WHALES About twelve species of whales live in the ocean today. They are a part of the Cetacea order of marine mammals, which also includes dolphins and porpoises, all of whom breathe out of a blowhole in the top of their head. Facts: One of the deepest divers is the Sperm whale, which can dive more than 1 km or as deep as 3 km in search of food, and can stay underwater for almost 2 hours. Whales withstand enormous water pressure when diving deep, so they carry air down only in their lungs and other respiratory passages. Thus, little nitrogen is dissolved in the blood to cause the "bends." Whales are warm-blooded; a thick layer of insulating fat (as thick as 20 inches in some whales) keeps their body 96.8 degrees. Whales can hurl themselves out of the water completely ("breach") and produce tremendous splashes. Humpback whales are known for their beautiful tail extensions out of the water. They can remain in this position for up to fifteen minutes at a time. To mark their positions and strongholds, whales splash the water with their tails and can be heard from great distances.

44. Precautions Urged To Prevent Rabies Teach children never to handle unfamiliar animals, wild or domestic Love your own,leave other animals alone is animal thoroughly with soap and water and seek http://www.idph.state.il.us/public/press01/rabies.htm

June 5, 2001 PRECAUTIONS URGED TO PREVENT RABIES "As bats become more active in warmer weather, the possibility of human contact with these animals increases," Dr. Lumpkin said. "It is best never to handle a bat. If found in a home, people should call their local public health department or animal control agency for advice on how to safely capture the animal and assess whether there was a potential rabies exposure. If bitten, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water and seek medical advice immediately." The Illinois Department of Public Health has recently received three reports of human bat exposure, including two people who were bitten. In one case, a young girl was bitten on her finger while sleeping and, in another, a woman stepped on a bat in her garage. The third person, a veterinarian, was trying to capture a bat in a home when the bat spit on him. All three of the bats were found to be rabid and the persons affected received anti-rabies treatment. Of the nearly 4,000 animals tested in 2000 by the Public Health and Illinois Department of Agriculture diagnostic laboratories, 22 bats tested positive for rabies, but no other animals were found to be rabid. A decade ago, skunks were the most commonly identified animal with rabies in Illinois.

This environment is intermediate between a grassland and a forest. Savannas are located in the dry tropics and the subtropics, often bordering a rainforest. Savannas have an extended dry season and a rainy season. Animal Adaptations: The animals that live in savannas have adapted to a great deal of variability in the food supply throughout the year; there are times of plenty (during and after the wet season) and times of almost no food or water (during the dry season). Many savanna animals migrate to deal with this problem. Where are Savannas?

RABIES INTRODUCTION Rabies is an infectious disease of animals caused by a bullet-shaped, enveloped RNA virus, 180 x 75 nm. Man is occasionally infected, and once infection is established in the CNS, the outcome is almost invariably fatal HUMAN RABIES Is acquired from virus in saliva entering a bite wound caused by an infected animal, usually a rabid dog. The severity of the bite determines the risk of infection. The disease does not usually spread from man to man. Incubation After inoculation, the virus enters small nerve endings at the site of the bite. The virus slowly travels up the nerve to reach the CNS where it replicates and then travels down nerves to the salivary glands where there is further replication. The time it takes to do this depends upon the length of the nerve - a bite on the foot will have a very much longer incubation period than a bite on the face. The incubation period may last from two weeks to six months . Very often the primary wound is healed and forgotten by the time of clinical presentation. Clinical Presentation A) Furious Rabies When the virus reaches the CNS the patient presents with headache, fever, irritability, restlessness and anxiety.

They are very adaptable and intelligent animals, capable of living in close proximity to humans. In North Carolina, raccoons are most common in the eastern coastal plain section because of the abundant wetland habitat. DESCRIPTION Raccoons are medium sized mammals, with adults ranging in weight from about 8 to 20 pounds and a length of 28 to 33 inches. Male raccoons are generally larger than the females. The fur is relatively long with an overall coloration of grizzled gray to brownish black. The most distinctive features of the raccoon are the black-ringed tail and the blackish coloration on the front of the face which resembles a bandit's mask.

Because theyso successfully compete for limited water and food resources, wild Burros are http://www.desertusa.com/magjan98/jan_pap/du_wildburro.html

Wild Burro Equus asinus Range Throughout all of the North American deserts. Habitat Wild Burros range through a wide variety of desert habitats as along as they are within 10 miles of drinking water. Description The Wild Burro was first introduced into the Desert Southwest by Spaniards in the 1500s. Wild Burros have long ears, a short mane and reach a height of up to 5 feet at the shoulders. They vary in color from black to brown to gray. Originally from Africa (where they were called the Wild Ass) these pack animals were prized for their hardiness in arid country. They are sure-footed, can locate food in barren terrain and can carry heavy burdens for days through hot, dry environments. Wild Burros can tolerate a water loss as much as 30% of their body weight, and replenish it in only 5 minutes drinking. (Humans require medical attention if 10% of body weight is lost to dehydration and require a full day of intermittent drinking to replenish this loss.) Habits Wild Burros feed on a variety of of plants, including grasses, Mormon Tea, Palo Verde and Plantain. Although some moisture is provided by these plant materials, Wild Burros must have drinking water throughout the year. They can usually be seen foraging for food during daytime, except for summers, when they will forage only at night and in the early morning. Life Cycle Female Wild Burros give birth to one colt each year, which grows to an average weight of about 350 pounds. Since the Wild Burro has no natural predator, competitor or common diseases, most young burros reach maturity and may live as long as 25 years in the wild.

Environmental responsibility and appreciation for the diversity of life demands humane, effective solutions to conflicts with wildlife. Here are some compassionate actions you can take: Education and tolerance. Learn more about the habits of the "nuisance" animal. You may find simple co-existence is your best option. This may be particularly appropriate when the inconvenience or damage is likely to be short-term or seasonal. Change human behavior. It will be easier for you to change than to get an animal to change. For example, to discourage "garbage raiding" by raccoons or other animals, place your trash cans at the curb on the day of pick-up rather than the night before. Store cans inside a shed or garage in between pick-ups. Change the environment.

WILD WINGS HEADING SOUTH Wetlands What Is a Wetland? Why Are Wetlands Important? Wetlands Conservation What can I do to protect wetlands? ... Wetlands in England What Is a Wetland? When was the last time you were ankle deep in marshland muck? You may have some interesting experiences to share about previous visits to a wet, marshy area. Have you seen a Great Blue Heron spear a fish for lunch, or listened to the trill chorus of frogs? You may have been in an urban marsh, a swamp, a bog or a mudflat, but one thing's for certain, it was a wetland! All wetlands share characteristics that set them apart from other habitat types. The two most important features of a wetland are: Water at the surface or just below it (for at least part of the year) Plants and soils characteristic to soggy conditions If you visit a wetland, you may find that it looks very different from one season to the next. Most wetlands have a cyclic nature, changing through the year as water levels rise and fall. In November at Bosque del Apache NWR , the marsh is busy with the clamor of migrating waterfowl. However, in the dead of winter, wetlands may look stark and barren. This, too, is misleading, as they are still teeming with life below the muddy surface.
