ANIMAL TRACKS & WINTER WILDLIFE HABITAT USE
All one needs to proceed with a study of winter habitat use by wildlife is a knowledgeof animal tracks and a simple method of measuring their Least weasel.

Extractions: Winter, when there is a covering of snow on the ground, is by far the best time of year to examine the comings and goings of a variety of wildlife. Many of our common wildlife species are difficult to observe. This may be due to nocturnal habits, scarcity, or shyness. The snow surface provides ample evidence that wildlife use some areas more than others, simply by observing the tracks that animals leave behind. We can ask a variety of important ecological questions simply by comparing the tracks found in the snow in one area, to those found in another. We can also compare tracks at different times of the day if we periodically return to the same site. Were it not that tracks accumulate over time, we could compare different times of the winter, or different winters in the same location. We can also correlate physical features of the habitat with wildlife use. In all cases we assume that the abundance of tracks in the snow is an indication of how much the different species of wildlife in an area use the various habitats that are available. All one needs to proceed with a study of winter habitat use by wildlife is a knowledge of animal tracks and a simple method of measuring their occurence in a variety of habitats. It is also possible to correlate habitat use with some abiotic aspects of habitats.

Extractions: Diane Katzenberger (303) 236-7917 ext 408 Fish and Wildlife Service Petitioned to List the Wolverine as Threatened or Endangered Six environmental groups have petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to list the wolverine as a threatened or endangered species. On August 15 the Service's Regional Director in Denver provided a response letter acknowledging receipt of the petition, but indicated the agency will not be able to begin work on a preliminary finding on the petition until funds and staff become available. The wolverine petition was filed by the Biodiversity Legal Foundation (BLF), the Predator Conservation Alliance, Defenders of Wildlife, Northwest Ecosystem Alliance, Friends of the Clearwater, and the Superior Wilderness Action Network. The federal Endangered Species Act provides citizens the opportunity to petition the Service to make administrative findings as to whether a species should be listed. A preliminary finding is to be made in 90 days "to the maximum extent practicable." However, the Service's funding for ESA listing activities is limited by congressional appropriations forcing the agency to assign priorities to its listing workload. Administrative petitions are given a low priority, unless the Service determines that the petition provides justification for emergency action to protect a species.

The general slenderness of weasels is accentuated in this species, the sinuous body stretching out up to 450 mm., the tail comprising about 1/4 to 1/3 of this total. Females average about 1/8 to 1/4 smaller than males. Long-tails greatly resemble the short-tailed weasel. Both sport a black-tipped tail but the short-tailed as it's name suggests has a proportionately shorter tail. In addition the long-tail's feet tend toward brownish in summer, its upper parts are usually a lighter brown, and it's belly more orange-yellow than that of the short-tail. Both species turn white in winter, only the tail tip remaining black. Some have theorized this black tip draws attention away from the head if a predator attacks the weasel.

Mink Polar Bear (N/A) Red Fox River Otter Wolverine Wolf (N/A) Ermine and Least Weasel THE SPECIES: Mustela erminea and Mustela nivalis A small, white face pushes up through the snow, its black eyes gleaming brightly. 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.

Extractions: General Information: Britains smallest carnivore. They are found in a wide range of habitats including urban areas, pasture and woodland. They hunt small rodents, their small size enabling them to search through the tunnels of mice and voles. Birds eggs and young rabbits may also be taken. Like stoats they are frequently observed darting across the road but are easily identified by the lack of the black tip to the tail.

Extractions: Habitat Foods Mortality Importance The common name mink comes from the Swedish word maenk. Mink are members of the weasel family which includes skunks, otters, fishers, martens and wolverines. The mink has a long narrow body, short legs and a relatively long tail. Its head is flattened and it has a short pointed snout, small eyes and short rounded ears. An adult male may be 30 inches long and weigh up to 3 Ih pounds, and a female is typically two-thirds that size. The mink's coloration varies from brown to almost black, its belly is slightly lighter than its back and flanks, and it may have a white chin and throat. A domestic mink raised on a ranch for the fur industry is normally much larger than a wild mink and the color of its fur ranges from white to black with several unique colors that have been developed by mink ranchers. A mink's pelt has thick underfur for insulation and buoyancy because the animal lives in and near water. However, it does not have webbed feet or a specialized tail as do other semi-aquatic mammals such as beaver, muskrats and otters. A mink has highly developed anal scent glands, which is typical of members of the weasel family. The mink is not as adept at spraying with these glands as are skunks, but the odor of the secretions is just as obnoxious.

http://www.essexwt.org.uk/Sites/Langdon.htm

Extractions: Its chief value lies not in its rarities but rather in its abundance of plants and animals once commonplace in our countryside. Langdon's meadows have not been 'improved' by fertilisers and pesticides, so badger s, fox es and weasel s thrive, and orchids can be counted in thousands. 25 species of butterfly and over 350 species of flowering plants have been recorded to date, and the list grows every year. Dunton today consists of the remains of former plotland homes and gardens, many now densely overgrown with hawthorn scrub. It is a rich patchwork of grassland and scrub of varying ages, garden perennials competing with wild grassland species to make a superb place for butterflies. There are old orchards with apple, pear, plum and damson trees whose fruit attracts both animals and people in autumn. The plotland ruins are used by snakes, lizards and weasel s.

Extractions: Illustrated by Michael, age 9 Do you like little critters like the weasel and the skunk? Well, if you do, you will like the marten. He looks like the weasel but smaller. The marten's favorite food is squirrels. But it doesn't just eat squirrels, it eats bird eggs, cherries, and slugs too. It travels up to 10 miles a night for food. The marten is part of the weasel family. About 60,000 years ago there were several species of martens. The marten is 2 feet long with a 10 inch long tail. It has light red to black fur. It weighs 2 to 3 1/3 pounds. The females are slightly smaller than the males. The resource I used is MOUNTAIN WILDLIFE by Marj Dumire. Please sign our GUESTBOOK
