However, they were once found in throughout northern India, Bhutan, and Nepal. (Macdonald 1999; Massacot 2000) Biogeographic Regions: oriental native Pygmy hogs live in tall, dense grasslands that have a mixture of shrubs and trees. Within their home range of approximately 25 hectares (61 acres), family groups live in high dome-shaped nests made of grass and other vegetation. This species once occupied parts of India, Bhutann and Nepal, however today they are restricted to northwest Assam in India. Their decline is believed to be caused by elimination of their habitat through human settlement, overgrazing of livestock, commercial forestry, flood control projects and agricultural encroachment. In addition, the grassland habitat is periodically burned during the dry season by Forest Deparment personnel or by herdsman and thatch collectors, leaving no cover and thus increasing vulnerability to hunters from neighboring villages.

ALABRITE- A combination of alabaster powder and a matrix. It is a pale yellow color when new, but will darken with age. Look for mold lines, air bubbles, and a texture that fells "rougher" than true ivory. ANTLER- Antler is a natural ivory substitute. Deer, Elk, Moose and Caribou (Raindeer) antler are commonly used. Antlers are pure bone, the fastest bone growth known. Antler will generally appear more coarse and porous than bone and will lack any traces of striations and should display little or no sense of longitudinal graininess. In cross sections irregular holes appear rather than the regular narrow channels seen in bone. Except in the most heavily worked objects, traces of the spongy interior of antler are usual preserved. There is no marrow cavity as in bone.

Site Map By Andy Kerr Column #11 - Go to next column 745 words Published: 19 December 1996, Wallowa County Chieftain Since before Oregon became a territory, government has sought to eliminate the wolf in the name of protecting livestock. Such a policy, if it ever did make sense, doesn't today. The last documented wolf kill in the state was in 1963. It's time to welcome back the wolf. They might come back on their own, or they may already be here. There have been recent and numerous reports of wolves in Oregon, most often on the Rogue River National Forest. The presence of young suggest they may be reproducing. Are these a relic of the believed to be extinct Cascade timber wolf subspecies, or were they released by parties unknown, or have they moved in from elsewhere?

Extractions: Guidelines for Keeping Wolves and Wolf-Dog Hybrids In our concern for the safety of people and for the proper care of the animals, we make the following points below: Wolves and high-content wolf hybrids should never be regarded as pets. If kept in captivity, whether in zoos, wildlife parks, or by private persons, they should be maintained so as to meet certain minimum standards in keeping with their psychological and physical well-being. The wolves should be hand-raised from before the age of 14 days (no later than 21 days), to insure that they are properly socialized to people. The pups need to be isolated from adult canines except for brief visits (less than a few hours per week) for the first four months of life to properly bond with humans. They do, however, need some contact with other canines, or should be raised together in pairs or as a litter to prevent them from fully imprinting on people. If this is not done, they will be flighty and hard to handle, especially for medical treatment, for the rest of their lives. This will result in considerable behavioral stress for the animals even during routine medical care. There should be at least two animals raised together. Being highly social animals, they need companions of their own species. Wolves and hybrids raised in isolation from their own kind often display a variety of behavioral problems and abnormalities.

Extractions: Click HERE for slide show. From the early 1960s, the cheetah was regarded as an endangered species. Thanks to the work done at De Wildt, this is no longer the case. The name 'cheetah' is derived from the Hindi word 'chita' which means 'speckled'. There are normal-spotted cheetahs and king cheetahs with striped-and-blotched coats. Why was the cheetah once an endangered species? As a hunter and meat-eater, the animal is constantly in competition with humans, and particularly with farmers of livestock. A cheetah eats only fresh meat, consuming just enough to satisfy its hunger. Thus it might kill, say a calf but eat only a small part of it. These two factors make the animal despised by livestock farmers. In the wild, the cheetah falls prey most often to the lion and leopard. Today the cheetah has been exterminated from large parts of its natural habitat, and even in the wild is rarely encountered. What does the cheetah look like?
