Extractions: Site Index BREEDING I have collected these links together to share with you, as I have found many of them to be invaluable over the past years. I must stress that the information contained in these links are not a substitute for professional Veterinary care, and should not be used for diagnosing or treating a health condition. When in doubt, call your vet! There are a tremendous number of well-written, interesting articles by highly experienced breeders which I am sure you will enjoy. Responsible breeders do not breed unless we are convinced that our knowledge, experience, and devotion to our favourite breed will result in a mating that will produce an exceptional litter of puppies, with qualities that are as near as possible to the ideal for that breed. We breed to preserve and to enhance the characteristics that make our breed unique. In short, we breed to improve. One of the major differences between an ethical breeder and a backyard breeder is that we care enough to be educated on all aspects of our breed and we take responsibility for what we produce, regardless of the cost.

Extractions: by Herb Dierking The Big, Bad Wolf "Truth is violated by falsehood, but it is outraged by silence." —Henri Fredric Amiel (qtd. in Balyeat) The recent reintroduction of the gray wolf into selected regions of the northern United States has renewed the debate of whether Canis lupis is a vicious and relentless killer or merely a misunderstood and under appreciated cog in the ecological machine. Twenty-one years after the passing of the Endangered Species Act, three packs of gray wolves were released into the expansive wilds of Yellowstone National Park, despite outspoken protests from residents and ranchers in the area. As the years have passed, the concerns of the locals have proven to be justified because of a number of incidents involving the animals which pose financial and safety hazards. Therefore, I support the removal and relocation of these wild predators from populated areas. Reintroducing: The Wolves "The first wolf released was an alpha female. I looked into the green eyes of the magnificent creature within a spectacular landscape. I was profoundly moved by the elevating nature of America's conservation laws; Laws with the power to make creation whole." — Bruce Babbitt, U.S. Secretary of the Interior (qtd. in Brown)

Babirusa - Babyrousa Babyrussa The upper canines actually grow up through the skin of it snout from the inside. They have always been scarce, but are an endangered species today. http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/babirusa.htm
Extractions: Species: babyrussa The babirusa is a wild pig with curly tusks found only on the islands of Sulawesi, Toga and Molucca of the Indonesian archipelago. Their habitat is the rainforests and canebrakes, near rivers and lowland forests. The babirusa is a very strange looking member of the pig family. They are only distantly related to other pigs, and have been given their own subfamily, the Babirousinae. There are three subspecies of the Babirusa corresponding to the areas where they are found; the Sulawesi, Togian, and Moluccan babirusa. These subspecies have different hair covering, hair color, and tusk and body sizes. Fossil studies seem to show that the babirusa may be more closely related to hippopotamuses than pigs. The name babirusa in Malay means "pig deer". It got this name from its bizarre tusks. The upper canines actually grow up through the skin of it snout from the inside. These 12 inch long tusks then grow up and curl over towards the forehead, sometimes touching the snout again. The lower canines are also very long and protrude from the sides. The two sets of tusks give the appearance of the antlers of a deer. Only the bottom tusks are used offensively. The top tusks can't be used for foraging or as weapons because they are very fragile and lose in their sockets. Females have shorter tusks, or none at all.

Callicam Marmosets and tamarins are found primarily in the tropical rainforests of South America with a few remnant populations located in Central America. The common marmoset is distributed throughout the Atlantic Coastal Forest of northeastern Brazil. The home range of a marmoset group can vary from 5,000 to 65,000 square meters (1.2-16 acres). On any one day a marmoset group will travel about 500 to 1000 meters. The common marmoset is entirely arboreal (tree dwelling) and prefers secondary or disturbed forests and edge habitat.

Here, control programs are initiated to cut down on health risks to the cows. According to Anastasia Toufexis (1995)," due to the fear associated with the vampire bat, people routinely dynamite and burn caves or roosts. Unfortunately, people also destroy very helpful, fruit eating bats that occupy the same areas. However, the vampire bat is not endangered at this point.

Mr. de Angel will be conducting a survey on the animal trade into Puerto Rico by asking several questions including: which species are most commonly imported; which illegal species are being imported; what type of enforcement is there for animal trade; and what role do veterinarians have in controlling the trade and treating of illegal animals. A clear understanding of the issues and impact of animal trade and the role that veterinarians play will be of great consequence for animals in pet shops as well as in the wild. Enoch Bergman

Site Map Black-footed Ferret Mustela nigripes Status: Extirpated Description: The Black-footed Ferret is a mammal belonging to the Mustelidae family. Mustelids have scent glands under their tail, long slender bodies, short legs and sharp claws. Black-footed Ferrets are slender animals weighing 700 to 1,125 grams (1.5 to 2.5 pounds). They are wiry mammals, and are 45 to 60 centimeters (18 to 24 inches) long, with fairly short legs. They have a black mask, black feet, and a black tipped tail. Their large front paws have well-developed claws that are used for digging. Their fur is short and yellow-buff in colour. Their bellies are lighter in colour and they have a white forehead, muzzle, and throat. Black-footed ferrets do not change colour in the winter. They have large ears and eyes but their sense of smell is probably the most important sense used for locating prey. Long-tailed weasels are sometimes mistaken for Black-footed Ferrets. Long-tailed weasels differ from Black-footed Ferrets in a number of ways. Long-tailed weasels are much smaller than Black-footed Ferrets with a length of 30 to 50 centimeters (12 to 20 inches) and a weight of 200 to 340 grams (0.44 to 0.75 pounds). Weasels are lighter in colour and the only dark spot on the body is a black spot on the tip of their tail. In the winter, the fur of the long-tailed weasel turns white. Status: The Black-footed Ferret was listed as extirpated in 1978, by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). There are only three species of ferrets in the world and the Black-footed Ferret is the only one native to North America. The historic distribution of the animal is not well known in Canada, but many people believe that it is closely linked to its primary food source, the black-tailed prairie dog (

Extractions: Gray Wolf Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Canidae Genus Canis Species: Lupus Food: The gray wolf is a carnivore, both predator and scavenger. Prey is located by chance or scent. Wolves primarily hunt in packs for large prey such as moose, elk, bison, musk oxen, and reindeer. Once these large ungulates are taken down, the wolves attack their rump, flank, and shoulder areas. Wolves control prey populations by hunting the weak, old, and immature. A wolf can consume up to 9 kg of meat at one meal. Wolves usually utilize the entire carcass, including some hair and bones. Smaller prey such as beavers, rabbits, and other small mammals are usually hunted by lone wolves, and they are a substantial part of their diet. Wolves may also eat livestock and garbage when it is available. Geographic Range: The Gray wolf is found in the northern hemisphere except tropical forests and arid deserts. Once roamed most of the northern hemisphere, now found only in Canada, northern US, Eastern Europe, and wilder areas of Western Europe and Asia. The gray wolf is most prominent in areas of open tundra and wilderness forests. The home range of gray wolves depends on food availability, season, and the number of wolves. Individual pack ranges rarely overlap and meetings between pack members often result in chases, savage fighting, and death. In Alaska, one range of a gray wolf pack was 13,000 square kilometers and the smallest range of a gray wolf pack was 18 square kilometers in Ontario.
