Do not approach the animal. List of Animals Select One Bees Coyotes Mountain Lions Opossums Raccoons Rattlesnakes Skunks HOW CAN I PREVENT WILD ANIMALS FROM FORAGING FOR FOOD IN MY YARD?: Skunks, raccoons and opossums are nocturnal or nighttime active animals and are often attracted to residential areas by the availability of food, water and shelter. Removing or eliminating the availability of these elements will often encourage these wild animals to leave. Remove unused pet food and water bowls at night. Keep tight fitting lids on garbage cans or store garbage inside a secure area. Do not store trash in trash bags. Gardens should be harvested frequently and windfall fruit picked up. Keep pet access doors locked.

Intro Author Subject Volume ... Home Volume XX - 1954 Bears Are Wild Animals By Donald Van Tassel, Ranger Naturalist "Where can we see a bear? " is one of the most frequent questions at Crater Lake National Park, and there is a good reason. Among the informative leaflets given those entering the park is one that says, "PARK BEARS and other animals are WILD." This and similar posters greet them at every bulletin board in the park, and the theme is repeated by Rangers during the day. According to Roland D. Walters (1953. Observations and census of the black bear in Crater Lake National Park. Nature Notes from Crater Lake 19:26-28), there are about forty-one bears that make their homes here. About half are adults over two years old. The brown and black color phases are more or less equally represented in all ages. All of these are Olympic black bears, Ursus americanus altifrontalis (Elliot). Most of the bears avail themselves of the garbage left by picnickers in the campground containers and other refuse cans located elsewhere around the park. Anyone who stays in a campground can see a bear by flashlight! And he can tell about the one that interrupted his sleep, because bruin made quite a racket during his rounds of the garbage cans, his nose tempting him into trouble. The next morning the careless camper finds opened, or carried away, such items as tin cans and sugar sacks. Usually at least one ice box has been broken into.

SITE MAP WILDLIFE NEWS WildNet Africa News Archive 50 wild animals killed by poisoned water (18 August, 1999) Over 50 wild animals were found dead on Monday after drinking poisoned water on a farm east of Messina, Northern Province. Far North police spokesperson Captain Ailwei Mushavhanamadi said yesterday farmworkers found 51 wild animals lying dead next to a 10 000-litre cement dam on Ostend Farm. The poisoned animals include 32 baboons, two impala, one jackal, one warthog, 14 birds and a monkey. "We suspect some people poisoned the water because they wanted to sell the animals' meat in nearby villages," he said. Police also found eight animal traps in the area, but no human footprints. It appeared the culprits had wiped away their tracks using the carcass of a baboon while they retreated to a road about a kilometre away from the scene. Mushavhanamadi said no arrests have been made. The water has been drained from the dam and samples had been sent to determine the type of poison used. Police have warned residents in the area, especially those living on a neighbouring lemon farm, Doreen Estate, not to buy any meat in case it came from poisoned animals. Courtesy of The Star.

Ebedes 1 Background 2 Guidelines for auction accommodation 3 Inspection of animals at live game auctions 4 References 1 Background Live game auctions are a popular method of trading wild animals in southern Africa. During the winter capture season (May to September) there may be ten or more big auctions and a few catalogue auctions in this region. Record prices are often paid at live auctions, and the prices realized often set the trend in game values for the following year. Catalogue auctions are less popular than live auctions because most game ranchers want to see or 'inspect' the animals they intend purchasing. However, catalogue auctions are probably the lesser of the two evils: the animals are captured and delivered immediately, are subjected to fewer stressors, and do not have to be kept captive for long periods. To undergo an adaptation and taming period the animals to be auctioned should be placed in the auction pens 2-4 weeks before the auction. The feeding costs involved and the additional care and management may make it uneconomical to have the less expensive and more common antelope such as impala and blesbok on the auction. These animals could be sold more profitably at catalogue auctions or through agents or private negotiation.

Flipper was actually a trained dolphin under human care who did not bite the hand that fed him. However, truly wild dolphins will bite when they are angry, frustrated or afraid. When people try to swim with wild dolphins, the dolphins are disturbed. Dolphins who have become career moochers can get pushy, aggressive and threatening when they don’t get the handout they expect. They are really wild animals who should be treated with caution and respect. Interactions with people change the behavior of dolphins for the worse. They lose their natural wariness which makes them easy targets for vandalism and shark attacks. Dolphin Encounters offers a unique opportunity to safely interact with dolphins.

McFARMS GO HOG WILD By Laura Orlando This article appeared in the July/August 1998 Dollars and Sense magazine. "One man can take care of two thousand pigs in one barn. Twenty pigs to a stall . A hundred stalls. I can pay him $25,000 and take home at least 20% on my investment, which is hovering at around $650,000; including the pigs." Jerry Sorokowski spat on the ground and dreamed of money." Multiply those barns and you multiply your money," he continued, "factory farms are here to stay." Corporate America can do the math too and in it they see a fortune to be made. Hogs, cattle, and poultry can bring healthy profits to corporate managers. The key to the bookkeeper is to put enough animals in a small enough space to keep labor costs low, land use minimal, and production predictable. The losers are the farmers squeezed out by factory farms, local economies, the environment, the animals, and the people that eat the animals. They suffer the health consequences of "meat by Fordism." Get something screwy on the assembly line and the whole lot will suffer. Works the same with pigs, cows, and chickens. A little E Coli can go a long way. Agriculture today is about more than plowing a furrow and planting seed. Cash receipts for US agricultural products are expected to top $198 billion this year. Add fishery products, imports, and processed food and expenditures swell to $620 billion. Big dollars bring the consolidation of power. Here is where agribusiness muscles out small farmers; ruining communities, degrading food safety, and causing environmental devastation in the process.

It said three pigeons and 10 water ducks also were seized, adding that all the animals were to be released in their natural habitats. It gave no other details, and forestry officials were not immediately available for comment. The restaurant owners, three of whom are foreigners, face up to seven years in prison if found guilty of killing, hunting, and selling wild and endangered animals. Armadillos and monitor lizards are among endangered species. Customers pay exorbitant prices for dishes made of wild or endangered animal meat, believing them to have medicinal properties. Many eat the exotic meat simply for the novelty.

Rats and mice are not endangered yet but they soon wil be because people kill them everyday I My animal is quite small. Mice are about the size of a small cup and rats are about the size of a three-week-old kitten. Mice and Rats can be hazel, white, black and brown. Rats and Mice will eat anything that's edible. Rats and Mice live in houses, dumps, car parks, docks and riverbanks. I learned a lot about Mice and Rats like their habitat, how long they live, their origins and lots more.. The Anaconda by Anna Egan. I pick this animal because I like powerful animals and also I could get lots of info The Anaconda is endangered because people use there skin for handbags, shoes and other items like that. The Anaconda grows to about 7.6 meters long. Its colour is light green and a bit of dark green. The Anaconda can eat two-meter caiman, and fish, water birds and other animals.

WHO In this chapter Altitude Heat and humidity Ultraviolet radiation from the sun Foodborne and waterborne health risks ... Animals and insects Further reading See here Exposure to cold: immersion hypothermia Cold, rather than simple drowning, is the main cause of death at sea. When the body temperature falls (hypothermia), there is confusion followed by loss of consciousness, so that the head goes under water leading to drowning. With a life jacket capable of keeping the head out of water, drowning is avoided, but death due directly to hypothermic cardiac arrest will soon follow. However, wearing warm clothing as well as a life jacket can greatly prolong survival in cold water. Children, particularly boys, have less fat than adults and chill very rapidly in cool or cold water. Alcohol, even in small amounts, can cause hypoglycaemia if consumed without food and after exercise. It causes confusion and disorientation and also, in cold surroundings, a rapid fall in body temperature. Unless sufficient food is eaten at the same time, small amounts of alcohol can be exceedingly dangerous on long-distance swims, as well as after rowing or other strenuous and prolonged water-sports exercise. Those engaging in winter activities on water, such as skating and fishing, should be aware that whole-body immersion must be avoided. Accidental immersion in water at or close to freezing temperatures is dangerous because the median lethal immersion time (time to death) is less than 30 minutes for children and most adults.

79. Desert Animal Survival - DesertUSA Most desert animals have evolved both behavioral and physiological mechanisms to solve the heat and water problems the desert environment creates. Lack of water creates a survival problem for all http://www.desertusa.com/survive.html

Desert Animal Survival Lack of water creates a survival problem for all desert organisms, animals and plants alike. But animals have an additional problem they are more susceptible to extremes of temperature than are plants. Animals receive heat directly by radiation from the sun, and indirectly, by conduction from the substrate (rocks and soil) and convection from the air. The biological processes of animal tissue can function only within a relatively narrow temperature range. When this range is exceeded, the animal dies. For four or five months of the year, the daily temperatures in the desert may actually exceed this range, called the range of thermoneutrality. Combined with the scarcity of life-sustaining water, survival for desert animals can become extremely tenuous. Fortunately, most desert animals have evolved both behavioral and physiological mechanisms to solve the heat and water problems the desert environment creates. Among the thousands of desert animal species, there are almost as many remarkable behavioral and structural adaptations developed for avoiding excess heat. Equally ingenious are the diverse mechanisms various animal species have developed to acquire, conserve, recycle, and actually manufacture water.
