Guess Who? Trivia Activity UAMN Virtual Junior Curators: Marine Mammals Guess Who? Trivia Play a game to explore fun facts about Alaska marine mammals! Materials Needed: Printable trivia cards and species cards, scissors, bag or other small container, pencil. Prepare the Cards: Cut out the trivia cards along the dotted lines (try not to peek at the answers!). Place the trivia cards in a bag or other small container. Cut out the species cards and give one to each player. How to Play: Take turns picking trivia questions from the bag and ask the other players the “Guess who?” question. For each correct answer, mark the corresponding animal on your species card. Challenge each other to mark the most species! Can you “collect” all fourteen animals? Note: Some questions have more than one correct answer. You can choose whether to mark one or all of them on your species card. Marine Mammals in Alaska The waters of Alaska are home to polar bears, sea otters, walruses, and many species of whales and seals. Some stay year-round, while others migrate north in the summer to breed. Arctic waters provide an ideal habitat for marine mammals, as they are rich in food and are a gateway to the Arctic Ocean. These waters have some of the richest marine mammal species diversity in the world (darkest areas on the map).

If you have, then you might think Hthat being called a weasel is bad. But weasels are good hunters, and they are cunning, curious, strong, and fierce. Weasels and their relatives are mammals. They belong to the order Carnivora (meat eaters) and the family Mustelidae, also known as the weasel family or mustelids. Mustela means weasel in Latin. With 65 species, mustelids are the largest family of carnivores in the world.

  • The Status of Wilderness Game in Alaska
    PROCEEDDIGS OF THE FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF WESTERN ASSOCIATION OF STA.TE GAME AND FISH COMMISSIONERS TUCSON, ARIZONA JUNE 10-12, 1963 -l~******** OFFICERS Robert J. Smith, President Ben Glading, Secretary Arizona California Walter J. Everin, 1st Vice President Montana Walter T. Shannon, 2nd Vice President California THE STATUS OF WILDERNESS GAME m .ALASKA ~ 1 ' JAMES W,. BROOKS .ALASKA DEP.AR'IMEJNT OF FISH .AND GAME The commonly held belief that wilderness types of wildlife cannot exist in close proximity to man or his land developments has helped to stim­ ulate the recent establishment of immense game refuges in Alaska and a contin­ uing agitation for additional wilderness areas and national parks. The belief stems from the early and permanent decl:lnes outside of Alaska suffered by wilderness species such as the timber wolf, grizzly bear, mountain sheep, and caribou which apparently coincided with the advance of civilization. In most cases it has been difficult or impossible to precisely identify proximate causes for such declines, though direct killing by man, diseases, change or usurption of habitat, or simply the presence of man or his cultural elements in the environment were undoubtedly involved. In .Alaska at this time we r...ave an opportunity to observe the reaction of various species and populations of wilderness types of wildlife to known influences. Our game research and man­ agement programs in most instances were initiated prior to significant hun1an intervention in the ecology of these forms •. The present status of wilderness types of :wildlife in Alaska often reflects the response of these animals to known levels and :types of exploi­ tation or other disrupting influences.

  • WLD What Bear Goes Where MI Adaptation
    DNRE - Wildlife Division Michigan Adaptation What Bear Goes Where? Teacher Plan Nuts and Bolts Objective: Students will [1] identify three species of bears and their habitats, and [2] generalize that animals have adapted in order to live where they do. Grade level: K – 4 Time: about 30 minutes Group size: Three groups of three to six students each. Setting: Indoors The major purpose of this activity is for students to recognize that animals can adapt to living in different environments, as shown in the example of three different kinds of bears. Materials Pictures of the three North American bear species, three large sheets of paper with the outline of one bear species on each and labeled, construction paper, pencils, scissors, glue. Background Information Polar bears have long necks, slender heads, and are white in appearance. They live along the Arctic coasts, mostly on the polar ice. The carnivorous polar bears feed mainly on fish and seals. Their thick fur keeps them warm, and the webbing between their toes makes them good swimmers. Unlike other bears, they have fur on the soles of their feet. Grizzly bears can dig up most of their food and can catch fish with their long claws. They also have a distinctive hump between their shoulders. They eat roots, tubers, gophers, marmots, and smaller rodents as well as carrion (rotten meat). They Adapted from Project Wild K-12 Curriculum and Activity Guide. Council for Environmental Education 2004. Lesson: What Bear Goes Where?

  • Gay Subculture Identification: Training Counselors to Work with Gay Men
    Article 22 Gay Subculture Identification: Training Counselors to Work With Gay Men Justin L. Maki Maki, Justin L., is a counselor education doctoral student at Auburn University. His research interests include counselor preparation and issues related to social justice and advocacy. Abstract Providing counseling services to gay men is considered an ethical practice in professional counseling. With the recent changes in the Defense of Marriage Act and legalization of gay marriage nationwide, it is safe to say that many Americans are more accepting of same-sex relationships than in the past. However, although societal attitudes are shifting towards affirmation of gay rights, division and discrimination, masculinity shaming, and within-group labeling between gay men has become more prevalent. To this point, gay men have been viewed as a homogeneous population, when the reality is that there are a variety of gay subcultures and significant differences between them. Knowledge of these subcultures benefits those in and out-of-group when they are recognized and understood. With an increase in gay men identifying with a subculture within the gay community, counselors need to be cognizant of these subcultures in their efforts to help gay men self-identify. An explanation of various gay male subcultures is provided for counselors, counseling supervisors, and counselor educators. Keywords: gay men, subculture, within-group discrimination, masculinity, labeling Providing professional counseling services and educating counselors-in-training to work with gay men is a fundamental responsibility of the counseling profession (American Counseling Association [ACA], 2014). Although not all gay men utilizing counseling services are seeking services for problems relating to their sexual orientation identification (Liszcz & Yarhouse, 2005), it is important that counselors are educated on the ways in which gay men identify themselves and other gay men within their own community.

  • Sea Otters Look but Don't Touch
    SEA OTTERS LOOK BUT DON’T TOUCH It is illegal under the Marine Mammal Protection Act to touch a marine mammal without proper authorization*. This protects both you and the animal. Contact with a sea otter, even in an attempt to help it, may place both the rescuer and the animal at greater risk than non-contact would have. Sea otters: ● are powerful animals that can inflict serious injuries if they become alarmed or are incorrectly handled. ● may carry diseases that are harmful to people and domestic animals ● are susceptible to diseases carried by humans and domestic animals, including pets ● are highly adapted to their environment and can generally survive better there than in captivity. Many veterinarians will not accept sea otters into their clinics because of the potential for transmittal of diseases to their domestic patients. Most attempts to rescue sea otters by untrained personnel end in death or injury to the animal and often result in injury to the would-be rescuer. You and the animal will usually both be better off if you seek help from a trained wildlife professional. If you have concerns about marine mammals not under the authority of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service such as whales, seals, and sea lions, please contact National Marine Fisheries Service (1-206-526-6733). The following guide provides information on how to respond to the stranding of a dead or live sea otter in Washington. What to do if you find a LIVE sea otter in distress? DO NOT APPROACH OR PICK UP THE ANIMAL.

Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) 8.F.4 values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a F-IF.6 table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.★ F-BF.1 Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities.★ F-LE.5 Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context. Interpret the slope (rate of change) and the intercept (constant term) of a linear model in the S-ID.7 context of the data. Procedures: A.) In “Animal Tracking”, students will practice proportions and use animal tracking mathematics to estimate the size of a population. B.) In “Endangered Species or Invasive Species?”, students will analyze patterns, write functions and predict the future. The population data is from the IUCN and WWF; however, numbers were slightly adjusted to make it an authentic pattern assignment. C.) In "Surviving Extinction”, students will use data to analyze pre-conservation and post-conservation data to answer questions about once critically endangered species.

KUMARA2,3 AND MEWA SINGH2,4 1Accepted November 2006 2 Biopsychology Laboratory, University of Mysore, Mysore 570 006, Karnataka, India. 3Email: [email protected] 4Email: [email protected] During a study from November 2001 to July 2004 on ecology and status of wild mammals in Karnataka, we sighted 143 animals belonging to 11 species of small carnivores of about 17 species that are expected to occur in the state of Karnataka. The sighted species included Leopard Cat, Rustyspotted Cat, Jungle Cat, Small Indian Civet, Asian Palm Civet, Brown Palm Civet, Common Mongoose, Ruddy Mongoose, Stripe-necked Mongoose and unidentified species of Otters. Malabar Civet, Fishing Cat, Brown Mongoose, Nilgiri Marten, and Ratel were not sighted during this study. The Western Ghats alone account for thirteen species of small carnivores of which six are endemic. The sighting of Rustyspotted Cat is the first report from Karnataka. Habitat loss and hunting are the major threats for the small carnivore survival in nature. The Small Indian Civet is exploited for commercial purpose. Hunting technique varies from guns to specially devised traps, and hunting of all the small carnivore species is common in the State. Key words: Felidae, Viverridae, Herpestidae, Mustelidae, Karnataka, threats INTRODUCTION (Mukherjee 1989; Mudappa 2001; Rajamani et al. 2003; Mukherjee et al. 2004).
