Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia The order name carnivora comes from the Latin words carnis (flesh) and vorare (to devour). Carnivores are predators, though many will consume a wide variety of foods. All have an acute sense of smell and have a set of teeth (dentition) adapted to cutting and tearing flesh. Their dentition includes a pair of well-developed canines , post-canines, and blade-like carnassial teeth. In general, animals in this order have strong limbs with claws. Carnivores are relatively large and intelligent. All these adaptations help carnivores catch, kill, and feed on other animals. The Cougar , is the only carnivore currently included on Georgia's Endangered and Protected Species lists. One extirpated species, the Red Wolf, is currently in a captive breeding program. The Order carnivora, which is divided into two suborders, contains 10 families, 109 genera, and 269 species worldwide (except Australia). Of these, 27 genera including 61 species occur in North America. Only 16 of the terrestrial species are found in the southeastern United States. The Family Canidae . This family includes dogs, wolves, foxes, and jackles. They are medium-sized mammals with long bushy tails and large ears. They have elongate muzzles with long powerful canines and sharp molars. Their legs are long and well adapted for running. Most have five toes on the front feet and four on the rear. When hunting, they rely more on their senses of hearing and smell than upon sight. They are intelligent and adapt their behavior to their environment. Five species are found in Georgia.

View All Read CJR Fact Check March 11, 2004 Weasel Words Check out this story that ran Tuesday on Fox News Channel and appears on FoxNews.com under the heading, "Flag on Georgia Plates Irks Environmentalists." Correspondent Jonathan Serrie reports: For years, Georgia has raised money for wildlife protection by selling custom license plates with wildlife scenes. Sales skyrocketed this year for new tags featuring the bald eagle and the American flag. But some environmentalists say they do not want to contribute to the state's wildlife protection fund through a flag-waving symbol that they believe will be seen as being linked to President Bush. Who are these "some environmentalists"? The only one mentioned in the story is a man described simply as "environmentalist Michael Moody." Moody tells Serrie, "The tag to me said politics, and the wildlife tag shouldn't be. It should be above the fray. It should be Republican. It should be Democrat. Everyone should be for the environment, and that tag doesn't say that." Campaign Desk called Serrie and asked him who Michael Moody is. He's the owner of a kayak store, who apparently describes himself as an environmentalist. Had Serrie talked to any other "environmentalists" who agreed with Moody? No, said Serrie, but he added that Moody had told him there were a few.

THE DEER FAMILY Mule Deer and White-tailed Deer Mule deer and white-tailed deer are similar in size and appearance. Their color varies with the season but is generally light brown in summer, turning dirty-gray in winter. While both species are considerably smaller than elk, the mule deer is a little stockier than the white-tailed deer. The mule deer has a white rump, a white tail with a dark tip, and large mule-like ears. It inhabits open forests along valley floors. Waterton townsite has a healthy population of mule deer. The white-tailed deer's tail is dark on top. But when the animal runs, it holds its tail erect, revealing an all-white underside. White-tails frequent thickets along the rivers and lakes of the foothills. They are most common on the British Columbia side of the Continental Divide.

Quality Control Long-tailed Weasel Mustela frenata Profile by: Pat Marklevitz Code by: Ian Bruseker Brent Johner The long-tailed weasel is the largest of the three typical weasels found in Alberta. The general slenderness of weasels is accentuated in this species, the sinuous body stretching out up to 450 mm., the tail comprising about 1/4 to 1/3 of this total. Females average about 1/8 to 1/4 smaller than males. Long-tails greatly resemble the short-tailed weasel. Both sport a black-tipped tail but the short-tailed as it's name suggests has a proportionately shorter tail. In addition the long-tail's feet tend toward brownish in summer, its upper parts are usually a lighter brown, and it's belly more orange-yellow than that of the short-tail. Both species turn white in winter, only the tail tip remaining black. Some have theorized this black tip draws attention away from the head if a predator attacks the weasel.

Both species have short legs and small, sharp, curved claws on each five-toed foot. The short-tailed weasel, Mustela erminea, (also called the ermine) is between 7.25 and 13.5 inches in length, including tail, and weighs one to three ounces. Its tail is usually less than half the length of the head and body. The long-tailed weasel, Mustela frenata, ranges in length from11.25 to 22 inches, including tail, and weighs between four and 11.5 ounces. The tail is more than half the length of the head and body in this species. The weasel's fur is short and fairly fine. The upper parts are chocolate brown with a darker face mask and black tail tip. The underparts are white, from chin to crotch and down the insides of the hind legs. The long-tailed weasel tends to a lighter brown pelage on top, and cream to dark yellow underparts. Both species, in higher elevations, molt to a winter coat in October-November. They become all white, retaining only the black tail tip.

In days gone by these tiny horses did nearly all the agricultural work of the crofts - but today they are largely replaced by - and the Shetland pony is quite scarce on its native islands However - there are many to be found in the south - where it is highly esteemed as a children's riding pony. Lucky indeed is the small child who has one of these delightful and docile ponies as his first mount. 02 THE WELSH MOUNTAIN PONY The Welsh mountain pony is a delightful little animal and makes a very good child's mount. It was formerly much used in the pits - but mechanisation has largely done away with the need for ponies in the mines. Welsh ponies vary in colour bays - greys - chestnuts and blacks are all to be met with - and a pretty sight they are when seen on a green hillside or wandering over a gorsy common - the little mares followed by their foals - with a proud stallion leading the party. 03 WILD WHITE OR PARK CATTLE Wild white or park cattle are kept in several places in Great Britain. They are fine white cattle with black or red points and date back to the Middle Ages - when the great noblemen enclosed areas of land for sporting purposes. In these parks were deer - wild boars and wild bulls. Whether the cattle were really wild or gone wild is not certain They may have been the latter. Anyhow' the breed still survives - for example the Chillingham herd in the great park at Chillingham in Northumberland - and the Chartlev Cattle at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire.

Fish and Game - October 30, 2003 Welcome, wildlife-watchers! You may be ready to settle in for a winter of bird-watching, but don't put those birdfeeders out just yet, because New Hampshire's bears are still out in force. Hold off until December, says Andy Timmins, Fish and Game's bear project leader. "Given the extraordinary fall we're experiencing, with a lack of natural food crops for bears to eat, the probability of attracting bears to your feeders is extremely high," Timmins says. Heightened bear activity is also expected next spring. If you do get bear visitors at your feeders this winter, take your feeders down for several weeks.

Skunk Family: Skunk( Weasel Family(Mustelids): The weasel family in the Columbia Basin includes badger, wolverine, mink and river otter, marten, striped skunk, fisher, and, of course, weasel (long-tailed weasel and ermine) . Of these, only the badger has endangered (Red-listed) status. Fisher, the anguinae subspecies of ermine and wolverine are "vulnerable" (Blue-listed) in British Columbia. Members of the weasel family are carnivores (both meanings: they in the order, Carnivora, and they are all meat-eaters), hunting a variety of prey appropriate to their size and habitat. For example, marten tend to specialize on squirrels and voles, fisher are porcupine specialists, wolverine will eat anything up to the size of a bull caribou, mink prey on fish and aquatic amphibians and mammals (especially muskrats, where present), and otter eat almost exclusively fish. Mustelids of one species or another are nearly ubiquitous in Columbia Basin. Some mustelids also eat a considerable amount of vegetable matter; for example, the marten diet includes berries.

74. Winter Weasels Sound something like a Wolverine? It s actually an Ermine. The Ermineis a weasel found all over New England. (wildlife@EcoTarium.org) http://www.ecotarium.org/wildlife/aotm/archive/199812_weasel/

EcoTarium Home Wildlife Animal of the Month Archive Winter Weasels ( Mustelids) The name may be unfamiliar, but the stench unmistakable. Mustelids are mammals found worldwide, and are recognized by the scent produced by their well-developed anal musk glands. Examples of Mustelids living locally include skunks and river otters. Musk glands work as defense mechanisms for these creatures. They spray to keep predators away. Similar to your household pets, Mustelids also use their scent to mark territory. The EcoTarium is home to two North American River Otters. An expanded habitat and exhibit for the otters are expected to open next May. Many wild skunks also live on EcoTarium property and all over New England. Because skunks are nocturnal animals, you might not even realize they're living on your property - unless a neighborhood pet is sprayed by one. One type of Mustelid has been described as fearless, cunning and agile. Each night, it eats one-third of its body weight. Sound something like a Wolverine? It's actually an Ermine. The Ermine has a second defense mechanism, as well. In addition to its foul scent, the Ermine molts, or sheds its hair, twice a year, changing its color in the process. In the spring, the Ermine sheds its winter coat and becomes mostly brown. In the autumn molt, the Ermine's coat turns white. Camouflaged in the New England environment, the Ermine is better able to hunt and escape its predators.

This week a group that appeared to be establishing residence at Swofford Pond was notified they had reached the 14 day camping limit and would be in violation the next day. They left that afternoon. Cowlitz Wildlife Area - More Vandalism: While checking on some trees to be removed by Lewis County Public Services, Manager Patterson discovered the wildlife viewing platform handrails at the Spears Unit has been substantially dismantled, presumably the lumber was being targeted for theft. The enclosing handrails consist of 64' of 2x4 lumber top rails, and 128' of 2x6 middle and bottom rails. This malicious vandalism was reported to WDFW law enforcement, and a Sheriff's Office report will be filed.

The previous owner of the garbage was obliging enough to include several items with her name and address, information was passed on to law enforcement for follow-up.

79. Weasels: Wildlife Notebook Series - Alaska Department Of Fish And Game Weasels species description from the Alaska Departmentof Fish and Game wildlife Notebook Series. http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/furbear/weasels.php

Contacts Licenses/Permits Regulations News ... www.adfg.state.ak.us Weasels There are two species of weasels in Alaska: the short-tailed weasel or ermine Mustela erminea ) and the least weasel Mustela rixosa These furbearers are the smallest members of the family Mustelidae. Other species of mustelids in Alaska include mink, marten, river otter, sea otter, and wolverine. Weasels are more common than most people realize. Because they are small, they usually pass unnoticed unless caught in a trap or revealed by their tracks in fresh snow. Weasel tracks resemble those of the larger mink. They generally show four toe prints. The little toe seldom shows except in fresh snow or mud. Each weasel footprint is oval-shaped. In the snow, a single footprint will measure approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length and slightly less in width. The front feet of a running weasel strike the ground before the hind feet. Usually, one of the front feet falls slightly ahead of the other. The hind feet usually land in the tracks made by the front feet. Thus, the trail often appears as pairs of slightly offset prints. The distance between sets of prints is approximately 13 inches (33 cm). General description: In summer, both weasels are medium to dark brown above, with yellowish white underparts. Both species turn white in winter. The larger of the two is the short-tailed species. It can reach 15 inches (38 cm) in length and 7 ounces (198 g) in weight. The least weasel well deserves its title of the smallest living carnivore. It reaches a maximum length of 10 inches (25 cm) and a weight of 3 ounces (85 g). The short-tailed weasel's tail is one-fourth to one-third of the total body length while the least weasel's tail length comprises only about 15 percent of total body length. During all seasons the tip of short-tailed weasel's tail is black. The tail of the least weasel contains only a few black hairs.
