Rense.com Veterinarians Split Over Mystery Chilean Humanoid Creature Dr. Virgilio Sanchez-Ocejo Miami UFO Center ufomiami@prodigy.net Santiago, Chile Preliminary lab analysis and opposing views from different veterinarians regarding the discovery of the alleged humanoid being have generated controversy and debate not only in Chile, but also throughout Latin America and in Europe. Ever since Mega News Network of Chile first reported the story of the 3-inch long creature found near Concepcion by family members during an outdoors trip, numerous speculations, rumors, and theories about the origins of that creature have begun to spread. The opinions from different veterinarians and health specialists in Chile are sharply divided, some point out that the alleged humanoid creature is nothing more than part of the local wild life, mentioning the possibility that it is a wild cat, or perhaps a so-called monito de monte or mouse opossum (Dromiciops Gliroides), which is a marsupial commonly found in Chile and Argentina. Other health specialists assure that the creature does not fit the descriptions of any local animal. Doctor Mario Dussuel conducted a preliminary analysis on the tiny carcass. According to Dussuel, the 3-inch long carcass indicates that is neither a fetus, nor the remains a feline. "I took a good look

Keep in mind that this is a document written by the scientist for other experts to review, so some of the language and concepts may seem daunting. We include it so that you can get every last detail of the research and logistics, and also so you can see the scientific rigor we require of the scientists we support. Remember that you don’t have to have any special knowledge or skills to participate on an Earthwatch project, and be assured that conversation in the field is lively, friendly, and informal. RESEARCH PLAN THE PROJECT Project 1 - Long-term monitoring of arboreal marsupials This project is one of the first landscape-scale forest monitoring programs in the world (Noss and Cooperrider, 1994; Lindenmayer, 1999). The project has been carefully designed with assistance from the Statistical Consulting Unit at The Australian National University, Canberra. The data derived are proving to be critical for: (1) assessing the status of remaining populations of the species, and, (2) the appraisal of the efficacy of recovery strategies for the species. Thus, the long-term conservation of Leadbeater's Possum will be dependent on the outcomes of this project.

67. Accent On Health: Wild, Exotic Animals Kept As Pets Raise Risk Of Disease, Injur Complicating the problems for wild and exotic animals is the growth price reindeer,llamas, camels, kangaroos, iguanas, parrots, pythons, marsupials or any http://www.tdh.state.tx.us/news/acc1203.htm

TDH Accent on Health December 3, 1999 Wild, Exotic Animals Kept as Pets Raise Risk of Disease, Injury The ultimate gift giver may have endeared himself to his true love with swans, calling birds, French hens, turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree, but experts at the Texas Department of Health (TDH) say such living presents can be a problem. "Buying or giving exotic pets such as monkeys, hedgehogs, prairie dogs, reptiles or other wildlife potentially can be dangerous to both humans and the animals themselves," said veterinarian Jane Mahlow, director of the TDH Zoonosis Control Division. These unusual animals can bring with them dangerous, sometimes deadly diseases. African pigmy hedgehogs and reptiles such as snakes, lizards, turtles and iguanas, for instance, carry strains of Salmonella bacteria in their intestines. Salmonella bacteria do not make the animal sick but in people can cause serious cases of severe diarrhea, fever, vomiting, abdominal cramps or even death, especially in young children, the elderly and those with immune-compromised systems. A person does not have to have direct contact with the reptile but can get the bacteria from another person who handles the reptile or household surfaces the animal may have touched. "Everyone who touches the reptile or its cage should always wash their hands afterward," Mahlow said. "Also, the kitchen sink is no place to bathe reptiles or to wash their dishes, cage or aquarium." Reptiles should not be loose to roam around the house, especially if young children are in the home.

Archives Contacts Monday, June 11, 2001 Opinions Column Taming the Wild Wild Web Brian B. Issleb How would you spend your final hours if the world were ending tonight? Sex? Violence? Family? Happy Days reruns? If my activities over the past 12 hours are any indication, I'd probably be reading online movie reviews and looking for old Nintendo games. The Web is not my friend. Not even close. This might seem like an odd thing for me to say, being a Web designer and all, but it's really not. You think coal miners like coal mines? The way I figure it, for every hour I've spent looking up sources for an English paper, I've spent 20 hours running Google searches for my name and taking quizzes that tell me what type of Mexican food I am. How the hell am I supposed to get any work done when with just a few mouse clicks I can be reading about, as I was a few minutes ago, a never-released Jerry Lewis movie called "The Day the Clown Cried?" It's about a clown (no kidding) in Auschwitz who led children to the gas chamber. That's compelling shit. Indifferent curves and the preterite tense of "hablar" don't stand a chance. And I'm certainly not the only one suffering from a cable-modem-induced malaise of the spirit. Everyone talks about how much technology is improving our productivity, but I bet we'd be on Mars right now if half of the U.S. population weren't busy downloading Excite Bike and hunting for live versions of Cyndi Lauper songs.

Each has a brief fast-paced attention-grabbing opening followed by a number of images from the series and then the title. All of the videos place approximately equal emphasis on the preservation efforts of the "champions" and the animal itself. Live action is narrated or accompanied by natural sounds or unobtrusive background music which encourages observation. These images are varied and of excellent technical quality. The sound track is clear and well-paced. Both videos state that a long period of evolution has resulted in an animal with unique adaptations and needs. The social lives and life cycles are explained. They claim that, in 200 years of European human habitation, the animals have become threatened as a result of greed and ignorance. Information on the naturalists reveals how they came to be involved with their particular animal. They are shown engaged in conducting field studies and analyzing data using modern technology. Kangaroos features the work of Marjorie Wilson and Lynette Campbell. These women and a network of their supporters raise orphaned and injured Joeys and return them to the wild.

Koala Although it's often called a koala bear and looks a bit like one, the koala is actually not a bear at all. It's a marsupial, or pouched mammal and has no close relatives. It comes from Australia where 'Koala' is an aboriginal word meaning 'no drink'. It's a good name because the koala gets all the moisture it needs from eucalyptus leaves. Like all marsupials, the koala's young are born small, blind and hairless. The baby crawls to its mother's pouch where it suckles and continues to grow for six months. At the end of this time the young koala climbs out onto its mother's back and she teaches it how to feed. The koala spends almost all its time in eucalyptus trees where it chomps on the leaves, only coming down to move to another tree or grab a mouthful of dirt which helps to digest its leafy lunch. Eucalyptus is not very nutritious so koalas have to eat up to a kilo a day. They rest for a lot of the time, to conserve energy. In fact, a koala spends up to three quarters of its life asleep. The koala is an amazingly fussy eater and will pick 20 leaves for every one it decides is good enough to eat. The leaves the koala eats contain strong smelling oils that seem to act as a bug repellent, keeping the animal free from parasites. Unfortunately they also make the Koala smell like very strong cough sweets!

Sunday, February 25th 2001 Exploring Irish Mammals Dr Tom Hayden, Senior Lecturer in Zoology department in UCD was in studio to tell us about his new book. Exploring Irish Mammals Mammals You and I are mammals. We belong to one of the 4,150 or so species of mammals alive today. Mammals are warm-blooded creatures, which have hair and feed their young on milk. Mammals are also the only animals to have a diaphragm, the muscular wall that separates the stomach and guts from the rib cage. The mammal story begins about 200 million years ago. At that time reptiles dominated the animal world. Mammals evolved from them. Reptiles can't regulate their body heat. They warm up when exposed to sunlight, and cool down when it is dark. Mammals evolved ways of generating heat internally from their food. They also developed the ability to regulate their body temperatures. This enabled them to move about freely and hunt at night. They were thus able to exploit a niche, which was difficult for reptiles. This might give the impression that mammals are more advanced and 'superior' to reptiles, but this is not the case. There is a heavy price to pay for heat regulation. You need much greater quantities of food to provide body heat. A large crocodile can go without food for up to two years without any ill effects but all mammals, except when hibernating, need an abundant food supply. The reptiles, which are alive today, are just as 'advanced' as the mammals. The first mammals were tiny mouse-like creatures. They lived beside the dinosaurs, which dominated the earth. Then fate took a hand. About 65 million years ago, global disaster struck. There are several theories as to what may have caused this. One theory suggests that a giant meteorite struck the earth and there is considerable evidence for this. A giant meteorite landed just south of the present United States forming a crater, which is now the Gulf of Mexico. Possibly, the dust and debris produced by the massive explosion carpeted the entire earth, reducing sunlight and rendering the planet cold and hostile to reptiles. At any rate, the dinosaurs perished and the 'age of reptiles' was at an end. The 'age of mammals' had dawned. If that meteorite had not arrived, we might now be intelligent reptiles!

Sunday, July 1st 2001 Return Of The Eagles Mooney Goes Wild Picture Competition World Wild ... Mooney Goes Wild With Schools Return Of The Eagles Last Wednesday, the attempt to re-introduce one of Ireland's lost eagle species ended in success, when six young Golden Eagles were re-introduced into the Glenveigh National Park in Donegal. Mooney Goes Wild regular Dr. Richard Collins has been travelling with the Golden Eagle re-introduction team, which was collecting young eagles from eyries in Scotland. John Marsh and Lorcan O'Toole of the Irish Raptor Study Group are licensed to take the young birds to Ireland, and have been assisted by Scottish eagle experts. This season has been a very bad one for Golden Eagles in Scotland and the numbers breeding successfully are especially low this year. Birds can be taken only from eyries in which there are two surviving chicks. Eagles can lay either one or two eggs. The eggs are laid three or four days apart and incubation begins with the first egg. The second eggs hatches some days after the first and the second chick is always smaller and weaker then its sibling. It is unusual for the second bird to survive and it is far more likely to be killed and eaten by the older one, a phenomenon known as the 'Cain and Able Syndrome'. So, fewer than one in five eyries will have two chicks. With so few nests this year, the team has to travel the length and breadth of the highlands to obtain birds. Although based at Inverness on the east coast, there have been visits to Wester Ross and other west coast locations and up into the Central Highlands. The long daylight length helps. This is particularly pronounced in the north of Scotland. The team can stay on the mountains until after ten at night. There is even some light at midnight!
