Parks Arctic Animals and Lands - Land Mammals More than 750,000 caribou live in Nunavut, and few sights are more spectacular than a massive herd of migrating caribou thundering over the tundra. The most important land mammal to the Inuit is the caribou. The meat of the caribou provides daily sustenance and its fur provides clothing. An encounter with muskoxen is a special treat. They exist in limited numbers despite a recent resurgence. One look at their shaggy coats, and you'll appreciate the important evolutionary role that the animals' thick fur has played. Barren-ground grizzlies are also spotted in the Northwest Territories. Wolves keep their distance from human settlements, but can still be tracked in the winter. The fierce wolverine, which is actually a member of the weasel family, is another northern resident. Wolverine hair is used by the Inuit to line the hoods of parkas.

In our third year of operation we examined 220 wildlife casualties, including: otters bats 19 finches and sparrows 9 barn owls 9 stoats and weasels We also had some rarities, such as a Dartford warbler and a dormouse. The Wildlife Veterinary Investigation Centre is run by Vic and Jane Simpson but early in the year we had the help of two other vets, first Becki Lawson and then Phill Elliot (both sponsored by Heligan Gardens ) and then Sue Quinney for two months in the summer. We also have two volunteers, Jan Loveridge and Jilly Hendra, who stand in for Jane when needed. PROGRESS Since starting in 2001 we have examined over 850 specimens and everyone who sent in a specimen has received a post mortem report. Hundreds of tissue samples have been analysed and hundreds more have been archived for future reference. All the information derived from the cases has been recorded on a database. What do we do with all this?

89. Weasels: Wildlife Notebook Series - Alaska Department Of Fish And Game Weasels species description from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game WildlifeNotebook Series. http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/furbear/weasels.php

Contacts Licenses/Permits Regulations News ... www.adfg.state.ak.us Weasels There are two species of weasels in Alaska: the short-tailed weasel or ermine Mustela erminea ) and the least weasel Mustela rixosa These furbearers are the smallest members of the family Mustelidae. Other species of mustelids in Alaska include mink, marten, river otter, sea otter, and wolverine. Weasels are more common than most people realize. Because they are small, they usually pass unnoticed unless caught in a trap or revealed by their tracks in fresh snow. Weasel tracks resemble those of the larger mink. They generally show four toe prints. The little toe seldom shows except in fresh snow or mud. Each weasel footprint is oval-shaped. In the snow, a single footprint will measure approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length and slightly less in width. The front feet of a running weasel strike the ground before the hind feet. Usually, one of the front feet falls slightly ahead of the other. The hind feet usually land in the tracks made by the front feet. Thus, the trail often appears as pairs of slightly offset prints. The distance between sets of prints is approximately 13 inches (33 cm). General description: In summer, both weasels are medium to dark brown above, with yellowish white underparts. Both species turn white in winter. The larger of the two is the short-tailed species. It can reach 15 inches (38 cm) in length and 7 ounces (198 g) in weight. The least weasel well deserves its title of the smallest living carnivore. It reaches a maximum length of 10 inches (25 cm) and a weight of 3 ounces (85 g). The short-tailed weasel's tail is one-fourth to one-third of the total body length while the least weasel's tail length comprises only about 15 percent of total body length. During all seasons the tip of short-tailed weasel's tail is black. The tail of the least weasel contains only a few black hairs.

Personalize Site / Sign up for DOW Insider WEASELS O f the 11 members of the weasel family known in Colorado, only two actually are called weasels: the long-tailed weasel and the short-tailed weasel, or ermine. Both of these species have black-tipped tails, but they are readily distinguished from L ong-tailed weasels live statewide in Colorado in most habitats, perhaps favoring brushy areas at the edge of forests where their rodent prey is most abundant. Short-tailed weasels occur mostly in the mountains. In addition to mice, weasels eat shrews, chipmunks, small ground squirrels, nestling rabbits and ground-nesting birds. They are quite capable of subduing animals larger than they by wrapping their long body around the prey and killing it with a quick bite at the base of its skull. Although owls take a few weasels, no predator can afford to make a staple of another predator. R eproduction involves mating in summer, a long delay in implantation of embryos and gestation of about 30 days. Four to nine tiny young are born in April. Back to "Lions, Ferrets & Bears" Home Page

Of the family known as the musteleleds, weasels can be found in a variety of central Oregon habitats, ranging from the Cascade Mountain crest to the desert scrublands. Species occurring in central Oregon include, the weasel, otter, wolverine, mink, fisher, and marten. Weasels are small to medium sized carnivores with short muzzles, short legs with five toes on each foot, highly developed anal scent glands, and small rounded ears. All species of the weasel family are predators, preying upon terrestrial vertebrates or aquatic species. Although many species of the weasel family are active during daylight hours, otters and weasels tend to be nocturnal.

Jack will once again be co-instructing our 2004 with Kim Monson of the University of Winnipeg. Mammals Large Herbivores: Moose (Alces alces) can occasionally be seen. Their habitat is marginal until well upriver. Woodland caribou and barren ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are seen in small numbers in the Twin lakes area. Hunting pressure makes them hard to see. Bats: The red bat (Lasiurus borealis) is rare.

97. Secret Lives Of Wildlife Exposed Weasels are only one of many species of wildlife that utilize the burrows dug bymountain beavers. Others include spotted skunks, mice, and rabbits. http://www.werc.usgs.gov/pt-reyes/movies/

Secret Lives of Wildlife Exposed For the last six years, still cameras triggered by active infrared sensors have candidly captured wildlife at Point Reyes National Seashore. Using unbaited stations along wildlife trails and at mountain beaver burrows, scientists have acquired 13,000 identifiable photographs of 58 species of wildlife, including 26 species of mammals and 30 species of birds. With these data the scientists have answered questions about habitat preference; diurnal and seasonal activity; distribution of nonnative species; and the recovery of medium-sized mammals from a 13,000-acre fire. They have also used video cameras triggered by multiple passive infrared sensors to obtain more detailed data on behavior of mountain beaver, spotted skunks, long-tailed weasels, bobcats, and mountain lions. To view the videos, click on an animal below. You will need to download the free Real Player plug-in from Real.com Mountain lions are only rarely seen at Point Reyes, but they are resident within the park year round. No one actually knows how many lions inhabit the 71,000 acre park, but based on home range estimates made elsewhere, it is likely that 4-8 lions live the area. Bobcats are common in the Point Reyes area and large individuals are sometimes confused with lions. If you see what you think might be a mountain lion, look for a long tail that could easily touch the ground. Long-tailed weasels are uncommon residents of the coastal scrub community at Point Reyes National Seashore. They feed primarily on rodents. The video shows a group of young weasels as they play at the entrance to a mountain beaver burrow. Weasels are only one of many species of wildlife that utilize the burrows dug by mountain beavers. Others include spotted skunks, mice, and rabbits.

Shoulder-Season South America from Away.com PARKS Grand Teton National Park Wildlife The Tetons owe their existence to movement along a fault found where the mountains meet the valley. Starting 5 - 9 million years ago, movement along the fault with massive earthquakes occurred every thousand years or so. The mountain block uplifted on the west side of the fault while the valley block dropped-down east of the fault. Today the mountains rise more than a mile above Jackson Hole, with total displacement of 30,000 feet along the fault. advertisement Ice performed the sculpting and carving of the Tetons. As recently as 15,000 years ago, small mountain glaciers or rivers of ice flowed from high elevation cirques and gouged out U-shaped canyons between the peaks. Mountain glaciers spilled from the canyons to the valley floor, forming basins occupied today by lakes like Leigh, Jenny, Bradley, Taggart and Phelps. Ridges of glacial debris, called moraines, surround these lakes and mark the edge of the glacier's flow. While small glaciers flowed in the Teton Range, a massive glacier covered much of what is now Yellowstone National Park 25,000 years ago. This river of ice flowed south, forming the depression that Jackson Lake fills today, and carried debris as far as Snake River Overlook, eight miles north of Moose on Highway 26-89-191. Today moraines support forests of lodgepole pine and other conifers. Elk and black bear seek refuge and shade in morainal forests and graze in nearby meadows during cooler parts of the day.
