Wildlife Releases breadCrumbsKWST(">","index.html","breadcrumbscrumbstyle","breadcrumbstitlestyle","None",0); Pest Eradication Planning for a pest free Sanctuary The key to restoring the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary back to its pre-human state is to permanently remove introduced pests. The presence of introduced mammalian pests such as possums and stoats has had a dramatic effect on the range of native wildlife and plants in the valley. Possum browsing was responsible for removing an estimated 400 tonnes of vegetation (leaves, fruits and flowers) from the valley a year, and was severely affecting regionally rare plant species such as northern rata, tree fuchsia and kohekohe. Possum Feral cat Habitat loss and predation from rats, stoats, ferrets and cats saw the number of native bird species that would have been present in the valley decline from about 20 to less than 10, all in low numbers. Restoration of the forest, and the return of locally extinct wildlife species such as kiwi, kaka, tuatara and native bats, would not be possible without the eradication of these pests.

Home ­º­¶ Urban Mammals Herbivore Carnivore Weasels ... 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.

46. Kenai National Wildlife Refuge As a matter of fact, I am almost certain it was a weasel. It was a least weasel, known to science as Mustela nivalis, the smallest living weasel. http://kenai.fws.gov/overview/notebook/2001/dec/28dec01.htm

Article Dated December 28, 2001 Unusual mammal may be roaming woods of peninsula by Ted Bailey Several years ago, I am 99 percent certain that I saw a mammal not previously recorded to the best of my knowledge on the Kenai Peninsula. It was in the early fall with a light dusting of snow on the ground. I was in a vehicle with a witness when this unexpected mammal ran into the middle of the road and stopped briefly to stare at the truck. I got a good look at it. I had seen one like it more than 30 years ago, thousands of miles away. Although this mammal is apparently widespread throughout mainland Alaska, I could find no museum record of it from the Kenai Peninsula. But its distribution maps are shaded on the Kenai Peninsula, indicating its expected presence. You may be asking, what was this strange mammal? A mountain lion? A flying squirrel? No, this was a very small mammal the smallest of its family. My first impression when I saw it dart out of the brush was that it was an extremely large red-backed vole. But when it stopped in the middle of the road and raised its almost snake-like head, I knew that it was no red-backed vole. This small mammal had a very long neck, short feet and short tail, and it loped across the road like a little weasel. As a matter of fact, I am almost certain it was a weasel. It was a "least weasel," known to science as Mustela nivalis, the smallest living weasel. I had seen several least weasels years ago while working in the Midwest. They were captured incidentally in small live traps set out by a graduate student that I knew, who was capturing mice and voles for a research project. One least weasel that he caught died in the trap. I obtained the tiny carcass to make a study skin and to save the skull.

Rod R. Blagojevich, Governor DNR Links About DNR Agency Offices Get Involved Grant Info ... State Museums Search DNR Illinois [IL Search Tips] Least Weasel - Scientific name Mustela nivalis Habitat Habits Foods Reproduction ... Conservation Two species of weasels live in Illinoisthe long-tailed weasel and the least weasel. The long-tailed weasel is two to three times larger than the least weasel. Both have long, slender bodies, short legs, and a broad, slightly flattened head that's barely larger around than the neck. Male long-tailed weasels are larger (13 to 16 inches in length; 6 to 16 ounces) than females (11 to 14 inches in length; 3 to 9 ounces). The tail is nearly half as long as the head and body combined and has a distinctive black tip. The least weasel is the smallest living carnivore in Illinois. Males are up to 10 inches in length (including the tail) and weigh 2.1 to 3.2 ounces. Females are up to 9 inches in length and weigh 1.2 to 2.5 ounces. The tail is less than one-fourth of the length of the head and body combined. Both species have a summer coat that's reddish-brown or tan except for a yellowish-white belly. Weasels begin shedding their summer coats during early fall and replace them with winter coats that tend to be lighter in color. In parts of northern Illinois, the winter coat is nearly all white, helping them to blend in with a snowy background and avoid detection by predators like hawks and owls. Further south (where snow cover is uncommon), the winter coat can have patches of brown and white or remain mostly brown like the summer coat. Weasels molt again in the spring, replacing their winter coats with darker summer colors.

49. You Little Weasel! Maligned and misunderstood, weasels deserve a closer look. Christian W.Cold is a DNR wildlife technician and educator stationed in Ladysmith. http://www.wnrmag.com/stories/1998/feb98/weasel.htm

From the February 1998 issue: You little weasel! Maligned and misunderstood, weasels deserve a closer look. Christian W. Cold Hunters of mice Weasel biology How to find a weasel Survival is the objective of the day, every day, if you are little. And danger is always nearby when you are a weasel. Creatures larger than you are out there, listening, and watching with hungry eyes. You avoid their attention by remaining tentative; carefully choosing when to move. You travel about your 40-acre universe in a state of perpetual tension, keenly aware of every sound, every smell and every motion around you. Finding a meal is work. Avoiding becoming a meal is even tougher. As both hunter and hunted, you bear the risks by constantly moving. If you tarry, you die; if your prey hesitates, it dies. Your quarry takes many forms – most are smaller than you, but similar in appearance. Their scent lingers everywhere, but they vanish when you arrive. Your prey cringes in terror in your presence... with good reason. Weasels have an image problem. We are quick to condemn them as corrupt, greedy little villains who sneak around and kill with deadly efficiency for no reason whatsoever. We’ve historically viewed weasels as pests, varmints or scraps of fur only suitable for a decorative trim on collar or cuff. It’s a wonder that weasels have endured such a hostile world.

50. Winter Weasel Watch I firmly believe that watching wildlife improves the quality of life. During winter, the ermine or shorttailed weasel (Mustela erminea) sheds its dark http://www.wnrmag.com/stories/1997/feb97/ermine.htm

February 1997 Winter weasel watch A determined ermine will never be bested by a mere red squirrel. Timothy Sweet My wife couldn't wait to tell me a week or so ago that an old friend had returned to our wetland woods. She was the one who spotted it in the yard the first time it showed up three years ago. I had just put one of the kids in the bathtub when she called me to come and look out the dining room window at an unusual white animal climbing the trunk of a cedar tree where we had hung out suet for the woodpeckers. I excitedly informed her that we had a weasel in out back yard. A second later, the doorbell rang. I opened the door, and before the Electrolux salesman could open his mouth and start his pitch, I grabbed him by the arm and pulled him into the house saying, "Hey, have you ever seen a weasel before? Neither have we. Come on in." I firmly believe that watching wildlife improves the quality of life. The stunned vacuum cleaner salesman seemed to agree. During winter, the ermine or short-tailed weasel (Mustela erminea) sheds its dark brown coat and replaces it with an all-white covering, except for a black tip on the tail and a hint of black on the nose. The sleek winter white coat is near-perfect camouflage for life in snow country. The ermine's cold-weather covering is valued highly by trappers, and the black-tipped tails have long been part of the traditional trim on garments worn by kings and queens. Male ermine are almost twice as large as females, varying in length from 7½ to 13½ inches. Featherweights of the mammal kingdom, the ermine weighs in at a slight 1 7/8 to 6 3/8 ounces.

IN THE WILD HOME Animals Animal Tracks Bird Watching ... NDOW Home In the Wild Nevada Wild Features Main Nevada Wild Features Page The American Marten By: Jill Olson This American Marten was kind enough to stop and pose for a rare photo. This marten attempt to get an easy meal, and is out on a rarely seen daytime adventure. What are marten searching for as they trek their home ranges for a scrumptious meal? Marten are carnivores, or meat-eaters, that hunt mice, voles, squirrels, chipmunks, and birds like the blue grouse (though they are not much bigger than their winged prey). Although they hunt mainly on the ground, they are fast enough to catch squirrels in the forest canopy. They also eat insects, earthworms, eggs, seeds, and berries to supplement their meal in the summertime. American marten are part of the weasel family, and one of the few of that family that climb trees (fishers, long-tailed weasels and short-tailed weasels will climb trees as well). Other members of the weasel family found in Nevada include mink, river otter and badger. Marten are found in forested areas throughout North America, including the Sierra Nevada, and span from northern New Mexico to the northern limit of trees in arctic Alaska and Canada. They are also sporadically present in the Great Lakes region. Currently, Nevada is one of six states in which marten may not be legally taken at any time or in any area.

SUBSCRIBE NOW to Pesticide News for the most comprehensive quarterly information on pesticide problems and alternative developments, with extensive articles, resources, news and reviews on UK, European and global developments https://secure.virtuality.net/panukcom/subs.htm PAN International Website Rodenticides impact on wildlife The control of rodent pests is essential in many environments, indeed it is a legal requirement for land owners and local authorities. The main weapons in the battle against rats and mice are anticoagulant rodenticides, which inhibit the vitamin-K cycle, prevent blood clotting and cause death from internal bleeding. Warfarin, developed in the 1950s, is probably the best known anticoagulant, but second-generation compounds, such as difenacoum and bromadiolone, are now the most widely used. Anticoagulants are acutely toxic to most mammals and are highly effective control agents because of their cumulative effect and low lethal dosage. Usage of anticoagulants is most common in and around buildings, and certain active ingredients, such as flocoumafen and brodifacoum, are only licensed for indoor use. However, farmers and gamekeepers also commonly use anticoagulants away from farm buildings, to protect feed hoppers and root crop clamps. When rodenticides are used away from buildings it becomes much harder to control their impact on non-target species. Other mammals, such as rabbits, mice and voles are just as likely to ingest the cereal based bait and these species form a major part of the diet of many predators. Anticoagulants have long biological half lives, so predators may be especially vulnerable as residues from each contaminated prey item accumulate in the liver.

Far too young to be out of the den, the weasel was sparsely furred and his eyes had not yet opened. He was brought to PAWS to be raised until he was able to fend for himself. Upon arrival he was found to be a bit thin (even for a weasel), but he was otherwise in excellent health. He was started on a specialized milk formula and quickly began to put on weight. Soon his eyes opened, and solid food was introduced by mixing it with the formula in a dish. The weasel took to solid food quickly and was soon weaned off of the formula. About three weeks after he was admitted, weasel 04-0817 was moved to an outdoor cage where he would complete his growth and develop his running and climbing abilities. By mid-June the weasel had passed all appropriate tests and was deemed fit for release.
