  • Beatragus Hunteri) in Arawale National Reserve, Northeastern, Kenya
    The population size, abundance and distribution of the Critically Endangered Hirola Antelope (Beatragus hunteri) in Arawale National Reserve, Northeastern, Kenya. Francis Kamau Muthoni Terra Nuova, Transboundary Environmental Project, P.O. Box 74916, Nairobi, Kenya Email: [email protected] 1.0. Abstract. This paper outlines the spatial distribution, population size, habitat preferences and factors causing the decline of Hirola antelope in Arawale National Reserve (ANR) in Garissa and Ijara districts, north eastern Kenya. The reserve covers an area of 540Km2. The objectives of the study were to gather baseline information on hirola distribution, population size habitat preferences and human activities impacting on its existence. A sampling method using line transect count was used to collect data used to estimate the distribution of biological populations (Norton-Griffiths, 1978). Community scouts collected data using Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and recorded on standard datasheets for 12 months. Transect walks were done from 6.00Am to 10.00Am every 5th day of the month. The data was entered into a geo-database and analysed using Arcmap, Ms Excel and Access. The results indicate that the population of hirola in Arawale National Reserve were 69 individuals comprising only 6% of the total population in the natural geographic range of hirola estimated to be 1,167 individuals. It also revealed that hirola prefer open bushes and grasslands. The decline of the Hirola on its natural range is due to a combination of factors, including, habitat loss and degradation, competition with livestock, poaching and drought. Key words: Hirola Antelope Beatragus hunteri, GIS, Endangered Species 2.0. Introduction. The Hirola antelope (Beatragus hunteri) is a “Critically Endangered” species endemic to a small area in Southeast Kenya and Southwest Somalia.

  • 08E – CHAMOIS (GAMSWILD)
    U.S. Forces Europe Hunting, Fishing, and Sport Shooting Program Guide to Hunting in Germany 08e – CHAMOIS (GAMSWILD) Breeding season (Brunftzeit): November Gestation period: 20-21 weeks Young are born: May (one, sometimes two) Teeth: 32 Males: Gamsbock Females: Geiss Fawns: Kitz Herd: Rudel Based on fossils, scientists believe that some 100,000 years ago, ancestors of chamois known in Europe today originally migrated from Central Asia. These populations were wiped out during the last ice-age, except for chamois that are located in the Apennine and the Pyrenees mountain ranges. When the glaciers melted away, about 10,000 years ago, another Chamois migration from Asia led to a re-population of Eastern and Central Europe, except for Scandinavia and the British Islands. 08e-1 U.S. Forces Europe Hunting, Fishing, and Sport Shooting Program Guide to Hunting in Germany As a true mountain animal, Chamois lived mainly in regions with rocks and steep cliffs and outside the forest. With the increasing extension of forest on the former taiga landscape, Chamois became restricted to Alpine areas. In this sense, “Alpine” means regions above the forest line. These were mainly the Carpathians, the Tatras, the Dinarids, the Alps, the Apennines, and the Pyrenees. Aside from alpine regions, Chamois have also been introduced successfully to some parts in Europe (Schwarzwald and Elbsandsteingebirge, Germany), and to New Zealand. The chamois is a member of the family Bovidae. Chamois is a very distinct genus, with no close relatives in the world of cloven hoofed game. The Serau and the Goral, both in Central Asia, and the Snow Goat in North America are considered the closest relatives.

  • Serologic Surveys for Natural Foci of Contagious Ecthyma Infection
    FI.NAL REP.ORT (R.ESEARCH) State: Alaska Cooperators: Randall L. Zarnke and Kenneth A. Neiland Project No.: W-21-1 Project Title: Big Game Investigations Job No.: l8.1R Job Title: Serologic Surveys for Natural Foci of contag1ous Ecthyma Infection Period Covered: July 1, 1979 to J~~? ~0, 1~80 SUMMARY Contagious ecthyma (C. E. ) antibody prevalence in domestic sheep and goats in Interior Alaska du~ing 1978 was quite low (7-10%). This suggested a low level of transmission of the virus among these species during this time period. C. E. antibody prevalence in Dall sheep increased .from 30 percent in 1971 to 100 percent in 1978. This suggested an increased level of transmission to, and/or among, these animals during this period. Following a C.E. epizootic in a band of captive Dall sheep in 1977, antibody prevalence was 80 percent in this group of sheep. Less than l year later, prevalence had dropped to 10 percent in the ·same band. Thus it appeared that antibody produced in response to this . strain of C.E. is short-lived. Antibody was also detected in 10 of 22 free­ ranging muskoxen taken by sport hunters on Nunivak Island in 1978. Detectable antibody levels were not found in any of 19 muskoxen captured on the island in 1979. No antibody was found in a small number of captive muskoxen from Unalakleet. Several of the captive muskoxen were ·known to have been infected with C.E. within 1 to 2 years prior to the time of sampling. This further substantiates the belief that anti­ body produced in response to infection by the Alaskan strain of C.E.
