  • Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens)<br />
Isabela Island. GALAPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
2 of the world's 5 frigatebird species inhabit the Galapagos Islands. These birds have the largest wingspan to bodyweight ratio of any bird. This makes them highly manoeuvrable and acrobatic fliers. They are notorious as piratical cleptomaniacs and often steal food from other birds at every opportunity. A frigatebirds is able to discriminate between a bird with a full gullet and one which is empty. The unlucky booby or tropicbird may be plucked out of the air, dangled by the tail and shaken until it regurgitates its food which is then stolen by the frigatebird. The Magnificent frigate is the larger of the two species found in the islands.  In breeding season the male finds a suitable nesting area. Then slowly, over 20 minutes he pumps air into his grossly exaggerated bright red throat pouch until it is the size of a party balloon. As soon as the adult female flies by he loses control and erupts into fits of rapturous head-shaking and vibrating while uttering a shrill high-pitched cry. If the female is suitably impressed she will alight beside him and with his wing jealously protecting her the pair bond is sealed. Only one chick is reared on the flimsy stick nest.

  • Hubbard's Sportive Lemur (Lepilemur hubbardi) - previously assumed to be L. ruficaudatus<br />
Zombitse Reserve (high plateau between Isalo National Park and Tulear) MADAGASCAR. This reserve, only 21,500ha constitutes the last remnants of transition forest between the west & south floristic domains. It is a medium-sized nocturnal lemur with a long tail and one of the largest of the lepilemur species. Length: 500-560mm; Weight 500-800 grams. They cling vertically to tree trunks and jump large distances with their powerful hind legs. Tree holes or tree forks are the preferred sleep sites where they can be seen during the day resting. They are usually found singularly except during breeding season and when they have offspring. They are primarily folivorous although the fruits of some trees are also taken. It can tolerate leaves with high concentrations of potential toxins during the dry season and is even able to subsist on dry leaves. It may in some circumstances re-ingest its own faeces. During daytime resting this species is also known to have one of the lowest metabolic rates of any mammal. This is raised substantially prior to the night-time activity. This is a further adaption to help its survival on a very poor quality diet and also live at relatively high densities. A single young is born around October. At first the infant is carried by its mother in her mouth, it later clings to the fur on her back. When it is older still, the mother may leave or 'park' it in a tree hole or similar 'safe' site while she forages. They are preyed upon by  Madagascar long-eared owl (Asio madagascariensis), Madagascar harrier-hawk (Polyboroides radiatus) and fosa (Cryptoprocta ferox). The latter two being able to excavate it from its daytime holes.<br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Dry deciduous forest of w. Madagascar. Onilahy River inland to Zombitse and n to the Manombolo River.<br />
THREATS: Forest fires are common in its range to increase cattle pasture. Also hunted.<br />

  • Capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris)<br />
PHOTOGRAPHED IN: Pantanal. Largest contiguous wetland system in the world. Mato Grosso do Sul Province. BRAZIL.  South America. RANGE: All of South America.<br />
They are the largest rodents in the world - averaging 50kgs or 110Lbs. Largely aquatic mammals that feed on vegetation in and around swamps. They live in family groups of 10 - 30 animals. Due to their large litter sizes - up to 7 babies, they are are well suited to farming.  They do not compete with cattle as they graze short grass near water.
    22223_Capybara.tif
  • 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.
