  • Falanouc or Malagasy small-toothed civet (Eupleres goudotii) pulling an earthworm from the ground.<br />
Montagne d'Ambre National Park.<br />
n.MADAGASCAR<br />
A small to medium sized carnivore slightly larger than a domestic cat. This is probably Madagascar's most specialised carnivore. Its elongate snout and tiny conical teeth have evolved to catch earthworms and other small invertebrates on which the Falanouc feeds almost exclusively. It forages in leaf-litter digging up food using its strong forepaws and long claws. <br />
The falanouc is crepuscular (dawn & dusk) and nocturnal<br />
ENDEMIC TO MADAGASCAR and rare over most of its range.

  • Bat-eared fox (Octocyon megalotis) Duba Plains.<br />
Okavango Delta. BOTSWANA. Southern Africa.<br />
HABITAT: Open plains and dry pans. They are mostly nocturnal but can be seen lying outside of their burrows during the day. They dig their own burrows which can be up to 3 meters deep.<br />
Small carnivore weighing about 4kg's with a shoulder height of 30cm.<br />
These small carnivores eat mostly insects, termites, locusts, grasshoppers and beetles. Sometimes they eat fruit, small rodents, reptiles, seeds, scorpions and carrion. Their large ears provide for sensitive hearing so they are able to hear termites underground and then dig them up. They also provide a large surface area which helps the fox to lose heat which is vital as they tend to live in hot regions.<br />
Bat-eared foxes are prone to rabies and during the 80's a rabies outbreak serverely depleted their numbers in Southern Africa.

  • Wild dog or painted wolf (Lycaon pictus) Savuti channel, Linyanti region.<br />
BOTSWANA. Southern Africa.<br />
STATUS: ENDANGERED. THEY ARE THE MOST ENDANGERED LARGE CARNIVORE IN AFRICA AND THE SECOND MOST ENDANGERED CANID IN THE WORLD. This is due to habitat distruction, over-hunting and rabies.<br />
HABITAT: Wide tolerance. Prefer to hunt in open plains but then take refuge in wooded areas, often in mopane forests. They are crepuscular (early morning and dusk) and diurnal but will hunt at night during a full moon. <br />
They weigh 25-30 kg's with a shoulder height of 65cm.<br />
Wild dogs are the most successful hunters in the bush and they hunt co-operatively in packs and maintain a speed of 60km p/h for about 5km. Once caught the victim in quickly torn apart and devoured to prevent hyaenas and lions from stealing the carcass. Wild dogs take care of their young and sick and will readily share their food with other pack members. The whole pack helps to raise the young which are born of the dominant pair. (alpha male and female)<br />
They contact rabies from domestic dogs as they often cross through agricultural and rural areas.

  • Jaguar (Panthera onca) - male near Porto Joffre.<br />
Pantanal. Largest contiguous wetland system in the world. Mato Grosso do Sul Province. BRAZIL.  South America.<br />
There is much size variation among these cats but in the Pantanal they are larger than those found in the rainforests. These are the largest of the spotted cats in the Americas. They are both diurnal and nocturnal and hunt at any time of the day. Territorial and generally solitary. They may feed on large mammals such as capybaras, peccaries and deer as well as turtles, tortoises, caiman, birds, fish and smaller mammals. They may kill livestock and do in the Pantanal which is why they are still hunted there by some ranchers.<br />
HABITAT & RANGE: Found in a variety of habitats from rainforests to wet grasslands and arid scrub up to 2000 m in elevation. North, Central and South America. From Mexico to Argentina. Formerly in sw USA and Uruguay where now extirpated.
