My six year old Ronin, named lizardy, Fluffy. Fluffy is a Chinese Water Dragon. He is about four years old. He is beautiful, very nice, and never bites. It’s really cool to watch him eat giant super worms and he loves to splash around in his bath. He can run and swim very fast. In the wild he hides up in trees and when a predator flies overhead, he darts into the water and swims away. He is loved by his family, Jesse, Jalena, Drake (8), Ronin (6) and Lejin (4) and other family and friends.

ZOO NEWS HOPE FOR THE RED WOLVES by Dustin Hermann NEW Zoo Educator North America is home to two species of wolves; the gray and the red. The red wolf is one of the world’s most endangered wild canids. Once common throughout the southeastern United States, red wolf populations were decimated by the 1960’s due to intensive predator control programs and loss of habitat. Red wolves are social animals that live in packs consisting of a breeding adult pair and their offspring of different years, typically five to eight animals in total. They prey on a variety of wild mammals, such as raccoon, rabbit, white-tailed deer, nutria, and other rodents. Most active at dusk and dawn, red wolves are elusive and generally avoid humans and human activity
to remove remaining red wolves from the wild in an effort to save the species from extinction. Over a period of six years, more than 400 wolf-like canids were captured in Louisiana and Texas, but of this number, only 43 were considered to be purebred red wolves and were therefore placed in captivity. Further breeding experiments and blood tests revealed that only 17 of those 43 were true red wolves. (The other individuals were determined to be other species of canine – OR they were the result of red wolves that had bred with other species, such as coyotes. This means they were not purebred red wolves, but instead “hybrid” animals.) Only 14 of these original 17 animals successfully bred in captivity. By 1980, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service declared red wolves extinct in the wild, or “extirpated.” All remaining individuals left in the population were in captivity.
After being declared an endangered species in 1973, efforts were initiated to locate and capture as many wild red wolves as possible. The U.S. Fish By 1987, enough red wolves and Wildlife Service established had finally been bred in captivity a captive breeding program for to begin a restoration program. the red wolf and biologists began Today, an estimated 90 to 110 Save this ad.

red wolves roam the wilds of northeastern North Carolina, and another 178 comprise the captive breeding program, still an essential element of red wolf recovery. Interbreeding with coyotes has been recognized as the most significant and detrimental threat affecting recovery of red wolves in their native habitat. Currently, adaptive management efforts are making good progress in reducing the threat of coyotes while building the wild red wolf population.
(pronounced MY-oh) was born on May 5th of 2009 and arrived here in October of 2013. Tamaska was born April 30 of 2006 and came to live at the zoo in December of 2012. Both wolves have had litters with previous mates, so we are confident in the parenting abilities. The newborn pups will likely stay with their parents for at least their first year, or until the SSP (Species Survival Plan) makes recommendations for their new homes to help further propagate their species. We are hopeful that by July, the pup will start coming out of their den box to explore their exhibit. Be sure to stop by to view these very adorable, very important new additions to the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park family.
The red wolves at the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park recently did their part to help their struggling species survive: it was discovered on May 22nd that they became the proud parents of six newborn puppies!

ASK SCRAPPY! by Scrappy, Pet Journal Columnist and Mascot askcrappy@petjournalmidwest.com Happy June everyone! I hope everyone is out having a funky summer so far. There is so much to do and you have to pack it all into a few months while Wisconsin is safe to be outside without a parka. So, enjoy it while it’s here. I mean every moment you’re not slaving at a job, you should be outside. If you haven’t made exact plans, just go outside and run around your yard. That’s what we dogs do. Run up and down the street offering a cheerful “howdy” to everyone you see, chase a squirrel, menace that snotty poodle on the next block, eat some grass. Wait; hold on, I’m still thinking dog here. I really don’t know what you humans do for fun, but whatever it is, get outside and do it. Don’t stop until you’re absolutely exhausted. I mean it! Cause, if while I’m out casing the neighborhood and I see any of you in your house looking out the window or watching any of those abysmal reality show (you know the one I’m thinking about. Here’s a hint, she just pupped and her initials are KK), I’m calling the police K-9 unit to write you a ticket or something. At the very least give you a few frothing hostile barks. Remember, those
are German Shepherds and, trust me, they don’t mess around. Hmmm, what else…oh yeah, I have to go see the vet. My family is concerned about a skin tag I have on my side. Hey, I don’t complain when I see those things hanging off of you people. Not like I run up and say “hey,been sitting too close to the microwave, huh? Are you sprouting another arm or maybe a tentacle?” No, I don’t! I have manners. When it’s on you, it’s nothing to worry about. When it’s on me, it’s a portent of dooooom. You’re planning the funeral and asking where in the backyard I want to be buried. You have the mortician on speed dial and wondering how much rouge to put on my cheeks so I can look to so natural and peaceful. Well, forget it! Read my muzzle, No Rogue! Just a little foundation, lip color and liner, something tasteful that’ll go with my fur, and then toss me in a box and plant me. And don’t let Misty touch me! I want to look dignified, not like Lady Gaga. Though she and I do have some things in common, we’re both hounds. Yow, zing!! I may not be a kitty, but this puppy’s got claws. Likes to scratch.

THIS HOLIDAY, REMEMBER TO GET YOUR FIREWOOD WHERE YOU BURN IT from WI DNR, reprinted with permission MADISON - State forest health specialists remind campers and travelers that firewood can carry harmful forest insects and diseases. “Insect pests such as emerald ash borer and gypsy moth, and diseases like oak wilt and Dutch elm disease spread to new areas easily while hidden in firewood,” said Colleen Robinson Klug, DNR forest health educator. “These invasive species have already killed millions of trees in Wisconsin.”
The only exception is firewood Certified by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (datcp.wi.gov/Plants/Firewood/ Firewood_Dealer_Certification/). Certified wood is free to move around the state because it is also free of invasive pests and diseases that harm our trees. Certified wood will either have a label like the one in the photo, or will just have the DATCP certified vendor number. A list of certified dealers and their ID numbers is available online at emeraldashborer.wi.gov under “Firewood Regulations”.

She has had a very leisurely type of life... has never been saddle trained... to our knowledge... however she is so far very accepting of a saddle and is well started. She was a pasture ornament... (a very beautiful one at that!) her whole life with the same owner. The owners moved cross country and could not take her with them. She is sound, healthy and moves like a horse half her age!! She stands about 14.1 hh and is a very lovely and elegant Polish Arab. Scooter spent all her years with a gelding who recently passed... so she is very used to and desires to be with at least one other horse.

PETS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT AREA RESCUES AND SHELTERS Hi, my name is Hank. I am an adult Catahoula Leopard dog mix. I started off pretty scared and shy, but now that I’m getting use to my new environment, I am becoming peppier. I cannot wait to attend training classes so that I can learn good doggie manners and meet new dogs and people in a controlled setting. I would be happiest in a home with children 12 years and older and as the only dog. I can’t wait to meet my new forever home! Dane Count Humane Society, www.giveshelter.org
she got from her mom. She is not actively sick but it may affect her immune system later down the line. Also she needs to live alone due to the possibility of spreading it to another bunny. Godiva does need eye drops everyday but she is a very easy patient. Godiva loves her free range play-times and is doing incredibly well with her litter box. Godiva’s foster home is socializing her with kids and other animals and she is doing great with everyone! Please contact K&R Small Animal Sanctuary @ kr_ small_animal_sanctuary@yahoo.com

PRACTICAL PETVET BLOG SQUIRREL! A WILDLIFE RESCUE CASE from petvet1.blogspot.com, reprinted with permission printed September, 2012 A little while back, my clinic got a call from a concerned citizen regarding a grey squirrel. This little squirrel kept following the female caller into her house! Every time the woman returned the young squirrel outside, he’d scurry right back into the house after her. Was he sick? Was he hungry? Or worse, did he think she was his mother?! The beleaguered squirrel lady offered the little guy some food and drink based on her internet research of what would acceptable for a squirrel.

more harm than good for the young hungry animal. Please see below.) Next she attempted to locate a local licensed wildlife rehabilitator. By the wonders of Google and S.E.O., her search led her to St. Bernard’s Animal Medical Center, not a licensed wildlife rehabilitation center, but a reasonable starting place for a citizen with a sick or injured wild animal. According to Wisconsin state law, general practice veterinarians such as myself are allowed to provide emergency care for wildlife species, but within 24 hours of rescue the animal must be transferred to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. Working with Aves Wildlife Alliance, CVT and licensed rehabilitator Tim Kneeland and I assessed the juvenile squirrel when it arrived at the clinic.
a baby? All too commonly a well-meaning person will find a young animal alone and incorrectly assume that is has been orphaned and requires human care. Please refer to the Wisconsin DNR website for information on “orphaned” wildlife. Not only is it illegal in many parts of the world to care for wildlife without a permit, but such interactions can also cause harm to the animal as well as humans and domestic animals.
Although mildly dehydrated, hungry and ridden with fleas, the little squirrel appeared to be in pretty good shape.

This little squirrel was crawling with fleas, and fleas are not particularly picky about their furry mammal hosts. The woman whose home was invaded numerous times by this persistent young creature needed to treat her dog and clean her home due to the flea exposure. Wild animals can carry far worse parasites and diseases than fleas, so when in doubt a hands-off approach is the safest. Albeit adorable, the juvenile squirrel caused quite a commotion following his odd decision to buddy up with a human. Fortunately for him, the human he chose knew enough to seek immediate professional assistance for his care. There are many resources out there regarding wildlife rescue on the World Wide Web.

GROOMING YOUR PET
THE PAINFUL TRUTH OF â&#x20AC;&#x153;MATTINGâ&#x20AC;? by Rita Day, Pet Journal Columnist rday@petjournalmidwest.com â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mattingâ&#x20AC;? refers to densely tangled clumps of fur in a pets coat.

AQUATIC LIFE WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, & MINNESOTA LAUNCH CAMPAIGN TO PREVENT SPREAD OF INVASIVE SPECIES from WI DNR, reprinted with permission
MADISON - Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota share many of the same boaters and anglers - now they’re sharing the same message to help protect their iconic waters from aquatic invasive species such as Eurasian water-milfoil, zebra mussels and spiny water fleas. The states are teaming up on a new public service campaign to help carry a consistent message encouraging boaters and anglers to take steps to avoid accidentally spreading zebra mussels, spiny water fleas and other invasive aquatic species when they travel among states. A 30-second television spot began airing May 19 on fishing shows across the region. The spot is available on WIDNRTV, Wisconsin’s YouTube channel, and on Minnesota DNR, and also is embedded on the agencies’ web pages and shared by a network of partner groups across the states. “We share a common goal of stopping aquatic hitchhikers to keep our Great Lakes and our inland waters healthy,” says Department of Natural Resources Secretary Cathy Stepp. “By pooling our resources we can help reach more people with an important reminder as they travel back and forth.” Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Landwehr says the Minnesota DNR “welcomes every opportunity to work with other states on AIS prevention measures and this multi-
state production is a fitting example. It offers a consistent message and a coordinated approach to effectively address the tough issue of AIS.” Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Director Dan Wyant invites partner organizations and individuals to share the video to spread awareness. “We encourage boaters to take action by cleaning understand local AIS laws wherever equipment to prevent the spread of they travel. invasive species in our states.” “The prevention requirements are Wisconsin and other Great Lakes slightly different across the three states have been increasingly trying states, and the AIS laws for each to work across the region to meet state are available online.” the challenges of invasive species, nonnative species that can cause • Wisconsin’s prevention rules environmental or economic harm or dnr.wi.gov/topic/invasives/ harm to human health.

CATS INTERNATIONAL SLEEPS & NAPS: FELINE STYLE from catsinternational.org reprinted with permission Cats are the world’s best sleepers. They slumber away about 60% of their lives–16 hours out of 24. At this rate a nine-year old cat has been awake for only about three years! Since cats are so efficient at obtaining their protein-rich food, they have plenty of time to rest up for the next hunting trip (or visit to the kitchen). A typical feline day includes over fifteen hours of sleeping, and dozing, four to six hours of grooming and playing, with hunting, eating and exploring making up the rest of the day.
appears to be dreaming (twitching and quivering). After the deep sleep, the adult cat then returns to another bout of thirty minutes of light sleep until he eventually wakes up. When choosing a site for your cat’s bed, keep in mind the feline need for warmth and security (high and protected). It has been observed that the temperature of the room is a determining factor in the sleeping cat’s body position. At less than 55 degrees F., the cat is curled up with his head tucked into his body. As the temperature increases, the cat’s sleeping position opens up. At over 70 degrees F., the cat is uncurled with paws out in front. Upon waking, the supple cat usually takes a few minutes to stretch and restore his circulation. A yawn or two later, a quick face wash, and watch out!–he’s ready for action.
There are three types of adult feline sleep: the brief nap, the longer light sleep, and the deep sleep. A napping cat is on “radar patrol”, scanning the environment for any small sound. The periods of light sleep and deep sleep alternate. When Kitty settles down for more than a brief nap, the phase of light sleep lasts for about a half Editors Note: Cats International hour. Then, for six to seven minutes, he experiences deep sleep. At this was founded by Betsy Liscomb, point the cat’s body relaxes and he a cat behavioral expert. If you

RUFFED GROUSE SURVEY INDICATES MINOR POPULATION DECLINE from WI DNR, reprinted with permission MADISON - Ruffed grouse populations in Wisconsin have shown another slight decline this spring, according to a recent roadside ruffed grouse survey. Results from this survey help DNR biologists monitor the cyclic population trends of ruffed grouse in the state. “The index that Wisconsin uses to track ruffed grouse decreased 1 percent between 2013 and 2014,” said Brian Dhuey, DNR wildlife surveys coordinator. “This decrease is quite minor, and isn’t unexpected at this point in the population cycle. Ruffed grouse populations are known to rise and fall over a nine to 11 year cycle. The last peak in Wisconsin’s cycle occurred in 2011. We are headed to the low point in the cycle, which usually occurs in years ending in a 4, 5, or 6, so we are either at the low point or getting close; only time will tell.” Roadside surveys to monitor the number of breeding grouse have been conducted by staff from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Forest Service, tribal groups and numerous grouse enthusiasts and volunteers since 1964. Surveyors begin 30 minutes before sunrise and drive along
established routes, making 10 stops at assigned points and listening for four minutes for the distinctive “thump, thump, thump” sound made by drumming male grouse. The number of drums heard per stop in 2014 was down 1 percent statewide from the previous year. One of the primary regions for grouse in the state, the central region, showed a 24 percent drop in the number of drums heard per stop. A second primary region in northern Wisconsin showed a 3 percent increase. According to Scott Walter, DNR upland wildlife ecologist, maturation of southern Wisconsin’s forest community in recent decades and the resulting loss of dense, brushy areas that grouse need for cover has led to a lower ruffed grouse population. “Ruffed grouse are closely linked to young forest habitats that develop following disturbances, notably logging activities,” Walter said. “While we often focus as hunters on grouse numbers in a single year, it’s important to remember that the long-term health of grouse and other early-successional wildlife is dependent upon the availability of

the dense young cover they require. In Wisconsin, we need to ensure that enough timber harvests are occurring to meet the habitat needs of ruffed grouse and other earlysuccessional dependent wildlife” In regard to the slight increase in northern Wisconsin, Gary Zimmer, coordinating biologist for the Ruffed Grouse Society, points to this past winter’s harsh weather. “While cold temperatures and deep snow are generally hard on resident wildlife populations, ruffed grouse often thrive in winters like the one we just experienced,” noted Zimmer. “Grouse roost under the snow, which can effectively serve as a blanket to hide them from predators’ view and keep them warm even during very cold periods. It might be well below zero out in the open, but under even a few inches of snow the temperature might only be a few degrees below freezing. Grouse also utilize tree buds as food during winter, so snow cover doesn’t reduce food availability.” Zimmer continues, “Weather conditions, especially during the brood rearing period in late May and early June, also play an important role in the fall ruffed grouse numbers. Newly-hatched grouse chicks are very sensitive to chilling, and warm, dry conditions allow high survival during the first few weeks of life.” “Grouse hunters are used to
the cyclic nature of ruffed grouse populations, and know that during low periods grouse can still be found in the best cover. Hunters might have to work a bit harder to flush birds, but sunny October days with your dog in the north woods are tough to beat, and Wisconsin still has some of the best grouse hunting in the country,” Zimmer said. Complete survey results can be found by visiting dnr.wi.gov and searching for “wildlife reports.” For more information on ruffed grouse in Wisconsin, search “ruffed grouse hunting.” For more information contact: Scott Walter, upland wildlife ecologist, 608-267-7861 or Brian Dhuey, wildlife surveys coordinator, 608-221-6342.
