Don’t worry though, it’s a dry heat and every desert has a watering hole to cool off, get a drink and see who’s in town. The watering hole will be open on Sunday night April 14th 2019. The herds will be gathering at Rustler Rooste in the Crystal Barn from 6-10 pm. Like the Ungulates in our collections, we will be sharing the Rustlers Rooste with our Avian colleagues, they will be perching on the patio. There will be mixed species areas available for socializing, but we hope that the Ungulates gathering at the watering hole will only eat the nutrition approved ungulate appetizers and not get into the bird diets. Each event is donation based to support their respective TAG’s. If you want to enjoy the bird diets, please feel free to donate to the ASAG Wine and Cheese event in addition to the Watering Hole event. A $10.00 donation from our many hooves, one herd lovers will help support the AZA Ungulate TAG’s mission. The watering hole will have a cash bar so bring some money to buy yourself and your new friends a drink, kick up your hooves, and enjoy a carnivore free evening. The Rustler’s Rooste is adjacent to the Arizona Grand Resort and Spa and can be reached within a short 10-minute walk .

United States Geological Survey, Oklahoma Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit and Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078-3051, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Boselaphus tragocamelus (Pallas, 1766) is a bovid commonly called the nilgai or blue bull and is Asia’s largest antelope. A sexually dimorphic ungulate of large stature and unique coloration, it is the only species in the genus Boselaphus. It is endemic to peninsular India and small parts of Pakistan and Nepal, has been extirpated from Bangladesh, and has been introduced in the United States (Texas), Mexico, South Africa, and Italy. It prefers open grassland and savannas and locally is a significant agricultural pest in India. It is not of special conservation concern and is well represented in zoos and private collections throughout the world. DOI: 10.1644/813.1.

  • Performing Animals in Chinese Zoos August 2010
    Performing Animals in Chinese Zoos August 2010 Compiled by David Neale, Animal Welfare Director Lisa Yang, Animal Welfare Officer 1. Methodology From September 2009 to August 2010, Animals Asia investigators visited 13 safari parks and zoos across China to document wild animal performances. The information and photographs obtained from this investigation are summarised below. Video footage taken during the investigations has been used to produce a short film entitled „The Performance‟ available via the Animals Asia website www.animalsasia.org 2. Executive Summary Wild animal performances are common at captive animal establishments across China. All thirteen establishments visited in 2009/10 put on performances of one kind or another with many drawing in large crowds. Asiatic Black Bears are the most popular performance animal, present at 90% of parks; 75% of parks exhibit performing monkeys; 75% of parks exhibit performing tigers; 50% of parks exhibit performing sea-lion; Five parks put on bird performances; four parks exhibit performing elephants and two parks have a dedicated dolphinarium for marine mammal performances. During the wild animal performances animals are forced through fear, intimidation and in some cases physical force to perform unnatural tricks. 75% of parks force bears to ride bicycles; 50% of parks force bears to perform acrobatics on acrobatic rings; three parks force bears to ride a motorbike over a high wire 30ft above the ground; two parks force bears to „box‟ with each other; one park exhibits a human wrestling with a bear; 75% of parks force monkeys to ride bicycles; 50% force monkeys to perform handstands on the horns of goats, often while the goat is balancing on a tightrope some 10ft above the ground; the most common tiger acts force tigers to walk on their back legs, jump through hoops of fire and walk on top of large balls; Elephants were seen at four parks performing uncomfortable and humiliating tricks such as standing on their heads, and spinning on one leg.

  • The Saola Or Spindlehorn Bovid Pseudoryx Nghetinhensis in Laos
    ORYX VOL 29 NO 2 APRIL 1995 The saola or spindlehorn bovid Pseudoryx nghetinhensis in Laos George B. Schaller and Alan Rabinowitz In 1992 the discovery of a new bovid, Pseudoryx nghetinhensis, in Vietnam led to speculation that the species also occurred in adjacent parts of Laos. This paper describes a survey in January 1994, which confirmed the presence of P. ngethinhensis in Laos, although in low densities and with a patchy distribution. The paper also presents new information that helps clarify the phylogenetic position of the species. The low numbers and restricted range ofP. ngethinhensis mean that it must be regarded as Endangered. While some admirable moves have been made to protect the new bovid and its habitat, more needs to be done and the authors recommend further conservation action. Introduction area). Dung et al.
