  • 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.

Spectacled bears are the only bears found in South America. They are vulnerable due to fragmented habitat loss from farming. Although illegal some are still hunted.<br />
They are timid animals and usually run away from people. There are no known attacks on humans. Generally they are solitary but sometimes several are found together in corn fields, fruiting trees or scavenging on a carcass.

  • White-breasted mesite (Mesitornis variegata) Ankarafantsika Nature Reserve, Western deciduous forest. MADAGASCAR<br />
ENDEMIC FAMILY TO MADAGASCAR NUMBERING ONLY 3 SPECIES.<br />
These birds are considered primitive forms of the rail. Although they do fly they are almost exclusively terrestrial. Their nests are rather flimsy structures built low off the ground and accessible without flying. In this species the sexes are simular. They are strictly terrestrial forest species, secretive and active and found in groups of 2 - 4. They feed in the leaf-litter looking for seeds and small insects. At night several individuals may spend the night perched on a low horizontal branch. <br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Closed, deciduous dry forest on sandy soil and underbrush of which is covered with dead leaves. It is only known from 4 locations: Kirindy forest, n of Morondava, Ankarafantsika Reserve, Ankarana and Alalamera Special Reserves.<br />
THREATENED SPECIES: Due to restricted range and degradation of original deciduous dry forest by slash-and-burn and by invasion of forest by dogs and rats - especially near villages.<br />

  • Dried centipedes in Kunming Traditional Medicine Market. Yunnan Province CHINA<br />
Yunnan's rich flora and fauna has been heavily exploited. People have been using such things as walnuts, oil-palm, wild fungi, betel nuts, camphor, lacquer, chillies, longan, pomelo, angelica, devil-wood and countless others as medicinal plants for centuries. Over half the plant species in the whole of China are found in Yunnan. 1/4 of the country's medicinal plants grow there. Traditionally Chinese people have also viewed wild animals as a resource to be exploited rather than preserve. Health food in Yunnan is more likely to to mean snake blood, extracted bear bile, ground tiger's paw etc than carrot juice. Although there are many protected species and laws against the use of many animal products these laws don't seem to be respected. Sadly too, many of the things seen for sale in the markets are from other countries and there was a very high percentage of snakes, lizards, penises from different animals and sea creatures like sea horses.
