  • Read more about cheetah conservation
  • 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?

    Wild Dog. What does that mean? Well, for some, Wild Dog is often used negatively. Wild Dog is not someone's pet gone wild but a legitimate term used to describe two of the most endangered carnivores in the world. The Wild Dog Foundation was formed with the intention of bringing notice to two greatly neglected carnivores. This will be done by education and with the hopes of raising funds for research projects. The Wild Dog of Africa (Lycaon Pictus) and the Dhole (Cuon Alpinus) of Asia are two forgotten carnivores in the popular world of conservation. They are often ignored along with other misunderstood Wild Dogs of the world.
    The African Wild Dog is one of the most endangered carnivores in the world. They are also the most social member of the dog family. The African Wild Dog is one of the few mammals who takes care of its old, sick and disabled. They have colorful calico coats of black, yellow and white. Their numbers have severely declined due to disease, loss of habitat and human persecution.
    Dhole Wild Dogs weigh between 35-70 lbs. As many as 40 dogs may be in a pack, but 8-15 is average.

    for National Geographic News
    October 1, 2003 Before scat-sniffing dogs were trained, researchers visually searched areas for droppings. It was a time-consuming job that wasn't always easy. Some animals defecate conspicuously but others try to hide their dung. Even when found, some scat, such as black bear and grizzly bear, look so similar that they are easily confused. Dogs make the process easier. They cover larger areas, faster and more accurately, using their powerful sense of smell. Canines can detect poop from hundreds of yards away, and find four times more samples than using other methods, such as visual observation or hair snags, said Samuel Wasser, director of The Center for Conservation Biology at the University of Washington in Seattle. "It's really a powerful tool, and we do all this without ever seeing a single animal," he said.

By Land and Sea Roz Rolland, senior scientist at New England Aquarium in Boston, Massachusetts, conducts population, health, and reproduction studies on North Atlantic right whales. The 50-ton creatures live along the east coast of the United States and are among the most endangered whales in the world, totaling 350. Unlike southern species of right whales that have rebounded since being protected, she said the North Atlantic population has not increased. To find out why, Rolland runs tests on their bright orange excrement. Researchers locate the foul-smelling feces, which floats briefly before sinking, by following their noses. But the problem, she said, is not enough samples were being collected. Last month Rolland, who is also a veterinarian, got help from some four-legged friends. Fargo, a three-year-old rottweiller, and Bob, a four-year-old beauceron mix, were sent on assignment to the Bay of Fundy in Maine, where a lot of the right whale population resides between July and October.

    Endangered Species Thailand has some of the world's richest natural habitats and is home to some unique plant and animal treasures. The country encompasses diverse kinds of natural ecosystems, ranging from the hill evergreen and coniferous forest, on the higher altitudes in the north and the upper portion of the northeast, through to moist evergreen, dry evergreen, deciduous, dipterocarps, to the lowland rainforest and coastal mangroves plus an abundance of coral reefs around the islands to the south. Diversity
    From a total land area of 513,115 sq. km, Thailand possesses an amazing diversity of living organisms; 280 species of mammals; more than 950 species of birds; 300 species of reptiles; 107 species of amphibians; 1,900 species of fish; approximately 10,000 vascular plants and thousands of insects and invertebrate species. Much of Thailand's diverse wildlife can still be found in more than 180 protected areas, with some 14% of the total land area reserved. These reserved areas consist of 89 National Parks, 47 Wildlife Sanctuaries, and 53 designated non-hunting areas. Threats
    Threatened Species

    The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed more than 35 species as critically endangered, endangered, or vulnerable with some species now believed extinct.

    The Mountain Gorilla Gorilla beringei beringei ) is one of two subspecies of Eastern Gorillas . They are only found in the Virunga volcanic mountains of Central Africa , within three national parks Mgahinga , in south-west Uganda Volcanoes , in north-west Rwanda ; and Virunga , in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It is likely that the population in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is also in this subspecies, although this is not yet clear. A census taken in has shown a 17% increase in population size since . There are now a total of 380 gorillas in 30 social groups ("Mountain Gorilla Census" ). However, Mountain Gorillas continue to be considered critically endangered on the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species. They face an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild due to habitat loss

    Interpreting the Physical evidence of predation on Domestic Livestock
    Martin B. Main
    General Comments
    Predation is a natural process whereby one animal, the predator, kills and eats another animal, the prey. Only animals that are strictly plant eaters are not considered predators. However, there are numerous other causes of animal deaths, including parasites, disease, poisonous plants, starvation, exposure to severe weather, ingestion of metal objects that penetrate the digestive tract, bloat, suffocation, lightning, and snake bite. Many predators will scavenge carcasses. Therefore, evidence of predators feeding on the carcasses of livestock does not serve as proof of predation. In general, livestock killed by predators will exhibit subcutaneous (beneath the skin) bruising and puncture wounds. Livestock that are already dead and are scavenged by coyotes and other potential predators do not exhibit bruising because their heart can no longer pump blood to the wound. Bruising beneath the skin, therefore, is a clear indication that predation has occurred. Other indications of predation include blood on the ground and with larger calves and sheep there may be evidence of a struggle, such as trampled and bloody vegetation. Individual species of predators often follow a general pattern of killing animals that helps to identify the culprit. However, some individuals within a species vary in the method of attack and feeding behavior. These behaviors may overlap between individuals of different species; thus other evidence, such as tracks and feces in the area of the carcass, are often essential to correctly identify the responsible predator.

I think endangered means some animals are almost extinct. Hunters try to kill some animals. Rhinos are endangered animals. Kohen asks: I am studying the sabre tooth tiger and I want to know, why were the tusks there? Sean Bell replies: First off, remember that the sabre tooth "tiger" isn't really a tiger, but a different form of cat. This is important, because the teeth of the different groups had an effect on the use.
    In a word, the teeth were most likely used for killing. Unlike the cats of today that kill by puncturing the neck vertebrae (small cats with small prey) or suffocating by clamping over the muzzle (large cats with large prey), sabre tooth cats couldn't have done thisthe big canines would have either gotten in the way or actually broken right off (there are a lot of fossils where this has happened anyway). Instead, the cats probably used the sabres to slash out the throats or bellies of their prey.
    You should also keep in mind that sabre tooth "cats" aren't just one species, but dozens, in several different families of mammals, including marsupials (Thylacosmilus), the modern cat family, and a few extinct groups of carnivorous mammals, the arctocyonids (hoofed predators—see the picture of Andrewsarchus I put up), the creodonts (an extinct group of carnivores only somewhat related to modern carnivores) and the nimravids (cat-like animals with short tails. Of course, these descriptions are brief, and based on material that may be old now. But sabres show up a lot in mammal evolution.
