the scats, indicating that they were commonly used as a source of food. Domestic livestock remains were identified in eight of the scat samples and the temporal distribution of these indicated an increased use of domestic livestock by caracals in the cold season. Key words: caracal, Felidae, livestock, scat analysis, small mammals, spoor-tracking. INTRODUCTION where stock farms border on the Kgalagadi The survival of any predator is directly related Transfrontier Park. Although widely condemned to the quality and quantity of its diet.

Small Carnivore Conservation Action Plan

M., Rwiza, M., and Tibyenda, R. The Tanzania Small Carnivore Conservation Action Plan. Durant, S. M., De Luca, D., Davenport, T. R. B., Mduma, S., Konzo, S., and Lobora, A. Report: 162-269. 2009. Arusha, Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute. Keywords: 1TZ/abundance/action plan/caracal/Caracal caracal/conservation/conservation action plan/distribution/ecology/Felis silvestris/Leptailurus serval/serval/wildcat Abstract: This report covers the proceedings of the First Tanzania Small Carnivore Conservation Action Plan Workshop held at TAWIRI on 19th-21st April 2006. The workshop brought together key stakeholders to assess existing information and establish a consensus on priorities for research and conservation for 28 species of small to medium carnivore in Tanzania (excluding cheetah, wild dogs, aardwolf, spotted hyaena, striped hyaena, leopard and lion, all of which were covered in other workshops). Recent records were used to confirm the presence of 27 of these species in Tanzania. These were three species of cats or felids: serval (Leptailurus serval); caracal (Caracal caracal) and wild cat (Felis silvestris). Five mustelids: Cape clawless otter (Aonyx capensis); spotted-necked otter (Hydrictis maculicollis); honey badger (Mellivora capensis); striped weasel (Poecilogale albinucha); and zorilla (Ictonyx striatus). Four canids: bat-eared fox (Otocyon megalotis); black-backed jackal (Canis mesomelas); golden jackal (Canis aureus); side-striped jackal (Canis adustus). Four viverrids: common genet (Genetta genetta); large-spotted genet (Genetta maculata); servaline genet (Genetta servalina); and African civet (Viverra civettina).
