Gato

O gato (Felis silvestris catus), também conhecido como gato caseiro, gato urbano ou gato doméstico, é um animal da família dos felídeos, muito popular como animal de estimação. Ocupando o topo da cadeia alimentar, é um predador natural de diversos animais, como roedores, pássaros, lagartixas e alguns insetos.
A primeira associação com os humanos da qual se tem notícia ocorreu há cerca de 9.500 anos, mas a domesticação dessa espécie oriunda do continente africano[1][2] é muito mais antiga. Seu mais primitivo ancestral conhecido é o Miacis, mamífero que viveu há cerca de 40 milhões de anos, no final do período Paleoceno, e que possuía o hábito de caminhar sobre os galhos das árvores. A evolução do gato deu origem ao Dinictis, espécie que já apresentava a maior parte das características presentes nos felinos atuais.[3] A sub-família Felinae, que agrupa os gatos domésticos, surgiu há cerca de 12 milhões de anos, expandindo-se a partir da África subsaariana até alcançar as terras do atual Egito.[4]
Existem cerca de 250 raças de gato-doméstico, cujo peso variável classifica a espécie como animal doméstico de pequeno a médio porte. Assim como cães com estas dimensões, vive entre quinze e vinte anos. De personalidade independente, tornou-se um animal de companhia em diversos lares ao redor do mundo, para pessoas dos mais variados estilos de vida. Na cultura humana, figura da mitologia às superstições, passando por personagens de desenhos animados, tiras de jornais, filmes e contos de fadas. Entre suas mais conhecidas representações, estão os gatos: Tom, Frajola, Gato Félix, Gato de Botas e Garfield.
-------------------------------------
The domestic cat (Felis catus or Felis silvestris catus) is a small, usually furry, domesticated, carnivorous mammal. It is often called the housecat, or simply the cat when there is no need to distinguish it from other felids and felines. Cats are valued by humans for companionship and ability to hunt vermin and household pests.
Cats are similar in anatomy to the other felids, with strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. As crepuscular predators, cats use their acute hearing and ability to see in near darkness to locate prey. Not only can cats hear sounds too faint for human ears, they can also hear sounds higher in frequency than humans can perceive. This is because the usual prey of cats (particularly rodents such as mice) make high frequency noises, so the hearing of the cat has evolved to pinpoint these faint high-pitched sounds. Cats also have a much better sense of smell than humans.
Despite being solitary hunters, cats are a social species, and cat communication includes the use of a variety of vocalizations (meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling and grunting) as well as pheromones and types of cat-specific body language.
Cats have a rapid breeding rate. Under controlled breeding, they can be bred and shown as registered pedigree pets, a hobby known as cat fancy. Failure to control the breeding of pet cats by spaying and neutering and the abandonment of former household pets has resulted in large numbers of feral cats worldwide, with a population of up to 60 million of these animals in the United States alone.
Since cats were cult animals in ancient Egypt, it was commonly believed to have been domesticated there, but there may have been instances of domestication as early as the Neolithic. A genetic study in 2007 revealed that all house cats are descended from as few as five female African Wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica) c. 8000 BCE, in the Middle East.Cats are currently the most popular pet in the world, now found almost everywhere in the

Por lo general, las avispas adultas son carnívoras, pero comen también materia vegetal. Varias especies tienen importancia económica, ya que se encuentran entre los polinizadores de los cultivos comerciales y algunas se alimentan de orugas. Las variedades que son parásitas, ponen sus huevos en el cuerpo o en los huevos de su huésped y son muy útiles para el control de algunas plagas.

Whale Rescue Burleigh Heads_10132009 (128)

Whale Rescue Burleigh Heads
Out taking some morning photo’s, when I notice a baby whale caught in the Shark nets off Burleigh Heads. I rang the police who get the Queensland Primary Industries and Fisheries who are in charge of the net to start the rescue. The men and woman from the Fisheries and Sea World did a fantastic job in freeing the entangled baby whale. They where two very large whales (the mother and escort???) swimming around the baby and staying very close while the rescue was performed. (by a very experience whale rescue team) ....."The sooner we know that we have an entanglement, the better chance we have of a successful release," he said.
www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2009/10/13/147631_gold-coast...
Queensland Shark Control Program Manager Tony Ham said public assistance was needed with reporting suspected entanglements.
"Anyone who sees a whale or other marine life entangled in shark control equipment can call the 24-hour hotline on 1800 806 891.
"With a significant increase in the whale population - approximately 12,000 now migrating each season - entanglements are anticipated at this time of year as the population makes its journey back to southern waters," Mr Ham said.
Including today's entanglement, since 2000 28 whales have been caught in shark control equipment in Queensland.
Of these entanglements, 25 whales have been successfully released...Congratulation to all.........

All the gates at the Monarto Zoo are solar-powered and opened and closed from remote-control on the Tour-buses. Twice today the tour-guide had to get out to convince the gate to close. Seems wet-weather is not good for their wiring!

Gray Wolf (Canis lupus)
It is the largest extant wild member of the Canidae family. Though once abundant over much of Eurasia, North Africa and North America, the gray wolf inhabits a reduced portion of its former range due to widespread destruction of its territory, human encroachment, and the resulting human-wolf encounters that sparked broad extirpation. Even so, the gray wolf is regarded as being of least concern for extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, when the entire gray wolf population is considered as a whole. Today, wolves are protected in some areas, hunted for sport in others, or may be subject to population control or extermination as threats to livestock, people, and pets.
Gray wolves are social predators that live in nuclear families consisting of a mated pair, their offspring and, occasionally, adopted immature wolves. They primarily feed on ungulates, which they hunt by wearing them down in short chases. Gray wolves are typically apex predators throughout their range, with only humans and tigers posing significant threats to them.
Genetic studies reaffirm that the gray wolf is the ancestor of the domestic dog. A number of other Canis lupus subspecies have been identified, though the actual number of subspecies is still open to discussion. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_wolf

My badly damaged remote for my Panasonic surround sound system. After leaving it out on the sofa the dog decided to use it as a toy, never in doubt who would win! Replacements not cheap either.

iguana
Image by doc(q)man
When we were in P.R. the last time, 11 years ago, iguana's were totally unknown here. Now the island is crawling with them: large and small, all shapes and colors. I even saw a giant old grey one through my binoculars in the trees way off that must have been at least 6, 7 feet long from head to the end of the tail.
Some years ago people brought them over from Panama as pets but let them go once they grew too big for keeping around the home. They thrived on this tropical island with its abundance of fruit(trees) and its lack of natural enemies for them. In Panama and other central American countries people eat them (calling them 'chicken of the trees') and thus keep their numbers under control but Puerto Ricans don't fancy them on their dinner table.
The result is that they are everywhere and are starting to form a plague for everyone with fruit trees in their yard (and that means most people...)
