City slickers miss out on real life: Attenborough

clipper's remarks: Heard the same thing when I was a kid.

Is our increasingly urban lifestyle leading us to lose touch with the realities of life and death? World famous wildlife communicator Sir David Attenborough believes it is.

"There's no doubt that we are becoming increasingly divorced from the natural world, there are lots of people who spend their lives in cities and never see a wild thing unless it's a pigeon or maybe a rat, so you lose touch, you lose touch with the rhythms of the natural world, you lose touch with the realities of the natural world," he said.

"I don't want to get too pretentious but you lose touch with both life and death, with both how life is created and how death is inevitable.

"If you're brought up in the countryside - and I wasn't - but if you were you would know those things on a daily basis, you see life and death in the farm yard."

Sir David also cites the increasing of the world's population as a big factor in the decreasing size of the natural world.

Sophie

TAMPA, FL -- "It's heartbreaking and I'm in shock that this even happened."

Michael Chengerian has lived in Westwood Lakes with his precious cocker spaniel Sophie for the last five years, but this afternoon, his little dog lost its life to a very large alligator in his own backyard.

"I let the dog out to go to the bathroom and I had my back turned for just a minute," he said, "And this gator came out of the water, grabbed my dog and pulled him into the water. I heard the dog yelping and there was nothing I could do."

Chengerian still went after the gator to try and rescue his dog. He then brought the dog up onto the bank and tried to resuscitate the dog Sophie, but it was too late.

"It was a cute little cocker spaniel, just an adorable little dog. she was just helpless."

Fish and Wildlife officials said someone might have been feeding the alligator, which was over 8 feet long. Trappers took only a minute to catch it.

The location was Gretna Green, Scotland. The stage was set: a perfect evening, hundreds upon thousands of starlings. And then the main character appeared, off stage-left – a peregrine falcon, which sent ripples of pulsating panic throughout the entire flock. ‘I used a slow shutter-speed,’ says Danny, ‘so I could accentuate this lovely sweeping movement as the birds exploded over farmland and trees to escape the hunting peregrine.’

Ross Perot Jr Haggling to Finish Off the Rhino He Shot That Got Away

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:32:24 GMT

clipped by: celestialdancer
clipper's remarks: "White rhino (Ceratotherum simum) are considered a conservation-dependent species and are classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Intense efforts have increased the population from fewer than 100 in 1895 to approximately 17,500 today.

Supporters of trophy hunting claim it is a viable method for “managing” the white rhino population. The practice also brings in tourism dollars and helps fund conservation efforts. Many others oppose the notion of trophy hunting, pointing out that killing an animal to get a thrill - and acquire a stuffed head for one’s wall - is not an acceptable “sport”."

Apparently his son Hill Perot got his trophy, "white rhino head".

Clip Source: ecoworldly.com

The son of former American Presidential candidate Ross Perot - Henry Ross Perot Jr. - is reportedly engaged in a legal battle involving South African wildlife authorities over the head of rhino he wounded during a trophy hunt earlier this year.

Perot supposedly shot a bull rhino at Mkhuze game reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, but the animal escaped. However, Perot believes he’s still entitled to his trophy - the rhino’s head.

According to South Africa’s Independent Online, wildlife authorities have not been able to locate the wounded rhino - or a dead rhino.

A professional hunter acting for Perot then engaged lawyers to allow a “follow-up” operation and it was agreed that Perot could have the animal’s head if it was tracked down during a hunting operation scheduled to start this weekend.

The professional hunter accompanying Perot is said to be Garry Kelly, who claims that the purpose of a second hunt was to destroy the wounded rhino in order to end its suffering.

The First Video Footage of the World's Most Elusive Cat

clipper's remarks: "Andrew Hearn and Joanna Ross, researchers from the United Kingdom’s Global Canopy Programme’s Bornean Wild Cat & Clouded Leopard Project, have been surveying five species of wild cats of Borneo for several years. Their work has uncovered some remarkable findings. Besides capturing the world’s first ever video of the rare cat, the two are also credited for snapping the first photograph of a live bay cat. Based in the Tabin Wildlife Reserve in Sabah, camera trapping and radio-tracking methods are utilized in their research. The program also provides educational materials, community surveys and training courses as well. " (from the article)

Clip Source: ecoworldly.com

Researchers in Malaysian Borneo have captured the world’s most elusive and endangered cat on film. The beautiful Bornean bay cat, Catopuma badia, is so rare; a live cat was not even photographed until 1998!

Although the amazing video only lasts seven seconds, the chestnut-red cat with the long tail can be clearly seen walking through the forest. Because so little is known about this particular wild cat, even its eating habits are unknown.

Endemic to the forests of Borneo, threats to this elusive animal include illegal pet trade, poaching, deforestation and habitat loss largely due to palm oil plantations. Listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, it is estimated that only 2,500 Bornean bay cats remain in the wild today.

ALong with numerous photographs, the Bornean bay cat video footage is available on the MongaBay website.

A Positive Outcome to Conflict???

A bear killed two militants after discovering them in its den in Indian-administered Kashmir, police say.

Two other militants escaped, one of them badly wounded, after the attack in Kulgam district, south of Srinagar.

The militants had assault rifles but were taken by surprise - police found the remains of pudding they had made to eat when the bear attacked.

It is thought to be the first such incident since Muslim separatists took up arms against Indian rule in 1989.

The militants had made their hideout in a cave which was actually the bear's den, said police officer Farooq Ahmed.

News of the attack emerged when their injured comrade went to a nearby village for treatment.

Wildlife experts say the conflict in Kashmir has actually resulted in an increase in the population of bears and leopards.

Following the outbreak of the insurgency people had to hand in their weapons to police - which put a halt to poaching.
