Reticulated Giraffe (Giraffa Cameloparadalis) Orangutan Main Entrance Animals Reticulated Giraffe (Giraffa cameloparadalis) Name Sex Birth Year Individual History Casper Male Oct. 31, 2003 Born at Milwaukee Zoo; Wisconsin Diet: Herbivore; acacia leaves, wild apricots, shoots, fruits, other vegetation Range/Habitat: Central, Eastern and South Africa; open grasslands Life Span: 25 years Gestation: 13-15 months; one calf Conservation Status: Least Concern Interesting Facts: Giraffes are the tallest land animals reaching heights of 18 feet. Their tongue can be up to 18 inches long. When giraffes stand in an up, their 2ft long, 25 pound heart pumps blood upwards with great pressure to reach their brain. However, when they lower their heads to drink, one way valves will regulate the blood’s force and flow to prevent brain damage. The giraffe was once called “camel-leopard,” hence the species name, camelopardalis. Reticulated means “box like pattern.” Giraffes spend 16 to 20 hours a day eating and only need 5 to 30 minutes of sleep. They often achieve that in quick naps that may last only a minute or two at a time. Main Entrance Animals Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) Name Sex Birth Year Individual History Kimmie Female Dec. 18, 1978 Born at San Diego Zoo Pumkin Male Sept. 8, 1985 Born at the Los Angeles Zoo; California Diet: Omnivore; fruits, leaves, occasionally insects, small mammals Range/Habitat: Borneo and Sumatra; tropical rainforest Life Span: 30-50 years Gestation: 9 months; 1 offspring Conservation Status: Endangered (poaching, habitat loss, pet trade) Interesting Facts: Orangutans, much like chimps, use tools for problem solving and to obtain food. For example, they use a leaf as an umbrella or a stick to look for food in a hole. Males and females can be distinguished by presence of check pads. The males develop their cheek pads between 13 to 15 years of age when they reach maturity, though some males will not develop them. Male orangutans can be five feet in height and four to seven times stronger than a human. In Malay “orang” means person and “utan” derived from “hutan” which means forest. Therefore, the word orangutan literally means “person of the forest.” Female orangutans have eight year intervals between births, the longest of all great apes. 1 Sumatran Tigers (Panthera tigris sumtrae) Name Sex Birth Year Individual History Emerson Male Nov. 24, 2006 Born at the Sacramento Zoo; California Sari Female Dec. 5, 2006 Born at the Topeka Zoo; Kansas Eko Male May 20, 2014 Born at the Jackson Zoo to Sari and Emerson Diet: Carnivore; large mammals such as deer, cattle, boar, tapir Range/Habitat: Indonesian Island of Sumatra; evergreen forest, freshwater swamps Life Span: 12-15 years Gestation: 3-4 months; 1-5 cubs Conservation Status: Critically Endangered (poaching, habitat loss) Interesting Facts: Sumatran Tigers are the smallest tiger species weighing between 165-300 pounds.

Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Name Sex Birth Year Individual History Squirt Male Unknown Wild caught in Mississippi Diet: Herbivores; leaves, berries, grain, buds, carrion (dead meat) Range/Habitat: Southeastern United States; woodlands Life Span: 100 years Incubation: 2.5-3 months; 4-7 eggs Conservation Status: Threatened Interesting Facts: The gopher tortoise is unique in that it is one of the few tortoises to actually make large burrows. Their large burrows can be 40 feet long and 10 feet deep; the burrows are vital shelters for over 250 species. These tortoises take up to 21 years to mature. Gopher tortoises rarely drink (or are rarely seen drinking) from standing water. They can use their front flipper like legs to dam-up water as it runs down their burrow during a rain. The sex of the offspring is determined by the temperature of the sand or dirt where the nest is incubating. If the temperature is above 85° F, the tortoise’s hatchlings will be females; temperatures below 85° F produce males. 4 Jewels of South America Spider Monkey (Ateles paniscus) Name Sex Birth Year Individual History Debbie Female Jan. 1, 1970 Donation from the Brownsville Zoo; Texas Has given birth to several young Miracle Male Jan. 3, 2002 Born at the Jackson Zoological Park; MS Destiny Female May 4, 2005 Born at the Jackson Zoological Park; MS Diet: Omnivore; fruits, leaves, seeds, bird eggs, insects Range/Habitat: Southern Mexico to Brazil; tropical forest and rainforest Life Span: 12-25 years Gestation: 7-7.5 months; 1 offspring Conservation Status: Endangered (habitat loss, hunting) Interesting Facts: The tail is prehensile and is used as a fifth hand which can be used to support their total body weight while hanging from a tree limb or can be used to pick up small objects.

  • About Pigs [PDF]
    May 2015 About Pigs Pigs are highly intelligent, social animals, displaying elaborate maternal, communicative, and affiliative behavior. Wild and feral pigs inhabit wide tracts of the southern and mid-western United States, where they thrive in a variety of habitats. They form matriarchal social groups, sleep in communal nests, and maintain close family bonds into adulthood. Science has helped shed light on the depths of the remarkable cognitive abilities of pigs, and fosters a greater appreciation for these often maligned and misunderstood animals. Background Pigs—also called swine or hogs—belong to the Suidae family1 and along with cattle, sheep, goats, camels, deer, giraffes, and hippopotamuses, are part of the order Artiodactyla, or even-toed ungulates.2 Domesticated pigs are descendants of the wild boar (Sus scrofa),3,4 which originally ranged through North Africa, Asia and Europe.5 Pigs were first domesticated approximately 9,000 years ago.6 The wild boar became extinct in Britain in the 17th century as a result of hunting and habitat destruction, but they have since been reintroduced.7,8 Feral pigs (domesticated animals who have returned to a wild state) are now found worldwide in temperate and tropical regions such as Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia and on island nations, 9 such as Hawaii.10 True wild pigs are not native to the New World.11 When Christopher Columbus landed in Cuba in 1493, he brought the first domestic pigs—pigs who subsequently spread throughout the Spanish West Indies (Caribbean).12 In 1539, Spanish explorers brought pigs to the mainland when they settled in Florida.

  • About the Symbolism and Message of the Mosaic on the Floor of the Refectory of the Episcopal Residence
    About the Symbolism and Message of the Mosaic on the Floor of the Refectory Of The Episcopal Residence Anica Gorgievska NI Institute and Museum – Bitola [email protected] Keywords: the mosaics of Heraclea Lyncestis; art; symbolism, message. Among the many other mosaics in Heraclea, the mosaic on the floor of the room with the apse, the so called refectory of the Episcopal residence, dated from the second half of the VI Century, is also very impressive. This room, which covers a surface of around 100 m2, has a rectangular section which on the east side ends with an apse - semicircular on the inside and rectangular on the outside. 1 The mosaic in the apse is geometrical and consists of a semicircular zone with a so called “fish bone” decoration in a frame shaped as a rope, while the aisle mosaic is figural. The composition in the aisle consists of a rectangular zone and three frame zones. The rectangular zone is divided into four rectangular parts, which are also divided. This time the issue of our presentation is not the exploration of the most famous mosaic presentations of the deer, doe, lion, bull, cheetah, fish, dolphin but of those less known but none the less challenging. It is a general conclusion that in the seemingly chaotic presentation of this composition there is in fact a perfect order. Nothing is accidental. Observing field by field, turning over and reading each composition of the Christian Universe, we conclude that the field pairs gradually move forward and upward. What is at the beginning is also at the end, and vice versa.

  • First Record of an Extinct Marabou Stork in the Neogene of South America
    First record of an extinct marabou stork in the Neogene of South America JORGE IGNACIO NORIEGA and GERARDO CLADERA Noriega, J.I. and Cladera, G. 2008. First record of an extinct marabou stork in the Neogene of South America. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 53 (4): 593–600. We describe a new large species of marabou stork, Leptoptilus patagonicus (Ciconiiformes, Ciconiidae, Leptoptilini), from the late Miocene Puerto Madryn Formation, Chubut Province, Argentina. The specimen consists mainly of wing and leg bones, pelvis, sternum, cervical vertebrae, and a few fragments of the skull. We provisionally adopt the traditional system− atic scheme of ciconiid tribes. The specimen is referred to the Leptoptilini on the basis of similarities in morphology and intramembral proportions with the extant genera Ephippiorhynchus, Jabiru,andLeptoptilos. The fossil specimen resembles in overall morphology and size the species of Leptoptilos, but also exhibits several exclusive characters of the sternum, hu− merus, carpometacarpus, tibiotarsus, and pelvis. Additionally, its wing proportions differ from those of any living taxon, providing support to erect a new species. This is the first record of the tribe Leptoptilini in the Tertiary of South America. Key words: Ciconiidae, Leptoptilos, Miocene, Argentina, South America. Jorge I.

During recent field studies (1959-69) of all 17 speciesof storks, I have had opportunitiesto observespread-wing postures. in a number of speciesand under different environmentalconditions (Table i). The contextsin which thesepostures occur shed somelight on their possible functions. TYPES OF SPREAD-WING POSTURES Varying degreesof wing spreadingare shownby at least 13 species of storksunder different conditions.In somestorks (e.g. Ciconia nigra, Euxenuragaleata, Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis, and ]abiru mycteria) I observedno spread-wingpostures and have foundno referenceto them in the literature. In the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) I observedonly a wing-droopingposture--with the wings held a short distanceaway from the sidesand the primaries fanned downward--in migrant birds wetted by a heavy rain at NgorongoroCrater, Tanzania. Other species often openedthe wingsonly part way, in a delta-wingposture (Frontis- piece), in which the forearmsare openedbut the primariesremain folded so that their tips crossin front o.f or below the. tail. In some species (e.g. Ibis leucocephalus)this was the most commonly observedspread- wing posture. All those specieslisted in Table i, with the exception of C. ciconia,at times adopted a full-spreadposture (Figures i, 2, 3), similar to those referred to by Clark (1969) and Curry-Lindahl (1970) in severalgroups of water birds.
