  • Morphological Aspects of the Brain in the Indian Grey Mongoose (Herpestes Edwardsii)
    Iranian Journal of Veterinary Received: 2020- Mar- 06 Accepted after revision: 2020- Nov- 01 Science and Technology Published online: 2021- Feb- 27 Short communication DOI: 10.22067/ijvst.2020.39237 Morphological aspects of the brain in the Indian grey mongoose (Herpestes Edwardsii) Babak Rasouli, Soghra Gholami, Younes Kamali Department of Basic Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. ABSTRACT Mongoose is a common name for 29 to 34 species in 14 genera of the family Herpestidae which are found in vast areas of southwestern Asia, especially southern Iran. Anatomical and morphological studies of the brain have always been of interest to the researchers in the field of anatomy, due to its high importance in various fields of veterinary and zoology. Because of the lack of information about the brain structure in wild carnivores, the present study was conducted to better understand the morphological features in Indian grey mongoose. For this purpose, 4 carcasses of adult mongooses were used. They were found in different areas of Fars province. The mongooses had died due to natural causes. The brain was carefully separated from the skull and the measurements and observations were made on different parts of it. In this study, it wa found that the brain's structure has an ovoid appearance. Also, distinguished olfactory bulbs, deep transverse and longitudinal fissures, and relatively large cerebellar vermis were observed. Accord- ing to the current study, it can be concluded that the anatomical features of the brain in the mongoose are similar to those of other carnivores and are in perfect harmony with the sensory and motor capabilities of the animal.

  • 1. Biological Environment 1.1
    EB Report for Expansion of Corporate Office Building, Noida (U.P.) ……….………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 1. Biological Environment 1.1. Introduction Biodiversity reflects the potential of a regional ecosystem. Biota of a particular area is considered as indicators of the environment as they quickly respond not only to one environmental factor but also an interactive group of factors. These communities influence and react sensitively to changes in the balance of environmental stresses. Conservation of the biodiversity is essential for the sustainable development. Before starting any Environmental Impact Assessment study, it is necessary to identify the baseline of relevant environmental parameters which are likely to be affected as a result of the operation of the proposed project. A similar approach has been adopted for conducting the study on biological environment for this project. Both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems have been studied to understand the biological environment nearby the project site. The study was conducted in the project area to assess all possible consequences on the biological environment. The present study is highlighting the various issues pertaining to floristic diversity and the faunal wealth in the core area i.e. Expansion of Corporate Office Building at Sector-16A, Film City, Noida (U.P.) and buffer zone i.e. area within 10 km radius. 1.1.1. Description of Study Area The present project proposes modification of the Expansion of Corporate Office Building which is located Sector-16A, Film City, Noida (U.P.) under the Seismic Zone –IV as per IS 1893 (Part I): 2002 (indicating high damage risk zone). The buildings will be designed as earthquake resistant and comply with IS specifications.

  • The 2008 IUCN Red Listings of the World's Small Carnivores
    The 2008 IUCN red listings of the world’s small carnivores Jan SCHIPPER¹*, Michael HOFFMANN¹, J. W. DUCKWORTH² and James CONROY³ Abstract The global conservation status of all the world’s mammals was assessed for the 2008 IUCN Red List. Of the 165 species of small carni- vores recognised during the process, two are Extinct (EX), one is Critically Endangered (CR), ten are Endangered (EN), 22 Vulnerable (VU), ten Near Threatened (NT), 15 Data Deficient (DD) and 105 Least Concern. Thus, 22% of the species for which a category was assigned other than DD were assessed as threatened (i.e. CR, EN or VU), as against 25% for mammals as a whole. Among otters, seven (58%) of the 12 species for which a category was assigned were identified as threatened. This reflects their attachment to rivers and other waterbodies, and heavy trade-driven hunting. The IUCN Red List species accounts are living documents to be updated annually, and further information to refine listings is welcome. Keywords: conservation status, Critically Endangered, Data Deficient, Endangered, Extinct, global threat listing, Least Concern, Near Threatened, Vulnerable Introduction dae (skunks and stink-badgers; 12), Mustelidae (weasels, martens, otters, badgers and allies; 59), Nandiniidae (African Palm-civet The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the most authorita- Nandinia binotata; one), Prionodontidae ([Asian] linsangs; two), tive resource currently available on the conservation status of the Procyonidae (raccoons, coatis and allies; 14), and Viverridae (civ- world’s biodiversity.

  • Notes on Mating Behaviour of Two Small Carnivores in Bangladesh
    Notes on mating behaviour of two small carnivores in Bangladesh Hassan AL-RAZI, Shayer Mahmood Ibney ALAM*, Mohammad Abdul BAKI and Nadim PARVES Abstract Small Asian Mongoose Herpestes javanicus is a common yet poorly documented species in Bangladesh. A pair was observed mating near a small bush on an island in the Buriganga River at 11h10 on 14 January 2014. Nine successive copulations were separated by about 20 to 50 seconds. Masked Palm Civet Paguma larvata is believed to be rare in Bangladesh and its behaviour is very poorly known. A pair up a tree in Satchari National Park at 07h43 on 25 April 2014 was observed copulating (two bouts) and its post- mating behaviour documented. Keywords: breeding behaviour, copulation, Herpestes auropunctatus, Herpestes javanicus, Masked Palm Civet, Paguma larvata, Small Asian Mongoose Introduction 1 m from its mate, pushing the female away for about 20–50 Direct observations of wild tropical Asian carnivores mating seconds each time.

  • Meerkat Unit Study and Lapbook Lessons
    MEERKAT UNIT STUDY & LAPBOOK Meerkat Unit Study and Lapbook Lessons Scientific Classification: Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Herpestidae Genus: Suricata Species: suricatta Complete Scientific Classification Flap Book What is a Meerkat? The name comes from the Dutch language and means “lake cat.” These interesting creatures live in southern Africa in the Kalahari Desert. A meerkat, also known as a suricat, stands about 12-24 inches tall. It weighs 1 to 2 pounds and lives up to 13 years. Complete Meerkats on the Map Matchbook Meerkat Anatomy Meerkats are built for life in the desert. The black around the eyes help protect from the glare of the sunlight. The black works like natural sunglasses. A meerkat has strong curved claws that are almost one-inch long. These claws help the meerkat dig burrows and hunt for food. The meerkat uses its tail to balance when standing upright. The meerkat has small black, crescent-shaped ears that can close when digging to keep the sand out. They have short parallel stripes across their backs extending from the base of the tail to the shoulders. The patterns of stripes are unique to each meerkat. The underside of the meerkat has no markings, but the belly has a patch which is only sparsely covered with hair and shows the black skin underneath. The meerkat uses this area to absorb heat while standing on its rear legs, usually early in the morning after cold desert nights. Complete What Makes Me a Meerkat? Flap Book Meet the Family: A group of meerkats living together is called a gang or a mob and the mob can get as big as fifty meerkats, but usually they average twenty.

Unlike other forms of wildlife, the Indian gray mongoose is often found close to the dwellings of humans, particularly in areas of tall grass and trees. They are also found in areas of dense vegetation as well as in cultivated farmland.

Banke National Park and National Trust for Nature Conservation, Bardia Conservation Program. I Mammals of Banke National Park and Buffer Zone Foreword Banke National Park (BaNP) was established in 2010 AD as a gift to the earth. BaNP has the historical significance of harboring great biodiversity. The Park makes the trans-boundary linkage with the Suhelwa Wildlife Sanctuary in India through Kamdi Forest Corridor and Rapti River Corridor. In addition, the park is linked with Bardia National Park towards West. It is thus well recognized as one of the priority tiger conservation landscapes. As stated by the Banke National Park and Buffer Zone Management Plan (2018 – 2022), a total of 34 mammal species are reported from the park.
