To View Asset C:Che Commercial Fishes and Fisheries of Queensland. AN ESSAY. ]. DOUGLAS OGJLBY. 'l'm;: fa1·-stretching and deeply indented coast of Queensland, inter­ sected as it is by numerous estuaries, forms an ideal spawning and :feeding ground for many and varied prod nets of marirni life. It is not, therefore, astonishing to realize that the wealth contained within onr wak:rs is incalculable, and will at some fotnl'f! time, when exploited by more practical and ::ie::ienti:Oc methods than are now in vogue, constitute not only one of the rie::hest but assuredly one of ti.le most permanent and reliable assets of the· State; one that dmnands no outlay for its upkeep, which with bonnteomi hand ill ev1!r engaged in filling up the gap$ made in its rHnk~ by the pitiless ra.vages of man, and which is wholly unaffected by flood er drought, by internal or external eorrvnlsion. Naturally with so magnificent a coastline we :find that fishes oeeupy a foremost position in our marine economy. It has been estimated th;;t the waters of Queensland, together with the ontlying islands and reds, nourish folly a thousand distinct varieties of fishes, at least one fourth of whid1 arc edible; many of these arc no doubt destined to prove of great commm·cial importance at no very 'distant date. To attempt to give, within the limits of sur:h an 11.rticfo as this, more than a mere sketch of the marvelous wealth awaiting exploitation in our seas would be absurd, and we shall, there.fore, confine ourselves to a review of such families or groups as \\;ll eventually prove of economic value to the people of the State-). Before, however, eonuncncing' our remarks on the better known forms of edible fit'lhe~';, it is advisable to point out that much excellent and wholer,;ome food is being wasted here through the not unnatural pr~~judicc which exfats against eating the :flesh of sharks and rays. This prejudice is, however, based on a rniscouception of the faets, strengthened by the disgust and horror with which thegreatman..eatiiigsharksiiifcct the community. For instance all our rays, including the so·called "shovcl.-nose sharks" ( Rk-ynchobati.(,s and Rhinobat11s), and smaller 2 The Commercial Fishes an1l Fisl1erJes of Queensland.

Vitomir*1, Puzović Z. Dragana2 1 Clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dentistry, University of Belgrade,1 1000 Belgrade, Serbia 2 Institute of Forensic Medicine, School of Dentistry, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia. Received 29 November 2012; Accepted 24 June 2013 Abstract: Management of bite injuries of the face is a part of everyday maxillofacial practice. The aim of the paper was to evaluate the bite injuries in the maxillo-facial region and to recommend treatment protocols. Materials and methods: The study was performed as a retrospective analysis of the medical records of University Clinic for maxillo-facial surgery in Belgrade. A total of 408 patients were treated for bite injuries of the maxillofacial region according to the same surgical protocol. Results: Animal bite injuries (92.9%) were much more common than human bites (7.1%). Dog bites (98.9%) were almost exclusive among animal bite injuries. Young males (58.7%), children and adolescents (44%) are predominately involved. The most frequently injured facial structure were lips (49.2%). Human bites presented in young males (86.2%), resulted from physical conflicts (58.6%) mostly affected cheeks (50%). Majority of injuries were Lackmann`s Class I and II. Conclusions: There were no reported infections or other complications after treatment with no need for secondary reconstruction. Factors that contribute to a good clinical outcome are: stage of the injury; short time interval from the injury to the admission into the hospital; no infection signs on admission; adequate surgical protocol with antibiotic prophylaxis.

Corresponding author: [email protected] Key words human wildlife conflict, Himalayas, Panthera pardus, social survey Abstract Attacks on humans by leopards have been a serious issue for many decades in Uttarakhand, India. This study uses forest department compensation data between 1998 and 2012 to ascertain conflict intensity in Uttarakhand and examines the social aspects of the conflict using on-the-ground assessment with affected victims, their families and associates of victims as well as other stakeholders such as forest department personnel, local community members, hunters and non-governmental organizations. A total of 80 interviews were conducted in 69 villages in five Forest Divisions of Pauri Garhwal, Tehri Garhwal, Almora, Lansdowne and Mussoorie. In addition 35 stakeholders were interviewed. Based on these interviews, the nature of leopard attacks on people, the landscape in which these attacks occurred, the seasons and times during which these attacks occurred were analyzed.

  • 'Man-Eating·' Among Lions Panthera Leo with a Reconstruction of the Natural History of the 'Man-Eaters of Tsayo'
    Journal of East African Natural History 90: 1-40 (2001) THE SCIENCE OF 'MAN-EATING·' AMONG LIONS PANTHERA LEO WITH A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE 'MAN-EATERS OF TSAYO' Julian C. Kerbis Peterhans University College, Roosevelt University 430 S. Michigan Ave. Chicago, IL, 60605-1394, U.S.A. & Division of Mammals, Field Museum of Natural History Chicago, IL, 60605-2496, U.S.A. jkerbis~frrn]h.org Thomas Patrick Gnoske Bird Division, Zoology Department, Field Museum of Natural History 1400 S. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago 1160605-2496, U.S.A. tgnoske~frrn]h. org ABSTRACT The story of the 'Man-eaters of Tsavo' has been retold through script, cinema, and oral tradition in the 100+ years since their infamous 'reign of terror'. Despite their predictably broad popular appeal, the details pertaining to the natural history of these lions Panthera leo have never been reviewed. The skulls and skins of these lions have resided at the Field Museum of Natural History (Chicago) for over 75 years. An analysis of the skull of the primary culprit displays a traumatic injury that may have limited his predatory ability in subduing 'normal' prey. A sample of hairs, reflecting the diet of both man-eaters, is preserved in the broken and exposed cavities of their canines. Various additional circumstances likely contributed to their man-eating habit. The Tsavo incident closely followed the debut of rinderpest on the continent, which devastated cattle and buffalo, the primary prey of the Tsavo lion. The Tsavo 'nyika' consists of a dense thorn scrub thicket limiting visibility and passage, representing an ideal habitat for an 'ambush predator'.

Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region 850 000 People’s Republic of China [email protected] Human-Wildlife Conflict in the Chang Tang Region of Tibet Abstract The multiple-use Chang Tang and Seling Lake Nature Reserves were created in 1993 to protect the unique assemblage of large fauna inhabiting the high-altitude steppe grasslands of northern Tibet, including the Tibetan antelope, Tibetan wild ass, Tibetan brown bear, Tibetan Gazelle, wild yak, and snow leopard. Prior to creation of the reserve, many of these species were heavily hunted for meat and sale of parts. Since creation of the reserve, however, killing of wildlife by subsistence hunters and commercial poachers has declined while in the past five years a new problem has emerged, that of human-wildlife conflict. With human, livestock, and wildlife populations in the reserves all increasing, and animals apparently emboldened by reserve-wide hunting bans, all forms of human-wildlife conflict have surged rapidly since 2001.

  • Constrictor Snakes Attacks Factsheet
    factsheet Texas Incidents Involving Dangerous Wild Animals Texas currently requires permits for, but does not ban big cats, bears, and some primate species. More children have been killed or injured by captive big cats in Texas than any other state, including a 3-year-old Lee County boy and 10-year-old Yorktown girl who were both killed by pet tigers and a Channelview 4-year-old who lost his arm and a 4-year-old Harris County girl who required $17,000 in plastic surgery after being mauled by big cats. Dozens of people have been injured by primates, including a teenager and an elderly woman who were both attacked by an escaped chimpanzee, a game warden who was bitten by one of several escaped pet rhesus macaque monkeys, and a pet Java macaque who sent a woman, a child, and a firefighter to the hospital after attacking and biting all three. Date Incident Location October 16, 2011 A 4-year-old boy was attacked and mauled by a 150-pound cougar who was kept as a pet Odessa, Texas by a relative. The child was standing near the cougar's cage when the animal reached out and grabbed him. The boy was taken to hospital with significant damage to the left side of his body. The cougar was seized by animal control officials and euthanized.1 October 14, 2011 One of five capuchin monkeys kept as pets escaped from a home and was on the loose Lake Hills, Texas for five days before being recaptured. The monkey reportedly attacked a dog and charged at a man, prompting three people to shoot at the animal.2,3 September 11, 2011 A game warden with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department was bitten by one of Plantersville, Texas several pet rhesus monkeys who were on the loose as a result of forced evacuations because of wildfires in the area.

  • The Leopard Men of the Eastern Congo (Ca
    The Leopard Men of the Eastern Congo (ca. 1890-1940): history and colonial representation Vicky L. M. Van Bockhaven This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the University of East Anglia, School of Art History and World Art Studies, Sainsbury Research Unit. December 2013 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract The research begins with a sculpture representing a “Leopard Man”, threatening to attack a sleeping victim, at the Royal Museum for Central Africa, Belgium. Recently this colonial icon was criticised for presenting a racist image. Leopard men killed on behalf of chiefs in the east of Congo (ca. 1890-1940). The emergence of a mythology of leopard men is analysed in relation to its suppression as an anti-colonial movement in the colony. This research highlights the distinctive potency of ethnographic objects as proof, shaping experiences of the colonised in the colonial museum, in relation to the text-focused study of the colonial discourse. The history of leopard men is reconstructed to break away from an exotic and de-historicised understanding. Two eastern Congolese varieties, anioto and vihokohoko, are studied, from which the RMCA display was derived. The micro- histories of conflict clusters are considered in the context of the Zanzibari slave trade and the Belgian colonisation as forms of empowerment.
