Goliath the cat

Those last few kibbles might have gotten between Goliath and a clean escape. But after weeks of stealing food from a Gresham garage, the flabby tabby found himself stuck — head and shoulders outside the doggie door, gut and tail inside. The homeowner helped dislodge the sweet, playful 20.2-pound cat, kindly gave him a good meal, then delivered him Wednesday to the Oregon Humane Society, where he awaits his owner or a new adoptive personal chef.

Truth about Tasmanian Devils

admin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 17:18:23 +0000

Marsupial, or tasmanian, the devil (Sarcophilus laniarius; ustar. Sarcophilus harrisii) – a mammal family of carnivorous marsupial, the only species of the genus Sarcophilus. His black coloring, a huge mouth with sharp teeth, ominous night cries and fierce temper gave the first European settlers authority nickname of the stocky predator «devil». Its scientific name is translated from Greek as “amateur flesh”.

Tasmanian devil – the largest of modern marsupial predators. This dense and stocky animal the size of a small dog, but a heavy build and dark color more like a miniature bear. The length of his body 50-80 cm, tail – 23-30 see body sizes depend on age, habitat and food. Males larger than females. Large males weigh up to 12 kg with a height of the shoulders to 30 cm.

Currently, only makes a devil on the island of Tasmania, although he had previously inhabited and mainland Australia. On the mainland, he disappeared about 600 years ago (over 400 years before the first Europeans in Australia) – supposedly marginalized and the extermination of dogs dingo brought Aborigines. In Tasmania, European settlers also ruthlessly cut off the devil, because the shipwreck roost. As a result, as far as the development of the island devil departed farther into undeveloped forests and mountain areas of Tasmania, and its strength has steadily declined, while in 1941 the hunt for him has not been formally banned. Now tasmanskie dyavoly usually in the central, northern and western parts of the island in the territories set aside under the station, as well as in national parks of Tasmania.

Tasmananian devil cause much trouble to European settler destroyed roost, eat the animals caught in kapkany, and allegedly attacking sheep and lambs, which these animals are actively pursued. In addition, meat devil turned out edible and reportedly colonists to taste like veal. By June 1941, when the law was enacted for the Protection of tasmanskogo devil, he was on the brink of extinction. However, unlike tilatsina (vymer in 1936), population devil has restored and now they are quite numerous. Their population, like the kvollov, exposed to strong seasonal fluctuations, as the annual summer (December-January), young devil leave for mothers and scattered in the territory in search of food. However, 60% of them die within the first few months, not stood the food competition.

Bizarre: The long-eared jerboa

admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 07:37:11 +0000

A bizarre-looking rodent described as “the Mickey Mouse of the desert” has been turned into an unwitting movie star to try to ensure its survival.

The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) today released the first known footage of the long-ear jerboa, which looks like a mouse-sized kangaroo with enormous ears.

The little jumping Mongolian rodent was filmed hopping about in its natural habitat in the Gobi desert by the scientists from the ZSL’s Edge programme, which focuses its efforts on animals which are “evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered”.

Bizarre rodent with ears bigger than its head

Huge ears: The rodent is dubbed ‘the Mickey Mouse of the desert’

The jerboa, found in the deserts of Mongolia and China, is listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List.

It is threatened by disturbance of its habitat – with the domestic cat emerging as a newly-introduced predator into the rodent’s range.

It is one of 10 species which has been selected for the focus of the first year of the scheme because it was receiving little conservation attention.

All the Edge species are highly distinct genetically, with few close relatives, but are extremely endangered and need immediate action to save them from becoming extinct.

Long tail: The rodent has a huge tail

Dr Jonathan Baillie, ZSL head of field conservation and leader of the expedition to Mongolia, said: “The footage and images from this expedition really are extraordinary and incredibly charming.

“The long-eared jerboa is a bit like the Mickey Mouse of the desert, cute and comic in equal measure.

“When people see ZSL’s footage of this tiny, threatened creature I am convinced they will want to get involved in its conservation.

“Unfortunately, this is just one of many amazing and unusual animals that are highly threatened but receiving little or no conservation attention.”

The long-eared jerboa (Euchoreutes naso) is a jumping rodent whose legs are specially adapted for jumping like a kangaroo and is easily recognised by ears which are about a third bigger than its head.

It is a primarily nocturnal insect-eating animal which spends its daylight hours in underground tunnels.

10 animals that are older then you

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 09:53:11 +0000

Mother Nature Network has a photo gallery of ten animals with very long lifespans, including the red sea urchin:

Red sea urchin

The red sea urchin or Strongylocentrotus franciscanus is found only in the Pacific Ocean, primarily along the West Coast of North America. It lives in shallow, sometimes rocky, waters from the low-tide line down to to 90 meters, but they stay out of extremely wavy areas. They crawl along the ocean floor using their spines as stilts. If you discover one, remember to respect your elders — some specimens are more than 200 years old.

Turtles

Tortoises are considered the longest living vertebrates on Earth. One of their oldest known representatives was Harriet, a Galápagos tortoise that died of heart failure at the age of 175 years in June 2006 at a zoo owned by the late Steve Irwin. Harriet was considered the last living representative of Darwin’s epic voyage on the HMS Beagle. An Aldabra giant tortoise named Adwaita died at the rumored age of 250 in March 2006.

Geoducks

First on the list are these large saltwater clams that are native to the Puget Sound and have been known to live for at least 160 years. They are characterized by their long ‘necks’, or siphons, which can grow to over 1 meter long.

Tuataras

The word “dinosaur” is commonly used to describe an old person, but when it refers to a tuataras, the term is as literal as it is metaphorical. The two species of tuatara alive today are the only surviving members of an order which flourished about 200 million years ago — they are living dinosaurs. They are also among the longest-lived vertebrates on Earth, with some individuals living for anywhere between 100 and 200 years.

Lamellibrachia tube worms

These colorful deep sea creatures are tube worms (L. luymesi) that live along hydrocarbon vents on the ocean floor. They have been known to live 170 years, but many scientists believe there may be some that have lived for more than 250 years.

Bowhead whales

Also known as the Arctic whale, the bowhead is by far the longest living mammal on Earth. Some bowhead whales have been found with the tips of ivory spears still lodged in their flesh from failed attempts by whalers 200 years ago. The oldest known bowhead whale was at least 211 years old.

Koi

Koi are an ornamental, domesticated variety of the common carp. The are common in artificial rock pools and decorative ponds. Amazingly, some varieties are capable of living more than 200 years. The oldest known koi was Hanako, a fish that died at the age of 226 on July 7, 1977.

Ocean quahog

The ocean quahog (Arctica islandica) is a species of clam that is exploited commercially.Researchers have interpreted the dark concentric rings or bands on the shell as annual marks, much like a tree has rings. Some collected specimens have been calculated to be more than 400 years old

Antarctic sponge

Perhaps due to the extremely low temperatures of the Antarctic Ocean, this immobile creature has an extremely slow growth rate. Some estimate the oldest known specimens are 1,550 years old.

Turritopsis nutricula jellyfish

This species of jellyfish might be the only animal in the world to have truly discovered the fountain of youth. Since it is capable of cycling from a mature adult stage to an immature polyp stage and back again, there may be no natural limit to its life span. Because they are able to bypass death, the number of individuals is spiking. ”We are looking at a worldwide silent invasion,”says Dr. Maria Miglietta of the Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute.
