Red Kite (Milvus milvus) that I saw flying and gliding around near Walkern, Hertfordshire, on 23 April 2011. It was a lot closer to me than the Buzzard I photographed recently was, but by the time I got my camera out, it had moved away. Not brilliant photos but a rare opportunity.

Endangered Species: Psychedelic Water 26>

“Hippies are an endangered species here now,” the feral said through the knotty plaits of his beard.

“Not in Japan!” The slight sunbrowned man with a far neater beard and designer dreads laughed over the flames.

“No?”

“No – in Japan, many hippie!”

“We hear nothing about it out here, but in Japan there’s a hippie revolution right now,” Ram interrupted.

“That right.”

Ram turned to the Nipponese man. “It’s because that’s where the young people are – all over Asia. In the sixties and seventies the demographic balance was like this;” He steepled his fingers into a pyramid. “Old people…” He indicated the triangle’s pinnacle with a wave of his fingertips. “Young people…” he swept his wrists outward. Then he inverted the pyramid. “Now in the West, it’s like this. Very few young people, and all more tightly constrained.

“But not in Japan.”

“No,” agreed Zen. “In Japan many young people. Many hippie.”

Cameron conceded the point. “Well, there are a lot more Japanese in town this year, and they’re not all like the squeaky cleanskins that used to turn up, it’s true…” The shaman excused himself to water a nearby tree. When he returned Cameron was describing a strange small creature he’d seen nearby. “It’s only about the size of a rabbit – but it’s not a rabbit.”

“Not a rabbit?” The Japanese hippie couple repeated in unison.

“No – about the same size, but different.”

“Not a bandicoot?” Ram asked.

“No – wait – there it is now!” Cameron’s whisper morphed into a gasp. “You hear that?” A strange loud squeak filled the sudden silence.

“You’re right,” Ram whispered, squatting forward on his toes by the small cooking fire. “That’s no bandicoot.”

“Here it comes,” Cameron said as a squat shrub rustled only a few paces away and a small dark form emerged. He flicked on a blue-white LED flashlight and a diminutive rat-like creature was brightly illuminated for a flashing moment before it leapt and darted for the rainforest underbrush beside the creek. “Sorry – I probably shouldn’t have frightened it. But it’s here every night.”

Catalogues of photographs, drawings and paintings riffled through Ram’s mind; reams of images of native and imported animals studied during years of fauna surveying, or witnessed live and firsthand in plains, woodlands and deep forests throughout the eastern half of the great island continent. None of the remembered forms quite matched this tailless, two kilo marsupial with a surprisingly flattened and rounded face. “Another unknown,” he announced. “A little like a bettong, but not a bettong. Not a bandicoot. Not a potoroo. And definitely not a rabbit.”

“Not rabbit?” Zen echoed. The Japanese Wwoofa (a willing worker on organic farms, exchanging work for board as he travelled the country) still peered into the darkness in stupefaction. His beautiful mate Shi clung to his bare arm, patiently awaiting an explanation.

“No,” said Cameron. “Something very rare and unusual.”

“What is ‘bennon’?” Zen asked.

“Bettong.” Cameron corrected. “Like a bilby.” Zen and Shi regarded him with nonplussed expressions.

“A small kangaroo-like creature, only a foot tall – thirty centimetres,” Ram explained.

“Ah!”

“Oh! But that not one of them?” Shi’s voice is a gentle purr.

“I can’t work out what it is,” Ram admitted, listening to the creature rustling just out of sight in the darkness. “Around here,” he gestured at the massive tree-clad cliff facing them, “anything is possible. Up there above us is an escarpment - a great flat plateau full of rocky land, forest and caves. Anything could live up there…”

“And now that everything round here is regenerating so well, things’ll be coming down here, too,” Cameron continued.

“What that animal?” Zen enquired.

“Buggered if I know.” Cameron flashed his torch around for a few seconds. “It’s still there, somewhere.”

“You not know?” The young lovers peered into the dark.

“No idea,” Cameron confirmed, glancing at the shaman.

“Speaking from a view gleaned after years of fauna surveys and travelling and camping in remote bush,” he said, inwardly disapproving of the self-aggrandisement implied by his words, “that creature is a small marsupial that may be totally unknown to anyone but the Aborigines.”

“They know?” Shi’s eyes were glittering pools of firelight.

“Maybe,” said Cameron. “Probably.”

“You not see it before?”

“Not even in reference books,” Ram assured Zen. “All the images are spinning through my mind now. It’s not a bandicoot or a bettong… even if the tail’s been gnawed off by a dog. And those white splotches look like the markings on a juvenile koala, but its face is more like… a hamster…”

“But that definitely wasn’t a koala,” Cameron assured the visitors. Two flying foxes circled the Sally wattle they were seated beneath and the Japanese visitors looked up as the macrobats alighted in a nearby quandong tree, screeching and warbling in their complex semi-simian language.

Zen was amazed. “Wooah!”

“This animal unknown?” Shi’s eyes were wide, flickering in the firelight as she blinked up at the stars. It was only the third or fourth time that Ram had heard her shy, self-abnegating voice during the evening’s converse. “Not them –other little one,” she said.

“Well it’s unknown to us,” Cameron clarified. “But it could be completely unknown as well.”

“This country is recovering from a century and a half of logging and rampaging cows.” Ram gestured at the dark, hulking, lightless hills that surrounded them. “But it’s ringed by rugged country that no living white person has thoroughly explored. Between here and the mountains that run down the entire eastern side of the continent is a wild, wild country that’s almost totally uninhabited… by modern humans…”

“Like the Washpool and the upper catchments all along the coast and up on the mountains,” Cameron agreed. “Real wilderness, National Parks and reserves no-one lives in…”

“No human live there?” Zen was surprised.

Cameron bared his teeth in a grin. “Not for hundreds of square miles, in many places.”

The shaman shifted into a sitting position. “Last month all the Oz state governments in the east announced they’re declaring a wilderness sanctuary strip that will stretch from the far north tropics of the continent all the way to the far south, on the edge of the Southern Ocean. They’ve realized that you need at least that much land to preserve all the endangered creatures and forest types when you take climate catastrophe into account. And that last wild strip is the land they say they’re going to reserve.”

“Climate catastrophe?” Zen inquired.

“What they call ‘global warming’.”

“Really?” Cameron was incredulous. “When did this happen? I haven’t heard a thing about it!”

“It was front-page news for a day,” Ram replied. “Hardly anyone noticed, it seems.”

“Wow! Good news for a change! That’s incredible.”

“But true. We should really all be celebrating, but it seems most of the people who spent years getting arrested for saving those ecosystems don’t even know that we’ve won. Tell any feral forest fighters you see!”

“Don’t worry. I will.”

The shaman stared up at the brilliant star that still held Shi’s attention. “On the other hand, it is just an announcement by governments that may not be around for more than a year or two. But we can hope.”

“And there wild animal no-one know there as well?”

“You just reminded me,” Ram slapped his knee. “Less than a year ago eye saw an ‘extinct’ huge black quoll on the roadside… one of those mysterious big cats people occasionally report seeing…”

“The ‘black panthers’ you mean?” Cameron smirked.

“I can see why they’d think so.” The shaman returned his smirk. “If you hadn’t seen a quoll up close you’d have nothing better to mistake it for.”

“A koll?” Zen asked.

“Quoll,” Cameron corrected. “A native marsupial cat, called the spotted-tailed quoll.”

“Like koala?”

“About the same size, but you wouldn’t cuddle a quoll, mate, it’d tear you to pieces – unless you trained it from a kitten, and maybe not even then. You ever see a Tasmanian Devil?”

“You mean like on cartoon? Bugs Bunny?”

“That’s the one. Like that, but in real life. You don’t try to pat one.”

“You see one of them but black?”

“And big,” Ram agreed. “Almost as tall as the bonnet of the four wheel drive.”

“That big?”

“Aye – hai – completely black, like a panther, but with a couple of major differences, like a tail longer than it’s body, curved up over its back…” Ram swept his hand up into the firelight, “with a plumed, almost bulbous fringe on the end. A prehensile tail…”

“Just like a quoll,” Cameron suggested.

“And standing… well, almost on tip-toes, not like a cat at all – except for the curved arch of its spine when it turned to look at me. And the face was more squashed in than a cat’s – the face of a big sabre-toothed dasyurid marsupial quoll.”

“With pouch?” Zen suggested as Shi clung to his arm.

“With a pouch,” Ram confirmed. “Though it may face backward, not forward as in most other marsupials; some of the carnivores here are like that.”

“Ahh.”

“Should we tell anyone we see this animal?” Shi whispered.

“If you like,” Cameron said. “Just don’t tell any scientists.”

“Why not?”

“Because they come and catch it. Or kill it.” Cameron mimed the act with a chopping motion.

“No!” Shi was appalled. She looked to Zen for assurance that she’d understood the conversation correctly. Her beau translated for her in a rapid barrage of Japanese.

“Yes!” demurred Cameron. “They kill it, for research.”

“Really?” Zen was obviously confused and a little distraught. “If it so rare?”

“Because it’s so rare.” Cameron looked away and began rebuilding the fire.

“There used to be another species of quoll, all through this country,” Ram told them. “A smaller quoll with a more rat-like tail…”

“Not the spotted-tailed quoll, like the one we’ve been talking about,” Cameron explained as he built the pyre higher.

“No, a smaller quoll that became officially extinct a couple of decades ago. It’s not completely extinct – eye’ve seen one on the Carrai Plateau, a few hundred kilometres south of here, in that new wilderness reserve we were talking about.” More bats joined the small family at the nearby quandong tree. A dog began to bark in the far distance while Cameron filled a blackened stainless steel kettle from a large polycarbonate water container. The attention of the Japanese guests was riveted to the spectacle of the broad-winged fruit bats soaring a few metres over their heads.

“So this quoll not extinct?”

“Well… it’s debatable whether there are enough contiguous family groups to allow the species to survive long-term – enough of them to make it - but no-one really knows. You can’t count them by satellite - they usually live in surprisingly remote areas away from imported carnivores like dogs and cats, and the only people who work out there – the loggers – hardly know the place at all. They spend almost all their time in air-conditioned machines and don’t have the time or inclination to go exploring – and they’re not likely to tell anyone if they see any endangered species.”

“They have to pay for their mortgages,” Cameron explained.

“And the double-mortgages on their trucks,” Ram conceded. “Most of the areas we saved from logging in the past decades had never been surveyed before they started cutting them down. That’s why it was so easy for us to save many places. All we had to do was conduct flora and fauna – plant and animal – surveys, and in most of those untouched or barely touched areas we’d find rare and endangered species…”

“…That were about to become a whole lot more endangered,” Cameron filled in as he began rummaging around in the shadows to explore beverage options.

“Exactly. So we had legal grounds to stop the destruction because the workers and surveyors working for the government supposedly never saw a thing – but the first time anyone else looked, there were rare and unique animals there. I’ve seen four higher-order animals - marsupials - that aren’t described in any book. Five if you count whatever this is in the bushes… but we need a closer look to be certain.”

“Well hang around – it’ll be back,” Cameron assured him. “It’s here every night. Tea? Mint tea? Maté tea? Hot chocolate?” Shi climbed daintily to her feet and helped fill the small table with containers of milk, soymilk and honey.

“But back to the eastern quoll,” Ram continued. “When the authorities realized there were hardly any left, the museum in the Emerald City sent a surveyor out to find some. He came back with over sixty pelts…”

“Pelt?”

“Skins,” Cameron translated.

“…and the pelts were all female.”

“What?” Cameron laughed in shock. “Females?”

“They’re still in the drawer in the museum. You can see them there. They may have been the last sixty females – but as far as the museum knew, they were definitely from the last site where they were known to exist…”

“And they kill them?” Zen and Shi were dumbfounded.

“Of course,” Cameron said. “To prove they exist.”

“So… we not tell anyone then,” Zen decided. Shi nodded enthusiastically and reached for the honeypot. The flying foxes screeched and wheeled, inhabiting their own reality between the starry sky and the domesticated primates who huddled round the flickering fire below.

Baculum is the name for an animal's penis bone.
Oosik is an Alaska Native termed used for the same object of large arctic mammals.

Above is a walrus oosik which can get to about 2 feet (60cm) long and could be used for a variety of things including war clubs. Below that is a whale oosik, (maybe of a bowhead?) which looks to be about 5 feet (150cm) long.

I've never seen one of these before or read or heard about them in the literature.

A passing motorist called Wakulla County Animal Control on June 3 and reported the injured animal. Zeke was shot in both back legs and left to die.

A concerned citizen has contributed 0 that will be given to anyone who comes forward and provides the information that leads to the arrest of the dog shooter.

Wakulla Animal Control Officer Bonnie Brinson has been caring for the animal during his recovery period which has included emergency surgery. Since that time, Zeke has attended a Florida Cabinet meeting, met Attorney General Pam Bondi and has continued to gain weight. One of his back legs has begun to recover while the other was too damaged to repair. Amputation remains a possibility.

Zeke is an estimated six of seven months old and Wakulla Animal Control hopes to eventually adopt him out. He is scheduled for some orthopedic surgery with Dr. Norm Griggs at Shepherd Spring Animal Hospital in Crawfordville.

Anyone with information about the dog shooting is asked to contact the Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office at 745-7100 and request a detective from the Criminal Investigations Division to investigate.

“He is getting better, but he was in bad shape,” said Wakulla Animal Control Director Ivanhoe Carroll. “He loves his toys.”

“I can’t believe someone would leave this animal along the side of the road to die,” said ACO Brinson.

“He loves to play with the other dogs. Surely there is someone out there who has the information the sheriff’s office needs to bring justice and the compassion to know that you have brought closure to this animal cruelty case.”

Wakulla County, FL - A dog named Zeke was found shot on the side of the road in Wakulla County. Concerned citizens have contributed 600 dollars as a reward for anyone who comes forward with information about the dog's shooting.

Zeke was found by a passing driver on the side of Shadeville Highway Wakulla County back in June. The German Shepherd mix puppy was shot in both of his hind legs. The Sheriff's Office is now pleading with the public for any information on whomever could have done this.

Wakulla County Sheriff's Office Spokesman, Keith Blackmar said, "Certainly like to arrest the individual who shot the animal its kind of a cruel thing to do. He was left out there, and it wasn't just a shooting incident, he was in pretty bad shape physically as well as the wounds."

Zeke has already undergone one surgery and another is set to happen soon. Veterinarians say one of his legs is improving, but the other one may have to be amputated. please contact the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office if you have any information.

Crawfordville, FL-A dog shot in his hind legs and left for dead in one Florida town is expected to make a full recovery.

Wakulla County Animal Control found the shepherd mix they've named Zeke on a dirt road back in May, shot in his hind legs.

Since then, Zeke has had surgery on his injured right hind leg. Pins were also added to the leg. His left hind leg will undergo a similar surgery.

Officials say he's put on about five pounds since being at the hospital.

People from as far away as Michigan have been calling, asking to adopt Zeke.

"We get at least probably five or 10 calls a day checking on him. We get donations daily for him so it's wonderful," said Blair Tucker who works at the Crawfordville Animal Hospital where Zeke is being cared for.
No arrests have been made in the case. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Wakulla Sheriff's Office.

Crawfordville, FL - Someone shot a puppy and left it to die on the side of the road in Crawfordville.

Both of the puppy's hind legs were shot. Deputies want to know who pulled the trigger.

Wakulla County Animal Control Officer Mark Carter says the puppy was trying to get away by walking away on his front legs when he found him on the side of the road last Thursday in Crawfordville.

Carter says it was obvious the four-month old shephard mix was injured. But, when he took the dog to the Crawfordville Animal Hospital, they discovered it had been shot in both of his back legs.

Carter says, "I felt, you automatically feel bad for the animal. Then it's a little bit of anger; what caused him to get in this situation and how could somebody put him in the situation."

Folks at the hospital named the pup, "Zeke."

They say he's come a long way over the past few days.

Blair Tucker, a veterinarian technician at the Crawfordville Animal Hospital, says, "He was covered in fleas and ticks and real emaciated. We've had to do a lot of wound care from the wounds from the bullet. We've done a lot of prevention with infection. We've done x-rays and blood work. One of the bones in the back left leg is completely shattered."

Animal Control officers say they believe Zeke was in his condition on the side of the road for several days because of the fact that he was already used to walking on his hind legs.

The hospital says Zeke has gained three pounds, the fleas and ticks are all gone, and his hair is growing back.

Tucker says, "That's the best part of it. I hate to see any dog come in wounded like that. But, to see him get better and to progress is really pleasing. That's why I love my job. He's a sweet boy. He's already spoiled."

Authorities are trying to find out who shot him. But, for now: "He's in good hands now." Says, Tucker.

Authorities say they have found the owner of the dog, but, no charges have been filed against anyone at this time.

We're told the owner says the dog's name is originally Bruno.

Carter says it was a citizen who called animal control about the injured dog. He says he and another officer went out to check, and that's when they found the puppy on the side of the road in the grass.

Carter says no one around claimed to know anything about what happened.

Administrators at the hospital say the pup will need surgery. They say they hope to be able to save the leg that is shattered.

If you'd like to help, call the Crawfordville Animal Hospital at 850-926-2089.

Cauzican Care Animal Rescue is helping to care for Zeke. If you'd like to make a donation, call the Crawfordville Animal Hospital at 850-926-2089.

Crawfordville, FL - "Zeke", a puppy German Shepherd, was found by Wakulla County Animal Control last Thursday with gunshots in both of his hind legs.

Officers believe Zeke was shot and abandoned days before Thursday though, as he was found already used to walking on his front legs.

Since then, he has gained three pounds, and has been completely rid of fleas and ticks. He is also getting plenty of love, attention and care from the staff at the Animal Hospital

He will need surgery on his back legs where he was shot but techs at the animal hospital say his wounds have to heal a little more first, therefore, a surgery date has not been set.

Authorities say they don't know who did this or why it happened.

As of right now, there have been no charges filed and no arrests made, but the suspect may be looking at multiple charges.

Only a redneck gun totin repubican from Wakulla county would be stupid enough to do this, what evil?
.

Barry Gretchen Washington • a month ago −
Gretchen you are an idiot and you just showed the entire Big Bend your immense ignorance! I din't know if I should be angry at you or feel sorry for you. This is about a helpless puppy who has been the target of unspeakable cruelty and I know plenty of animal loving liberals and republicans who are horrified that this happened to such a beautiful, innocent creature. Focus Gretchen on Zeke and finding out who committed such a terrible act and not on those who fundamentally disagree with you on political issues!!

Jason Lay Gretchen Washington • a month ago −
Hey I now live in Wakulla county, I am an Aerospace Engineer, former Republican now Libertarian gun toter, and if I witnessed someone doing to any animal what they did to this puppy I would most likely be sitting in the Wakulla county jail for what I would do to them!
BTW, being country & talking with an accent doesn't mean a person is stupid, I have met & worked with plenty of Yankees & Europeans that sound brilliant but are dumber than a box of rocks!

Geoff_Peterson Jason Lay • a month ago −
As Jason writes, we ain't all "that way" here in Wakulla County. I am a professional scientist, a former Republican, former Libertarian and present-day gun toter. But this county, like just about every county in this great country, has its share of scumbag idiots. The good people rarely make the news, but the idiots always do! However ... I work with many people from all over the world - and most of them speak and write better English (their second, or third, or fourth language) than a large percentage of the "natives" ... BUT - some of the dumbest people I've met have "Ph.D." after their names. One size does not fit all ...

CAMP HUMPHREYS — Dog lovers here gathered for Pet Fest 2012 at the Humphreys Veterinary Clinic May 5. The event featured the paws walk, a pet show, face painting, an agility course, pet photos, informational booths, a military working dog demonstration and an awards ceremony.

“We are really happy with the turnout and excited to be a part of the Camp Humphreys community,” said Capt. Amy Carlson, officer in charge at the Humphreys vet clinic. “We have many events such as face painting, doggy treats and grooming. Humphreys has been great to us and we have received lots of support. We look forward to continuing events like this today.”

The American Red Cross participated in the event to offer knowledge about pet first aid, while the Osan Animal Shelter provided information on pet adoptions.

The dog show had categories such as owner/pet lookalike, best dressed, best pet trick and best in show. Rocko, owned by Blair Bogle, was the biggest winner of the day, winning first prizes in owner/pet lookalike and best in show categories.

“This is a great opportunity to hang out with dog lovers and people with the same hobbies,” said pet owner Tom Stout. “This event also provided information for people who are PCS’ing and have pets with them. This was a fun day.”

The dog show had categories such as owner/pet lookalike, best dressed, best pet trick and best in show. Rocko, owned by Blair Bogle, was the biggest winner of the day, winning first prizes in owner/pet lookalike and best in show categories.

“This is a great opportunity to hang out with dog lovers and people with the same hobbies,” said pet owner Tom Stout. “This event also provided information for people who are PCS’ing and have pets with them. This was a fun day.”

Speke's Gazelle (5)
endangered species of animals
Image by 5of7
Speke's Gazelle (Gazella spekei) is the smallest of the gazelle species. It is confined to the horn of Africa where it inhabits stony brush, grass steppes, and semi deserts. Severe habitat fragmentation means it is now impossible to assess the natural migratory or nomadic patterns of G. spekei. Its numbers are under threat, and despite an increase in population it was announced by the IUCN in 2007 that its status had risen from vulnerable to endangered. Captive population is maintained, and the wild population exists in the lower ten thousands. This photo was taken at the Phoenix Zoo on March 12, 2011.

Orang utan: The Old Man of the Forest

Image by Durotriges
The Borneo species of Orang is classified as Highly Endangered and the Sumatran is Critically Endangered. The Borneo has some 50,000 in the wild, while the Sumatran some 7,000.

Once again this is due to habitat destruction - logging, mining and forest fires have taken a heavy toll on this wonderful ape. So, too, has the trapping of baby orangs for the illegal pet trade.

This is one of the female orangs looked after at Chester Zoo.

Basilosaurus cetoides - total view - Smithsonian Museum of Natural History - 2012-05-17
extinct animal
Image by Tim Evanson
Skeleton of a basilosaurus cetoides in the Sant Hall of Oceans in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. The name Basilosaurus means "king lizard"; the animal is a mammal, but was originally thought to be a kind of dinosaur or lizard. The name "cetoides" means "whale-like."

Basilosaurus cetoides lived 40 to 34 million years in warm seas around the world. It was first discovered in Louisiana in 1832. Skeletons were so common, people used them for chairs! Fossils have since been found in Pakistan and Egypt, and scientists think there may be anywhere from 3 to nine sub-species.

Basilosaurus cetoides grew to be about 60 feet (18 m) in length and was the largest animal on land or sea living at the time. The animal was extremely elongated. with the body behind the tail tapering rapidly. The bones at the tip of the tail indicate it had a very small fluke for its massive size. From the way the muscles appear to attach to the spine, the amazing flexibility of the spine, and other features, it's clear that basilosaurus cetoides used its whole body (not just the tail) to move through the water. It was much like an eel, although eels move sinuously side-to-side and the basilosaurus cetoides moved up and down!

Basilosaurus cetoides probably had a small dorsal fin or ridge, and had extremely tiny two foot (0.6 m) long hind limbs. These limbs had limited mobility, and in fact could only assume two positions: Against the body and against the belly. Scientists think that the limbs were used during sex, to help the male cling to the female.

The bones of basilosaurus cetoides were hollow and probably filled with fluid. This helped it maintain buoyancy in the ocean, and has led scientists to conclude that it did not dive much (if at all). It probably could not move very fast or for very long, and probably lurked at the surface as an ambush hunter. The brain in basilosaurus cetoides is quite small, which means it was probably a solitary animal. There is also no indication that it could echolocate like modern whales.

This skeleton in the Smithsonian is the only real specimen currently exhibited anywhere in the world.

These pics were all taken @150mm focal length or greater.

i seperated these fro mthe rest as i discovered them to be extremely soft especially when taken with the widest aperture available. Some pics taken at F/8 or greater are useable but still soft.

cos of these pics i have replaced my kit 50-200mm pentax lens with a tamron 28-300 which seems to be sharp all the way through the focal length ... gosh darn it ... i guess i have to go back to Chester Zoo :)))))
