    Extractions: Marsupials Do It Their Way The Class Mammalia is extremely diverse. One of the most fascinating aspects separating the various groups of mammals is reproduction. The Prototherians are egg-layers, belying the traditional descriptive of mammals as all being live-bearing. Taxonomically, Prototheria is considered a Subclass. These are the monotremes, Order Monotremata. They have a cloaca and only one external opening, hence the name [ mono = one, treme = opening, -ata = having]. The extant representatives are the platypus and the three species of echidna, or spiny anteater Subclass Metatheria is made up of the Order Marsupialia , having a marsupium. Subclass Eutheria contains all of the placental mammals and represents the "typical" mammal, with which we most readily relate. We humans are, of course, placental mammals. Class Mammalia refers to the presence of mammae and even the egg-layers nurse their young, once they hatch. Therion is Greek for "beast" or "wild animal" and eu- refers to "best."

    Extractions: Morris News Service DANIELSVILLE, Ga. - It's feeding time at Jere Hitchcock's ranch, and the livestock is eagerly parading to the spot where Mr. Hitchcock stands with a feed bucket. The animals look almost comical as they race to dinner, bobbing their long necks and waving their feathers. This isn't an ordinary ranch. Mr. Hitchcock and his wife, Chris, raise ostriches at JC Ostrich Ranch on Georgia Highway 174 north of Athens. "We're not doing it to make money," Mr. Hitchcock said. "We're doing it to provide a source of meat in this country that's pure. If we can get the industry started, that'll be something." Ostriches are native to Africa and are said to have an 80-million-year history. The huge birds can run 50 mph. The Hitchcocks got interested in ostriches by accident. Mr. Hitchcock's grandfather, Peter F. Bahnsen, was Georgia's first state veterinarian. There was an article about Dr. Bahnsen a few years ago in the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin

    Extractions: Your privacy Inquisitive Elizabeth Asks About Grizzly Bears! This month, I got to chat with the National Wildlife Federation's (NWF's) resident grizzly bear expert, Dr. Sterling Miller. Stationed in NWF's Missoula, MT office, Dr. Miller is a wildlife biologist working to reintroduce grizzlies into the Selway-Bitterroot region of Montana and Idaho. The region was home to grizzlies 35 or 40 years ago, but the population was exterminated before grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act. Today Selway-Bitterroot is the best place south of Canada for reestablishment of a new population of grizzlies, with habitat to support about 250 bears. But many people are concerned about the reintroduction effort - afraid grizzlies will be bad for business or bring too much government to the area. Of course, some people are afraid of the grizzlies themselves. Dr. Miller works to allay those fears, helping humans and bears live as peaceable neighbors. Thanks for taking the time to meet with me, Dr. Miller. I'd like to start with a pretty basic question. What makes a grizzly bear different from other bears?

    Extractions: Cockatoo Because Australia is an island, and has been for millions of years, its wildlife has been able to evolve independently. The animals of Australia are particularly interesting because many of them are distinctly primitive. There are groups of animals whose relatives have long since disappeared from other parts of the world. Many of the animals found in this country are unique. Australia is home to a variety of native mammals both on land and in the surrounding oceans. They consist of marsupials, monotremes and placental mammals. The largest number of the mammals, almost half, are the marsupials, which include the Kangaroo, Koala and Wombat. The word marsupial is derived from the Latin marsupium , which means pouch. The pouch gives protection to the very young animal and contains the teats from which it feeds. Nourished on its mother's milk, it grows in the pouch to a well-developed stage before it leaves the pouch. The only other country where marsupials are still found is America, and only a few species remain. The next group of mammals are the monotremes, the only egg-laying mammals in the world. They have one opening which serves for reproduction and for the elimination of waste products. This group is represented by the Platypus and the Echidna.

    Extractions: E-mail from the Edge: Australia Research team member Justin Maisonet went on a spotlighting excursion. The two white dots in this picture are the eyes of a possum. The way his eyes glow when light is shined on them is called "eye shine." This mirror-like adaptation allows some nocturnal animals to see better in low-light conditions. Marsupials in the Spotlight The results of today's field work were a bit disappointing. Within the five subsites at the Tully Falls study site we found no tree kangaroo droppings. Outside of the actual subsites, we did find some tree 'roo droppings, so that was a bright spot. It is not so much the disappointment of a failed best effort that we are concerned about. More importantly, if we find little evidence of tree kangaroos in areas that seem like appropriate habitat, it raises new questions about the distribution and habitat use of the 'roos. This particular site is within a state forest area, designed for the enjoyment of people and the preservation of wildlife habitat. We are going back to the same area tomorrow to run our transects (see yesterday's e-mail for an explanation of running transect lines) in an "interior" patch of rain forest. Today's site was on the edge, where the rain forest abuts an open field.

It’s being run by the Animal Gene Storage and Resource Centre of Australia, a partnership of universities, conservation agencies and zoo authorities, including the Zoological Parks Board of NSW and the Monash University Institute of Reproduction and Development By examining the reproductive physiology of common species of marsupials and monotremes , the project hopes to find ways of improving reproduction for more endangered species and populations. Possible techniques include:

    Extractions: Unlike placentals, marsupials are born in a very undeveloped state, and in a great number of species they are then protected within an abdominal pouch where they are milk fed until much more mature. Two thirds of all the estimated 250 living marsupial species are found in Australia and its neighboring islands including New Guinea. Most of the remaining species live in South America. The only marsupial which currently occurs in North America is the common and widespread Virginia opossum ( Didelphis virginiana A circa 1928 photo of a thylacine from the Hobart Zoo. The third group of mammals are the monotremes. They feed their young milk as do other mammals, but they also posses a number of reptilian characters. They are the most primitive of all living mammals as they have similarities to reptiles in their skeletal structure, and most amazingly, they still lay eggs! The monotremes are represented today by only three genera: Zaglossus (the long nosed echidna)
