Nanuq Herds of caribou, pods of whales, families of polar bears, flocks of murres: Nunavut is just teeming with wildlife. Think you'll see them all in one trip? Not likely Photos by Paul Nicklen Text by Mike Vlessides Ringed seals are the favored snack of the world's largest land carnivore, the polar bear Setting: A river bank on the edge of the arctic coast community of Kugluktuk, in Nunavut's Kitikmeot region. Scene: A visitor gazes over the mighty Coppermine River, contemplating the wild creatures he has come to see. Dialogue: "Where the hell," I say to myself, "are all the animals?" Fact: Nunavut is one of the greatest undisturbed wildlife arenas on the planet. The territory hosts some of the world's most exciting and untamed creatures: land mammals such as muskoxen and arctic wolves, marine mammals such as polar bears and bowhead whales, avian creatures such as snowy owls and peregrine falcons. Misconception: As soon as your plane touches down, you'll be set amid a veritable menagerie of arctic wildlife. Indeed, there is wildlife of the most incredible sort here. It just happens to be spread over 1.9 million square kilometres. So while most travellers do encounter at least one of the eastern Arctic's non-human denizens, few have seen all of them. No creature so typifies the lone, independent psyche of Nunavut as well as the world's largest land carnivore, the polar bear. As its Latin name

Release Number: 2001-56 For Release: June 26, 2001 DROUGHT OF 2001 LEADS TO EMERGENCY WILD HORSE GATHER Lack of water. Drought. As the Martis fire raged near Reno, Nevada, the public became acutely aware of how lack of water turns vegetation into dry fuels, and of the wildlife forced from their woodland homes. On the rangelands near the Nevada - Idaho border, the wild horses in the Little Owyhee Herd Management Area (HMA) face a lack of water, but their plight is less obvious because the area in which they live is less populated. The Winnemucca Field Office of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has been monitoring the herd s water, and will conduct an emergency gather starting June 28 to prevent what wild horse specialists say could be A death from dehydration of a substantial number of wild horses if man does not intervene. The Little Owyhee HMA, although nearly 415,000 acres in size, has only three permanent, publicly owned water sources. The flow from the perennial waters is woefully short as shown by monitoring of the water sources which began in April. Wild horse specialists have already seen the wild horses concentrated around the waters raising further concerns that vegetation near riparian habitat and adjacent upland habitat will be greatly disturbed. BLM will gather and remove about 600 wild horses, still leaving about 300 animals which is the appropriate management level for the Little Owyhee HMA. In normal weather years, the HMA has

Aquatic: The Wild Blue Yonder The aquatic biome can be broken down into two basic regions, freshwater (i.e, ponds and rivers) and marine (i.e, oceans and estuaries). Freshwater Regions Ponds and Lakes The topmost zone near the shore of a lake or pond is the littoral zone The near-surface open water surrounded by the littoral zone is the limnetic zone . The limnetic zone is well-lighted (like the littoral zone) and is dominated by plankton, both phytoplankton and zooplankton. Plankton are small organisms that play a crucial role in the food chain. Without aquatic plankton, there would be few living organisms in the world, and certainly no humans. A variety of freshwater fish also occupy this zone. profundal zone . This zone is much colder and denser than the other two. Little light penetrates all the way through the limnetic zone into the profundal zone. The fauna are heterotrophs, meaning that they eat dead organisms and use oxygen for cellular respiration. Streams and Rivers Wetlands Visit our gallery of wetlands images , which illustrate the amazing diversity of wetland ecosystems.

KEEPING CAPTIVE/EXOTIC WILDLIFE Introduction People who want to acquire various wildlife species frequently contact MassWildlife for information . Some people already have an animal and may be disappointed or frustrated to learn they cannot lawfully keep it in Massachusetts. To avoid such problems and concerns, the public is encouraged to learn the laws pertaining to the possession of wildlife in Massachusetts before they acquire an animal. A summary of these laws is below. This is only a summary and people should refer to the appropriate Massachusetts General Laws (MGL) and the Code of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR) for details. Background: Massachusetts pet stores are inspected and regulated by the Department of Food and Agriculture but the stores must follow MassWildlife laws regarding the animals that they may sell. Purchasers can reasonably assume that an animal for sale in a Massachusetts pet store may be lawfully sold and possessed. Do not assume that animals for sale in other states, including those states adjoining Massachusetts, are lawful in Massachusetts. Similarly, be wary of animals advertised for sale on the Internet or in newspapers. These animals may be lawful at the point of origin, but not in Massachusetts.

WHO In this chapter Altitude Heat and humidity Ultraviolet radiation from the sun Foodborne and waterborne health risks ... Animals and insects Further reading See here Exposure to cold: immersion hypothermia Cold, rather than simple drowning, is the main cause of death at sea. When the body temperature falls (hypothermia), there is confusion followed by loss of consciousness, so that the head goes under water leading to drowning. With a life jacket capable of keeping the head out of water, drowning is avoided, but death due directly to hypothermic cardiac arrest will soon follow. However, wearing warm clothing as well as a life jacket can greatly prolong survival in cold water. Children, particularly boys, have less fat than adults and chill very rapidly in cool or cold water. Alcohol, even in small amounts, can cause hypoglycaemia if consumed without food and after exercise. It causes confusion and disorientation and also, in cold surroundings, a rapid fall in body temperature. Unless sufficient food is eaten at the same time, small amounts of alcohol can be exceedingly dangerous on long-distance swims, as well as after rowing or other strenuous and prolonged water-sports exercise. Those engaging in winter activities on water, such as skating and fishing, should be aware that whole-body immersion must be avoided. Accidental immersion in water at or close to freezing temperatures is dangerous because the median lethal immersion time (time to death) is less than 30 minutes for children and most adults.

In the Wild - Orangutans with Julia Roberts Hippos have killed more people than any other animal The hippo's yawn is not a sign of sleepiness or boredom but is actually a threat gesture, displaying long, thick, razor-sharp canine teeth, or tusks, with which it is capable of biting a small boat in half. Being fearlessly protective of their turf and young, hippos have killed more than 400 people in Africa - more than any other wild animal. Hippopotamus amphibius means "river horse." The hippo, weighing 1 800 kg (4,000 pounds) and more, lives in Africa, south of the Sahara and along the length of the Nile river, although its range once included Asia and large parts of Europe. Hippos prefer rivers with deep water and nearby reed beds and grasslands, but are also found in salt-water areas near river mouths, and in lakes in Central Africa. They are hoofed vegetarians, feeding on grass, fallen fruit, and occasionally on cultivated crops such as sugar cane or corn during the night. They spend most of the day in the water. The hippo is the third biggest land animals, slightly smaller but heavier than a white rhino (the elephant is the biggest). In spite of its huge size - 3 metres (12 feet) in length, 1,5 metres (five feet) tall, with a mouth measuring a half metre (two feet) across - the hippopotamus can outrun a human. The bellowing of a bull hippo measures an ear-splitting 115 decibels, sounding like the roar of a lion.

36. California Wild Creatures Of Monterey Bay Earth. According to the biologists who have begun exploring thisrealm, midwater animals are Earth's most common form of life. http://www.calacademy.org/calwild/fall97/html/monterey.htm

Phantoms of the Twilight Zone Curious, colorful creatures dwell deep in Monterey Bay by Cheryl Lyn Dybas O n this drippy April morning, traveling down Coast Highway One south of San Francisco is like driving with blinders on. The route is obscured by fog. With the car's heater on full blast I'm still shivering, maybe with the effort of concentrating on a road with invisible edges. Around every bend, gnarled seaside pines, construction signs flashing their warnings, and rickety farm trucks suddenly appear. It's past six a.m., and the boat leaves at seven a.m. sharp. I'm scheduled to join scientists and crew aboard the research vessel Point Lobos , owned by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) in Moss Landing, California. Plans call for us to descend, through the eyes of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), to the mid-waters of Monterey Bay. Little did I know how much like my drive the expedition would be: a navigation through a world with no boundaries, a trackless twilight zone where it's hard to tell up from down and left from right, with visibility confined to a few feet ahead. The only markers in this open field of blue, scientists are finding, are creatures that form a living net. "The best way to visualize the mid-water environment," says MBARI biologist Bruce Robison, "might be to imagine a dim, weightless world filled with ragged, three-dimensional spiderwebs." This web of jellylike animals stretches almost end-to-end across the most expansive habitat on Earth. According to the biologists who have begun exploring this realm, mid-water animals are Earth's most common form of life.

Free Ranging Polar Bear The opening of the Polar Bear Underwater Viewing Exhibit in 1988 marked the beginning of a new concept in displaying aquatic animals. It is a great thrill for guests to be able to observe the seldom-seen underwater behaviour of the bears and to `rub noses' with them. Polar bears are endangered creatures of the Arctic. They have a thick coat of hollow hairs and a thick layer of body fat to insulate themselves against the cold. So, how does a tropical zoo like ours keep our polar bears and bred a male cub in 1990, the first such birth in the tropics? The answers lie in having a large, 3.5-metre deep pool to allow the polar bears to cool off, an air-conditioned den and a separate cubbing den for rearing cubs. Our success with the polar bears can also be attributed to the provision of behavioural enrichment . Live fish are released so that the polar bears can go `fishing' as they would in the wild. Pieces of fruit and meat frozen in ice blocks are thrown in for the bears to toss and discover the goodies as the ice melts away, not forgetting toys such as traffic cones for the bears' amusement as well. As a physiological reaction to the warm climate, our polar bears have a thinner coat and they moult more often than their counterparts in cold countries.

After the seedling stage, true leaves are absent, their function being performed by phyllodes which are modified flattened leaf stalks lacking leaf blades. The leathery phyllodes are 6 to 20 cm long, broadly lance or sickle-shaped and bright green in colour. In spring large fluffy golden-yellow flower-heads with up to eighty minute sweetly scented flowers provide a vivid contrast with the foliage. The dark brown mature fruit, 7 to 12 cm long, splits along one side to release the seeds. Royal Bluebell The Royal Bluebell is the Floral Emblem of The Australian Capital Territory and is a small perennial herb with oblong leaves about 2.5 cm long; the leaf margins are conspicuously waved. The violet blue flowers are up to 2-3 cm in diameter and often appear to have a paler centre due to the light blue base of the petals combined with the purple style which ends in two white stigmas.
