End of year review: I've chosen this as my Wildlife Photo of the Year. It's a cheetah running into its new home provided by Trophy Hunters. Yes, beautifully managed trophy hunting by Zambezi Delta Safaris in 500,000 acre Hunting Block 11 has increased native wildlife to such high numbers that they were able to reintroduce cheetahs, a predator missing from the area for at least 100 years. Cabela's Family Foundation is a big part of this program. Four cheetah were released this day. I got this shot by running a GoPro 10 on video mode atop a small tripod while I operated a Canon R6 and 150-600mm Sigma. Lots of good video from both cameras, but this single frame pulled from the GoPro captured the essence of wildlife restoration advanced by and funded by dedicated sport/trophy hunters. Conservation in action.

Hunting in SIDI BOUZID: Terrain and Ecological Features, Hunter Demographics and Participation in Tunisia Terrain and Ecological Features in Sidi Bouzid Region Sidi Bouzid, located in the heart of Tunisia’s interior, is a region defined by expansive plains, dry steppes, and semi-arid zones. This unique landscape, influenced by a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, is perfect for species that thrive in open, semi-desert environments. The region is sparsely vegetated with scrubby bush, low hills, and scattered pockets of farmland that are often dedicated to grain production. While the geography lacks dense forests or wetlands that attract waterfowl, Sidi Bouzid is an excellent region for small game hunting and predator control. The vast, open terrain requires hunters to be adept at using long-range weapons and understanding animal behavior in a wide expanse.

Burbot. Is it hunting or fishing? The burbot (Lota lota), often referred to as "gelod" in Russian, is a fascinating fish species that thrives in the cold, freshwater rivers and lakes across Russia. This nocturnal predator is widely distributed throughout the country, from the European part of Russia to Siberia and the Far East. It prefers deep, slow-moving waters with muddy or sandy bottoms, making it particularly well-suited to the vast network of lakes and rivers found in Russia's diverse landscapes. In many parts of Russia, burbot holds cultural significance as both a source of sustenance and a symbol of resilience against harsh conditions. Its firm white flesh is prized for its flavor and versatility, whether smoked, fried, or made into soup. During festive occasions, dishes featuring burbot are often prepared to celebrate the bounty of the winter harvest. The burbot, a fascinating and resilient freshwater fish, has developed an intriguing survival strategy to cope with low oxyg

Michigan weighs potential wolf hunting season If wolves are delisted, should Michigan hold a hunting season? This question is currently making the rounds in the Mitten State as the Michigan Natural Resources Commission (MNRC) determines whether or not that will occur if the state’s largest predator is removed from the federal endangered species list, according to The Detroit News. With annual tallies between 600 and 700, wolves are thriving in the Upper Peninsula and Michigan officials say that “the state’s wolf population has stayed stable for the past 12 years.” However, whether the state would hold a wolf hunting season continues to be a divided topic – one that invokes those passionate for a season and those who are strongly against one. “People don’t like wolves,” said Brian Roell, a Michigan Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist. “Unlike any other wildlife we deal with, it’s a love-or-hate relationship for most folks.” Supporters of a potential hunting season say

Tiger hunting is the capture and killing of tigers. Humans are the tigers' most significant predator, and illegal poaching is a major threat to the tigers. The Bengal tiger is the most common subspecies of tiger, constituting approximately 80% of the entire tiger population in Indian Sub-Continent, and is endemic to Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal, and India. Tigers have mythological, cultural and religious significance in these countries. Foreign invaders saw hunting of Tigers as a symbol of masculinity and an adventurous sporting event. It has been hunted in these countries for centuries. In 1924, the Tiger population in Asia was estimated to be more than 100,000. However, within less than a hundred years, it had declined to fewer than 3,200. Tiger has historically been a popular big game animal and has been hunted for prestige as well as for taking trophies. Extensive poaching has continued even after such hunting became illegal and legal protection was provided to the tiger. Now

Rewilding: Jaguars return to Argentina’s wetlands 70 years after local extinction Rewilding efforts are returning jaguars, the largest predator in South America, to areas where the species has been driven to local extinction due to hunting and habitat loss. In Argentina, just 200 Jaguars remain, but a reintroduction programme has returned a mother and two cubs to the country’s Iberá wetlands, 70 years after the species was last observed in the region. They are the first of nine jaguars which will be released to repopulate the wetlands, which are a protected area covering almost 700,000 hectares and offering an abundance of wild prey for the big cats. Jaguars are a “keystone species” - an organism vital for the continuation of the local ecosystem - as they control levels of prey which would otherwise overgraze habitats, reducing biodiversity. It is hoped their presence will help wildlife in the wetlands flourish. The adult jaguar, named Mariua by researchers, was born wild before b

Wild boar family. South of Russia. Wild boars are found in mixed or deciduous forests, sometimes found in steppes. Within Russia, they are distributed almost throughout its entire European part. Beyond the Urals, the wild boar's habitat stretches in a relatively narrow strip across the Asian part of the country to the Far East, where one of its most significant populations is found. Wild boar hunting is one of the most ancient, interesting and predatory hunts. The wild boar has always been considered a worthy trophy by hunters from Russia. The main purpose of wild boar hunting is the extraction of wild meat. Wild boar is less often hunted as a trophy animal. Wild boar meat is very popular with Russian hunters, with the exception of traditionally Muslim regions such as Chechnya or Dagestan. Wild boars are hunted there, but meat is not eaten, because according to the laws of Islam it is considered unclean. The taste of wild boar is in no way inferior to pork, but at the same time it

The name “raccoon” comes to us from the Indian word “Arakun”, which translates as “scratching with his own hands.” Raccoons are predatory mammals. Raccoon dogs are close relatives of raccoons (they are often confused with raccoons). How big is the raccoon? The length of its body is usually 45-60 cm. The average weight of a raccoon, depending on the species, can vary from 2-5 to 8-15 kg. Moreover, males are often larger than females. The structure of a raccoon’s body is a bit like a fox or a dog. The raccoon’s paws are an important distinguishing feature of these animals; they have very elongated pads, even reminiscent of human hands. So all raccoons have excellent grasping abilities. Raccoons easily climb on trees and can manipulate various small objects. The raccoon’s tail is long and usually fluffy. As for the color, all raccoons have a grayish-brown color, and their tail is painted with transverse black and white stripes. The raccoon’s head is very wide, has a short and sharp mu

The Best hares hunter in Canada. Lynx is considered to be the very orderly in Canada who brings the number of hares in the region back to normal. No, if a black-tailed deer, duck or mole comes across on the route, the Canadian lynx will definitely challenge them. But from 30 to 97% of the lynx's usual diet consists of hares. Hunting of the Canadian lynx for hares has become a kind of salvation for the locals. Those who have not experienced the rapid uncontrolled spread of hares or rabbits will not understand the essence of the problem. Here it is worth remembering the problem of rabbits in Australia, for example. Where there is no suitable predator, there is a catostrophic increase in the number of rodents and they simply destroy the nature around. Due to the poor diet, the Canadian lynx had to hone its hunting skills to perfection. If a lynx attacks, it means it clearly knows that it will have lunch. If the lynx is not absolutely sure of the result, it will not even attempt a throw

Coyote hunting is one of the most common forms of predator hunting that humans partake in. There are not many regulations with regard to the taking of the coyote which means there are many different methods that can be used to hunt the animal. The most common forms are trapping, calling, and hound hunting. Since coyotes are colorblind, seeing only in shades of gray and subtle blues, open camouflages, and plain patterns can be used. As the average male coyote weighs 8 to 20 kg (18 to 44 lbs) and the average female coyote 7 to 18 kg (15 to 40 lbs), a universal projectile that can perform between those weights is the .223 Remington, so that the projectile expands in the target after entry, but before the exit, thus delivering the most energy. Coyotes being the light and agile animals they are, they often leave a very light impression on terrain. The coyote's footprint is oblong, approximately 6.35 cm (2.5-inches) long and 5.08 cm (2-inches) wide. There are four claws in both their front

The bobcat (Lynx rufus), also known as the red lynx, is a medium-sized cat native to North America. It ranges from southern Canada through most of the contiguous United States to Oaxaca in Mexico. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List since 2002, due to its wide distribution and large population. Although it has been hunted extensively both for sport and fur, populations have proven stable, though declining in some areas. It has distinctive black bars on its forelegs and a black-tipped, stubby (or "bobbed") tail, from which it derives its name. It reaches a total length (including the tail) of up to 125 cm (50 in). It is an adaptable predator inhabiting wooded areas, semidesert, urban edge, forest edge, and swampland environments. It remains in some of its original range, but populations are vulnerable to extirpation by coyotes and domestic animals. Though the bobcat prefers rabbits and hares, it hunts insects, chickens, geese and other birds, small rodents, and deer. Pre

Hunting with Hawks Perhaps you'll never try falconry yourself. Katherine Browne once thought the same thing. But these days, the Prois pro-staff coordinator and licensed falconer does her small-game hunting with a raptor named Hades Katherine Browne’s hunting partner, Hades, can be a little high strung and aggressive at times, but Browne overlooks it. Hades is pretty good at what he does, and that behavior is typical for his kind. A northern goshawk, Hades is a member of the raptor family, and his natural maneuverability and speed make him a top predator and excellent hunting companion. When Browne, the dealer relations and pro-staff coordinator for Prois Hunting Apparel, is not working, you can often find the licensed falconer training Hades to hunt ducks, pheasant, grouse and quail in the woods and fields by her home. How does a young woman, such as Browne, become a falconer? “I have always been intrigued by raptors, and I love the idea of being a part of something wild and ancient

Three-eyed predator stalked the seas 500 million years ago Stanleycaris hirpex, which lived in the Cambrian period, had two protruding eyes on the side of its head and a larger eye in the centre A three-eyed animal with wing-like fins once swam through shallow seas, using heightened visual perception to hunt smaller sea animals. Stanleycaris hirpex lived in the Cambrian Period about 500 million years ago, not long after the first eyes appeared in the fossil record. It is the first animal with three eyes known among the arthropods, the group containing insects, arachnids and crustaceans, but the researchers who described it think there may be others in which a third eye has been overlooked. S. hirpex was roughly the size of a human hand and had two protruding eyes with hundreds of lenses on each side of its head, plus a third, much larger eye in the middle. Living among finger-sized animals, it probably used its advanced visual system to chase down fast-moving prey, says Joseph Moys

Soldiers of the elite guard unit of the Iranian Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in a leopard skin uniform, 1960, Tehran. Persian leopards are one of the largest subspecies of leopards in the world. Their body length ranges from 126 to 183 cm, and their tail is 94-116 cm long. The skull is 20-25 cm long in males and 20-22 cm in females. The upper teeth of males reach a length of 68-75 mm, in females they are 64-67 mm. The height of the animal is approximately 76 cm, the average weight reaches 70 kg. In general, it is a very cautious and secretive animal. A leopard usually tries to hide, but when defending itself, it can even attack humans. He chooses gorges with streams or dense thickets as shelters. In deciduous forests, it can climb high into trees. It is not afraid of frosts and heat, but the predator usually stays far from reservoirs. The distribution range of this subspecies is quite wide, starting from the Main Caucasian Ridge and continuing to the Red Sea, and from the Bosphorus Ch

A Night in Hippo Heaven By Donald J Stoner It is said that hippos kill more people in Africa than any other animal (if you exclude mosquitos). But does that qualify them to be classified as dangerous game. I have certainly had my doubts until, that is, an experience I had one night in a farmer’s field. There is no question that an animal that weighs two tons, can run up to 20 mph and has huge teeth, has the potential of being dangerous. The danger is highest if you happen to catch a hippo on the land. Water is their preferred environment and they seem less threatened there. I don’t think any predator will attack a full-grown hippo in the water, although a big croc will certainly snatch a small hippo given half a chance. On the other hand, lion, especially a large pride, will attack a hippo if they catch it on land. This may have something to do with hippo temperament when they are away from water. Threaten a hippo on land, and it will head straight for the nearest water an

PREDATOR HUNTING—HOW TO GET STARTED THE EASY WAY CLASSIC COYOTE SETUPS There are three basic types of coyote hunts: A silent stand in which you post up and hope to shoot coyotes passing by. A calling stand in which you hunker down and call coyotes into gun range; What I call a “run-and-gun hunt” in which you drive rural roads and stop periodically to call, then set up when you get a response. 1. SILENT STANDS Looking at the silent stand, your standard deer-season treestand or ground blind can work beautifully, especially if it is situated between deer feeding and bedding areas. Those are the same habitats that coyotes work, so as long as the wind is favorable—that is, blowing away from where you expect to see coyotes—then you should expect a shot. This silent-stand hunting is not a numbers game. You are relying on a dog to simply show itself, and if you shoot, or do anything to alert animals that you’re in the area, then you might be in for a long, slow day. But you can make good

Podivný přírůstek u divočáků v brněnské oboře. Pro netradiční zbarvení selat není vysvětlení Netradičně si zahrály geny u divočáků v brněnské oboře Holedná, kam míří na procházky tisíce lidí. Z pěti selátek mají tři klasické a všem dobře známé pruhované zbarvení, dvě jsou ale bílá s černými tečkami a připomínají spíše buclaté dalmatiny. Nejde o výsledek křížení s domácími prasaty. Pro podivné zabarvení selátek nemají odborníci vysvětlení. Na Holedné se navíc v minulosti již podobná selata narodila. Toto zbarvení by jim mělo zůstat po celý život, řekla Novinkám Monika Neshybová z vedení společnosti Lesy města Brna, která v oboře hospodaří. Selata-dalmatini se jinak ničím neliší od těch ostatních. Nemají rudé oči a nejde tedy o albinismus. Ve volné přírodě by patrně dlouho nepřežila. Pruhované zbarvení totiž selata chrání před predátory tím, že splynou s okolím. Barva srsti divokých prasat kolísá od černé přes rudohnědou, rezavě hnědou až po hnědožlutou.
