  • War and the White Rhinos
    War and the White Rhinos Kai Curry-Lindahl Until 1963 the main population of the northern square-lipped (white) rhino was in the Garamba National Park, in the Congo (now Zaire) where they had increased to over 1200. That year armed rebels occupied the park, and when three years later they had been driven out, the rhinos had been drastically reduced: numbers were thought to be below 50. Dr. Curry-Iindahl describes what he found in 1966 and 1967. The northern race of the square-lipped rhinoceros Ceratotherium simum cottoni was once widely distributed in Africa north of the equator, but persecution has exterminated it over large areas. It is now known to occur only in south-western Sudan, north-eastern Congo (Kinshasa) and north-western Uganda. It is uncertain whether it still exists in northern Ubangui, in the Central African Republic. In the Sudan, where for more than ten years its range has been affected by war and serious disturbances, virtually nothing is known of its present status. In Uganda numbers dropped from about 350 in 1955 to 80 in 1962 and about 20-25 in 1969 (Cave 1963, Simon 1970); the twelve introduced into the Murchison Falls National Park in 1960, despite two being poached, increased to 18 in 1971. But the bulk of the population before 1963 was in the Garamba National Park in north-eastern Congo, in the Uele area. There, since 1938, it had been virtually undisturbed, and, thanks to the continuous research which characterised the Congo national parks before 1960, population figures are known for several periods (see the Table on page 264).

The prevalence of helminths in some common antelopes, warthogs and a bushpig in the Limpopo province, South Africa Authors: Little work has been conducted on the helminth parasites of artiodactylids in the northern 1 Ilana C. van Wyk and western parts of the Limpopo province, which is considerably drier than the rest of the Joop Boomker1 province. The aim of this study was to determine the kinds and numbers of helminth that Affiliations: occur in different wildlife hosts in the area as well as whether any zoonotic helminths were 1Department of Veterinary present. Ten impalas (Aepyceros melampus), eight kudus (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), four blue Tropical Diseases, University wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus), two black wildebeest (Connochaetes gnou), three gemsbok of Pretoria, South Africa (Oryx gazella), one nyala (Tragelaphus angasii), one bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus), one Correspondence to: waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus), six warthogs (Phacochoerus aethiopicus) and a single bushpig Ilana van Wyk (Potamochoerus porcus) were sampled from various localities in the semi-arid northern and western areas of the Limpopo province.

  • Wildlife and Wild Places in Mozambique K
    Wildlife and Wild Places in Mozambique K. L Tinley, A. J. Rosinha, Jose L. P. Lobao Tello and T. P. Dutton This account of the national parks, reserves and other places worthy of pro- tection in Mozambique gives some idea of the wealth of wildlife in this newly independent country. One special reserve has 25,000 buffaloes—the largest concentration in the world. Protected conservation areas in Mozambique fall into six categories: 1. Parques nacionais - national parks; 2. Reservas especiais - special game reserves; 3. Reservas parciais - partial reserves; 4. Regimen de vigilancia - fauna protection zones; 5. Coutadas - hunting and photographic safari areas, normally run on a private concession basis; 6. Reservas florestais - forest reserves. Some unique areas are still outside this system but have been recommended for inclusion, together with other ecosystems worthy of inclusion in the future. Game farming or ranching is attracting considerable interest; one private and one government scheme have been proposed. NATIONAL PARKS 1.* Parque Nacional da Gorongosa (c. 3770 sq km). Situated at the southern limit of the great rift valley with an extensive flood plain and associated lakes, this park includes Brachystegia woodland Acacia and Combretum savanna. Sharply rising inselbergs (volcanic protrusions) are also a feature. The ungulates are typical floodplain species, including elephant (abundant), buffalo, wildebeest, waterbuck, zebra, reedbuck, impala and oribi; on the elevated woodland and savanna habitat there are black rhino, eland, Lichten- stein's hartebeest, sable, kudu, nyala, Sharpe's grysbok, suni, blue and grey duiker, and klipspringer are common on rock outcrops; lion, leopard and hippopotamus are abundant. Both land and water birds are prolific and diverse, and crocodiles are very common.

  • A Scoping Review of Viral Diseases in African Ungulates
    veterinary sciences Review A Scoping Review of Viral Diseases in African Ungulates Hendrik Swanepoel 1,2, Jan Crafford 1 and Melvyn Quan 1,* 1 Vectors and Vector-Borne Diseases Research Programme, Department of Veterinary Tropical Disease, Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria, Pretoria 0110, South Africa; [email protected] (H.S.); [email protected] (J.C.) 2 Department of Biomedical Sciences, Institute of Tropical Medicine, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +27-12-529-8142 Abstract: (1) Background: Viral diseases are important as they can cause significant clinical disease in both wild and domestic animals, as well as in humans. They also make up a large proportion of emerging infectious diseases. (2) Methods: A scoping review of peer-reviewed publications was performed and based on the guidelines set out in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews. (3) Results: The final set of publications consisted of 145 publications. Thirty-two viruses were identified in the publications and 50 African ungulates were reported/diagnosed with viral infections. Eighteen countries had viruses diagnosed in wild ungulates reported in the literature. (4) Conclusions: A comprehensive review identified several areas where little information was available and recommendations were made. It is recommended that governments and research institutions offer more funding to investigate and report viral diseases of greater clinical and zoonotic significance. A further recommendation is for appropriate One Health approaches to be adopted for investigating, controlling, managing and preventing diseases. Diseases which may threaten the conservation of certain wildlife species also require focused attention.

Nature Conservation 37: 151–160.https://doi. org/10.3897/natureconservation.37.37590 Abstract Hunting and related bushmeat trade are activities which negatively impact wildlife worldwide, with serious implications for biodiversity conservation. Angola’s fauna was severely decimated during the long-lasting civil war following the country’s independence. During a round trip from Lubango (Huíla province), pass- ing through the provinces of Benguela, Cuanza sul, Luanda, Bengo and finally to Uíge, we documented a variety of bushmeat trade, mainly along the roadside.

  • Mammal Species Richness at a Catena and Nearby Waterholes During a Drought, Kruger National Park, South Africa
    diversity Article Mammal Species Richness at a Catena and Nearby Waterholes during a Drought, Kruger National Park, South Africa Beanélri B. Janecke Animal, Wildlife & Grassland Sciences, University of the Free State, 205 Nelson Mandela Road, Park West, Bloemfontein 9301, South Africa; [email protected]; Tel.: +27-51-401-9030 Abstract: Catenas are undulating hillslopes on a granite geology characterised by different soil types that create an environmental gradient from crest to bottom. The main aim was to determine mammal species (>mongoose) present on one catenal slope and its waterholes and group them by feeding guild and body size. Species richness was highest at waterholes (21 species), followed by midslope (19) and sodic patch (16) on the catena. Small differences observed in species presence between zones and waterholes and between survey periods were not significant (p = 0.5267 and p = 0.9139). In total, 33 species were observed with camera traps: 18 herbivore species, 10 carnivores, two insectivores and three omnivores. Eight small mammal species, two dwarf antelopes, 11 medium, six large and six mega-sized mammals were observed. Some species might not have been recorded because of drought, seasonal movement or because they travelled outside the view of cameras. Mammal presence is determined by food availability and accessibility, space, competition, distance to water, habitat preferences, predators, body size, social behaviour, bound to territories, etc. The variety in body size and feeding guilds possibly indicates a functioning catenal ecosystem. This knowledge can be beneficial in monitoring and conservation of species in the park. Keywords: catena ecosystem; ephemeral mud wallows; habitat use; mammal variety; Skukuza area; Citation: Janecke, B.B.

  • Module # 1 – Component # 4 Steenbok
    WildlifeCampus – The Behaviour Guide to Mammals of the RSA Lowveld 1 Module # 1 – Component # 4 Steenbok Raphicerus campestris TRAITS. A small reddish antelope with big round ears, rudimentary tail, slender build with long legs and well developed hindquarters. Height and weight : 50 cm (45-60 Kg); males 10.9 kg, females 11.3 kg (9.7 - 13.2) (Botswana population). Horns: sharp upstanding spikes 9 - 19 cm, ringed only at base. No false hooves; bare muffle, smooth, glossy coat Coloration :Geographically variable: Bright rufous (East Africa) to rufous-fawn and rufous-brown; underparts, under-tail, and inside ears white; triangular black marking on nose, dark crescent on crown, and dark- fringed ears; sexes alike, newborn same colour but woollier coat. Scent glands: smallish preorbital glands, larger in male; pedal glands in all feet, no inguinal glands, and possibly a throat gland. Mammae: 4 DISTRIBUTION Like the dik-diks and various other arid zone mammals, the steenbok has a disjunct distribution on either side of the Miombo Woodland Zone. It was formerly found to the Uganda and Somali borders, but Mount Kenya is now the northern limit of its range. In southern Africa it is common in suitable habitat practically everywhere south of the Zambezi and southern Angola, including the Kalahari but only along major rivers in the Namib Desert. Steenbok © WildlifeCampus WildlifeCampus – The Behaviour Guide to Mammals of the RSA Lowveld 2 RELATIVES The two grysboks, Raphicerus sharpel and R. melanotis, are enough alike to be considered a super-species and are geographically isolated. The Cape grysbok has a very restricted distribution at the tip of South Africa, and Sharpe's grysbok replaces the steenbok in the Miombo Zone.

  • Samburu National Reserve Lake Nakuru National Park
    EAST AFRICAN BIRDING EAST AFRICAN BIRDING Herds of zebras and wildebeest grazing endless grasslands studded with flat- Samburu NR Shaba NR SOMALIA topped acacia trees, dramatic volcanic UGANDA Buffalo Springs NR calderas brimming with big game and Kakamega Forest predators, red-robed Maasai herding Mt Kenya NP eastern Mt Kenya skinny cattle – these are well-known images of quintessential Africa, and Lake Victoria Lake Nakuru NP they can all be discovered in Kenya and KENYA Tanzania. Less well known is that each Nairobi Masai Mara NR country hosts more than 1 000 bird species. This diversity, combined with a superb network of protected areas, ex- Serengeti NP PROMISE Amboseli NR cellent lodges and friendly people, prompts Adam Riley to recommend them as top birding destinations. Although there are many excellent locations within each nation – think Masai Mara, Amboseli and Kakamega in Kenya and Ngorongoro Mt Kilimanjaro Crater Selous, the Eastern Arc Mountains and Zanzibar in Tanzania – he describes here just six that shouldn’t be missed. • Arusha They can all be visited in one two-week trip, starting in Nairobi and ending in Arusha. Any time of year is good, even TANZANIA the April–May rainy season when the scenery is lush and there is less dust, and when there are fewer tourists and • Mombasa N Tarangire NP rates are lower. Expect to net about 450 bird and more than 50 mammal species on an adventure to these parks.
