    Extractions: 'Thumbelina' The genus Petaurus Breviceps, also known as the Sugar or Honey Glider, is native to New Guinea and Australia. Their size and appearance is like that of a flying squirrel but they are more correctly described as flying opossums. They are marsupials, meaning the female has a pouch where her babies grow after birth. They are also nocturnal and will be most active late at night. While it is inaccurate to call gliders flying squirrels as they are actually marsupials it is fairly accurate to call them marsupial flying squirrels. What does that mean as far as their suitability as pets? Well gliders are adapted to living, climbing and jumping to and from trees. And as such they have sharp little claws that they embed into whatever they are climbing. That includes your hands, arms and Photo credited to Kathy whatever other free area of skin they find and cling too. Glider owners frequently look as if they have just lost a fight with a fairly opinionated cat.

NEW GUINEA is the world's second largest island, exceeded in size only by Greenland, and it is also the world's highest tropical island, with 70% of the land still cloaked in dense tropical forests. The central spine of the island is a complex system of mountain ranges and upland valleys that stretch for nearly 2000 km. Highest peaks rise to almost 5000 metres. This huge equatorial island is a wondrous place, providing a rich variety of habitats for its wildlife: from reef and mangrove swamps at sea level, through swamp forests and lowland rainforests on the coastal plains and foothills, to mid-mountain beech and pine forests, and, at the highest altitudes, stunted moss forests and alpine grasslands. The result is an island teeming with life, with a greater diversity of animals and plants than almost anywhere else. Many are strange; most are unique.

    Extractions: Is the koala a bear? No. Bears are placental mammals. Koalas are marsupials, like kangaroos and wombats. Unlike placental mammals, marsupials are mammals that give birth to very underdeveloped young that then complete their development outside the mother's body - often in a pouch. How long do koalas live? Koalas live for 12 to 16 years in the wild (Phillip Island Nature Park 1998). How large are koalas? Adult koalas weigh between four and 14 kilograms depending on their sex and where they are from. Males are up to 50 per cent heavier than females. Koalas from Victoria normally weigh eight to 12 kilograms, while those from Queensland weigh between five and seven kilograms (Phillips 1990). What are the koala's natural predators? Koalas have few natural predators. In the past, the major cause of death appears to have been dingoes. Young koalas may occasionally be taken by powerful owls or wedge-tailed eagles (Phillip Island Nature Park 1998). Do koalas have territories?

    Extractions: A look at the Return to Dryandra Project, which aims to reintroduce some of western Australia's rare marsupials back into the wild. Included are the boodie, the mala, the banded hair wallaby and the western barred bandicoot, all of which have declinded in recent decades due to lose of native habitat and pressure from feral pests such as foxes and cats. In this report we go out at night and trap the marsupials, to check their condition and numbers. An ambitious project to return endangered species to their former habitats has received a good report card for its first nine months of operation. The Return to Dryandra Project is an initiative of CALM, the WA Department of Conservation and Land Management. In autumn this year four groups of endangered mammals were released into their new home into the Dryandra State Forest, 150 kms south west of Perth. The animals are housed in a 20 hectare enclosure surrounded by a 2metre high electrified fence. This is the first time a mammal breeding program has been attempted on this scale. Whereas Dr John Wamsley builds fences to keep feral animals out, the Dryandra fence is there to keep breeding animals in. And eventually, they'll all be released back into the wild. The boodie, the mala, the banded hair wallaby and the western barred bandicoot were brought as far as the Tanami Desert in the NT and islands off the coast of WA. The boodie and the mala are cute furry wallabies that grow to about 20 centimetres. The mala has long ears like the European hare and the boodie has strong barwing claws. It also makes a funny farting sound as it hops along which adds to its appeal. I visited Dryandra during the first trapping program following the animals release into the enclosure. On a chilly winter's night we left the warm fire in our cottage to find out how the mala were adjusting to their new home.

    Extractions: Welcome to the Prehistoric Data Files The purpose of these pages is to present general data concerning prehistoric animals. Dinosaurs aren't covered, there are many sites that more than adequately cover that subject. Also, birds aren't listed (the classification jumble since the dino/bird theories have surfaced make this a real challenge). Other creatures not covered are trilobites including all forms of invertebrates, and fish. Due to the sheer size of the tables presented and time required to assemble them, it was considered unreasonable to add these very large groups as well. The collection of information is far from complete, as is evident. Data will be added as acquired or updated when possible. A special note, the species indexes have been updated to Adobe PDF format and require an Adobe 4.0 Reader. This can be freely downloaded at their site. To download Adobe Acrobat Reader follow this link; Adobe Acrobat Reader Key to Abbreviations The Genus tables are relatively straight forward. The name is listed under the Genus heading followed by Order and Family . Other groupings (suborder, infraorder, subfamily, subgenus, etc.) aren't listed due to the sheer magnitude of data required. But these two groupings fairly well distinguish between various kinds of animals.

    Extractions: photo from The Animal Diversity Web Most of us are familiar with the term "Mammal". If asked, we could come up with a list of animals that belong to the class Mammalia and probably come up with a few characteristics that distinguish mammmals from other types of animals. In this investigation you will take a look at what thoses characteristics are and what groups of animals comprise the very diverse class we call mammals. You never know, you might be in for some surpirses. What exactly are the characteristics that separate mammals from other animals. To answer this question go to the Animal Diversity Web and find your way to the Mammalia page. Now that you are familiar with the general characteristics of mammals, lets look at the three groups in a little more detail. What is a monotreme? What are the representative monotreme species? What are the distinquishing characteristics of monotremes?

    Extractions: We offer these FAQs on animals we presently have or with which we have had past experience. They are being written in response to the multitude of inquiries we have had over the years. We believe the taxonomic information is current with the present changes as far as we have been able to determine. All of the information in these FAQs are a result of our own experiences and research and may not the same as others' experiences and research. A large portion of our baby animals are used in animal education programs. Some go to select private homes as companion animals. Due to the sensitive nature of these animals, private owners must be willing to become educated on the highly specialized care that the animals need - nutrition, exercise, socialization, training, habitat, etc. All exotic animals kept as animals for educational purposes or pet/companions must be neutered before they enter their first sexual cycle. If not, sexual behaviors can become established that are undesirable and difficult to correct. It is a huge responsibility to take on any animal as a pet. Considering an exotic is an even more serious responsibility. Some of the animals' behaviors may not be to your liking. You may expect the animal to react like one of those you have had or seen that have been bred in captivity as domestic animals for generations. Wild instincts in all animals are always there, some very evident, others latent and mis-leading. Never, never forget that exotic animals are not like domestic dogs and cats. They can all be trained if properly hand-raised and trained throughout their life with fairness and consistency.

    Extractions: Before it is possible to discuss reproduction in kangaroos it is necessary to look at some background information regarding marsupials in general. In the embryos of amniote vertebrates (reptiles, birds and mammals) there are three pairs of ducts which are concerned with excretion and reproduction. These are the Wollfian ducts, the ureters and the Mullerian ducts or oviducts ( Fig. 1 ). The Wollfian ducts are initially involved with excretion but during development they become sperm ducts or the vasa deferentia of the adult. The Mullerian ducts provide the fallopian tubes, uterus and vagina of the female tract. During the development of marsupials the ureters pass to the bladder between the Mullerian ducts, while in placental mammals the ureters enter the bladder by passing laterally to, or outside, the Mullerian ducts. The independent reorganisation of the urogenital ducts in early marsupials and placentals was most probably related to a separation of the urogenital tract and the gut and not primarily related to reproduction. This reorganisation has allowed the ureters to open directly into the bladder instead of the lower gut. If the urine is held in an impermeable bladder, as distinct from the permeable lower gut, it can be concentrated, thus enabling a considerable saving of water when excreting waste products from the kidney. Previously, it had been suggested that placentals had a selective change in embryogenesis which resulted in the alternative path for the ureters. This change, it was suggested, allowed for the fusion of the Mullerian duct derivatives to form a large uterus and vagina and thus permit the production of a lager advanced young. Such a simple explanation for the differences between the reproductive systems of placentals and marsupials is not supportable. Fusion of the Mullerian ducts is not necessary to achieve large offspring. Some placentals, even ungulates which give birth to advance young, have completely separate uterine horns and marsupials also show some fusion and development of the reproductive tract.

She lives in Tasmania and her first mummy died in a car accident. Suzy found her dead body, took Lydia out of the cold pouch and raised her under her shirts from then. Lydia was still young when I made this video, quick bouncing across the carpet was still easier than standing still upright for a while. So she'll live in her quiet unusual pouch for another while, until she's a big handsome bettong and bounces off into the forrests of Tassie. Hopefully she'll always avoid streets and cars in the darkness.

Internet Resources The following terms are very important in genetics and should be understood Macroevolution Geologic Time Scale Continental Drift Mass Extinction Pollen Macroevolution and the Fossil Record The fossil record was a crucial link to the thoughts behind the formulation of "Origin of the Species". Darwin was very interested in the fact that high in the Andes of South America, he could find fossils of plants and animals that were not known in the living world. Our interest in fossils is evident by the widespread enthusiasm among a variety of persons in the movies that relate to dinosaurs. Trips to places that have fossil records such as the Petrified Forest , reveal a world that existed in areas that would not support the same type of vegetation today. Along the Atlantic ocean on the beaches of Virginia can be found tree stumps that are in the process of fossilization, trees that are common to the hardwood forests of western Virginia. These fossils can reveal a lot of information in relation to climate and past biotic history. There are a variety of fossil types including paleobotanical specimens paleozoological specimens and paleomoneran specimens . In the case of plants, the organic material of leaves may be retained by the slow compaction of sediment accumulation. Another process results in the organic material slowly being replaced by dissolved minerals that leach into the void of the plant material and solidifies into a mineral deposit within cell walls and tissue. In both cases the cellular detail of the organism remains intact and in this way the relation of the plant to extant species can be made.

    Extractions: Broad-scale patterns in species diversity and species range size are the primary components of research within this focal area. My work has increasingly emphasized the scale-dependence of both pattern and process. As a consequence, I have been involved with the development of theory as well as with its empirical assessment in natural experiments. Species Richness and Productivity.- In collaboration with Robert Waide, I organized a working group funded by the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) to explore the relationship between productivity and diversity. The initial workshop comprised approximately 20 scientists representing a number of LTER sites, as well as other researchers with an interest in the topic. In a general way, the working group explored both the state of the theory and the quality of empirical data relating to theory. A subsequent working group of 8 scientists meet on a number of occasions at NCEAS to advance synthesis based on considerations from the earlier workshop. As a result of those efforts, we produced a publication in the Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics
