  • Colours in Nature Colours
    Nature's Wonderful Colours Magdalena KonečnáMagdalena Sedláčková • Jana • Štěpánka Sekaninová Nature is teeming with incredible colours. But have you ever wondered how the colours green, yellow, pink or blue might taste or smell? What could they sound like? Or what would they feel like if you touched them? Nature’s colours are so wonderful ColoursIN NATURE and diverse they inspired people to use the names of plants, animals and minerals when labelling all the nuances. Join us on Magdalena Konečná • Jana Sedláčková • Štěpánka Sekaninová a journey to discover the twelve most well-known colours and their shades. You will learn that the colours and elements you find in nature are often closely connected. Will you be able to find all the links in each chapter? Last but not least, if you are an aspiring artist, take our course at the end of the book and you’ll be able to paint as exquisitely as nature itself does! COLOURS IN NATURE COLOURS albatrosmedia.eu b4u publishing Prelude Who painted the trees green? Well, Nature can do this and other magic. Nature abounds in colours of all shades. Long, long ago people began to name colours for plants, animals and minerals they saw them in, so as better to tell them apart. But as time passed, ever more plants, animals and minerals were discovered that reminded us of colours already named. So we started to use the names for shades we already knew to name these new natural elements. What are these names? Join us as we look at beautiful colour shades one by one – from snow white, through canary yellow, ruby red, forget-me-not blue and moss green to the blackest black, dark as the night sky.

Nature Conservation 43: 25–39. https://doi.org/10.3897/ natureconservation.43.59399 Abstract Indonesia is home to the Javan Leopard (Panthera pardus melas) and the Sunda Clouded Leopard (Neofelis diardi), both of which are threatened by habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict issues and the illegal wildlife trade. Leopards and clouded leopards are threatened by the illegal wildlife trade across their range, how- ever, very little is known of the illegal trade in these two species in Indonesia, or of the efforts made to tackle this crime. Both the Javan Leopard and Sunda Clouded Leopard are protected species in Indonesia and both species are listed in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), meaning commercial international trade is generally prohibited. To better understand the trade, and efforts to end this trade, we collected records of seizures and prosecutions relating to Javan Leopards and Sunda Clouded Leopards in Indonesia for the period 2011–2019.

  • Binturong (Arctictis Binturong) Animal Welfare Animal Welfare Refers to an Animal’S State Or Feelings
    Care For Us Binturong (Arctictis binturong) Animal Welfare Animal welfare refers to an animal’s state or feelings. An animal’s welfare state can be positive, neutral or negative. An animal’s welfare has the potential to differ on a daily basis. When an animal’s needs - nutritional, behavioural, health and environmental - are met, they will have positive welfare. A good life in captivity might be one where animals can consistently experience good welfare - throughout their entire life. Understanding that animals have both sentient and cognitive abilities as well as pain perception, reinforces the need to provide appropriate husbandry for all captive animals, to ensure positive welfare. In captivity, the welfare of an animal is dependent on the environment provided for them and the daily care and veterinary treatment they receive. It is therefore very important we understand their behavioural and physiological needs, so we can meet those needs in captivity. The binturong, also known as the bearcat, belongs to the Viverridae family, an ancient group of small to medium-sized mammals found only in the Old World. They live in the dense tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. Binturong smell like buttered popcorn due to their scent glands, which are situated just under the tail. The binturong has been assessed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, because of a declining population trend that is estimated at more than 30 per cent over the last three decades. The main threats to binturongs are habitat destruction, hunting, and the illegal wildlife trade. Binturongs Like Food Binturongs are in the order Carnivora, but they actually eat a lot of fruit.

  • 2013 Marked the 50Th Anniversary of Our Beloved Emerson Zooline Railroad, but There Was More—So Much More—To Celebrate
    A Message from the Saint Louis Zoo All Aboard! Full Steam Ahead! 2013 marked the 50th anniversary of our beloved Emerson Zooline Railroad, but there was more—so much more—to celebrate. It was the year we moved full steam ahead to plan for our future, build new attractions, improve our infrastructure and most important, save animals. It was the year we developed a framework plan for a site that adds 14 percent more land to the Zoo; for 3.2 million the first time in our over 100-year history, we have room to grow. It was the year we hosted our second visitors in 2013 highest number of visitors—3.2 million—despite challenging weather. It was the year we welcomed a record number of member households at nearly 53,000. It was the year our zoo-born Ozark hellbender population soared—adding yet another generation of hellbenders we can reintroduce into the wild once they mature. It was the year hundreds of American burying beetles bred at our Zoo were reintroduced in Southwest Missouri. It was the year we launched the Monsanto Education Gallery—an inviting place where young children and their adult caregivers can explore the animal world together. It was the year our fourth Asian elephant calf—beautiful Priya—was born along with five endangered Somali wild asses, a Grevy’s zebra, an okapi, nine Speke’s gazelle, two babirusa, Priya walking with her mother Ellie. five highly endangered McCord’s box turtles, two Humboldt penguins and nine ocellate mountain vipers. We also welcomed ruffed lemur triplets, a wonderful tawny frogmouth chick from Australia and many others.
