Gastrointestinal Diseases from Animals

One of the most beautiful and majestic animals to walk this earth is a deer. There is just something magical about the way they move, look around, and seem to directly meet our glance is like a connection to the angels. Seeing a normal, brown/grey deer in the woods is an incredible sight, but can you imagine seeing an albino deer walk out of the woods and into your yard.? How wonderful that would be. One of my Facebook friends has had this amazing thing happen to him, several times. How rare is it to see an albino deer? According to ncwildlife.org, Albinism is much rarer and may only be observed in one in 30,000 deer. There is also a very rare melanistic condition that causes a deer's coloration to be extremely dark and sometimes black.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is urging people who come across young animals to leave newborn wildlife alone and keep a distance. Many people will be outside this spring, and there is a good chance people will see newborn wildlife. These young fawns, hatchlings and other babies are charismatic and incredible to watch and photograph, but that's where the involvement of the public should end, according to the Game and Fish.  "Newborn wildlife is one of the best parts of springtime in Wyoming. But please view animals from a distance and do not pet or pick them up," Game and Fish biologist Will Schultz said. "With all animals, the first few weeks of life are the most critical in determining their survival and interference from humans can most definitely put their lives at risk." According to the department, many mammals hide their young and return periodically to nurse. Many people who find young animals without a moth...

Africa has got wildlife species that are nowhere else in the world, making conservation a more important topic. The tropical forests protect amazing apes some of which are very unique and rare to find, with the list topped by gorillas. Generally, gorillas are found in 11 countries on the continent with gorilla trekking being five star activity for a number of popular African destination for tourists such as Uganda and Rwanda. Mountain gorillas remain endangered, with just over 1000 individuals alive in the wild, and three other gorilla subspecies, Eastern lowland, Western lowland and Cross River gorillas listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List. They are threatened by habitat loss, disease, poaching and conflict with humans. This is made worse by the living conditions of people surrounding gorilla habitats including poverty, lack of social services and high human population growth rates. Mountain gorillas found in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Virunga Vol...

The Biden administration appealed the federal court ruling that sent gray wolves back onto the endangered species list, emphasizing the unsettled protection status of the iconic apex predator across the United States. The U.S. Department of Justice recently filed a notice of appeal to the decision of a federal judge in California who, in February, ordered the gray wolf back under the safeguards of the Endangered Species Act. Animal welfare advocates and hunting proponents reacted to the news with uncertainty – neither camp is sure what this means for the future of America's largest wild canine. Meanwhile, Michigan wildlife regulators are in the final stages of writing a plan to care for the state's 700-some wolves should the responsibility ever shift away from federal authorities. The gray wolf has steadily recovered from extirpation across the Upper Peninsula during the last 20 years. The species has repeatedly been shielded – and not shielded – by endangered species protectio...

ELLENDALE, Minn. — When the Cowell family first started raising cattle, there weren't many others in their area of southern Minnesota with the Highland breed. But that has changed dramatically in the last few years. Melinda Cowell says there are probably 10 farms with Highlands within 50 miles of their farm near Ellendale, between Owatonna and Albert Lea. Ten years ago, that number would have been more like two. "Part of it is food availability," Cowell said. "People were worried about being able to access food when all the COVID stuff happened." For people wanting to raise a low-maintenance cattle breed with good quality meat, the shaggy, long-horned Highlands are considered a good choice. "Highlands have a name as an efficient and cheap breed to keep," Cowell said. ...

Some 20 cases of monkeypox virus have been confirmed in the UK, though officials expect that number to rise. A rare infection mainly spread by wild animals in parts of west or central Africa, monkeypox is distinct from chicken pox. A rash usually appears one to five days after the first symptoms of the infection emerge, which is sometimes confused with chicken pox. Here's what you need to know. What is chickenpox? Chickenpox is a particularly contagious infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, according to the NHS. Symptoms of chickenpox include itchy spots that become blisters, then scabs. These can be anywhere on the body, including in the mouth. Chickenpox usually gets better on its own after one or two weeks, but symptoms can be eased by applying cooling creams, antihistamines and taking paracetamol. You can catch chickenpox purely by being in the same room as someone who is infected. It is also spread by touching surfaces which have fluid from...

(CNN) The giant panda has long been the face of animal conservation, ever since WWF adopted the adorable black-and-white bear as its logo in 1961. But, after decades of intensive conservation programs, pandas are no longer endangered. With a relatively small population though, pandas are not out of the woods -- or the bamboo forest -- just yet. The biggest threat to the wild panda population is habitat loss. Its reliance on bamboo for sustenance has made the species particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, and China's rapid urban development over the past century has pushed pandas into a fraction of their historic range. And while around 54% of its wild habitat is protected, these areas are still vulnerable to natural disasters, such as wildfires. Now, conservationists hope that smart tech can help to safeguard the panda's future. A wild panda is captured dining out in Sichuan's bamboo forests.

This man is a bat's best friend In a bid to save endangered small brown bats, one man has built a second bat house - this one in Colchester. NICOLE HIGGINS DeSMET/Free Press Vermont is home to several species of endangered animals that may be especially at risk of habitat destruction during warmer months when residents are out and about traversing the state's wilderness.  "The term endangered generally refers to species whose continued existence as a viable component of the state's wild fauna or flora is in jeopardy," Vermont Fish and Wildlife says on its website. While fishing and hiking can be rewarding activities, nature-goers are advised to be respectful to their surroundings, disrupting them as little as possible. In recognition of National Endangered Species Day, May 20, Here are some ways in which Vermonters can help support the habitats of some of the state's most endangered animals.  A full list of endangered and th...
