  • Wildlife Guide How Many of These Have You Spotted in the Forest?
    FOREST OF DEAN / SAVERNAKE FOREST / SNOWDONIA Wildlife GuidE How many of these have you spotted in the forest? SPECIES FOREST OF DEAN Sheep The Forest of Dean is famous for its large population of free roaming sheep derived from many breeds and include welsh mountain, speckled faced or cheviots with the occasional kerry or ryeland. The sheep have been around for hundreds of years and are likely to continue to be part of the Forest scenery. Best time to see sheep: All year round Deer In Norman times, the Forest was protected as a games reserve where red, roe and fallow deer and wild boar were hunted. Today, it is only fallow or roe deer that can be found. Early morning or dusk is the time when you are most likely to see deer in the Forest. Best time to see Fallow deer: All year round Wild Boar Wild boar were once common in England, but were hunted to extinction at least 300 years ago. In recent years, small populations of wild boar have become established again in the wild, with the Forest of Dean's wild boar poppulation now the largest that exists in England. Boars are best spotted early morning or in the evenings in the Forest of Dean. Best time to see Wild Boar: All year round SAVERNAKE FOREST A small bird of prey, the Sparrowhawk is perfectly adpated for hunting birds in small enclosed woodlands. Listen out for the alarm calls of smaller birds as they spot a Sparrowhawk, alerting other birds in the area to the danger.

  • Placental Haemophagous Organs in the Procyonidae and Mustelidae
    PLACENTAL HAEMOPHAGOUS ORGANS IN THE PROCYONIDAE AND MUSTELIDAE R. F. S. CREED and J. D. BIGGERS Royal Veterinary College, London, N.W. 1, and the King Ranch Laboratory oj Reproductive Physiology, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, U.S.A. {Received 9th January 1964) Summary. A description is given of some of the gross anatomical characteristics of the placenta of representatives of five carnivore species of the families Procyonidae and Mustelidae. Emphasis is laid on the occurrence of well-defined haemophagocytic structures in these placen- tae, which have not, hitherto, been investigated. INTRODUCTION Recently, the name haemophagous organ was proposed for a particular structure found in the raccoon {Procyon lotor lotor L.) placenta (Biggers & Creed, 1962). This highly vascular sac-like structure, which hangs into the allantoic cavity, is of macroscopic dimensions and emerges from a central antimesometrial region of the placental annulus in this procyonid carnivore (Pi. 1, Fig. 1). It increases in size and complexity until about two-thirds to three-quarters of the gestation period has elapsed, after which it regresses. Morphologically it is quite distinct from the rest of the placenta which is labyrinthine, and histo¬ logical examination shows it to be made up of a series of branching and anasto¬ mosing lamellae which consist of a thin core of foetal mesenchyme, containing foetal capillaries, lined on either side by tall foetal columnar epithelial cells. Interlamellar spaces are filled with maternal blood which gains access from the maternal side at the base of the haemophagous organ, and bathes the foetal columnar epithelium. The cells of this epithelium bear every indication of being phagocytic and appear to be concerned essentially with the ingestion of maternal blood corpuscles (Biggers & Creed, 1962; Creed & Biggers, 1963a, b).

  • The Striped Skunk Mephitis Mephitis Is About the Size of a Cat, but Has a Stout Body, a Rather Small Head, Short Legs, and a Bushy Tail
    Introduction This animal • produces an odour that is strong enough to be carried almost 1 km on the wind • is one of the most useful small mammals that inhabit Canada’s mixed farmlands, grasslands, and forests • gathers leaves for its den by placing them under its body and then shuffling along with the leaves held between its legs • annoys farmers by raiding beehives and henhouses, but in fact almost 70 percent of a skunk’s diet is estimated to benefit people Description The striped skunk Mephitis mephitis is about the size of a cat, but has a stout body, a rather small head, short legs, and a bushy tail. Its small head fits conveniently, but sometimes too snugly, into enticing open jars. The thick, glossy fur is black, with a thin white stripe down the centre of the face and a broad white stripe beginning on the back of the head, forking at the shoulders and continuing as a white stripe along each side of the back to the base of the tail. The tail is mostly black, but the stripes may extend down it, usually to a tuft of white at the tip. The skunk has long, straight claws for digging out the burrows of mice, ripping apart old logs for grubs and larvae, and digging in the sand for turtle eggs. It moves slowly and deliberately and depends for safety not on running away or on remaining inconspicuous, but on its scent glands. Skunks belong to the weasel family Mustelidae, all of whose members have well-developed scent glands and a musky odour.

  • Royle Safaris Sichuan Mammals Tour Trip Report
    In March 2019 Royle Safaris ran our second specialist Sichuan Mammals Tour with a focus on a particularly special species. The trip was run with Martin Royle, Roland Zeidler & Sid Francis as our guides. We visited 3 different locations (covering the rugged bamboo forests of the greater Wolong ecosystem, the high altitude grasslands of Rouergai and the wonderful forests of Tangjiahe. We were very successful with sightings of 44 different species of mammals and over 100 species of birds including Giant Panda, Red Panda, Pallas’s Cat, Chinese Mountain Cat, Indochinese Leopard Cat, Particoloured Flying Squirrel, Golden Snub-nosed Monkey, Chinese Ferret Badger, Eurasian Otter and Chinese Pipistrelle. We ran a second Sichuan’s Mammals Tour (back to back with this one) in April 2019 and we had even more success in some areas. The sightings log for that trip will follow in a few days. We have started to promote our 2020 Sichuan Mammals Tour (with special focus on a particular special species for half of the trip); we have already received many bookings on these two trips. Our first tour for 2020 (9th – 22nd March 2020) has just one place remaining and our second tour for 2020 (25th April – 8th May 2020) which also has only one place remaining. We have also started offering places on another specialist mammal tour of China, visiting Qinghai and the wonderful Valley of the Cats. This tour is for July 2020 (1st – 15th July 2020) and focuses on Snow leopards, Eurasian lynx, Himalayan wolf, Himalayan brown bear, Tibetan antelope, Wild Yak, White-lipped deer, Alpine musk deer, Glover’s pika, Bharal, McNeil’s deer and many more species.
