Like bears, wolverines live off a diet of both meat and vegetation. With sharp blades for claws and a ferocious bite, this member of the weasel family has been known to take down prey more than twice its size.
However, Alaskan animal conservationists believe the wild beasts can be put to good use - training them to sniff out humans like mountain rescue dogs.
In all his years playfully “wrestling” with wolverines, he’s never been mauled or had to go to the emergency room…
No emergency room visits. I guess that’s something.
Koala Coast Soon to be Koala Free
“There are already a number of areas in which koalas [on the Koala Coast]… are at such low densities that they are effectively extinct,” stated the landmark South East Queensland Koala Population Modeling Study review, as obtained by ABC News. “It appears the loss of koalas from many sites there is imminent.”
The report found that more than 80 percent of koalas have disappeared on the said area, in and around Brisbane, since 1996. More than 50 percent have also been gone in Pine Rivers, located north of Brisbane, during the same period.
Desperate Times in Drought Stricken Zimbabwe
Last week, wildlife authorities asked local farmers and private game rangers to buy wild animals to save them from starvation in national game reserves.
Zimbabwe’s financial collapse is going to make this a tough proposition.
Public and Private Cooperation – It Can Make A Difference
A huge Montana nature reserve added a 47,000-acre historic ranch to its patchwork of lands along the Missouri River on Friday, a significant step in a privately funded effort to stitch together a Connecticut-sized park where bison would replace livestock and cattle fences give way to open range.
"Over time the goal is an all-wildlife, public access situation," said Sean Gerrity, president of the Bozeman-based reserve. "People will come and the first thing they will notice is 'Welcome' signs instead of 'Keep Out' signs. They will notice fences down and a distinct openness to the landscape, unfettered by fences, power lines, power poles."
Where the buffalo will roam.
The US government has quietly dropped its campaign for an international ban in the trade of polar bear parts, which would have given the practice the same outlaw status as the elephant ivory market.
Canada claims that the trade in polar bear parts helps its indigenous Inuit people. Funny that Canada will help when trophy hunting is involved, but not so much if it isn’t.
Suicide has plagued Canada’s indigenous communities for decades. The leading cause of death among indigenous youths and adults younger than 45 is suicide and self-inflicted injuries, according to Health Canada.
If preserving the Inuit way of life didn't include $50,000 a try trophy hunting of the bears, I would have been willing to give the Canadians the benefit of the doubt.
Have a great day and Just Save One.
