    Extractions: The Predators Wild Ferret ( Mustela putorios furo). The wild NewZealand Ferret is the largest and most common Member of the Mustelidae family to inhabit NewZealand. A Typical mature male ferret weighs around 1.5 kg and has a cream base fur with long dark guard hairs. The face has a dark mask pattern around the eyes. The male ferret is about the size of a man's forearm. The female is of similar colour but about 2/3 the size. The Ferret moves with a long bounding gait and is generally nocturnal. Some colour variations do occur in the wild, including white Introduced in the late 19th century to control the rabbit population, the wild Ferret proved to be ineffective for controlling rabbits and today both animals coexist throughout the country. The wild ferret generally survives on a staple diet of rabbit, but will eat any small animal that it can catch. The wild Ferret has had a devastating effect on the survival rate of Kiwi chicks and other bird species in some areas. The wild Ferret tends to inhabit open country and the forest fringe, or anywhere there are rabbits or other easy prey such as nesting sea birds. Fortunately the wild ferret lacks the inclination to climb trees or swim.

82. Shetland Wildlife - Terrestrial Mammals
    Ferretpolecat Mustela putorius x Mustela furo. This widely kept hybrid was introducedto the isles through accidental or deliberate release in the 1980s.  
    http://www.wildlife.shetland.co.uk/other/mammals.html
    
    Extractions: It is no surprise that an isolated island group like Shetland has a very restricted terrestrial mammal list - approximately a quarter of the number of species found on Mainland Britain have been recorded in Shetland. All of these have been introduced by humans at some time in the past - indeed the only native Shetland mammals are the Grey and Common Seal. The following are accounts of all known species of terrestrial mammals to have occurred in Shetland. The records are as complete as possible but details of any omissions or additions would be welcomed. Hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus Photo: Hedgehog - photographer unknown Rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus The date of introduction into Shetland of this species is not known although the first mention of the species in the literature reports that Rabbit warrens were present on the West Isle, Burra (at the holes of Minn and at the Links of Meal), and on the isles of Oxna, Hildasay and Papa Little in 1654 (Leigh 1908). Thereafter it was reported as widely established on links and holms in Shetland by about 1680 and Evans and Buckley say that the species was introduced on Foula in about 1879. Today the Rabbit is widespread and numerous on Mainland and most inhabited islands as well as the majority of uninhabited islands. Brown Hare Lepus capensis The species was introduced to Shetland at Cunningsburgh (south Mainland) in about 1830 by the M.P. Samuel Laing. By the 1890's they had spread (thinly) over much of the south and east side of Mainland and a few were reported to have reached the west Mainland. Small numbers were also released at Reafirth and Windhouse on Yell in 1882 by J. Harrison but these apparently quickly disappeared from the island. The species appears to have survived reasonably well on Mainland during the early 1900's but they apparently caused 'considerable damage to the crops' and were widely and enthusiastically persecuted. Several were apparently still present in the Lunna area in 1935 although the last record of the species alive in Shetland is of two trapped in a turnip rig at Spiggie in 1937. There have been no records since that time.

Amongst the dragonflies are many common species in addition to the rare small-red and southern damselfly. Other insects to be found include some great beetles such as the mini-dinosaur-like minotaur beetle, the green tiger beetle and the glow-worm. WILD FLOWERS Northern marsh orchid (SJ Breasley) North Wales is famous on the botanical map, and deservingly so. From the alpine plants of Snowdonia to the dune systems and heathlands of Anglesey to the limestone of the Great Orme, there are many interesting, beautiful, and rare species to be found. Species include the famous snowdon lily, dune helleborine, green-winged and bee orchids, mossy and starry saxifrage, spotted and hoary rockrose, spiked speedwell and wild cotoneaster.

    Extractions: Research Center Not all the animals that reside at CRC are endangered. Some are "surrogate species," with behavioral and physiological characteristics similar to their endangered relatives in the wild. CRC scientists study the captive proxies to design methodologies that can be used to solve complex problems affecting their wild counterparts. For example, CRC's intensive studies of the Siberian polecat paved the way for a more effective reintroduction of the black-footed ferret, the most endangered mammal in the United States, to its native western habitat. Similarly, CRC is using surrogate bird species to help learn more about how to conserve many critically endangered Hawaiian birds.

    Extractions: The first human visitors to the Tetons came on foot, and this is still the best way to truly enjoy the beauty of the park. There are many beautiful-yet-easy hikes in the park where you can test your stamina without risking an unhappy experience. Be sure to consider your limitations when selecting a trail. Stop at any park visitor center for advice about nearby trails and hiking conditions. During July and August, trailhead parking areas fill early in the day, especially at South Jenny Lake, String Lake, Lupine Meadows, Death Canyon and Granite Canyon. Parking on natural vegetation results in permanent damage to plants; violators will be ticketed. In paved parking lots, parking illegally will also result in a ticket. An early start for your hike will avoid parking problems.

    Extractions: Research Group 3: Wildlife diseases Home RG3 Staff Subjects and Projects Main objectives: Investigations of mutual transmission of various viral infections between free-ranging and domestic animals and between different wild animal species. Epidemiological surveys within the context of the decline offree-ranging wild animal populations. Bovine viral diarrhea/ mucosal disease (BVD/ MD) infections in deer and rabbits in Germany Samples of free-ranging rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) from nothern Germany were tested for prevalence of different bovine viral diarrhea virus- (BVDV) antibodies and BVDV antigen, respectively. Forty sera (40%) were tested positive for antibodies to one more of three cytopathogenic BVDV strains. Therefore we assume that the rabbits either had passivly acquired antibodies or experienced natural infection with BVDV. Supported by: Schaumannstiftung Equine herpesvirus infections in free-ranging mountain zebras (Equus zebra hartmannae) in Namibia Twenty-one blood samples of free-ranging mountain zebras from Namibia, one of the most endangered equine species, were tested for specific antibodies against different equine herpesvirus (EHV-1. -2, -3, -4) and specific DANN of EHV-1, -2 and -4.

    Extractions: STATUS: APPEARS ON THE LONG UK BIODIVERSITY LIST Distribution In 1800 polecats were common and widespread in most of the UK. By the end of the 19th century numbers had dramatically dropped as the value of their pelts increased along with trapping by gamekeepers. Until 1920 they could only be found in a tiny area of Wales. Polecat distribution mapping began in the late 1950s, and their numbers have been increasing since this time, with a "front" expanding the polecat's range east from Wales. Today the polecat is well established in Wales and has re-established in the West Midlands. Populations derived from reintroduced animals can be found in Cumbria, the East Midlands, the west Highlands and central southern England. Biology Polecats are medium-sized, long-bodied carnivores, with distinctive black and white facial markings. They are predominantly nocturnal, and they tend to hunt on the ground, avoiding swimming or climbing. Polecats will prey on a wide range of species from hedgehogs to reptiles; rabbits, however, dominate their diet. Their preferred habitats are woodland edges, farm buildings and field boundaries, and their territories have a close correlation to local rabbit warrens. Threats Polecat populations were historically threatened by gamekeeping and fur trapping. The increase in game estates in the 19th century led to more persecution of small mustelids, as they were perceived to be competitors for game. These pressures have declined in recent years.
