  • Cougar 1 Cougar
    Cougar 1 Cougar Cougar[1] Temporal range: Middle Pleistocene to recent Conservation status [2] Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Felidae Genus: Puma Species: Puma concolor Binomial name Puma concolor (Linnaeus, 1771) Cougar 2 Cougar range The cougar (Puma concolor), also known as puma, mountain lion, mountain cat, catamount or panther, depending on the region, is a mammal of the family Felidae, native to the Americas. This large, solitary cat has the greatest range of any large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere,[3] extending from Yukon in Canada to the southern Andes of South America. An adaptable, generalist species, the cougar is found in every major American habitat type. It is the second heaviest cat in the Western Hemisphere, after the jaguar. Although large, the cougar is most closely related to smaller felines and is closer genetically to the domestic cat than to true lions. A capable stalk-and-ambush predator, the cougar pursues a wide variety of prey. Primary food sources include ungulates such as deer, elk, moose, and bighorn sheep, as well as domestic cattle, horses and sheep, particularly in the northern part of its range. It will also hunt species as small as insects and rodents. This cat prefers habitats with dense underbrush and rocky areas for stalking, but it can also live in open areas. The cougar is territorial and persists at low population densities. Individual territory sizes depend on terrain, vegetation, and abundance of prey. While it is a large predator, it is not always the dominant species in its range, as when it competes for prey with other predators such as the jaguar, grey wolf, American Black Bear, and the grizzly bear.

  • Lycaon Pictus) in HWANGE NATIONAL PARK(HNP
    THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF GASTROINTERSTINAL PARASITES IN PAINTED DOGS (Lycaon pictus) IN HWANGE NATIONAL PARK(HNP). BY TAKUNDA.T. TAURO A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of BSc (Hons) Animal and Wildlife Sciences, Department of Animal and Wildlife Sciences, Faculty of Natural Resources Management and Agriculture Midlands State University May 2018 Page | i ABSTRACT An epidemiological survey was conducted on the prevalence and risk factors associated with intestinal parasites of African Painted dog in Hwange National Park between June 2016 and July 2017. Centrifugal flotation and McMaster techniques were employed to obtain comprehensive data on the prevalence and diversity of gastrointestinal parasites observed in faecal samples collected from painted dogs. A total of 58 painted dogs were surveyed. Out of these, all were infected with at least one intestinal parasite and 10 parasite genera of gastrointestinal i.e. Alaria, Physolaptera, Isospora, Spirocerca, Dipylidium, Uncinaria, Toxoscaris, Toxocara, Taenia, Ancylostoma and Sarcocystis spp were recorded. Two parasites (Physolaptera and Spirocerca) have been reported for the first time in this study. Sarcocystis had the highest prevalence (28.2%) and intensity (629.18±113.01), while the lowest prevalence was for Physolaptera and Alaria spp (0.6% prevalence and 50± 0 intensity). Level of parasitism was statistically significant across all parasites species (F=0.036; p<0.05). The findings also revealed significant difference in intensity between packs (F= 0.037; p <0.05), no significant difference in level of parasitism between season (F=0.275; p > 0.05). Results were comparable basing on location but with no statistical significance (P=0.132).

  • Paws for Reading What Is a Paw? Is It a Foot/Hand of an Animal? Can a Paw Be a Foot, and Can a Foot Be a Paw? a Paw Is the Lower Part Attached to the Leg of an Animal
    Paws for Reading What is a paw? Is it a foot/hand of an animal? Can a paw be a foot, and can a foot be a paw? A paw is the lower part attached to the leg of an animal. It is usually furry, ovoid (egg shaped) with soft pads on the bottom and claws. Paws could be the fore foot or hind foot of an animal. Fe et are elongated, not very hairy and have nails not claws. A paw can be a foot, but a foot cannot be paw. People do not have paws, but racoons do. So, what animals have paws? Cats, dogs, racoons, bears, weasels, mice (rodents), fox, wolves. How many toes do they have? They will have either four toes or five toes. Four toed animals are the cat, dog, fox, wolf, and coyotes (they also have a dewclaw, it is like our thumb). tRabbits have paws with four toes and a dewclaw but no pad on the bottom. It is furry. Other four toes animals are big cats like the cougar and lion. Five toed animals are weasels, skunks, otters, and bears. Plus, many more. Sometimes a cat or dog is born with extra toes. This cat/dog would be called a Polydactyl cat/dog. Polydactyl is Greek for many digits. Have you seen tracks in the dust or mud and wondered what animal made those? Some tracks are easy to identify, other are much harder. Size is a clue to identifying certain tracks. Number of toes is another clue. Does it have claws showing in the track? Are the front tracks inline with the back track or are they off set? Can an animal use it paws for other things besides walking/running? Yes, many animals use their paws to hit or swipe at another animal.

  • The Feasibility of Reintroducing African Wild Dogs (Lycaon Pictus) Into the Great Fish River Nature Reserve, Eastern Cape, South Africa
    The feasibility of reintroducing African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) into the Great Fish River Nature Reserve, Eastern Cape, South Africa. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE of RHODES UNIVERSITY By SAMANTHA KARIN PAGE February 2014 Abstract With a declining population of roughly 3000-5000 individuals in Africa, African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) are one of the most endangered carnivores in the world. As the global human population expands, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that large portions of land will be set aside for conservation, especially in developing countries. Thus, recent wild dog conservation efforts in South Africa have concentrated on establishing a managed metapopulation. A metapopulation is a group of geographically isolated subpopulations of a species that are managed (using supplementation and harvesting) to mimic natural gene flow. The Great Fish River Nature Reserve (GFRNR) in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa has been identified as a potential reserve to become part of the national wild dog metapopulation. My research aimed to conduct a feasibility assessment of the long-term (~ 25 years) success of a wild dog reintroduction into the GFRNR. This assessment included biological modelling of wild dogs and their expected prey, and determining the potential anthropogenic threats to wild dogs on the private and communal land surrounding the reserve. I used VORTEX population modelling and determined that the GFRNR is likely to have a wild dog carrying capacity of ~22 individuals. Using a 25-year modelling simulation, the most appropriate wild dog reintroduction scenario would be to reintroduce six females and four males initially and supplement the population with one female and two males in years 3, 10, 15 and 23.

  • Anatomical Study of the Digits of Fore Limbs in Goat H
    AL-Qadisiya Journal of Vet.Med.Sci. Vol./12 No./2 2013 ______________________________________________________________________________ Anatomical Study of the Digits of Fore limbs in goat H. A. Al- Sharoot Th. A. Abid E. F. AL-Baghdady Coll. of Vet. Med.l/Univ. of Al-Qadisiya. Abstract The study aim to explain the anatomical description of the digit of fore limb in goat (Capra hircus). Left and right fore limbs of 10 Iraqi healthy male goats aging (6) months, with no history of lameness and without local swelling or joint distension were utilized in this study. The study reveals that the goats have two digits; each digit has three phalanges (pI, p II, p III) and sesamoid bones. The PI longer than the other phalanx while the pII was much shorter than the pI. PIII was uniquely triangular in shape with numerous vascular channels. The proximal sesamoid bones were elongated and each bone have three surfaces while distal sesamoid bones were shuttle in shape and situated palmer to the second interphalangeal joints. Key word: Anatomical, Digits, Goat (Capra hircus) Introduction Goats (Capra hircus) are small (Digitigrades) for example dog (5).While important domesticated ruminants which anther type of animals limb characteristic has served humans earlier and longer than by the stronger feet for the tension and cattle and sheep (1, 2).Goats are wide pressure, this type of animals located under spread across the world, having adapted to (Unguligrade) for example ruminant (6) many different climatic conditions and .The importance of the foot resides from econiches (3) .It can be found in all over the complex anatomical peculiarities, the the world particularly in arid semitropical biomechanical stress and the multitude of or mountainous countries (4) .More clinical conditions that are related to this differenced between types of animals in the region.

Illustrations by Elishea Smith. © 2008 TPWD PWD BK W7000-1669 (8/08) 1 The Javelina in Texas inTroducTion Early Spanish explorers, in their ventures into the “New World,” encountered a pig-like animal similar in appearance to the swine of the “Old World.” They called the animal jabeli (Arabic-Spanish for wild boar) or jabalina (Spanish for spear, due to its spear-like teeth). Hence, the common name of javelina by which we know it today. Also described as the Mexico musk hog, the javelina or collared peccary (Tayassu [Pecari] tajacu) is only distantly related to true swine believed to have shared a common ancestor some 40 million years ago. The peccaries (Family Tayassuidae) were developing in the Western Hemisphere about the same time that swine (Family Suidae) were developing in the Eastern Hemisphere. The Javelina in Texas 2 diSTriBuTion The collared peccary has one of the largest distributions of any wild ungulate in the world, occurring from Argentina into the southwestern United States. Collared peccaries are relative new­ comers to the southwestern United States, with the first record in literature coming from 18th-century Jesuit missionaries in or around Arizona. Archeological investigations further substantiate this record, as no evidence of javelina has been found in sites dat­ ing prior to 1700.
