  • Huaorani Indian - Mipo Wira. Gabaro Community. Yasuni National Park. Amazon rainforest, ECUADOR.  South America<br />
Mipo has the tradition large ear lobes and wears balsa ear plugs on occasion.<br />
This Indian tribe were basically uncontacted until 1956 when missionaries from the Summer Institute of Linguistics made contact with them. However there are still some groups from the tribe that remain uncontacted.  They are known as the Tagaeri. Traditionally these Indians were very hostile and killed many people who tried to enter into their territory. Their territory is in the Yasuni National Park which is now also being exploited for oil.

  • Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis)<br />
MADAGASCAR<br />
One of the most bizarre mammals/ primates / lemurs in the world. Their peculiar features include huge ears, bushy tail, long shaggy coast, rodent-like teeth and a skeletal 'probe-like' middle finger. Males and females are simular looking and have a body length of 440-530mm and weight of 2.3kg. They are nocturnal lemurs and largely solitary. During the day they hide in a 'nest' which they make from twigs and dead leaves. They are continually making new nest sites. They feed on ramy nuts (Canarium madagascariensis) nectar from Traveller's palm (Ravenala madagascariensis), some fungi and insect grubs. They have also been known to raid coconut, lichee and mango plantations. They use their rodent-like teeth to gnaw into hard nut shells, then insert the skeletal finger to extract the pulp. A large portion of their night is spent foraging and they are able to travel considerable distances to do that. <br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Low and mid altitude rain forests, dry deciduous forests and some cultivated areas like lichee and coconut plantations. They are found widely in native forests along the entire east coast rain forest region, northern humid forests and west coast from Bemaraha north.<br />
THREATENED SPECIES: The population densities are not known but as in the case of most lemurs probably declining through habitat loss as their home-ranges are large. In some areas it is 'fady' (taboo) to hunt them while in others they are thought to bring bad luck and are killed by villages.  The meat is also sometimes eaten.<br />

  • 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. They have between 2 and 5 pups after a 2 month gestation period.<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.

  • Galapagos sealion (Zalophus wollebaeki) underwater<br />
Española or Hood Island, Galapagos Islands<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
There are approximately 16,000 individuals in the archipelago and numbers are increasing. Males are much larger than females, weighing up to 250kg compared with 100kg in the females. They spend a large amount of time hauled up on sandy beaches. The males establish territories which are savegely defended from rivals. Young bachelors and unsuccessful bulls then leave the area and establish bachelor colonies on the outskirts of female haul-outs. Reproduction occures mainly in the Garua season between July and December and will vary from Island to Island. Sealions are highly thigmotactic (seeking body contact) and loaf around in piles on the beaches. They are extremely efficient hunters, preferring sardines to other fish, so spend a considerable time resting or at play. Underwater they are well streamlined, lithe and acrobatic.
