Physical Geography Flora Land Mammals Marine Mammals Birds and Birding Insects To order the Handbook, ... click here Land Mammals by Marian and Mike Ferguson Since the abbreviated arctic summer provides resident populations little opportunity to recover from harsh winters, the diversity of species in Nunavut is low compared with warmer parts of the world. Nevertheless, the adaptive success of these few species is witnessed in the massive numbers their populations sometimes reach, and the proven ability of remnant populations to recover after decades at low numbers. In turn, the peoples who have lived in the Arctic have proven their ability to adapt, prospering despite dependence on such wildly fluctuating environments and resources. With some planning and luck, visitors to Nunavut will have an opportunity to observe many of these unique species in their natural habitats. The sheer expanse of the territory makes it unlikely that you could view all species during one visit, but residents can advise you where, when and how to see wildlife of greatest interest to you. Although not all populations are migratory, most exhibit seasonal behaviors that make them difficult to observe at some times. If seeing terrestrial wildlife is an important part of your visit, plan on using an

62. Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) And Quetico Park Wildlife late evening paddle will also offer additional opportunities to view wildlife asthe weasel FAMILY This group includes martens, fisher, otter, mink and skunks http://www.canoetrip.com/wildlife.html

Over 52 species of mammals and 150 species of birds inhabit the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) and Quetico Provincial Park. While on your canoe trip, while sitting at your campsite you may see a tiny shrew weighing a fraction of an ounce, or a huge bull moose weighing in at over 1200 pounds. Traveling and portaging through the BWCA or Quetico Park as silently as possible will afford you with the best possibility of seeing wildlife up close. If you hear a rustling or crashing in the woods, sit quietly and be patient. Moose, deer and other mammals frequently lack good eyesight, but have a great sense of smell. Usually they will smell your presence and if you remain still they will move into the open, or right by you after realizing that your smell is not a "threat" to them. Going out on an early morning or late evening paddle will also offer additional opportunities to view wildlife as the move to the waters edge to feed and drink. Mammals - This small flesh eating mammal spends much of its time underground, under rocks, under logs and sometimes even underwater. This tiny creature is covered with dense fur, has very small eyes and teeth and a long slender nose. Moles and shrews feed mainly on insects and earthworms. The pygmy shrew is the smallest living mammal, 3 inches long including the tail. Look for this animal along the shoreline, scurrying under rocks and logs.

63. Stoats And Weasels-Wildlife Trust @ Cornwall Connect But this was no edited wildlife film we could smell the blood and make eye Sincelaunching a stoat and weasel survey of Cornwall (in conjunction with FWAG http://www.wildcornwall.org.uk/spr98/page7.htm

Stoats and weasels On holiday this summer, in Tanzania, I witnessed the most dramatic wildlife spectacle of my life. The loud squealing of a warthog led us to a scene of carnage as four lionesses squeezed the last breath out of the unfortunate pig. Within minutes the eerie hoots and calls of hyenas surrounded the area. Made confident by their superior numbers, they made their move. Driving off the lions, they squabbled noisily over the bloody remains as the light faded. But this was no edited wildlife film: we could smell the blood and make eye contact with these large predators from the safety of our Land Rover. I was reminded of this incident a few days ago when I received a letter from Sheila Rowe after she had witnessed a similar scene. On this occasion, however, the warthog was a rabbit, the lions a single stoat and the hyenas two buzzards and a number of jackdaws. The stoat was attacking a large rabbit as a buzzard watched on. Having almost killed the rabbit, the stoat decided to move off, perhaps disturbed by Sheila or the relatively large raptor. The buzzard then finished the job, being subsequently joined by a further buzzard and several jackdaws. Since launching a stoat and weasel survey of Cornwall (in conjunction with FWAG) earlier this year, I have received numerous anecdotal stories such as Sheila’s. The survey itself set out to establish the distribution of these mustelids and to work out a method of assessing population changes. We also aimed to raise the profile of these creatures, particularly within the farming community. Stoats and weasels are thought to have declined nationally, but no one to date has looked at the situation in Cornwall. The results of the survey, however, are far from ready from publication, although it’s looking to be successful with over 400 records received to date with a good distribution across the county.

So how do the wild critters cope with the winter blues? Do they get cabin fever? How do beavers survive in their watery depths in the depths of winter? In New Hampshire, they have adapted to winters by constructing beaver lodges or by burrowing into river or pond banks. These winter abodes are surprisingly warm. Studies have shown that inside the lodge the temperature remains above freezing even if the outside temperature plummets to minus 40 degrees F. Several thick layers of branches and mud, combined with the warmth radiated by the beaver, keep their winter retreat snug and warm. Beavers keep the lodge tidy by entering the water to defecate and regularly cleaning the living area.

Wildlife of the Churchill Area Churchill is located in the transitional zone between arctic tundra and boreal forest allowing residents and visitors alike to enjoy a wide variety of wildlife. The listing below is based on material compiled by Peter Scott, former Scientific Coordinator with the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, and furnished by Jack Dubois, former Curator of Mammals, Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature in Winnipeg. Jack will once again be co-instructing our 2004 with Kim Monson of the University of Winnipeg. Mammals Large Herbivores: Moose (Alces alces) can occasionally be seen. Their habitat is marginal until well upriver. Woodland caribou and barren ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are seen in small numbers in the Twin lakes area. Hunting pressure makes them hard to see. Bats: The red bat (Lasiurus borealis) is rare. Muskrats: Muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) are fairly common and beaver (Castor canadensis) are present in fresh water and expanding in population size. Porcupine are present in low numbers. Rabbits: Two species of hare live in the region: the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) and the arctic hare (Lepus arcticus). The arctic hare is the more common of the two.

The Bangkok Post Story and picture by NARONG SUWANNARONG July 29, 2002 Recent sightings of an `extremely rare' back-striped weasel in the Northeast may indicate the species is more common than previously thought All these wild creatures were fun to watch. But there was one species that's really, really special: the back-striped weasel. It was early in the afternoon when I spotted the animal sneaking out of the bush to the water's edge. With a 300-millimetre telephoto lens mounted on the camera (I was preparing to shoot birds which are much smaller), the mammal was so close that it was hard to focus and the picture was pretty frame-tight. Unaware of my presence, the ``giant squirrel'' continued drinking despite the burst of light from my flash. I took just one shot and enjoyed myself watching the animal without causing any further interruption. That day, a few hours after its first appearance, the animal visited the waterhole again. I took another photo of it, this time without a flash (and it didn't come out as well as the first one which accompanies this article).

When you visit the Priest Lake Basin, you're in the home environment of numerous animals from small weasel family critters to the mighty grizzly bear, the majestic elk, and the noble bald eagle. Act as a good guest and you'll often be rewarded with the opportunity to view these creatures in their natural environment without disturbing them as they go about their normal routine. As with most wildlife species, the best opportunities to view these magnificent animals are early morning or dusk. They can often be observed in the vicinity of the many wetland areas in the basin or around lakes and streams. Larger game species that make the Priest Lake area their home include black and grizzly bears, whitetail and mule deer, moose, elk, wolves, a small herd of mountain caribou, mountain lions, bobcats, mountain sheep and a few mountain goats. The grizzly bear and mountain caribou have been designated as "threatened" under the endangered species act and their habitat is protected by selective mountain road closures, restrictive bear hunting methods, etc. A wide variety of smaller animals also make the Priest Lake Basin their home. Included are raccoons, skunks, snowshoe hares, beaver, otters, squirrels, chipmunks, weasel family animals, etc. These animals may be encountered at about any location in the Basin. You may encounter a few snakes in the area but all are the harmless variety. No poisonous snakes make the Priest Lake area their home.

Wildlife The most common large game animals of Baxter State Park are the Moose, Black Bear and Whitetail Deer. The moose are plentiful in Baxter State Park and are commonly seen during the summer months at Sandy Stream Pond near the Roaring Brook Campground, Russell Pond, Turner Dead Water, the outlet of Nesowadnehunk Lake, Dwelly Pond, Stump Pond near Abol, Tracy and Elbow Ponds near Katahdin Stream and Daicey Pond. Moose prefer ponds surrounded by marsh during the summer months because of the plentiful food supply and relief from insects. During September and October they are commonly seen along the perimeter road, Nesowadnehunk Field, Trout Brook Farm, Russell Pond and Turner Dead Water. Caution should be exercised with cow moose with calves in the spring and bull moose during mating season (Mid September to Mid-October). Black Bear are also common throughout Baxter Park. They are observed in the wild at raspberry patches on Center Mountain and blueberry patches on the Travelers in August and on Beech ridges in October. Caution should be observed with all bear. Do not feed the bear. They can be aggressive at close range.

79. Black-Footed Ferret (Endangered Species), Wildlife Species Information: U.S. Fis Both belong to the weasel family but ferrets sold as pets evolved in Europe The USFish and wildlife Service listed blackfooted ferrets as endangered in 1967 http://species.fws.gov/species_accounts/bio_ferr.html

Black-footed ferret, ( Mustela nigripes Line Art (8.9 K image) The black-footed ferret probably never was abundant, but its underground, nocturnal habits make it difficult for biologists to know for certain. The ferret's primary food source is the prairie dog, and ferrets live in the prairie dog's burrow. Line Art (1.2 K image) Line Art (18.3 K image) Black-footed ferrets hunt prairie dogs at night, but occasionally they are active above ground during the day. In search of prey, they move along in loping bounds from one burrow to the next. [US FWS Line Art by Robert Savannah] Photograph (39.3 K image) [US FWS Photograph By Rick Krueger] Biologists consider black-footed ferrets to be the most endangered mammal in the United States. Recently, however, thanks to aggressive captive-breeding and reintroduction programs, much progress has been made toward recovering the ferret population. Black-footed ferrets are members of the weasel family (Mustelidae), a distinction they share with weasels, martens, fishers, otters, minks, wolverines and skunks. Larger than weasels, black-footed ferrets are long, slender-bodied animals similar in size to a mink. They are characterized by a brownish-black mask across the face, a brownish head, black feet and legs, and a black tip on the tail. Ferrets' short, buff-colored fur becomes lighter on the underside of their bodies. The middle of the back has brown-tipped guard hairs that create the appearance of a dark saddle. Black-footed ferrets may look like the ferrets found in pet stores but they are actually a different species. Both belong to the weasel family but ferrets sold as pets evolved in Europe, while endangered black-footed ferrets evolved in North America.
