Carrasqueira and Murta Pinheiro and the northern salinas Scientific names of plants Sado estuary, western Portugal by Teresa Farino A broad, shallow estuary to the south of Lisboa, of international significance for its breeding and wintering waterbirds and also encompassing well-conserved sand-dune habitats with a rich endemic flora. Stripeless Tree Frog Hyla meridionalis Click here for details of Teresa's wildlife trips to western Portugal The shallow alluvial basin which forms the heart of estuary is by no means untouched by man, but even so is one of the best birdwatching sites in Portugal. The conversion of large areas of peripheral marsh into rice paddies, saltpans and fish-farms has increased the range of habitats available to feeding and roosting birds, particularly when the tide is high, while Bottle-nosed Dolphin Tursiops truncatus the surrounding forests of pines and cork oak, which extend for many kilometres, are a haven for non-aquatic species.

85. Spotlight On Wildlife - Black-footed Ferret Defenders of wildlife http//www.kidsplanet.org/factsheets/ferret.html into the European Ferret (Mustela putorius) commonly known as the polecat. http://www.edu-source.com/spotlight/bfferett.html

The Black-footed Ferret is one of three species of ferrets in the world. This endangered animal requires large prairie dog colonies that provide food and shelter. In modern times rural development has fragmented and reduced much prairie dog habitat, which in turn has caused severe population declines of black-footed ferrets. Little is known about the biology of the elusive black-footed ferret. Several zoos in the United States and Canada are cooperating in the housing and breeding of the remaining ferrets. Offspring from these efforts are being reintroduced into the wild. This has had cautious success. Disease and limited prairie dog range hamper this program. A large area of prairie and very many prairie dogs are needed to support just a few black-footed ferrets. Prairie dogs comprise about 90 per cent of this animal's diet. It is estimated that a family of four black-footed ferrets will eat over 700 prairie dogs per year. Other predators rely on prairie dog populations as well. These include burrowing owls, swift fox, badgers, golden eagles and prairie falcons. The black-footed ferrets are about 20 - 24 inches long, including a 6 inch tail. They weigh up to two and a half pounds. They have short strong legs, a short furry tail and protruding ears.They have the appearance of a yellowish-brown body with a distinctive black mask across the face, and black on the feet and on the tip of their tails.

WILDLIFE TODAY That something was done to preserve the few wild animals which survived, and to re-introduce species which had become extinct, is largely due to the efforts of two men. His Majesty, the late King Sobhuza II for his patronage and active support of game conservation and Mr. Ted Reilly, founder of Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary. Reilly, returning in 1959 to the land of his birth, was unable to gain any Government support for proposals to proclaim game reserves where Swaziland's remaining wild animals could find refuge. The only land available was the family farm in the Ezulwini Valley, although not ideal, this was turned into a reserve and Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary was born Today's visitor will find a reserve of 4450 hectares located, roughly half way between Mbabane and Manzini. The altitudes ranges from 670 to 1456 metres and this Middleveld location supports both Highveld and Lowveld species of fauna. The new Sangaweni Gate, with it's impressive visual displays allows 24 access to the Rest Camp, the new Nyonyane Camp and sondzela Backpackers Lodge. The gate complex includes a traditional craft Centre where park resources are turned into saleable items by local community members. Game-viewing is possible by private car, or if so wished by open Landrover arranged through the Rest Camp reception. The following game can be seen by day or night by spotlight.

Hunting and Fishing Guide Service with Captain Gary Knight USCG Licensed Tel: 336-451-0827 Email: GKnight@polecatcreek.com Welcome to Polecat Creek Outfitters, Inc. Polecat Creek Outfitters, Inc. was established in the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina in 1999. The President of the Company, Capt. Gary Knight, grew up in the Piedmont Triad area and has hunted and fished this area for 30 years. Gary's passion for the outdoors began like most youngsters while fishing for bluegills, crappie and largemouth bass and hunting small game animals such as squirrels, rabbits, dove and quail. As his passion grew, he began hunting large game such as Deer and Turkey. He also began focusing on Striper and Crappie fishing. It wasn't long before he became interested in bow hunting which is now one of his greatest passions. Gary has another passion. He has the passion to teach and to carry on the tradition of hunting and fishing the great outdoors. He loves to teach youngsters and adults alike the positive role hunters play in conservation. Therefore, he teaches the Hunters Safety Course and the IBEP Bowhunting course sponsored by the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission. If you are interested in a fishing or hunting trip, you have come to the right spot. We work very hard to ensure you have a successful outing. We have a very high success rate on our fishing and hunting trips, but, of course, it is not 100% guaranteed. We hunt free roaming game. The game can move when ever they want or choose to feed whenever they want.

Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial Parkway. Trails follow scenic terrain and range from easy to difficult. Wildlife in Winter Because of the Snake River and nearby thermal pools, a wide variety of animals spend winter in the Flagg Ranch area. Mammals encountered in winter include moose, elk, coyotes, pine martens, weasels, river otters, beavers, red squirrels and mice. Birds include trumpeter swans, Canada geese, mallards, bufflehead, goldeneye ducks, bald eagles, great horned owls, ravens, gray jays, Clark's nutcrackers, mountain chickadees and dippers. To aid their survival, animals possess a myriad of fascinating winter adaptations: Beavers and red squirrels store food, while moose and elk subsist on body fat stored during summer. Snowshoe hares and pine martens have big feet that allow them to float on the snow surface. The white winter pelage (fur) of weasels and hares provides camouflage.

The following paragraphs cover a selection of available data but these are illustrative only and not representative of all species and schemes in the UK. A Review of British Mammals was completed in 1995 for JNCC. The review gave, for the first time, broad estimates of the populations of all native and introduced mammals that are known to have bred in GB in the last thirty years, excluding cetaceans (i.e. whales, dolphins and porpoises). Estimates were also made of the geographical distribution and population trends of each species. Table 5 and Table 6 give summary information for the 63 species currently believed to be breeding in GB.

Polecat The Polecat The polecat ( Mustela putorius ) is of considerable conservation significance in Britain. This is particularly so because of its current recolonisation of many areas of lowland Britain from which it was trapped to extinction at the end of the 19th century. The general lack of awareness and understanding of this recovery, and the paucity of information on the status, distribution and behaviour of polecats in the recently colonised areas, prompted the VWT to initiate a number of conservation-centred studies on the species. This included looking at the relationship between wild polecats and feral ferrets. In 1999 the VWT published a detailed report on the distribution and status of the polecat in Britain. A New Polecat Distribution Survey of Britain 2004-2006 The Vincent Wildlife Trust (VWT) and The Mammal Society are jointly carrying out a distribution survey of the polecat in Britain. You can help by looking out for this secretive wild mammal.

Main About: Siyabona Africa African Safari Tours [Home] Namibia Safari Tours 10 day De Luxe Safari ... 6 day Tented Safari Tour Striped Polecat Appearance: Polecats are close relatives of the African weasel, but differs in that it is larger, the coat hairs are longer, and that it has three characteristic white dots on the head. Head and body length is about 350 mm as an adult, with a 200 mm tail. Weighs between 640 and 1000 gr. The pelage of the upper parts of the body is black and white striped, with long hair. Top of the head and rest of the body is black. There are three white spots on the head, one situated in the center of the head and one above each eye. They have bushy tails. Diet Feeds mainly on rodents, but almost any small animal prey such as snakes, lizards, scorpions, spiders, centipedes and insects may be eaten. While foraging the polecat also pushes its snout into soft soil or plant litter to locate invertebrates. Breeding Breeding season extends over spring and early summer, only one litter consisting of one to three altricial young are born per season. Gestation period is 36 days. Copulation can last 60-100 minutes. The canine teeth of young appear at 33 days and the eyes open at 40 days. Subadults are able to kill small rodents at nine weeks, and young are fully grown by 20 weeks of age. Except when mating, both adult males and females occur singly. Female and young of the year remain together until her young are almost fully grown. At present it is not known whether this species, like the African weasel, is territorial.
