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.

Assessment Rationale Listed as Least Concern, as Blesbok are abundant on both formally and privately protected land. We estimate a minimum mature population size of 54,426 individuals (using a 70% mature population structure) across 678 protected areas and wildlife ranches (counts between 2010 and 2016). There are at least an estimated 17,235 animals (counts between 2013 and 2016) on formally Emmanuel Do Linh San protected areas across the country, with the largest subpopulation occurring on Golden Gate Highlands National Park. The population has increased significantly Regional Red List status (2016) Least Concern over three generations (1990–2015) in formally protected National Red List status (2004) Least Concern areas across its range and is similarly suspected to have increased on private lands.

Date: March 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za iii GENERAL ABSTRACT Fallow deer (Dama dama), although not native to South Africa, are abundant in the country and could contribute to domestic food security and economic stability. Nonetheless, this wild ungulate remains overlooked as a protein source and no information exists on their production potential and meat quality in South Africa. The aim of this study was thus to determine the carcass characteristics, meat- and offal-yields, and the physical- and chemical-meat quality attributes of wild fallow deer harvested in South Africa. Gender was considered as a main effect when determining carcass characteristics and yields, while both gender and muscle were considered as main effects in the determination of physical and chemical meat quality attributes. Live weights, warm carcass weights and cold carcass weights were higher (p < 0.05) in male fallow deer (47.4 kg, 29.6 kg, 29.2 kg, respectively) compared with females (41.9 kg, 25.2 kg, 24.7 kg, respectively), as well as in pregnant females (47.5 kg, 28.7 kg, 28.2 kg, respectively) compared with non- pregnant females (32.5 kg, 19.7 kg, 19.3 kg, respectively).

The park was once known for its abundant density of Swayne’s Hartebeest. We used direct total count methods for the census. We administered semi-structured interviews and open-ended questionnaires with senior scouts who are a member of the local communities. Historical records were obtained to evaluate the population trends of the animals since 1974. The density of the animal decreased from 65 in 1974 to 1 individual per 100 km2 in 2014 with a decline of 98.5% in the past 40 years. The respondents agreed that the conservation status of the park was in its worst condition ever now with only 2 Swayne’s Hartebeest left, with a rapid decline from 4 individuals in 2012 and 12 individuals in 2009. Mainly hunting and habitat loss, but also unsuitable season of reproduction and shortage of forage as minor factors were identified as threats for the local extinction of the Swayne’s Hartebeests.

  • Connochaetes Gnou – Black Wildebeest
    Connochaetes gnou – Black Wildebeest Blue Wildebeest (C. taurinus) (Grobler et al. 2005 and ongoing work at the University of the Free State and the National Zoological Gardens), which is most likely due to the historic bottlenecks experienced by C. gnou in the late 1800s. The evolution of a distinct southern endemic Black Wildebeest in the Pleistocene was associated with, and possibly driven by, a shift towards a more specialised kind of territorial breeding behaviour, which can only function in open habitat. Thus, the evolution of the Black Wildebeest was directly associated with the emergence of Highveld-type open grasslands in the central interior of South Africa (Ackermann et al. 2010). Andre Botha Assessment Rationale Regional Red List status (2016) Least Concern*† This is an endemic species occurring in open grasslands in the central interior of the assessment region. There are National Red List status (2004) Least Concern at least an estimated 16,260 individuals (counts Reasons for change No change conducted between 2012 and 2015) on protected areas across the Free State, Gauteng, North West, Northern Global Red List status (2008) Least Concern Cape, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal TOPS listing (NEMBA) (2007) Protected (KZN) provinces (mostly within the natural distribution range). This yields a total mature population size of 9,765– CITES listing None 11,382 (using a 60–70% mature population structure).

  • Prey Selection and Use of Natural and Man-Made Barriers by African Wild Dogs While Hunting
    Prey selection and use of natural and man-made barriers by African wild dogs while hunting Ruth Rhodes & Grant Rhodes* School of Botany and Zoology, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Private Bag X01, Scottsville, 3209 South Africa Received 20 January 2004. Accepted 10 May 2004 The hunting patterns of a pack of African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) were monitored on an 8356 ha reserve in the Waterberg Mountains, Limpopo Province, South Africa. Some members of the pack were radio-collared and the dogs were followed daily by researchers from April 2002 to January 2003. Prey selection and the use of barriers during the wild dogs’ hunts were studied. Barriers were defined as objects such as game fences, flowing rivers and dams, which impeded a fleeing prey animal’s escape. Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) comprised the majority (60%) of the dogs’ kills, although they made up only 14% of the total prey items available to the dogs. Wild dogs in the reserve made 81% of their kills within 20 m of a barrier, although these 20 m zones made up only 1.7% of the total area available to the dogs in the reserve. Being able to factor the use of barriers into their hunts could explain the preponderance of large prey in their diet. Because wild dogs make most of their kills near or at barriers, there are important management implications of having wild dogs in small reserves. These include ensuring that fences are sturdy and monitored for damage which might occur during hunts. The ability of wild dogs to successfully target the larger prey animals may also have an effect on the carnivore/prey balance and should be monitored carefully.
