In the back holding area of Emerald Forest, one of the gibbon enclosures contained two plastic structures that were chewed and the plastic was damaged. The gibbons have access to these housing facilities and therefore the objects within them. The broken and chewed plastic cannot be properly cleaned and sanitized. The licensee must maintain all surfaces within a non-human primate housing facility on a regular basis. Surfaces of housing facilities, including furniture-type fixtures and objects within the facility, that cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized, must be replaced when worn or soiled. To be corrected by: October 20, 2016. 3.75(e) HOUSING FACILITIES, GENERAL. In the back holding area of Emerald Forest, near the aye-aye enclosure, a plastic bag of bedding used for the nonhuman primates had a hole in it. Some of the bedding material was lying on the ground next to the bag. The hole in the bag could potentially allow for the contamination of the bedding or vermin infestation. Outside of the Great Ape House, bales of bedding and alfalfa, intended for use and consumption by nonhuman primates, was uncovered and exposed to potential contamination. The area had a roof to protect the supplies from rain and snow, however it was open, allowing for birds to potentially fly in and defecate on the supplies and for wind to potentially blow debris onto them. In Emerald Forest and the capuchin/spider monkey/langur back holding area, the walk in refrigerator contained ventilation fans that were blowing air directly onto the uncovered food supplies. The uncovered food could potentially become contaminated from debris being blown out of the fan.

In the indoor exhibits of the Emerald Forest, there are metal tie cords with sharp points in the primary enclosures of the Golden lion tamarins and the White faced sakis. In the back holding area of Emerald Forest, there are metal tie cords with sharp points in the primary enclosure of the solitary Emperor tamarin. In the back holding area of the Congo Basin, there are metal tie cords with sharp points in the primary enclosures of the De Brazza's monkey and the primary enclosure of the Mandrill. In the back holding area of the Capuchin monkeys, Spider monkeys, and Langurs there are metal tie cords with sharp points in numerous primary enclosures. The non-human primates have access to all of the listed primary enclosures and could potentially come into contact with and injure themselves on these sharp points. The licensee must ensure that the primary enclosures have no sharp points or edges that could injure the nonhuman primates. To be corrected by: October 20, 2016 3.80(a)(2)(ix) PRIMARY ENCLOSURES. In the indoor exhibit of the Black crested macaques at the Emerald Forest, there is rust on a ceiling beam and shift door, peeling paint on the walls, and a crack in the cement between the wall and ceiling beam. In the indoor exhibit of the Red ruffed lemurs at the Emerald Forest, there is rust on the frames of the windows. In the back holding area of Emerald Forest, there is peeling paint and rust on the walls in the primary enclosure of the Wolf's guenons. In the indoor exhibit of the Ring-tailed lemurs at the Emerald Forest, there is rust around the windows.

ZooKeys 31: 229–252. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.31.170 Abstract Th e aim of this research is to outline the local occurrence and recent distribution of carnivores in Syria (Syrian Arab Republic) in order to off er a starting point for future studies. The species of large dimensions, such as the Asiatic lion, the Caspian tiger, the Asiatic cheetah, and the Syrian brown bear, became extinct in historical times, the last leopard being reputed to have been killed in 1963 on the Alauwit Mountains (Al Nusyriain Mountains). Th e checklist of the extant Syrian carnivores amounts to 15 species, which are essentially referable to 4 canids, 5 mustelids, 4 felids – the sand cat having been reported only recently for the fi rst time – one hyaenid, and one herpestid. Th e occurrence of the Blandford fox has yet to be con- fi rmed. Th is paper is almost entirely the result of a series of fi eld surveys carried out by the author mainly between 1989 and 1995, integrated by data from several subsequent reports and sightings by other authors.

Yanagisawa*, R. E. Wilson*, P. H. Kass† and F. J. M. Verstraete* *Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences and † Department of Population Health and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, California, USA Summary Skull specimens from 836 kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis) were examined macroscopically according to predefined criteria; 559 specimens were included in this study. The study group consisted of 248 (44.4%) females, 267 (47.8%) males and 44 (7.9%) specimens of unknown sex; 128 (22.9%) skulls were from young adults and 431 (77.1%) were from adults. Of the 23,478 possible teeth, 21,883 teeth (93.2%) were present for examina- tion, 45 (1.9%) were absent congenitally, 405 (1.7%) were acquired losses and 1,145 (4.9%) were missing ar- tefactually. No persistent deciduous teeth were observed. Eight (0.04%) supernumerary teeth were found in seven (1.3%) specimens and 13 (0.06%) teeth from 12 (2.1%) specimens were malformed. Root number vari- ation was present in 20.3% (403/1,984) of the present maxillary and mandibular first premolar teeth. Eleven (2.0%) foxes had lesions consistent with enamel hypoplasia and 77 (13.8%) had fenestrations in the maxillary alveolar bone. Periodontitis and attrition/abrasion affected the majority of foxes (71.6% and 90.5%, respec- tively).

    Vocal Recruitment in Dwarf Mongooses (Helogale parvula) Janneke Rubow Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Science at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Michael I. Cherry Co-supervisor: Dr. Lynda L. Sharpe March 2017 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Janneke Rubow, March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Vocal communication is important in social vertebrates, particularly those for whom dense vegetation obscures visual signals. Vocal signals often convey secondary information to facilitate rapid and appropriate responses. This function is vital in long-distance communication. The long-distance recruitment vocalisations of dwarf mongooses (Helogale parvula) provide an ideal opportunity to study informative cues in acoustic communication. This study examined the information conveyed by two recruitment calls given in snake encounter and isolation contexts, and whether dwarf mongooses are able to respond differently on the basis of these cues. Vocalisations were collected opportunistically from four wild groups of dwarf mongooses. The acoustic parameters of recruitment calls were then analysed for distinction between contexts within recruitment calls in general, distinction within isolation calls between groups, sexes and individuals, and the individuality of recruitment calls in comparison to dwarf mongoose contact calls.

  • Notes on the Distribution, Status, and Research Priorities of Little-Known Small Carnivores in Brazil
    Notes on the distribution, status, and research priorities of little-known small carnivores in Brazil Tadeu G. de OLIVEIRA Abstract Ten species of small carnivores occur in Brazil, including four procyonids, four mustelids (excluding otters), and two mephitids. On the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species eight are assessed as Least Concern and two as Data Deficient. The state of knowledge of small carnivores is low compared to other carnivores: they are among the least known of all mammals in Brazil. The current delineation of Bassaricyon and Galictis congeners appears suspect and not based on credible information. Research needs include understanding dis- tributions, ecology and significant evolutionary units, with emphasis on theAmazon Weasel Mustela africana. Keywords: Amazon weasel, Data Deficient, Olingo, Crab-eating Raccoon, Hog-nosed Skunk Notas sobre la distribución, estado y prioridades de investigación de los pequeños carnívoros de Brasil Resumen En Brasil ocurren diez especies de pequeños carnívoros, incluyendo cuatro prociónidos, cuatro mustélidos (excluyendo nutrias) y dos mephitidos. De acuerdo a la Lista Roja de Especies Amenazadas de la UICN, ocho especies son evaluadas como de Baja Preocupación (LC) y dos son consideradas Deficientes de Datos (DD). El estado de conocimiento de los pequeños carnívoros es bajo comparado con otros carnívoros y se encuentran entre los mamíferos menos conocidos de Brasil. La delineación congenérica actual de Bassaricyon y Galictis parece sospechosa y no basada en información confiable.

  • 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.

  • My Somali Book, a Record of Two Shooting Trips
    10 MY SOMALI BOOK to learn new things, and wonderfully bright and in- telligent. He is untiring on the march, often a reckless hunter, and will stand b}^ his master splendidly." And again, " I have made many jmigle trips in India and elsewhere, yet in no country have I had such obedient and cheerful followers and such pleasant native companions, despite their faults, as in Somali- land." This estimate is every bit as true as the other. The Somali of the interior is not, as a rule, dishonest, though he can be an exasperating liar on occasion. And he is usualty decent in his dress. Naturally indolent, he prefers to see the women do the work, but he has plenty of energy when he chooses to give it exercise, and in this respect is seen at his best on a shooting trip. And there is no doubt of his courage. A Mahomedan of the Shafai Sect, the Somali is sometimes very particular about his religious observances, but the Arab despises him as not a true Mahomedan at all. There is no occasion to detail the principal tribes, which are split up into innumerable sub-divisions. But mention must be made of the Midgdns, an outcast tribe of professional hunters. They hunt with bow and poisoned arrow, sometimes with dogs, and are wonderful trackers. As to the provision which the country makes for the hunter : the principal game to be met with in Northern Somaliland comprises Elephant, Black Rhinoceros, Lion, Leopard, Chita (hunting-leopard). MY SOMALI BOOK 11 Warthog, Ostrich, and twelve species of Antelope, to wit, Greater and Lesser Kudu, Or3^x (Beisa), Swa3aie's Hartebeest, Sommering's Gazelle (Somali-^Oi(/), Waller's Gazelle (Gerenuk), Clarke's Gazelle {Dibatag), Speke's and Pelzeln's Gazelles (both Dhero in Somali), Baira, Klipspringer {Alahlt) and Phillips' Dik-dik {Sdkdro).

  • Surra Importance Surra, Caused by Trypanosoma Evansi, Is One of the Most Important Diseases of Animals in Tropical and Semitropical Regions
    Surra Importance Surra, caused by Trypanosoma evansi, is one of the most important diseases of animals in tropical and semitropical regions. While surra is particularly serious in Murrina, Mal de Caderas, equids and camels, infections and clinical cases have been reported in most Derrengadera, Trypanosomosis, domesticated mammals and some wild species. T. evansi is transmitted mechanically El Debab, El Gafar, Tabourit by various tabanids and other flies, and it can readily become endemic when introduced into a new area. The morbidity and mortality rates in a population with no immunity can be high. In the early 1900s, an outbreak in Mauritius killed almost all Last Updated: September 2015 of the Equidae on the island. More recently, severe outbreaks have been reported in the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. In addition to illness and deaths, surra causes economic losses from decreased productivity in working animals, reduced weight gain, decreased milk yield, reproductive losses and the cost of treatment. Etiology Surra is caused by the protozoal parasite Trypanosoma evansi. This organism belongs to the subgenus Trypanozoon and the Salivarian section of the genus Trypanosoma. Two genetic types of T. evansi, type A and type B, have been recognized. Most isolates worldwide belong to type A. Type B, which is not recognized by some diagnostic tests, has only been detected in parts of Africa as of 2015. Whether T. evansi should be considered a distinct species, separate from T. brucei, is controversial. Species Affected The principal hosts and reservoirs for T. evansi are reported to differ between regions; however, camels, equids, water buffalo and cattle are generally considered to be the major hosts among domesticated animals.
