Have FONZ Membership Card, Will Travel One of the great benefits of being a FONZ member is free or discounted admission to other reciprocating zoos and aquariums , and in some cases, discounts in their shops. The American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) sponsors a Reciprocal Admissions Program (RAP), in which the National Zoo participates. Not all AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums grant reciprocal benefits. Under RAP, participating zoos and aquariums agree to grant free admission to current members of other participating institutions. RAP covers admission to the main facility on normal operating days and hours but may exclude exhibits or events requiring an additional fee. The number of visitors admitted with a family membership may vary depending on the zoo or aquarium, and the maximum age of children so admitted may also differ. Participating institutions may treat membership categories, parking fees, guest privileges, and gift shop discounts differently. In addition to RAP participants, other zoos and aquariums offer admission and other discounts to members of other institutions on a case-by-case basis.

EDITORIAL Dodo , the annual publication of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. In it, an article by Eluned Price et al. Dodo Vol. 35, pp. 57–66) draws attention to the growing number of field studies pointing to the importance of insects, and other animal matter, in the natural diet of Callitrichidae. This may explain these animals' high protein requirement, which captive diets in the past often failed to satisfy. To take one more example, how much do we know about the extent, or benefits, of eating soil? In another letter ( I.Z.N. 45:6, pp. 366–367) Clinton Keeling described how George Jennison, director of Manchester's Belle Vue Zoo, was so convinced of the importance of earth in the avian diet that he ordered small dishes of it to be provided for many of the birds in the collection. I would be interested to hear comments on this idea – or the other points raised above – from readers with practical experience in zoo animal nutrition.

Canada Lynx
Lynx canadensis
Status
Native to both Newfoundland and Labrador. Habitat Prefers old growth boreal forests with dense undercover, but the lynx will live in other habitats where undercover and prey numbers are adequate. They are often found in regenerating forests after a fire - where the snowshoe hare population has increased. When prey is scarce in the forested areas, the lynx will venture on to the tundra for food. Range Found in the boreal forest across Canada from Newfoundland to the Yukon Territory. Lynx are usually found in areas that are occupied by snowshoe hare. Food During the winter, about 75% of the lynx’s diet is snowshoe hare. Lynx populations peak approximately every 10 years, shortly after a peak in the snowshoe hare’s population cycle. Also, the lynx population will decrease after a crash in the snowshoe hare population. When snowshoe hare numbers are low, the lynx’s diet is supplemented by various rodents and birds such as voles, squirrels, grouse and sparrows. Moose and caribou (usually calves) may account for some of the lynx’s diet, but they rarely attack large prey. The lynx is nocturnal and hunts at night. It uses its sight and hearing mainly for hunting, focusing less on its sense of smell. To catch prey, the lynx will wait silently near a trail for movement. The lynx stalks and ambushes its prey.

26. Khasam
During his years here at the Calgary Zoo, he has sired eight offspring (1994 and 2000) some of whom eventually went on to reside in other canadian zoos.
http://www.calgaryzoo.org/HotNews/khasam.htm
Khasam
January 20, 2004 The Calgary Zoo is sad to announce that their male Siberian (Amur) tiger, Khasam (15 years old) has terminal bone cancer. Khasam has been demonstrating intermittent lameness that had been responding to medication. However, recent tests by Zoo veterinarians have determined that he has an inoperable form of cancer. The veterinarians and keepers are doing everything they can to minimize his discomfort and ensure his quality of life.
Calgary Zoo staff and volunteers are deeply saddened today following the difficult decision to euthanize Khasam, a male Siberian (Amur) tiger. Khasam was recently diagnosed with aggressive terminal bone cancer. Khasam was anaesthetized today to allow reproductive physiologists from the Toronto Zoo to collect semen so that his genes can be frozen for future breeding purposes. Veterinarians and keepers decided to euthanize Khasam following this procedure as, despite palliative care treatment, the keepers observed his deteriorating condition over the last few days and did not want him to enter a period of prolonged suffering.
The Calgary Zoo would like to acknowledge the overwhelming number of condolences received from all over Canada.

    Animals are better off in zoos
    A zoo is an unnatural and foreign environment that exposes animals to dangers they would otherwise not encounter in the wild. By forcing non-indigenous species to coexist and placing them in close proximity to humans, zoos inevitably become a breeding ground for disease. Animals in zoos are often exposed to chemicals, solvents and other toxic substances. In an effort to control their behavior, animals are often forcibly medicated and tranquilized. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for visitors to tease and provoke confined animals. Herpes Virus Proves Lethal for Young Elephants in Zoos
    Close Contact Between Species in Captivity Strengthens Virus Scientists at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD and the National Zoo is Washington, D.C. recently isolated and identified a lethal form of the herpes virus that has killed at least 10 elephants living in U.S. zoos. The researchers said the herpes virus strikes young Asian elephants who are bred in zoos and have close contact with African elephants, who act as carriers. The virus is not deadly for African elephants, causing at most a few minor skin irritations. However, using DNA analysis, the scientists determined that Asian elephants are carriers of a different type of herpes virus that kills young African elephants.

    Khasam is dying Sad news from the Calgary Zoo site The Calgary Zoo is sad to announce that their male Siberian (Amur) tiger, Khasam (15 years old) has terminal bone cancer. Khasam has been demonstrating intermittent lameness that had been responding to medication. However, recent tests by Zoo veterinarians have determined that he has an inoperable form of cancer. The veterinarians and keepers are doing everything they can to minimize his discomfort and ensure his quality of life. Khasam has been a very significant contributor the Species Survival Plan for Siberian (Amur) tigers. (Species Survival Plans are organized breeding recommendations designed to ensure the best possible genetic diversity within a species in captivity.) Khasam came to us as a rescue tiger in 1991, wild caught in Russia following a request to remove a number of tigers who were encroaching on human residences. During his years here at the Calgary Zoo he has sired eight offspring (1994, 1996 and 2000), who eventually went on to reside in other Canadian Zoos. Because of his wild caught status, Khasam's genes are still valuable to the captive breeding program for Siberian (Amur) tigers. A reproductive physiologist from the Toronto Zoo will join the animal health care staff of the Calgary Zoo to collect semen from Khasam so that his genes can be frozen for future breeding purposes.

    Dhaliwal Takes Steps to Address Lien Report Recommendations Related to DFO's Marine Mammal Program
    July 24, 2001 OTTAWA Herb Dhaliwal, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), today announced that his department will coordinate development and implementation of standards for the care and maintenance of marine mammals in captivity, in cooperation with the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) and the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA). The move comes in response to a report by Dr. Jon Lien of Memorial University, Newfoundland. Dr. Lien was commissioned by DFO to conduct a comprehensive review on live capture and captivity of marine mammals in Canada and its relevance to the department’s role in marine mammal management. Dr. Lien submitted his report in April 1999. "I understand that the issue of capturing and keeping marine mammals in captivity is an emotional one, and of particular interest to all Canadians who recognize the need to appreciate and protect these animals," said Mr. Dhaliwal. "While Dr. Lien’s review acknowledged the benefits of live capture and gave qualified support for marine mammals in aquariums, it also pointed out specific deficiencies and provided recommendations on how to improve marine mammal management in some key areas. "Therefore I have asked my officials to work with the CCAC and CAZA to develop standards that would address Dr. Lien’s concerns and provide public assurance for the well-being of these animals. I am pleased to announce that Dr. Lien has agreed to remain actively involved in assisting the department in the development of the standards," added Mr. Dhaliwal. "I am hoping to receive the interim guidelines next year and have the final guidelines in place within two years."

    CALL FOR PAPERS: Thinking About Animals in Canada Posted by John Sorenson on 2004 September 24 (Friday) : 09:30 AM
    from the dept.

    In November 2003, Brock University hosted a very successful international conference on "Representing Animals", which provided opportunities for a mingling of academics and activists. We would like to invite you to attend an upcoming event that we hope will be equally successful. Please circulate widely and please join us in February!
    Animals play fundamental roles in human society and our relations to them are fraught with contradictions. Although many still believe that animals are our slaves, to use as we please, attitudes are changing. This two-day conference will explore this social transformation, surveying some of the current and historical attitudes and practices towards animals in Canada.The conference is a joint effort of the Canadian Studies Association and the Brock University “Thinking About Animals” project. We welcome participation from activists and academics. The conference is free. Submissions on any topic are welcome. Possible topics include:

    Of these 232 captive tigers, 58 are in United States and canadian zoos, 58 inIndonesian zoos, 108 in Europe, 6 in Australian and 2 in Japanese zoos.

    Save the Tigers!!!
    Please, before time runs out!!!
    When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport; when a tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity. George Bernard Shaw
    The Tiger (Panthera tigris)
    There was once 8 subspecies of tiger in the wild. Today there are only 5 subspecies remaining. Our best estimates suggest that there are between 5,000 to 7,000 wild tigers remaining today. There are about 1,200 zoo tigers as well. That is as large as the numbers go for the remaining 5 subspecies of the largest cat in the world. Considering a tiger is poached everyday in India doesn't give much hope, does it? Scientists now estimate that by 2010 wild tigers will be extinct. Please don't stand idly by and watch these magnificent creatures perish... Tigers have fascinated mankind for centuries. Two Indian epics, Mahabharata and Ramayana , dating back as far as 300 BC use the tiger as representations of beauty, power and ferocity. In Pakistan, the tiger, no longer found in this country, is scultped on seals of an ancient civilization which once thrived over 5,000 years ago. The ancient peoples of China once interpreted the markings on a tiger's forehead as meaning king. In Korea, "Land of the Blue Dragon and White Tiger," people believe a dragon guards the west while a tiger guards the east. The table shows the tigers scientific and common name and the most recent estimates of their numbers:

    Do Zoos Make Animals Crazy?
    by Barry Kent MacKay In the middle of the Kyoto Zoo in Japan is a large compound consisting of a bleak, miniature artificial mountain surrounded by a moat. The exhibit holds dozens of snow monkeys. But what pathetic animals they are, with red patches of irritated skin showing through wisps of tattered hair. The monkeys display the bored, stereotypical behavior that to some animal protectionists justifies condemning zoos. Throughout the Kyoto Zoo were similar sad sights, such as the bears pacing in small, dark, dull, concrete enclosures behind bars and heavy layers of steel mesh. People looked, took pictures, and laughed. They did not share my sadness at seeing so many animals in such pathetic circumstances. A week earlier I had visited Arashiyama, famous for its temples and shrines, and its angular, mist-softened contours like a Japanese watercolor. On a mountain that rises from river mists to dominate the landscape, Arashiyama is a wooded refuge in a region filled with cities, towns and farmland. The mountain hosts about 200 Japanese macaques, the snow monkey exclusive to Japan. Arashiyama was the first place I visited when I went to Japan last year. I wasn't disappointed. As I climbed the trail, I encountered free-roaming monkeys largely indifferent to tourists. At a high prominence there was a small restaurant enclosed in heavy-duty wire mesh. The roof was covered with monkeys, mostly young animals.

Nineteen (58%) zoos responded and of those, 7 (37%) indicated that they had tapirs with histories suggestive of vesicular skin disease. From the 7 zoos with affected tapirs, 27 animals (18 T. indicus T. terrestris ) experiencing a total of 116 episodes of skin disease were identified. Forty-eight percent (13) of the animals experienced more than one episode (mean 4.3 episodes per animal, range 1-24 episodes), and the mean duration of veterinary attention required per episode was 11.5 days (range 1-64 days). Previously affected females were 3.2 times more likely to suffer multiple episodes than previously affected males. The mean duration between episodes in repeatedly affected animals was 208 days (range 12 days-4.6 yrs). During 1991 the incidence rate was 0.36. The mean age of onset of the disease was 4.4 yrs (range 0.3-10.9 yrs). The lesions typically were characterized by coalescing hemorrhagic vesicles and bullae with 80% of the cases having lesions distributed along the dorsal midline. No fatalities have been attributed to this disease and all affected animals appear to recover fully regardless of the treatments given. No causal factors or effective treatments were noted.
