Aardwolf, Aardwolf Reproduction, Food Aardwolf, History of studying Aardwolf

Earth wolf (Latin Proteles cristatus) - African mammal of the family of hyenas. The traditional name of this species on aardwolf Afrikaans means "earth wolf" and reflects his habit live in burrows.

Aardwolf Propagation

Ground wolf found in eastern and southern Africa. Its area is broken rainforests Zambia and Southern Tanzania, where this type is not found. Thus, one population of earth wolf lives in South Africa (South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, southern Angola, Zambia, South and Southwest Mozambique). Another, more northern, population occurs from central Tanzania through northeastern Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, along the coast of Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan until the southeastern tip of Egypt. Absent in most parts of Zambia, Tanzania, South and West Africa. There are individual unconfirmed reports of its presence in the CAR and Burundi.

Aardwolf Appearance

Despite the resemblance to the striped hyena, wolf and sizes of earth some characteristics of color and anatomy make it easy to distinguish it from the latter. Aardwolf smaller half of these hyenas: the length of his body just 55-95 cm, tail length - 20-30 cm, height at the shoulders - 45-50 cm Adults weigh from 8 to 14 kg, depending on the seasonal availability of food. Sexual dimorphism in size was observed. Another difference is the presence of hyenas in earthen Wolf 5 (not 4) fingers on the front legs. Build in earthen wolf more fragile than the real hyenas; limb high and quite thin, long neck. Front legs are longer than the rear, but not the back slope expressed as hyenas. Head like a dog, long, narrow snout. Scalp thick, consists of a long rough awns and soft, crimped undercoat. Long hair growing from head to rump, forming a mane, which in case of danger rises on end, causing the earth wolf look bigger. Hair growing on the upper body of earth wolf - the longest among carnivorous mammals from 7 cm to 20 cm nape on the shoulders and 16 cm on the tail. Coat color bright, yellowish-gray to tan, throat and lower part of the body paler grayish-white. Contrasting patterns usually consist of three transverse and 1-2 diagonal black stripes on the sides and a plurality of transverse bands on the legs, which are proximal extremities merge into a solid black field. Tail bushy, black streaks, black tail tip. On the neck sometimes visible black stripes and spots. On the muzzle the hair is short (10-15 mm) and rare, gray, bare end of the muzzle and black. fingers on the front legs - 5, rear - 4, are equipped with powerful claws nevtyazhnymi. Digitigrade gait. Eyes fairly large, the ears are large and pointed. Language wide; saliva released large submandibular gland, like all termitofagov, adhesive. Jaws earth wolf, contrary to some claims, disproportionately strong, with sharp fangs, however, due to the peculiarities of his power molars simplified and widely spaced. Powerful chewing muscles and sharp fangs needed aardwolf for fights with rivals and potential predators. Well developed anal cancer, similar to the structure similar to cancer in striped and spotted hyenas. Females have two pairs of inguinal nipples. Diploid number of chromosomes is 40.

Maned wolf, Distributed maned wolf, food maned wolf, Mating season in maned wolf, and maned wolf legs

Eat maned wolf food both plant and animal origin. Because of the small size and reclusive predators hunt mostly small animals: rodents, armadillos, birds and masonry as well as eat insects. To catch prey in the tall grass wolf uses acute hearing. Approaching close enough, the animal has a paw on the ground, causing the victim to express themselves, then catches her and catches.Weak jaw maned wolf does not allow him to tear and chew food, so she swallowed almost entirely. Animal food diversity bananas, guava, and other roots and tubers of plants.

Mating season in maned wolf

Mating season in maned wolf falls in the period from August to October (in the video above, you can watch their courtship). Lair arranged in natural caves or in the grass, do not dig burrows predators. After two months of pregnancy the female bears 2-3 blind baby. Their legs, unlike adults, short, and grow over time. Long time puppies are fed parents, belching them food.

maned wolf legs

Interestingly, the maned wolf legs, which are comparable in length with legs cheetah, do not allow him to run fast because of the anatomy of the body. The main purpose of such long legs - the ability to survey the neighborhood, while in the high grass. Scientific studies have also shown that this animal can not be called a relative of the wolf or fox. Maned wolf is probably a relict species that survived the extinction of other canine predators Pleistocene period that lived in South America.

Maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) is very unusual for a wolf appearance, and more like a long-legged fox than a wolf. Body length adult reaches 125-130 cm at the withers animal, thanks to a very long and shapely legs, grows up to 75-85 cm, about 30 cm tail accounts. Weight beast rarely exceeds 22-23 kg.

Maned wolf coat

Maned wolf coat color in color similar to the color of a fox or a wolf mountain. Most of his body is covered with yellow-red hair, tail light, almost white at the tip, the legs, on the contrary, wearing black stockings.Throat has a bright spot, and from the withers to the middle of the back is a black stripe wool which is markedly longer than in other parts of the body. If the animal is scared or aggressive mood, the hair on the back of his neck stand on end, making it more visually maned wolf. Actually, thanks to the lush mane and it got its name.

Distributed maned wolf

Distributed maned wolf on the territory of several countries in South America, namely the southern, southeastern and central Brazil, Paraguay, eastern Bolivia. In Peru, Uruguay and Argentina, this species is probably extinct, and in other parts of the area the animal is rare. Forests and mountains, this avoids a predator, living mainly in the Pampas - plains covered with high and thick grass and shrub vegetation.

maned wolf are active at night and twilight hours, the same day of rest. Unlike other related species in the pack predators do not go astray. The most that they can afford - that's life as a couple, but even here not without oddities. Male and female hunt and spend the night alone on an area of 25 - 30 m. km, which is marked with droppings and feces.

Courtship is becoming more pronounced during the breeding season, when the female becomes pregnant, the male becomes extremely caring to her and brings her food. The rest of the females in the pack does not enjoy any advantage of their gender, they are around par with males: hunt, play m eat. Pregnant females and females with cubs to a four-age are considered high-ranking, at this time the whole flock takes care of them.

The most preferred embodiment, when the victim flees, exhausted, she loses the ability to seriously resist. If the animal is sick or weak, it gets tired very quickly. In addition, during the persecution of the victim can break a leg or hurt - in this case, the wolves are easier to kill her. But for hunting dogs used another tactic. Dog lure - often acts as bait wolf, which flirts with dog and lures her into an ambush, where hid other wolves. Scoring prey, wolves start to the meal.

Wolves - representatives of the largest family Canidae. Height 60-90 cm, length from head to tip of tail 150-180 cm, weight 27 (the smallest female) -60 kg (the largest male). Wolves that live in the north area, larger than their southern counterparts. wolf fur consists of thick guard hair soaked fat that repels water and soft undercoat, retaining heat. The heat loss is minimal wolf, his fur snow melts. Getting a vacation, wolf covered his fluffy tail and gets warm breath. Wolves molt in the summer, getting rid of the warm fur on the heat. Fur color can vary from black to pure white, including different shades of gray and brown, cream, red and silver - depending on the color of the top coat. As a rule, there are several in color flowers. Guard hair is painted in stripes of different colors - from white to black, this type of color is called "agouti" (named after the South American rodent). Color is influenced by the chemical "eumelanin", which affects the guard hairs at different points in its growth. During the period of active influence on the hair eumelanin present more bands of different colors, and the wolf gets dark color. Most of the wolves have a dark gray strip along the spine, dark markings on the top of the head and at the base of the ears and on the face - "mask." Dark areas of color are at the base legs, along the back and top of the tail. Light-colored seats are in the wolf's belly and groin area, lower jaw, on the underside of the front paws, on the cheeks, around the eyes and inside the ear, chest, legs and bottom of the tail. In the place where "eumelanin" depressed, wolves formed patches of light brown color.

Cesarean section in cats, Pathology of childbirth

In normal births occurring assistance or supervision of a person taking newborns. At the same time it is essential to find a birth pathology, be able to provide timely assistance and, if necessary and urgent to contact a qualified veterinary care.

Abnormal or wrong that occur births occur under the influence of many reasons, including the spontaneous contractile ability of the muscles of the uterus and abdominal wall, narrow pelvis, improper location of the fruit, as well as mismanagement and premature human intervention.Weak contractions and emerging powers called rare, short time-uterine and abdominal muscles. This delayed the birth of kittens or finds it impossible. Weak contractions are more common in older animals and multiple birth than of young.

In veterinary obstetrics to distinguish between primary and "weak contractions and secondary power or clan weakness.The primary consider these clashes and power in which uterine and abdominal muscles are not sufficient to expel the fetus as early and subsequent stages of childbirth.Weak secondary collisions and powers referred to weakening or cessation of uterine contractions and abdominal muscles during childbirth, which was preceded by a normal or too strong contractions and power.

The reasons that cause the initial generic weakness can include:

1.nepravylnoe maintenance and inadequate feeding kotnoy Cats,obesity, lack of active movements and complete absence motsyona.

2.razlychnye diseases (diseases of the liver, lung, ketosis, etc.).

3.neblahopryyatnaya situation in the maternity room (noise, a lot of the audience, an unusual situation).

4.slabost collisions can be caused by excessive stretching of the uterus (the presence in it of a large number of fruit or fruit edema).

5.nedorazvytost uterus.

6.bryushnaya hernia, otvyslost abdomen.

Secondary tribal weakness appears due to fatigue muscles of the uterus and abdomen of the fetus at birth big or the wrong position it as normal or severe labors appears avail. Often there is a secondary hereditary weakness in cats with plenty of kittens when the muscles of the uterus and peritoneum tired after the birth of several detenyshey .Strong (violent) clashes and power. When excessively strong contractions and powers understand the strengths and prolonged contraction of the muscles of the uterus and abdomen with very short pauses.Sometimes, there are no pauses between contractions and relaxes the uterus is not, however, currently in a state of hypertonicity. It uterine tetany.Causes:1. Large fruit.2 . The narrowness of the pelvis, dry maternity tract.3.Nepravylnoe arrangement of fruit.Uzost vagina is often observed in young pershoporodilley cats regardless of breed, if sparyvayut prematurely, ie. to the onset of physiological maturity.The condition may be congenital, manifested not only during childbirth.The narrowness of the vagina also occurs in cats undergoing inflammatory processes, which have adhesions or scarring genital organs.Very rarely they are faced with cases where the pathology is caused by tumors called the vagina. The narrowness of the vagina is an obstacle to the birth kitten.In early labor contractions and power in NORMAL animals.Then, when he comes to the vagina, in its narrowness having painful irritation that enhance contractions and power, the result can be a gap vagina. Fruits usually die from asphyxia due to compression of vessels emerged rapidly sokraschayuscheysya uterus or the limitation pupovyny .Violent clashes and attempts to weaken soon, jammed fruit or part protruding from the vagina, childbirth and end, ie. occurs secondary clan weakness .A narrow pelvis (the so-called anatomical limitations of the size of the pelvic ring zatrudnyayuschuyu passage of the fetal head this ring). Scar (or scars) on the uterus remaining after previous surgery. And then during birth may be a risk of uterine rupture due to the weakness of scar tissue. Improper position or presentation of the fetus in the uterus. In such cases, delivery through the birth canal can be very difficult or practically impossible .Often found wrong location fetus. Wrongly considered lower and lateral position, which can be observed both from the main and breech fetus. Also incorrect is the transverse position of the fetus and vertykalnoe.Incorrect occurring birth may result pairing small cat with a big cat, so that the size of the fruit is the size of birth canal. Important role to the emergence of diseases and disorders in a proper position of the fetus. The most important factor in the occurrence of disease is a health condition kotnoy cat before birth. Any violation of feeding, lack of vitamins in food, poor sanitary hyhyenycheskoe content kotnoy cats contribute properly flowing families.

Allergies in animals: Atopic dermatitis

Allergies in animals: Atopic dermatitis, Diseases of dogs and cat

Inflammation of the skin of the body, the interdigital spaces , around the eyes , inflammation of the ear , the presence of itching - symptoms that are often combined into a single diagnosis - an allergy . But not everyone dermatitis, having the same symptoms can be attributed to allergies. To avoid incorrect diagnosis is necessary for mandatory dermatological study , which excludes the presence on the surface of the affected skin mites ( sarcoptic mange , demodicosis , heyletelioz , etc.), or opportunistic pathogenic bacteria (usually a staph infection, but not always) , and pathogenic and opportunistic mushrooms ( fungi of the genus Malassezii often , but not always).

In animals , the following types of allergies : allergy to flea bites , food allergy , contact dermatitis (allergy) , atopic dermatitis . The first three types of allergies are relatively easy to define and easy to control the therapy and diet. With the latter the same type have to fight for a long time , sometimes for life , as Atopic dermatitis can be controlled only by the constant use of drugs. Sometimes the body dogs or cats may be sensitive as feed components and on the skin contacting ekzoallergeny .

Atopic dermatitis - zudnevoe inflammatory disease with characteristic clinical signs of dermatitis , which causes a genetic tendency to develop IgE- mediated allergic reaction to the substance of the environment ( ekzoallergeny ) .

By ekzoallergenam include:

The pollen of grass and trees .

Household ( house dust, house dust mites ) .

Moldy spores of fungi.

Epidermal ekzoallergeny (epidermis of animal, human , animal dander ) .

The causes of atopic dermatitis - genetic predisposition , environmental factors and secondary microflora , therefore , as a rule , atopic dermatitis is incurable.

There are also not accepted in dermatological circles infectious theory of occurrence of atopic dermatitis. The infectious theory is that the presence of the body and the effects on the body of certain bacteria , viruses, is inflammatory and allergic reaction . By the microorganisms that cause such reactions include pathogens Chlamydia , Mycoplasma , brucellosis , etc. When the body of these organisms allows to recover from atopic dermatitis.

Often many inflammatory and allergic reactions on the skin and not only occur after vaccine administration . In medicine, a phenomenon referred to as post-vaccination syndrome . The main rule is to prevent the possible development of post-vaccination syndrome says: " Before the introduction of the vaccine animal should be completely healthy ! " Ignoring this rule is the same as from the owners of the animals , and on the part of physicians may cause the animal to life and lifelong disease treatment.

The characteristic clinical signs of atopic dermatitis in dogs include: itching, and redness of the skin around the eyes , lips , ears ( otitis ) , between the fingers , neck, armpit area , abdomen, perianal area , and frequently recurring infections of the skin .

The characteristic features of atopic dermatitis in cats include:

itching and redness of the muzzle, neck , extremities, but usually not the paws, abdomen, symmetrical hair loss without signs of inflammation.

In the treatment of atopic dermatitis use the funds for infection control , weighing down the skin (shampoos, systemic antibiotics ) , the means to control the itch ( antihistamines , hormonal, immunosuppressive drugs) , as well as specific immunotherapy . An alternative treatment of atopic dermatitis is the use of homeopathic therapy.

Only competent veterinary medical approach to the diagnosis of allergies and differentiation of many " similar " for clinical signs of skin disease may provide animal relief from clinical signs of disease control and possible cure.

Osteodystrophy cows characterized as bone lesions, but also in the pathological process involving the whole body animal. This, DY Lutsk, Zharov A W. (1978) propose a treatment regimen, if you want to first consider the condition of the skeletal system, the nature of violations of the digestive system, cardiovascular system and the body's need for nutrients, and even pinpoint the main failure.

In addition, in the preparation of diets recommended to consider the ratio of sugar and protein, phosphorus and calcium as balanced nutrition is a health care factor, and even helps improve therapeutic drugs.

Further studies DY Luck (1978) showed that the therapeutic effect in osteodystrofyy cows achieved by introducing the diet feeding, with 75 mg of bone flour, 100 g of urea, 10 mg of cobalt chloride, 16.5 mg zinc sulphate, 38.8 sernokysloy mg copper, 27.5 mg of manganese sulfate and five mg of potassium iodide with subcutaneous injections tryvytamyna (A, D3, E).

Along with this, a significant positive effect on zavvazhenoyi pathology DD reached runners (1968), which introduced the diet or meal obesftorennыy calcium phosphate in 50 ml of cobalt chloride and 20 ml a day inside

Fish: Common Carp Fish-Cyprinus Carpio

Fish: Common Carp Fish-Cyprinus Carpio, Morphological Character Of Common Carp Fish

The appearance and morphology.'s Body is covered with large sitting tight dark yellow-gold scales. At the base of each dark spot scales, scales fringed edge of a black dot stripe. Mouth inferior, highly extendable to form a proboscis. Snout long, somewhat blunted. In the corners of the mouth are two pairs of short antennae. High forehead, small eyes. The dorsal fin is very long, with a serrated bone ray, anal, too short and with a serrated beam.

The age limit - 30 years, but its growth stops in 7-8 years, that is the main weight gain occurs in the first quarter of life. It can reach a length of 100 cm or more, and the weight to 16-32 kg. The average length of the catches of 35-55 cm, weight - 3.1 kg.

Fin formula : D III-IV (V) 15-22, A III-IV 5-6. In the lateral line scales 32-41. gill rakers 21-29. Pharyngeal teeth are large, chewy type, three-row: 1.1.3-3.1.1, 1.2.3-3.2.1 less. Vertebrae 36-38. The length of the intestine is 2.5-3 times greater than the length of the body.

Systematics. Are 4 subspecies, of which the waters inhabited by two Russian: Cyprinus carpio carpio Linnaeus, 1758 - European carp, Cyprinus carpio haematopterus Temminsk et Schlegel, 1846 - Amur carp. Amur carp differs from the European fewer gill rakers and dorsal fin rays. karyotype: 2n = 100, NF = 152.

Lifestyle. Freshwater fish, but is found in the brackish waters of the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea, which forms a semi-anadromous forms . Semi-anadromous form of carp feeds in the Sea (Caspian), goes beyond the delta area in water with high salinity. Returning to spawn in the river. Residential (freshwater) carp lives year-round in certain areas of the reservoir, without committing large migrations. In the delta of the Volga River known as the pit white or ilmenite carp (feeds in the ilmenite, winters in the pits to Eric). It hibernates in deep holes at the mouths of rivers or in a river spaces. Growing residential carp slower than diadromous.

Nutrition. Juveniles consume first zoo plankton , and then goes on benthos . The diet of adult fish varies with the seasons. During the spring and early summer, carp feeds mainly on young shoots of reeds, cattails, Potbelly, pondweed and other aquatic plants, willingly eats caviar early spawning fish and frogs. Carp summer diet is somewhat different - though the leaves of aquatic plants and are included in the menu, recede into the background. Now the basis of the diet are aquatic insects, worms, small snails, Potbelly, molting crabs, small leeches, etc. pleasure also eats invertebrates, mollusks zebra mussels, small perlovitsy coils, pond snails. Autumn completely abandons the plants, and goes on small aquatic insects and invertebrates.

Reproduction. Reaches sexual maturity at the age of 3-5 years at a length of more than 30 cm Spawning portioned, from late April to August (depending on latitude) at a water temperature of 16-20 ° C and above. In the lower reaches of the rivers of southern Europe spawns on polo or spills. The eggs lay on a soft vegetation in shallow water (up to 0.5 m). Fertility 96 million - 1.8 million eggs. Caviar yellowish, sticky with a diameter of 1.4-1.5 mm. incubation period lasts from 2.5 days at a water temperature of 22-24 ° C and 7.5 days at 17-18 ° C. The newly hatched larvae are 6.5-7.0 mm in length at first hanging, attached to the plants, and then beginning to move and feed on zooplankton

Distribution. Present area of carp and carp in Eurasia is between 35 and 50 ° N. and 30 and 135 ° E. The natural range of the species consists of two parts: 1) The waters of Ponto-Caspian-Aral region and 2) the pool of Far Eastern rivers and rivers of Southeast Asia from the Amur River in the north to Yunnan (China) and Burma to the south.

European carp and carp currently inhabit fresh and brackish water basins of the North, Baltic, Mediterranean, Black, Azov, Caspian and Aral seas, lakes. Issyk-Kul. It is believed that the source region of the spread of European carp and its diverse species was the Danube basin. Thanks to the artificial breeding habitat carp moved north to 60 ° N Care of carp ponds - the main reason for its appearance in the Moskva river, oz.Seliger, Ivankovskom Reservoir and other water bodies.

The natural habitat of the Amur carp included the territory of the Amur River basin to the South of China. He is now widely distributed in Asia outside of its natural range. There Kamchatka, Sakhalin and Lake Baikal. In the basin of the Amur is known from the lake. Bujr-Nur and r.Arguni to the estuary. Common in the lower reaches of the rivers and lakes.

By its size and importance to anglers and hunters carp anglers undoubtedly ranks first among all the fishes of his family, which received from him the title. But in regard to fishing, despite the fact that in southern Russia, and especially in the lower reaches of large rivers of the Black, Caspian and Aral seas carp caught in large numbers, it is not as important as, for example., Bream, Syrty, roach and roach and for the future is still almost never harvested.
