white peacock | the rare animal
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010Albinism is due to various gene mutations that affect the production of normal pigmentation. True (amelanistic) albinos lack melanin and are white with no markings and with unpigmented pink eyes. Partial (blue-eyed) albinos have some residual pigmentation. There are various degrees of patchy albinism (piebaldism) due to localised mutations in skin cells. Temperature dependent albinos have residual colour on cooler parts of the body i.e. Siamese cats where pigment develops on the head, tail and legs, but not on the warmer parts of the body.
orangutan kickboxing
Friday, May 14th, 2010Cruel ape fight club exposed Dressed in garish shorts and boxing gloves, orangutans trade punches and spin-kick each other in a boxing ring. Horrifying footage shows cheering tourists drawn to the barbaric sport at a theme park called Safari World on the outskirts of Bangkok in Thailand. The same company was banned from doing exactly the same thing just six years ago. While an orangutan pretends to be knocked out of the boxing ring, others, dressed in bikinis are trained as round card girls and bell ringers.
The apes kickbox each other as a spectacle for tourists in a show lasting more than 30 minutes, before being returned to their dark cages. It is not known how many orangutans have been captured and trained by Safari World. Animal campaigners say the apes – weighing up to 250lbs – could do themselves serious damage in the boxing ring. They warn it is hastening the end of the orangutan, which experts claim could be extinct in the wild in several years. Dr Grainne McEntee, head of operations at Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS), said: ‘It is heartbreaking that such practices still go on.
‘Increasing awareness of the impact of deforestation in the Western world is crucial to helping bring this trade to an end.’ He said the continued devastation of the Bornean rainforest fuels this illegal trade in orangutans, both as pets and for use in entertainment. In 2004, the Thai government banned Safari World from conducting these controversial shows after the centre was found to be using illegally smuggled orangutans from Indonesia. The issue was exposed by Monkey World in Dorset and after Safari World was closed 48 orangutans were rescued and taken to a refuge in Nyaru Menteng, Indonesian Borneo.
BOS, which cares for 1,000 orangutans at the refuge, was instrumental in the successful repatriation. ‘When they arrived in Nyaru Menteng they always protected their face and head whenever people tried to get closer to them, said Hardi, the assistant project manager. ‘Maybe, because their trainers often beat them. ‘But no longer do they cover their faces and head as they have started trusting us.’ According to the staff at the project, the orangutans are healthy and disease-free
Dr Grainne said: ‘These orangutans now enjoy a semi-wild life on one of the islands close to the project. ‘We will soon release some of these rehabilitated orangutans back to safe protected rainforest – a future we strive towards for all the orangutans.’ Wild orangutans are now only found in the jungles of Indonesia. The Sumatran species is critically endangered while the Bornean species is endangered, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature red list.

Sumatran Rare Tiger Kills Indonesian Man
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — A rare Sumatran tiger dragged a man from a hut in an Indonesian village and broke his neck as friends tried to rescue the victim, an official said Monday. The 26-year-old man, identified as Darmilus, was attacked Sunday while he and seven friends were resting in a makeshift hut in Seponjen village near the protected Berbak National Park, a known tiger habitat.
Darmilus was lying closest to the door when the tiger grabbed him and dragged him outside, said Nurazman, an official with Jambi Province conservation agency. His friends managed to pursue and fought to release him from the tiger’s grip. “The tiger finally ran away but had wounded the victim on his head and neck,” killing him, said Nurazman, who uses a single name.
Local authorities are investigating why the friends, who were on a fishing trip, were camping so close to the park. The Sumatran tiger is the most endangered tiger subspecies in the world, largely because of poaching and the destruction of their forest habitat for palm oil and wood pulp plantations. The government says only about 250 of them are left in the wild.
