The mother giraffe was in a danger of dystocia more than 7 hours in labor after showing the calf’s toe of the foreleg which protruded from her vulva. After tugging with a snare of rope on the metacarpal bone of the calf and pulling it, the other toe emerged. Finally, with two snares around each of metacarpal bones, the calf was completely pulled out by zoo staff. After parturition, the dam was in normal condition for taking care of the calf and her progesterone hormone had also dropped down to a normal pre-pregnancy.

  • Wildlife SOS SAVING INDIA’S WILDLIFE

    Wildlife SOS SAVING INDIA’S WILDLIFE

    Wildlife SOS SAVING INDIA’S WILDLIFE WILDLIFE SOS wildlifesos.org 1 www.wildlifesos.org WHO WE ARE Wildlife SOS was established in 1995 to protect India’s wildlife and wilderness from human exploitation. We are focused on threatened and endangered species like the Asian elephant and sloth bear, but also operate a leopard rescue center and run a 24-hour animal rescue service that provides aid to all creatures great and small — from injured turtles and birds to monkeys, tigers, and deer. Our mission involves three main branches: Welfare, Conservation, and Research. 1. WELFARE Wildlife SOS’s efforts to protect wildlife involve lifetime, high-quality care for animals who cannot return to the wild, medical treatment for animals that can, rescue services for captive animals in abusive settings, and advocacy to prevent animals from being exploited for entertainment. Wildlife SOS eradicated the cruel “dancing bear” practice in India, and we have been actively rescuing captive elephants from terrible situations (see below). Success Stories: Laxmi and Raj Bear Laxmi once begged on noisy and crowded city streets, morbidly obese from a diet of tourist junk food. Today, our good-natured girl is pampered at our sanctuary, feasting on a variety of healthier options, including her favorite: apples. Another success story: Raj, aka India’s last “dancing bear.” Back in 2009, we rescued and united Raj with hundreds of other bears we have saved from the cruel “dancing” trade. We still care for Raj as well more than 600 other bears. And we also provide training to their former owners to ensure that they can feed their families without ever exploiting an animal again.
  • Heraldic Terms

    Heraldic Terms

    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.
  • Giraffe Are the World's Tallest Animal, They Can Reach 5.8 Metres Tall

    Giraffe Are the World's Tallest Animal, They Can Reach 5.8 Metres Tall

    Animal welfare refers to an animal’s state or it’s feelings. An animal’s welfare state can be positive, neutral or negative. An animal’s welfare has the potential to differ on a daily basis. When an animal’s needs - nutritional, behavioural, health and environmental - are met, they can have good welfare. A good life in captivity might be one where animals can consistently experience good welfare throughout their entire life. Understanding that animals are sentient and have cognitive abilities as well as pain perception, reinforces the need to provide appropriate husbandry for all captive animals, to ensure they have good welfare. In captivity, the welfare of an animal is dependent on the physical and behavioural environment provided for them and the daily care and veterinary treatment they receive. It is therefore very important we understand their behavioural and physiological needs, so we can meet those needs in captivity. Giraffe are the world's tallest animal, they can reach 5.8 metres tall. They are found across sub-Sahara Africa in dry forest, shrubland and savannah habitats. The current understanding is there are nine sub-species of giraffe although it is now thought they are separated into four distinct species. The giraffe is classified by the IUCN as vulnerable to extinction. It is estimated there are less than 70,000 giraffe left in the wild and the population is declining. This is due to habitat loss and hunting. Giraffes like to Eat Giraffes are herbivores, they can eat up to 45 kg of leaves, bark and twigs a day.
