Ruffed grouse weigh about 1½ pounds on the average. The predominant color may be gray or reddish-brown. Nests on the ground, often at the base of a tree; one brood per year. The male displays to attract females he fans his tail, erects the black ruff on his neck, and beats cupped wings to make a booming sound, called drumming. Food: buds, fruits and leaves of aspen birch, beech and maple; grapes, other fruits and nuts. Grouse populations peak about every 10 years. Game bird. WHITE-TAILED DEER The whitetail, which had virtually disappeared here by 1900, has become a common sight across the state through careful management, including regulated hunting. Male deer, or bucks, shed their antlers yearly and grow a new set each spring. Well nourished females (does) often have twin or triplet fawns every year. In spring and summer, deer eat green plants; in fall and winter they switch to acorns and other nuts, twigs and buds. If fed rich food such as corn in winter, they may get sick and die. Like cattle, deer are ruminants. The whitetail is our State Game Animal.

Natural History A Compendium of Environmental and Resource Information Wildlife in the Columbia Basin Wildlife Subjects Mustelids (Weasel Family) Introduction 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. Badger The badger, a grassland species, suffered greatly from eradication efforts of ranchers who historically considered it "vermin," with some justification because of the hazard its holes posed for livestock. Badgers are strong burrowers, excavating dens and holes to dig out ground squirrels, a major prey item. Badgers also died as innocent bystanders when feeding on poison-laced carcasses ranchers left for coyotes. Other population pressures have included hunting, predation (e.g., by cougars and coyotes), highway mortalities, and habitat loss to reservoirs, agriculture, forest encroachment and human habitations. Badgers are currently

ARCTIC WILDLIFE How animals are adapted to live in the Arctic polar bear - caribou - musk ox - wolf - wolverine arctic fox - ermine - lemming - arctic hare arctic ground squirrel - birds - whales - harp seal - walrus ANIMALS that live on LAND POLAR BEARS spend most of their time on the pack ice or in the water, where they can hunt their favorite food - the ringed seal. The white fur helps the bear sneak up on seals that are laying on the ice packs. If the bear sees a seal's breathing hole, it waits by the hole and drags the seal out as soon as its head appears. In the summer it is harder to catch seals, so before summer comes, the bears eat as much as they can to get fat, then live off the fat in their bodies. Females dig dens in the snow where they hibernate during the worst part of the winter. The cubs are born in the den. polar bear waits for a seal *** more about the POLAR BEAR CARIBOU are members of the deer family. They move across the Arctic in large herds. Caribou eat moss, lichen and green plants. For the winter they go to the forests of the south where trees give them protection from the wind and the snow. In the spring the caribou leave the forests and go to the tundra to have their calves. A baby caribou is able to stand and walk an hour after it is born. It can run when it is a day old. The baby has enemies like wolves, bears and eagles. *** more about the CARIBOU THE MUSK OXEN have thick overcoats of shaggy long straight hair that hang down to the ground. Their undercoats are thick brown fleece. Some of the coat is shed in the summer. They huddle together in groups for protection and to keep warm. When wolves attack, the musk oxen form a circle around the calves. The adults face outward and use their sharp horns for defence.

Bighorn Sheep Black-footed Ferret A Threatened and Endangered species Description Habitat Status The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) has been considered the most endangered mammal in North America for many years. Although it was probably never abundant, historically the ferret occurred throughout the Great Plains in 12 states and two Canadian provinces, from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains east to Nebraska and from southern Canada south to Texas. Ferrets were occasionally listed in fur company records from the upper Missouri River basin in the early to mid-1800s. The ferret was held in special regard by Native Americans, who used its pelts on headdresses and in religious ceremonies. The range of the black-footed ferret coincides closely with that of three species of prairie dogs on which the ferret depends for food and habitat. As the plains were settled and large tracts of prairie were plowed for farmland

Next comes the body, long and slender, ending in a black-tipped tail. Built to squeeze into nooks and crannies, this ermine and its cousin, the least weasel, are two of the world's most efficient mousers. And, as anyone who's seen them will attest, these two weasels are also among the boldest and most agile of all Yukon mammals. DISTRIBUTION The ermine and least weasel inhabit northern countries around the world. In North America, ermine range from the Canadian high arctic to south of the Great Lakes and into the mountainous western states. Least weasels occur throughout most of the same range, but are absent from the arctic islands and western states. Both least weasels and ermine range throughout the Yukon, avoiding the depths of mature forests and preferring instead to sniff and snoop in forest edges, meadows, brushy areas, marshes, bogs, and tundra. Based on winter track surveys, Yukon ermine are fairly abundant. However, least weasels are uncommon, though not endangered, throughout most of their North American range.

Fish and Game January 31, 2005 February is a "make or break" month for New Hampshire's wildlife. Will our woodchucks, deer, bear, raccoons and skunks have enough stored fat reserves to last the rest of the winter? So far, our winter weather has been favorable for them. Snow depth has been minimal to nonexistent, with above-average temperatures for days on end. That's probably not as important for the woodchucks snuggled deep in a winter burrow, but it's certainly a critical factor in the likely survival of deer born last June. The long process of getting into winter-survival mode which began back in October slowly begins to turn around in February. Gray squirrels will soon enter the first of two yearly mating seasons, with young born as early as the first week of March in southern N.H. The lengthening days of February will drive skunks into a mating mode, as well as great horned owls. The promise of spring and fresh new life wells up within all living things in direct proportion to the longer days. February offers a hint of that promise. Eric Orff, Wildlife Biologist

Fish and Game - October 30, 2003 Welcome, wildlife-watchers! You may be ready to settle in for a winter of bird-watching, but don't put those birdfeeders out just yet, because New Hampshire's bears are still out in force. Hold off until December, says Andy Timmins, Fish and Game's bear project leader. "Given the extraordinary fall we're experiencing, with a lack of natural food crops for bears to eat, the probability of attracting bears to your feeders is extremely high," Timmins says. Heightened bear activity is also expected next spring. If you do get bear visitors at your feeders this winter, take your feeders down for several weeks.
