Antelope Overview

|
To survive, antelopes rely on their ability to spot danger and to make a rapid escape. This defense system enables them to evade most wildlife predators, but it offers only partial protection from human hunters interested in antelope hide, horn, or meat, and no protection at all from changes to their habitat. |

Antelope Overview

Friday, 23 February 2007 |
|
Antelopes differ from one another almost as much as they differ from other members of the cattle, goat, and sheep family. Size is one of the most striking and variable features of antelopes: The common eland towers over most breeds of domestic cattle and can be 300 times heavier than the royal antelope. |

Yes; but all animals condemned to live,
All sentient things, born by the same stern law,
Suffer like me, and like me also die.

Wolves Community
On January 31, 2005, gray wolf conservation won a victory when a federal district court ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service violated the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) when it reduced protections for gray wolves across most of the lower-48 United States.
The court's decision ensures the highest level of federal protection for wolves and requires that the government continue its efforts to recover the species throughout its historic range.

Before you decide that a "wolf" or "wolf hybrid" is for you, please read my website. It will also tell you how to avoid getting taken by stupid breeders selling mutts that are mispresented as wolf hybrids (wolfdogs). These animals do not make good pets, they are for serious, educated people who are interested only in dedicating themselves to the entire lives of the wolf hybrid. |

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A bald eagle was shot to death and left hanging from a tree
branch this week, and a federal agency is offering a reward for information
about who shot a bird that is the nation's symbol.
The adult eagle, classified as threatened by the government, was found
hanging from a branch in a field about a mile from Sprague, near Highway 231, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said.

Feds to hand wolves to states.. KEYWORDS: wolf management wolves Idaho wolves Montana wolves Wyoming wolves endangered species act +wolves endangered species +wolf
AUTHOR: Rachel Odell, High Country News
Idaho and Montana are poised to take greater control of gray wolves, but the Nez Perce Tribe, and some environmentalists, are resisting.
In early January, Interior Secretary Gale Norton announced that the federal government will give Idaho and Montana more control over threatened gray wolves, declaring that the 10-year-old wolf reintroduction program had been a success that "exceeded all of our expectations." The management shift, which results from a change to the Endangered Species Act's "10j" rule, will make it easier for ranchers in Montana and Idaho to kill wolves threatening livestock on private and public land.

Last Rites for a Desert Bighorn...KEYWORDS: desert bighorn sheep big horn sheep coyote
AUTHOR: Ranger Jim Meier
It was most unusual to see Mama Ewe standing in the same spot where I'd last seen her. But there she was, in the clearing at Lower Willows in Coyote Canyon where I'd seen her two days before during the bighorn sheep count. Four legs spread wide; her head hung as if muscles were not attached. Drainage flowed from her eyes and nose. Something must be done!

Big Horn Sheep Watching...KEYWORDS: where to see bighorn sheep in California big horn sheep watching Anza-Borrego Desert State Park california state park animals Peninsular Bighorn Sheep state park near San Diego
AUTHOR: Ranger Jeri Zemon
In 1933, Anza-Borrego was set aside as a state park, in part to preserve the habitat of the Peninsular Bighorn Sheep. Since then, their numbers have decreased, and spotting a Bighorn has become a rare experience in California. We are fortunate that it is still possible to see a Bighorn Sheep in the wild during a visit to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. |
