Jaguar Diet in the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, Belize1
BIOTROPICA 38(5): 687–690 2006 10.1111/j.1744-7429.2006.00190.x Cockscomb Revisited: Jaguar Diet in the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, Belize1 Mark Weckel2 Fordham University, Bronx, New York 10458, U.S.A. William Giuliano University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611, U.S.A. and Scott Silver Wildlife Conservation Society, Bronx, New York 10460, U.S.A. ABSTRACT The Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, Belize was established in 1986 following Rabinowitz and Nottingham’s 1986 study on jaguar diet and distribution. In 2002, we reexamined jaguar diet following two decades of mitigated human hunting of jaguar prey. We observed high overlap between historical and current jaguar diet constructs. Nine-banded armadillo remained the most frequently consumed prey item. However, collared peccary consumption increased by nearly20percent while dietary breadth decreased by 60 percent presumably reﬂecting increased prey availability following reduced human hunting pressure. Key words: Belize; Dasypus novemcinctus;diet;Panthera onca; Tayassu tajacu; tropical moist forest.

The study the Guam Bank study area (Weckel 2005). incited the Belize government to create what is now the Cockscomb We constructed jaguar diet from scats collected from 1 June Basin Wildlife Sanctuary (CBWS) effectively prohibiting hunting to 24 November 2002.

The 2008 IUCN Red Listings of the World's Small Carnivores
The 2008 IUCN red listings of the world’s small carnivores Jan SCHIPPER¹*, Michael HOFFMANN¹, J. W. DUCKWORTH² and James CONROY³ Abstract The global conservation status of all the world’s mammals was assessed for the 2008 IUCN Red List. Of the 165 species of small carni- vores recognised during the process, two are Extinct (EX), one is Critically Endangered (CR), ten are Endangered (EN), 22 Vulnerable (VU), ten Near Threatened (NT), 15 Data Deficient (DD) and 105 Least Concern. Thus, 22% of the species for which a category was assigned other than DD were assessed as threatened (i.e. CR, EN or VU), as against 25% for mammals as a whole. Among otters, seven (58%) of the 12 species for which a category was assigned were identified as threatened. This reflects their attachment to rivers and other waterbodies, and heavy trade-driven hunting. The IUCN Red List species accounts are living documents to be updated annually, and further information to refine listings is welcome.

Monkey Sanctuary
Monkey Sanctuary This centre is located in an isolated area of the Ecuadorian rainforest. The centre was established in 2006 and works in rescuing, rehabilitating and when possible releasing animals back to their natural environment. The centre works in partnership with the Ecuadorian Environmental Police (UPMA) and the Ministry of Environment in the fight against trafficking, abuse, capture and hunting of wild animals. Animal welfare is not often a high priority for many Ecuadorians and many do not understand the problems associated with keeping wild animals as domestic pets as they often become depressed/aggressive and as a result are neglected and abused and many of the animals arriving at the centre have been mistreated with either physical and/or psychological injuries. The rescue centre covers an area of over 100 hectares on the land of the Alvarez Guatactuca family. This is a Quichua family whose ancestral line over this land and area stems back hundreds of years. As a family-run rescue centre, they have a great understanding of the local community, their culture and the plight of their native wild animals. What started as a small centre for monkeys has expanded to a centre that at the request of the Government now takes in all types of wild animals. This is a great opportunity to work not only with monkeys but with a variety of exotic animals. There are currently over 60 animals at the centre which include: primates (squirrel, titi and capuchin monkeys) mammals (peccaries, coati, tayra, kinkajou, margay), reptiles (tortoises) and birds (turkey, parrots and macaws).

Domestic Pet, Exotic Animal, or Farm Animal? Pets are tame. They are companion animals and live with people in houses and on farms. Cats and dogs are well-known pets. Sometimes people keep exotic animals as pets. Even if people keep “exotic animals” from a young age, they still have wild instincts. Farm animals are raised to produce food (milk, eggs, or meat) or fiber (wool) for humans. Which animals are pets, exotic animals, or farm animals (livestock)? Farm: cow, goat, llama, pig. llama, goat, cow, Farm: Answers: Domestic Pets: cat, dog. Exotic: arctic fox, binturong, Canadian lynx, kinkajou, tiger, wolf. wolf. tiger, kinkajou, lynx, Canadian binturong, fox, arctic Exotic: dog. cat, Pets: Domestic Answers: Sanctuaries Animal sanctuaries are “forever homes.” They are safe places for animals to live for the rest of their lives. The animals will be cared for and fed but will have enough room to roam so they stay healthy. But how and why do animals get there? Animals can get hurt or orphaned. They might be hit by cars or they can be injured projecting themselves from predators. Wild animals that are unable to be returned to their native environment may live in rescue zoos, sanctuaries, or education centers.
