Wildlife The Furry Plague Brand new Ferret Fiction Read the Diary of Sebastian X All seems quiet, so you slide your shoes off and venture into the bathroom. After some stealthy hopping and shimmying your clothes are lying on the tile floor. You consider sneaking into the bedroom to drop them into the hamper. You haven't heard anything from tthere. They must be sleeping. You peek out the bathroom door, looking right and left, then dash into the bedroom. You stumble, but do not turn on the light. It might wake them. With a silent whoop of victory you slam-dunk your dirty clothes into the hamper and smugly begin to return to the bathroom. A long black tail disappears under the bed. You are alarmed, suspicious. What's missing? You look around... "My insole! I'll get you, Sebastian, you rotten weasel!" Your naked butt is sticking up into the air as you reach under the bed to retrieve your stolen insole. A mocking chittering noise issues from beneath the bed. It's too far under for you to reach and he knows it. Maybe you should just let him have it. Chomp! Tiny teeth tickle the tender part of your foot.

76. Ladywildlife's Pole Cat Page polecat and Man At one time, the polecat was hunted for sport. Today it is appreciatedin wildlife reserves because it controls the numbers of small rodents http://ladywildlife.com/animal/polecat.html

Polecat To see pictures of animals click the blue dot.. A solitary, nighttime hunter, the polecat is a European relative of the skunk. It was once widespread in Europe but was almost wiped out in some areas. The polecat lives in a wide variety of habitats, from woodlands to sand dunes. Once disliked because of its habit of killing game birds, it is now appreciated by foresters for controlling the rodents and rabbits that destroy the bark of trees. Habits: Polecats are solitary hunters and are active mainly at night. Males may have territories as large as 6,000 acres, which they patrol regularly in search of prey. Females have smaller territories that may overlap those of other females and males. Territories are marked by secretions of an oily, pungent musk. The polecat also sprays its scent when frightened or angry. Food and Hunting: The polecat preys on many other animals, including birds, toads, frogs, lizards, and snakes. It also eats smaller prey such as earthworms and insect larvae. Polecats are ruthless hunters, killing entire litters of animals but eating only one or two. They have even killed all the birds in a henhouse without eating a single one. Polecats are fierce hunters, often catching prey much larger than themselves, such as rabbits. They kill them with a bite to the neck. Polecats paralyze frogs and toads by pithing, or biting through the brain stem. This leaves the victims alive but immobile. Breeding: Polecats breed from March to June. The female allows the male to drag her around by the scruff of the neck for as long as an hour. They then mate several times. The repeated mating usually guarantees fertilization. The female gives birth in a nest of dry grass and moss to a litter of 5 to 10 young 40 to 43 days later. She guards them carefully and, for the first few days, leaves the nest briefly to feed. She also leaves the nest to defecate and urinate, which keeps the nest clean and is a habit that the young soon acquire.

77. Hare Today Gone Tomorrow Britains Dwindling Wildlife network. Fortyfive species of mammal were reported, including severalrare species such as Pine Martin, polecat, Otter and Water Vole. http://www.thestudentzone.com/articles/hare.html

Hare today - gone tomorrow? New figures from the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) indicate major changes in UK mammal populations over the last five years. Brown Hare numbers have declined in the southwest of Britain but Roe Deer are on the increase. A new report, funded by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), looked at whether data gathered by over 2,200 volunteers, through the BTO's annual BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey, could help identify population trends for mammal species. JNCC and a number of other organisations, including the BTO, are working together to set-up the mammal surveillance and monitoring network across the UK. The aim is to provide the sort of information on mammals which is currently available for birds. Data collected during the BBS could be an important part of the new mammal network. Forty-five species of mammal were reported, including several rare species such as Pine Martin, Polecat, Otter and Water Vole. The Rabbit was the most frequently sighted mammal, reported by 1209 observers during 2000. In second place was the Grey Squirrel, reported 596 times; twenty times as widespread as Red Squirrel. Although in third place (594), Brown Hare show signs of decline, in the southwest of Britain.

78. Wildlife2 Highland wildlife. The polecat (Mustela putorius) The polecat is extinct in Scotlandsince 1907 but it has been suggested that a few were still alive in the http://www.lochness-glenmoriston.co.uk/wild/wild2.html

Highland Wildlife The Fox (Vulpes vulpes) Foxes are very numerous in Scotland, but sadly to say they are hunted and shot by man to an average of about 50,000 a year, but this carnage seems to make no difference to the population. They are mainly a nocturnal animal who live in a den or earth. Following the mating season, a vixen can have a litter of three to eight cubs in March or April. The dog fox, or Tod as he is known in Scotland feeds the female while she is rearing the cubs. The Polecat (Mustela putorius) The Polecat is extinct in Scotland since 1907 but it has been suggested that a few were still alive in the late 1960's but that has never been proved. Their habitat included woodland, marsh, river banks and plantations. The polecat was carnivorous and its prey included hare, rabbit, small mammals and hedgehogs. The Badger (Meles meles) In Scotland, Badgers live in woodlands, banks and sometimes fields. Their homes are called setts and consist of extensive tunnels and chambers. The badger is thinly scattered in Scotland and despite their size the setts can be easily overlooked in sparsely populated areas such as the Highlands. Usually in February the sow can have two or three cubs. The Hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) The only spiny mammal in Scotland and the only one that truly hibernates is the Hedgehog. Though one of our best known animals, it is rarely seen because it is nocturnal. They are found over most of mainland Scotland although absent from large areas of moorland. Their main habitat is all types of woodland or scrub, including parks and gardens where they are sometimes quite common.

Here is the camp's June update. June was the best month of the year wildlife wise and we will be surprised if anything can surpass the sightings we had! It all started with the finishing of the hide next to the waterhole. We took several guests to "christen" the hide and we got a trunkful of water from an old elephant as - it really was a "christening". Since then we have enjoyed many brunches in the hide. The feeling is like having breakfast with the horses at the stables. Guests have loved the experience. As if this is not enough guests this June had the opportunity to witness the famous Savuti Pride bring down a buffalo bull 2 kilometers from camp. Prior to that the same pride tried to bring down a subadult elephant bull at Zibadianja lagoon. The lion enjoyed rodeo riding but could not bring the mammoth down. The trio cheetah brothers gave us four viewed kills, two kudu calves and two Impala. Another highlight of June was the resident pack of hunting dogs. Every third day they brought down an impala within camp, and even our marketing ladies from the Jo'burg office were rewarded with a kill by their door step. The pack of four is in camp either early morning or late evening - daily. The pack's presence has attracted several hyena to the camp for easy bites.
