Mammals are less commonly seen in wildlife rehabilitation centres compared to birds and when they are seen it is usually as babies. All descriptions of mammals on this page are of adults, however, with the exception of the Beaver, all the mammals on this page are infants/immatures. Sheer numbers dictate that more birds will be patients than mammals. There are about 6 Orders of mammals in the province, broken down into 20 Families and 90 species. (compared to over 300 species of birds). The smallest mammal in Alberta is the Pygmy shrew ( Sorex toyi ) which weighs on average only 3.3g and is about 88.1 mm long. The largest is the Moose ( Alces alces ). An adult bull moose can weigh almost 500 kg.

Manuel Sosa, Biologist and Wildlife Artist Residing Outside Madrid, Spain
Brought to you by Mill House Gallery
The Mill House Gallery is very pleased to bring you the wonderful work of Manuel Sosa, a highly talented artist who is also an environmentalist and conservationist in his country of Spain. Originalbirdart.com began exhibiting Mr. Sosa's original oil paintings in early 2002 and quickly sold most of his available inventory with more than one collector being interested in the same painting. The painting shown above, "Ermine," is one of those paintings where more than one buyer was interested, so we decided to offer Mr. Sosa's gicl e canvas reprints. Mr. Sosa is offering 48 different canvas prints of his acclaimed works, 18 are limited edtions of 250 each. Mr. Sosa's style may be characterized as "loose" and "painterly" as opposed to highly detailed or "tight." For example, the lichens he has painted on the stones in the "Ermine" up close look like "blotches" of oil paint, but when one steps back five or more feet, the effect is clearly discernible as to what Mr. Sosa intended them to be. That, Mr. Sosa says, is how paintings are to be viewed. All of the prints we offer on the following two pages are all done with this in mind. Each print is personally signed by Mr. Sosa, and mailed from his studio and gallery outside Madrid, Spain. Limited Edition prints and personally signed and numbered.

30. Stoats And Weasels-Wildlife Trust @ Cornwall Connect
But this was no edited wildlife film we could smell the blood and make eye was madeby Roger Penhallurick on the outskirts of Truro a stoat in full ermine.

Stoats and weasels
On holiday this summer, in Tanzania, I witnessed the most dramatic wildlife spectacle of my life. The loud squealing of a warthog led us to a scene of carnage as four lionesses squeezed the last breath out of the unfortunate pig. Within minutes the eerie hoots and calls of hyenas surrounded the area. Made confident by their superior numbers, they made their move. Driving off the lions, they squabbled noisily over the bloody remains as the light faded. But this was no edited wildlife film: we could smell the blood and make eye contact with these large predators from the safety of our Land Rover.

I was reminded of this incident a few days ago when I received a letter from Sheila Rowe after she had witnessed a similar scene. On this occasion, however, the warthog was a rabbit, the lions a single stoat and the hyenas two buzzards and a number of jackdaws. The stoat was attacking a large rabbit as a buzzard watched on. Having almost killed the rabbit, the stoat decided to move off, perhaps disturbed by Sheila or the relatively large raptor. The buzzard then finished the job, being subsequently joined by a further buzzard and several jackdaws.
Since launching a stoat and weasel survey of Cornwall (in conjunction with FWAG) earlier this year, I have received numerous anecdotal stories such as Sheila’s. The survey itself set out to establish the distribution of these mustelids and to work out a method of assessing population changes. We also aimed to raise the profile of these creatures, particularly within the farming community. Stoats and weasels are thought to have declined nationally, but no one to date has looked at the situation in Cornwall. The results of the survey, however, are far from ready from publication, although it’s looking to be successful with over 400 records received to date with a good distribution across the county.

Striped Skunk by Alan E., age 9 Skunks eat a wide variety of food. It can eat crickets, grasshoppers, grubs, cutworms, fish, small birds, eggs, mice, weevils, spiders, caterpillars, fruit, raccoons, and sometimes its enemies. But they rarely eat enemies, unless they are its size. They live all over North America except in Alaska.They are the most common of all skunks in North America. They have very few enemies, such as the great horned owl, coyote, fox, badger and fisher. Its most dangerous enemy is the great horned owl. It can swoop down on its back, snatching it so hard that it's critically hurt. After a attack they have 10% of a chance of staying alive. They start mating during warm weather in late February or early March. To find a mate, a male skunk will wander through its own territory, traveling several kilometers a night. Two males will sometimes fight over the same female, but will rarely spray at each other. One male usually mates with several females. In early spring a female skunk gives birth to four or six babies in a peaceful den. One mother gave birth to 18 babies in one litter. That's the record! Babies weigh 28 grams (1 ounce) each one measures 10 centimeters (4 inches) from the tip of their nose to the end of their tail. They are born deaf and blind. They spend their early days in the den with their mother. They drink their mother's milk. At one week old, its weight is doubled. At three weeks old, they are crawling around the den. They cannot spray musk until 6 or 7 weeks old.

Masked Bandit of the Prairies by Michael, age 8 A black-foot ed ferret scurries across prairie dog colonies like a masked bandit, waiting for his prairie dog feast. Then he will take over the prairie dog's home, and use it for his home. Black-footed ferrets eat prairie dogs, mice, squirrels, gophers, rabbits, birds, lizards, eggs and sometimes insects. The European polecat and the steppe polecat are the black-footed ferret's closest relatives. The black-footed ferret is about 2 feet long. It has a black mask over its eyes, feet, shoulders and tail. Black-footed ferrets live all over the world except for Australia, Antarctica and most of the ocean islands. Black-footed ferrets are one of the most endangered species in the U.S.A. So please help save them. I got my information from BLACK-FOOTED FERRET by Denise Casey. Black-footed Ferret by Colby, age 9 Imagine going to the zoo and seeing something that is very thin and is about 24 inches long, it may be a ferret. Does it have black markings on its legs? Can you see a black mask over its eyes? If so, it probably is a black-footed ferret. An amazing fact about the black-footed ferret is that its one of the rarest mammals in North America. The ferret belongs to the weasel family. It is also related to ermine, martens, skunks and otters. They have a black mask over their eyes, black markings on their legs and a black tip on their tails. Males are usually larger than females. The only thing it eats are prairie dogs. It tracks its prey with its powerful sense of smell, then it pounces on its prey, gripping it with its feet. Its razor sharp teeth are great for cutting the meat. A ferret has one litter per year. The babies are born about 1 1/2 months after mating, usually 3-4 young in a litter.

01 THE SHETLAND PONY
Here we have a picture of a Shetland pony mare and her foal. In days gone by these tiny horses did nearly all the agricultural work of the crofts - but today they are largely replaced by - and the Shetland pony is quite scarce on its native islands However - there are many to be found in the south - where it is highly esteemed as a children's riding pony. Lucky indeed is the small child who has one of these delightful and docile ponies as his first mount. 02 THE WELSH MOUNTAIN PONY
The Welsh mountain pony is a delightful little animal and makes a very good child's mount. It was formerly much used in the pits - but mechanisation has largely done away with the need for ponies in the mines. Welsh ponies vary in colour bays - greys - chestnuts and blacks are all to be met with - and a pretty sight they are when seen on a green hillside or wandering over a gorsy common - the little mares followed by their foals - with a proud stallion leading the party. 03 WILD WHITE OR PARK CATTLE
Wild white or park cattle are kept in several places in Great Britain. They are fine white cattle with black or red points and date back to the Middle Ages - when the great noblemen enclosed areas of land for sporting purposes. In these parks were deer - wild boars and wild bulls. Whether the cattle were really wild or gone wild is not certain They may have been the latter. Anyhow' the breed still survives - for example the Chillingham herd in the great park at Chillingham in Northumberland - and the Chartlev Cattle at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire.
