Indian Spotted Chevrotain, Mouse Deer Possibly endangered. species of small, somewhat deerlike herbivores with large uppercanines (at least in Or go to the Deer index to study other deer, although http://www.americazoo.com/goto/index/mammals/362.htm
Extractions: The Name "Chevrotain": "Chevrotain" is a French word "chevre," which means "goat," and it is then made diminutive to denote a "kid." It is not closely related to a goat. "Deer" comes from the German word "Tier," which simply means "animal." It is not closely related to a deer, either, and even less so to a mouse.

It has 34 teeth. The upper canines in the male are longer and more pointed than those of the female.

Extractions: BYLINE: Fiona Adolph As one of the world's rarest animals, Tenang the Sumatran tiger is leaving home to do his bit for the survival of his endangered sub-species. The two-year-old male left his home at Perth Zoo this week bound for the UK where he will be part of a global effort to rescue his kind from near extinction. Tenang was one of a litter of three cubs born at Perth Zoo in September 2000 a major success for the zoo's breeding program and a thrill for patrons who have watched the trio grow to maturity. Under a general anaesthetic Tenang was given a head-to-padded paw examination before being put on a Singapore Airlines flight early on Thursday. The 76kg youngster left behind his mother and sister to start a family. Tenang's pre-flight health check was the first step in a program to boost Europe's breeding stocks.

Extractions: WHALE EVOLUTION AND ADAPTATION - Evolution When the dinosaurs became extinct about 65 million years ago, the mammals got a chance to flourish and take the dinosaurs' place. The mammals roamed the land and diversified greatly. Among the newly emerging groups were primitive hoofed animals (ungulates). These animals were called Condylarthra. They are considered to be the common ancestors of the modern day whales (Cetacea) and Artiodactyla, which include pigs, hippopotami, cows etc. From the Condylarthra, the Mesonychidae developed. These mesonychids were large-bodied animals. Some were carnivorous, some herbivorous and others omnivorous. They lived in or near river estuaries and lagoons. In the Paleocene period, about 50 million years ago, these creatures adapted for the capture of fast-swimming fish, a food resource that was more or less untapped after the disappearance of marine dinosaurs like the plesiosaurs and ichtyosaurs. They took to the seas and became the oldest known, now extinct, group of whales, the Archaeoceti. The archaeocetes still had teeth like land mammals, with canines, incisors and molars. They had dense ear bones, space for fat deposits around the bones and air sacs to isolate the ear from the bone. These are typical whale characteristics. Their nostrils were located on top of their snout. Their body was elongated with a long tail and a short neck. The hind limbs were reduced in size and the front limbs were paddle-shaped. Their tail could move up and down.

Extractions: by Nikki Michel, student in Geography 316, Fall 1999 Description of Species Natural History Vampire bats are considered agricultural pests in many parts of Mexico and Latin America where rainforests have been cut down to make way for grazing cattle. Here, control programs are initiated to cut down on health risks to the cows. According to Anastasia Toufexis (1995)," due to the fear associated with the vampire bat, people routinely dynamite and burn caves or roosts. Unfortunately, people also destroy very helpful, fruit eating bats that occupy the same areas. However, the vampire bat is not endangered at this point.
