Nevada Natural Resources Status Report Though the large number of animals has brought national and even internationalattention from wild horse enthusiasts, the vegetation and water resources in http://dcnr.nv.gov/nrp01/bio10.htm
Extractions: The federal Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act of 1971 requires the BLM and USFS to protect, manage, and control wild free-roaming horses and burros on public lands at population levels that assure a "thriving natural ecological balance" under the multiple use concept. The Act defines ecological balance as the balance on a long-term sustained yield basis between populations of wild horses, burros and wildlife, livestock, and rangeland vegetation. The federal agencies manage wild horses and burros at the minimum feasible level to treat the animals as wildland species and not as livestock. Management focuses on monitoring, removal of excess animals, preparing them for adoption, the adoption process, and compliance after adoption for one year when title is given. Wild horses and burros are found throughout the western states, but nowhere do their populations come close to those in Nevada. The first aerial count, conducted in 1974, found approximately 20,000 animals. In 2000, the BLM estimated a total of 48,624 wild horses and burros roamed BLM land in the 10 western states, of which 25,096 (52 percent) inhabited Nevada (Table 3-14). Table 3-14

DINGO may have been related to the semi wild dogs found Dingo Sanctuary ENDANGERED AUSTRALIANANIMALS Australian Dingo Native Dog at the Crocodile (Salt water) . http://home.mira.net/~areadman/dingo.htm
Extractions: The Dingo is found in Australia (except Tasmania). It is a wild form of the domestic dog, and thus is a mammal. Dingos are not by nature a pack dog, but rather live and hunt alone or in pairs or as a small family group.(though it has been seen that some groups on occasions have "assisted" another group in a hunt) Dingoes appear to have clearly defined home territory, though parts of this territory may be shared with other dingos The Dingo is not truly native to Australia and there are 2 common theories to its arrival to our shores -2) The Dingo may have been related to the semi wild dogs found throughout South East Asia, and brought to Australia by sea farers who used them for trade and/or eating. Its short-haired coat colour wise, ranges from reddish ginger, rust, yellow to browns and (rarely) to black with white points on the feet, snout and the tip of the tail The dingo (the size of a medium dog) has a fairly bushy tail, strong claws a very angular alert looking head with erect ears. This canine does not bark (though it does howl) The Dingo can be found in almost any part of the Australian mainland which provides access to drinking water, (as it needs to drink once a day). Because of this need for water the dingo prefers the edge of forests which butt on to grasslands, but are forced inland to more semi-arid areas (mainly by man)
Manatees With powerful up and down strokes, they use their tail to push them through thewater. Manatees are generally solitary animals. 2000 The wild Ones c/o http://www.thewildones.org/Animals/manatee.html
Extractions: This page is also available in Spanish. What weights over 1000 pounds, looks a bit like a walrus with wrinkled, gray-brown, spongy skin, is sometimes called a "sea cow", is related to an elephant, was mistaken for mermaids, can eat more than 100 pounds of vegetables per day, and travels an average of 3 to 5 miles per hour? Why the manatee, of course! These large animals were once thought to be related to walrus because of the way they look. Today, scientists are able to identify animals using genetics. Now they know that manatees are more closely related to elephants than any other living animal. Scientists believe that manatees evolved from land mammals that returned to an aquatic life. Manatees are large marine mammals weighing up to 2000 pounds and reaching more than 12 feet in length. Like whales, their large bodies can only be supported in their watery environment. On land, their body weight would crush their internal organs. Manatees are the only marine mammals that are herbivores. Just to keep their big bodies warm, they have to eat up to one tenth of their body weight every day. For the typical manatee that means more than 100 pounds of water plants! That's equal to more than 200 heads of lettuce! Where do manatees live?

Wild LivesGiant (Really Big) Salamanders wild Lives. Giant (Really Big) Salamanders. by Barbara Sleeper. Well aerated wateris important in maintaining captive animals, says herpetologist Ed http://www.calacademy.org/calwild/pacdis/issues/winter97/salwi97.htm
Extractions: WINTER 1997 Submerged in a foot of oxygenated water with his head angled into the shadowy corner of its tank, floated one of the world's largest amphibians. Resembling a gill-less mud puppy on steroids, this two-and-a-half-foot- long, chocolate-brown beast looked like the reclusive star of some sci-fi film, ready to trample a metropolis. We had driven three hours from Seattle to the Vancouver Aquarium in British Columbia, Canada, to see this guy. And he was well worth the trip. Most of the roughly 320 different species of salamanders inhabit the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and reach only four to six inches in length. They belong to the oldest order of existing terrestrial vertebrates, Caudata, which can be traced back more than 350 million years. Based on their bone structure and pattern of external fertilization, the giant salamanders or Cryptobranchidae are among the most primitive of all salamanders. Included in this relict group are the Chinese giant salamander ( Andrias davidianus ), the Japanese giant salamander (

Extractions: "The greatest legacy we can leave our children is a world rich in its diversity of life. For it is that diversity that will allow them to meet the challenges of the future and realize their hopes and dreams". ...... Sheila Copps, Dy. Prime Minister and Minister of the Environment, Nov.1994 Biodiversity is shorthand for biological diversity, the variety of life on Earth. It means all life forms-from the smallest bacterium to the largest trees-the totality of all the different: Scientists have estimated that there are between 10 and 100 million species on Earth. But to date only 1.5 million have actually been named and classified, and only about 150,000 have been studied. Why do we need it The health of many Canadians depends upon pharmaceutical products containing ingredients found only in higher plants. Even though less than 5 percent of the higher plant species have been chemically analyzed, one-quarter of all prescription drugs have ingredients derived from these plants.

Extractions: The third Ray of Active Intelligence or of Adaptability is potent in this kingdom and will express itself increasingly as time goes on, until it has produced in the animal world that reaction to life and to environment which can best be described as "animal one-pointedness." Then, at this point and cyclically, the sixth Ray of Devotion or Idealism can make its pressure felt as the urge towards a goal, and thus [426] produce a relation to man which makes of him the desired goal. This is to be seen through the medium of the tamed, the trained and the domestic animals. Results: In the one case we find the third ray producing the emergence of instinct, which in its turn creates and uses that marvellous response apparatus we call the nervous system, the brain, and the five senses, which lie behind and which are responsible for them as a whole. It should be noted that, wide as we may regard the difference between man and the animals, there is really a much closer relation than that existing between the animal and the vegetable. In the case of the sixth ray, we have the appearance of the power to be domesticated and trained which is, in the last analysis, the power to love, to serve and to emerge from the herd into the group. Ponder on the words of this last paradoxical statement.
The Basics About Feeders And Bowls For Your Small Pet Most small animals do fine with an open water dish. However, littertends to get kicked into open water dishes. As with food dishes http://www.petsmart.com/articles/article_91.shtml
Extractions: It's acceptable to place the food in a clean corner of the cage . However, using a food dish is more sanitary and makes it easier to monitor food consumption. Bowls should be ceramic, earthenware or durable plastic. Scratched dishes can harbor bacteria and should be thrown away. All dishes should be washed with hot soapy water. A second dish is always handy to use while the other one is being cleaned. A separate bowl for vegetables, or vegetable clips, is also a good idea. Vegetable Clips You have two choices when it comes to the type of device you'd like to use when providing water to your small animal open water bowls and water bottles with stems Most small animals do fine with an open water dish. However, litter tends to get kicked into open water dishes. As with food dishes, water bowls should be ceramic or earthenware, since plastic bowls tend to be nibbled on, and small fragments of plastic could be swallowed. Replace scratched water dishes that can harbor bacteria. All water dishes should be washed with hot soapy water. A second water dish is always handy to use while the other one is being cleaned.
Extractions: Press Office News Releases Media page ... OU Public Relations Office News Releases Skill demands in Britain's workplaces are continuing to rise, according to a new survey commissioned by the Department for Education and Skills and produced by the ESRC Research Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance (SKOPE), based at the universities of Oxford and Warwick. The study showed that the proportion of degree-level jobs increased from 10 per cent in 1986 to 17 per cent in 2001. Only 27 per cent of jobs today required no qualifications, compared to 38 per cent in 1986. Fewer jobs require a cumulative training time of under three months, falling from 66 per cent in 1986 to 61 per cent in 2001. This also indicates a rise in the complexity of jobs, with fewer jobs requiring only a very short time to pick up and to learn to do well (27 per cent in 1986 compared with 20 per cent in 2001). Among the other findings of the report, Works Skills in Britain 1986-2001, which is published today [Friday 1 March], are: Women are catching up on men in the skills used in jobs: The proportions of jobs held by men requiring no qualifications fell from 31 per cent to 24 per cent over 1986-2001, while the equivalent decline for jobs held by women was from 48 per cent to 29 per cent.
