  Labocania anomala
Posted by: DinoFan83 - 01-30-2021, 06:40 PM - Forum: Dinosaurs - No Replies
Labocania was a species of carnivorous theropod, previously considered a tyrannosauroid or abelisaurid but almost certainly a carcharodontosaurid.
Labocania anomala, the type species, was described and named by Ralph Molnar in 1974. The generic name references the La Bocana Roja locality where it was found, named after la Bocana Roja, "the red estuary". The species name means "anomalous" in Latin, in reference to the distinctive and very robust build.
The holotype (LACM 20877) was found in a layer of the La Bocana Roja Formation, dating from the late Campanian of the late Cretaceous period about 73 million years old. It consists of a very fragmentary skeleton with skull elements, including a right quadrate, a left frontal, a piece of the left maxilla, a fragment of the dentarium, a chevrom, the upper parts of both ischia, the middle shaft of the right pubis, most of the second right metatarsal, a pedal phalanx and several loose teeth. The elements were not articulated, dispersed over a surface of about two square metres, and strongly weathered. The remains were mixed with the ribs of hadrosauroids.
Although it is not very complete, Labocania was probably an extremely large theropod, despite popular estimates not implying this. Gregory S. Paul estimated it at 7 meters and 1500 kg in 2010, while Ruben Molina-Pérez and Asier Larramendi gave a higher estimation of 8.2 meters and 2600 kg in 2016, with both estimates made under the assumption that it was a tyrannosauroid.
However, because Labocania looks to have been a carcharodontosaurid instead of a tyrannosauroid, it would almost certainly have been far larger (and in fact one of the largest known land predators of all), with a skull size estimate restored as such equaling or exceeding in size the skull of the giant Carcharodontosaurus specimen SGM-DIN 1 (itself estimated at 13-13.7 meters and 9000-9800 kg). An estimate based on the fairly complete carcharodontosaurid Acrocanthosaurus also supports a gigantic size, at 12.9 meters and 9500 kg.
The cranial elements are very robust, and the frontals in particular are strongly thickened. The teeth of the maxilla are gradually recurving and rather flat (just like those of carcharodontosaurids) and those of the premaxilla do not have a D-shaped cross-section, unlike tyrannosaurids.
Given how fragmented known specimens are, the affinities have been hard to establish before the animal was placed in phylogenetic analyses by experts. Molnar especially compared Labocania with the carcharodontosaurid Shaochilong (then known as "Chilantaisaurus" maortuensis and thought to be a basal tyrannosauroid at the time), and found the two to be rather similar.
Additionally, similarity between Labocania and tyrannosaurids was found in the form of the ischium which features a low triangular obturator process and a circular lateral scar on the upper end. These features, however, are also known in both species of Giganotosaurus, further supporting Labocania as a carcharodontosaurid. 
Labocania did not end up assigned to any family in the original description, placed as Theropoda incertae sedis. Based on further comparisons with Shaochilong under the old assumption that the latter was a tyrannosauroid, Labocania was considered as a possible tyrannosauroid in the 2004 edition of The Dinosauria by Thomas Holtz, but now that it is known what Shaochilong is, these comparisons support carcharodontosaurid affinities for Labocania.
However, even in 2004, Holtz pointed out that the similarities with the Tyrannosauridae were shared with the Coelurosauria in general—no tyrannosauroid synapomorphies were present—and that Labocania also showed some abelisaurid traits such as the thick frontals and a reclining quadrate. On the other hand, the L-shaped chevron and the flattened outer side of the second metatarsal indicated a position in the Tetanurae. 
Later phylogenetic analyses by experts Mickey Mortimer and Andrea Cau have yielded strong support carcharodontosaurid Labocania, in a very close position to Shaochilong.
The recognition of Labocania as a carcharodontosaurid indicates, contrary to popular belief, that allosauroids neither died out in the Cenomanian-Turonian extinction event nor were outcompeted by tyrannosauroids. They would instead have survived to at least the latest Campanian - therefore it being within the realm of possibility that some allosauroids lived to see the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs - and most certainly would not have been outcompeted by tyrannosauroids, instead very likely being ecologically dominant over them in at least Labocania's case.

  Deltadromeus agilis
Posted by: DinoFan83 - 01-28-2021, 12:33 AM - Forum: Dinosaurs - Replies (1)
Deltadromeus is a genus of gigantic theropod dinosaur from the mid-Cretaceous period of what is now Morocco, coexisting with the famous giant theropods Carcharodontosaurus and Spinosaurus among other animals. Its describers have suggested it was a fast running species because of the holotype's long and unusually slender hind limbs, and an evaluation by Persons & Currie (2016) corroborated this, with the holotype found to have 7.5% more cursorial capability than the mean theropod in the study's sample.
One fossil specimen of a single species (D. agilis, or "agile delta runner") has been described, found in the Kem Kem beds, which date to the mid Cenomanian age, about 95 million years ago. Some authors consider the animal to be a synonym of the contemporary and possible close relative Bahariasaurus ingens, but a detailed analysis by Mickey Mortimer at the Theropod Database suggests the 2 animals are distinct.
The juvenile holotype (SGM-DIN 2) described in Sereno et al. (1996) has been estimated at 9 meters in length, and could weigh around 1890 kg based on isometric scaling from the likely related and similarly built basal tyrannosauroid Guanlong. Much larger specimens (which may or may not be adults) are known however, namely a lost 1.22 meter femur 64.9% larger than that of the holotype mentioned in Ibrahim et al. (2020) that may indicate a size of 14.8 meters and 8480 kg. This is almost 2500 kg heavier than an adult Tyrannosaurus rex and approaching modern size estimates for Carcharodontosaurus and Spinosaurus, meaning Deltadromeus was almost certainly one of history's largest known land predators.
From what is preserved in the holotype, it can be inferred that Deltadromeus had long arms, a long neck, and an overall slender build as well as its long legs, but because the holotype is missing many diagnostic bones such as the skull, its phylogenetic position is not entirely certain. Different analyses have recovered it as a ceratosaur, an allosauroid, a basal coelurosaur, or a basal tyrannosauroid, with the most comprehensive so far (Motta et al. 2016) favoring the fourth position.

Eremite Skaut Magazine is publishing papers concerning ecological footprint network and natural resource management deals with managing the way in which people and natural landscapes interact in nowadays or 2000s millenials. It brings together land use planning, water management, biodiversity conservation, and the future sustainability of industries like agriculture, mining, tourism, fisheries and forestry. It recognises that people and their livelihoods rely on the health and productivity of our landscapes, and their actions as stewards of the land play a critical role in maintaining this health and productivity.<based on wikipedia>It is short review of hermetic knowledge, which suit into material world and in our transparent life. We review the job of The League ECL and En-He Efforts from 2009 up to 2015. Natural resources managemet is initiative of professionals, concerning for manufactured countertop from quartzite and for quest of holy grail of zoology from wild yarkand and gansu, namely wetland megafauna, and a bit smaller unknown quadrupeds. We should live, but we live with the stigma which marked us strongly by past events. Forget the mistake, remember the lesson. Stay kind and ethical. Iron rules is what make us more attentive in life. What about zolwie eosj', which are relic forms of reptiles and ksy-gyik, relatively unique primate species, which are really two species, the first one inhabits the middle of Tarbagatai Wildlands and the second one occur in the Zaisan Wetlands Ecosystem. The first one is mountain ksy-gyik Rhinopithecus sp. nov montagni. Physical Description which has large head with pointed ears, dark greish-navy ointment with salmon coloured strip across it's back. It is relative medium-size being. Geographic Range is things about living high in the montagne within interior. Habitat about living in temperate broad leaf and conifer forests. Reproduction is poorly discovered. Little is discovered about it's diet and foods habit, but this living being is is a largely arboreal species.Behavior is about species,which is relative nomad. The typical home range for the species is apprx. 8 to 23 square kilometers. Species is criticall endangered accordning to IUCN red list. Tribe of life of wetland ksy-gyik, Rhinopithecus sp. nov balkhashi is still undiscovered. Species is living around swamps and meadows of Lake Balkhash. It is smaller species with brownish coat and pointed ears. Species is critically endangered according to IUCN red list. . Orvuc is small bear-like wild dog Cuon orvuc, it is genre of wild species and it is in size of small badger. Nothing is known about this critically rare endemic dwarf species living across refugium region. What about enigmatic alyn kajik gene of turquoise marten Martes turquise and large beige&patine-furred gigantic hare, Lepus alynkajiki which should be discovered as another species of unique leporid.Turquise marten, Martes turquise is relatively large species of mustelid occured across wild Central Asia. It is endemic genre and it's perheps relic of pleistocene. In nowadays is on the last legs and we are engaged in conservation efforts to save this species in famous Alyn-kajik both with Erick Uragch, renowed conservationist. it is lited in ADW, the animal diversity web, and natureID and EOL.org. The species was recorded and evidenced in 1965 by renowed explorer Joseph Baluta, and in 2014 by field explorers from Centre for Natural Resources and Applied Ecology<sweden> and there are docs via short reports, e.g. flash records by camera traps in wild Yanchq-Alai, and Zaymqch-Shan, but poorly is understanding about this species. Martes turquise marten are, on average, larger than females, with a body length around 1750 mm and a body weight of 8200 to 12000 grams. Poorly is known about behavioral ecology, mainly being daily species. Turquise marten prefer coniferous forest and rocky regions. It is arboreal species, but often occured among stones. Turquise martens are agile and speedy tree climbers, but they usually move on the ground. This carnivore mammal feed mainly on rodents and invertebrates, and this is untruth that attacking humans. Lepus alynkajiki is largest species of lagomorph and is survivor of pleistocene in mountainous regions of Central Asia, sharing ranges similar with turquise marten. It feed by green grass and herbs of yet unknown species. Conservation efforts is not yet developed, but the species is really threatened by habitat loss and fatal diseases. Lepus alynkajiki was firstly described by Norman Xiamgoc in 1956, and later in 1972 described by veteran conservationist Joseph Baluta, from Alyn-Kajik, but actually is restrict native to few mountainus regions, by isolation, namely Ueayk-Vajik, Zarevshan and Yarkand Creek. It is terrestrial species with relatively short ears, rounded head and gray-patine fur skin. It is relatively enormous species, with average body lenghts around 1240 mm. There is no noted sexual dimorphism. Range mass is from 12 to 15 kg. Giant hares are herbivorous. Those lagomorphs are usually quiet animals. They make low grunts and grind their teeth when alarm call. There is little evidence to suggest that L. europaeus stays within a restricted home range. Giant Alyn Hares are mainly solitary animals except during mating season. They are crepuscular and nocturnal, mostly foraging at night (between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.). Nothing is known about reproduction. Physical description and habitat was discussed a lot during scientific expedition. Lepus alynkajiki is native species to Central Asia and is pleistocene relic of megafauna. The League ECL and Inhabitants Corporation take initiaitve for wild flora and fauna is under the conservation efforts program, and the species is under the monitoring field work. What more about those species and other, for more see, explore the alyn-kajik. We have of course unique large areas with full of flora and untouched forests, which are desire for natural resources exploration programme. Orphantage exploration and the data for studies in depth, renegade but renowed scientist, working as incognito who take the non-invasive monitoring in field cross borders from natural environment of central asia and chinese orient. The tribe life of endemic amphibians and lizards and other species are largery undiscovered. There is polish project namely, ekologia stosowana jaszczurki kalynskiej, based from The League ECL, polish branch. Those legandary species is known only from three skins and DNA biological samples. There is fragmentary records of undiscovered freshwater snails and armored fishes.Dwarf species of balkhash phoca, is recorded in the region. It is relic species endemic to balkhash wetlands. There are records of troglodites, primitive human populations, which can be hybrids of denisovians. They live in primitive conditions, but those records does not yzet proven. Acheivements of conservation efforts and zoological expedition is on the stage. Turkestanian salamander Hynobius turkestanicus is according to authorities unique species, recorded previously only from fragmentary note.Taxonomic notes: the species is known only by the type series collected at the beginning of the 20th century. The species onced found in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Several specimens were collected in 1909, but since then the species has not been seen in the wild. None remain in captivity. The Turkestanian salamander is currently on the list of the 10 Most Wanted Amphibians, a rediscovery effort launched by Conservation International. The League ECL and EN-He Efforts are interested in quest for this unique amphibian. Adventures are an indispensable element of each from field trips in the mountains of Central Asia. In fact, each day of such expeditions brought new impressions, both those related to the discovery of floristic species, their communities, amazing landscapes, such as those associated with ordinary everyday life, observation the inhabitants' lives, carried out conversations, a journey that you can talk about for a long time.30% of vascular plants known from Tajikistan are generally recognized as national endemics.The richest in terms of the number of endemic species of flora are the western parts of the Zerawszański Mountains (409 taxons) and the Gissar Mountains (402 taxons), located in western Tajikistan. < based on work polish botanist Arkady Nowak, 2012.> We limit ourselves only to give here about their distribution range, physical appearance and behavior of this truly species seems to be beings as holy grail of zoology.

The management of natural resources concerns the management of the interaction of people and natural wild. It brings together all the planet resources and human-oriented industries such as forestry, tourism, agriculture, stone mining and resource exploration for profit making into human sustainable living and growth of civilitaions for building in according to me more intelligent regions and locally for talent building. Quality of persistence of forest resources is realized throughout by managing by the provising timber for growth of alyn kajik civilization, for long term sustainability of forest ecosystem and management of wildlife habitat with landscape protection. This industry is associated for resources for human and environmental benefits concerning employment, Important is monitoring the erosion control, water quality and preserving forest for atmoshperic health. Agriculture was the key development for Alyn Kajik. The rise of sedentary human civilization across region of Alyn kajik was chance for further sustainability. The history of agriculture began plethora of years ago. Natural and cultural heritage of region is key aspect for sustainable tourism. Sustainable tourism across Alyn Kajik is the concept of visiting that grounds as a tourist and trying to make a positive impact on the environment, society, and economy. Alyn Kajik Conservation Partnership Fund comprise and identifying ecosystems at risk, wildlife in peril, universal conservation of nature, responsible industry and tech, sustainable living, livelihoods and many more.There is records of giant salmons Hucho sp. undisc. and other fish species, inc. endemic dwarf sturgeon Acipenser sp. nov. Endemic long-tailed pheasant was recorded here from Ueayk-vajik. and this good flyer is currently extinct by locals. Salamander of Alyn-Kajik Salamandra aevdi is recorded previously, and some flash notes onto applied ecology of species was noted. Fishes and sustainable management of flora and fauna are on stage in the region of Central Asia, as well. Little was done for conservation of endemic populations of troglodites, which are in fact isolated colonies of Homo sapiens. Life hotspots are misunderstunding in the region, and nothing was done decade ago for improve the sustainable growth and tech for life and civilization.

The Cerrado


*This image is copyright of its original author


Cerrado is host to over 10,000 species of plants, 45 percent of which are unique to the Cerrado, making it one of the world's most biologically abundant tropical savannas. Located in the Brazilian central plateau covering more than 700,000 square miles, or 22 percent of Brazil, the Cerrado is rolling terrain with deep sandy soils of low fertility. Rainfall is heavy in the summer (November to March), while there is little precipitation the rest of the year. Vegetation consists of grasses, low bushes, and scattered trees. Cerrado has supported a cattle industry since the seventeenth century and is now the most important ranching region of Brazil. It also hosts vast soybean agribusinesses. However, ranching and farming have taken their toll on the Cerrado, contributing to the environmental degradation of this largely unprotected area. In 2001, two protected areas of the Cerrado, Chapada dos Veadeiros and Emas National Parks, were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. Encyclopedia

  There is a giant Saltwater Crocodile in Nilwala River named "Tyzon".
Posted by: Viper - 01-19-2021, 01:23 PM - Forum: Aquatic Animals and Amphibians - Replies (2)
"Tyzon" as the locals call him, is a giant Saltwater Crocodile (Saltie) that currently lives in the Nilwala River in Matara, Sri Lanka. I have spoken to locals there and apparently Tyzon is about 16.5 feet long. He is an extremely heavily built male with a huge head and therefore I would estimate his weight at anywhere between 2200-2500 pounds. His head and his teeth are both exceptionally large for his length. From the exceptional size and bulk of his head, I would even venture to guess he may have some Mugger Crocodile genes mixed in him because Salties and Muggers both share Nilwala River and it is not inconceivable that they may occasionally mate with each other. Tyzon is a very impressive looking Saltie.

BTW, Tyzon is not the same as the Saltie that was rescued because it was stuck in a canal (leading to the Nilwala River) in 2016. That Saltie was a bit longer at just over 17 feet long, and a little bit slimmer than Tyzon (although still a bulky Saltie). The rescued Saltie is also lighter in color and has a shy personality, whereas Tyzon is darker in color and has a bold personality.

Here is Tyzon the Saltwater Crocodile:

  The Jaguar in Iberá
Posted by: Balam - 01-17-2021, 09:54 PM - Forum: Jaguar - Replies (19)
Iberá Wetlands

The Iberá Wetlands are a mix of swamps, bogs, stagnant lakes, lagoons, natural slough, and courses of water in the center and center-north of the province of Corrientes, Argentina.

Iberá is one of the most important freshwater reservoirs in South America and the second-largest wetland in the world after Pantanal in Brazil. It is of pluvial origin, with a total area of 15,000–20,000 km2 (5,800–7,700 sq mi).

Since 1982, part of the wetland is included within a provincial protected area, the Iberá Provincial Reserve, which comprises about 13,000 km2 (5,000 sq mi), the largest of such areas in Argentina. There are ongoing plans to further up its protection status to national park.

The Jaguar in Corrientes

The yaguareté, jaguar or tiger (Panthera onca) is the largest felid in America. Historically, it was distributed throughout central and northern Argentina, inhabiting jungles, mountains, grasslands and bathed up to the Negro River in Patagonia.

Unfortunately, during the last centuries this beautiful animal has seen its distribution reduced to a few places in the country. Jaguars were still seen in Corrientes in the middle of the last century and in the Iberá region there are still people who remember when they shared the territory with the great spotted cat. Today in Argentina there are only three separate populations of jaguars in the montane jungles of the Northwest, in some sector of the Gran Chaco and in the missionary jungle. All these populations face the serious danger of disappearing in the coming decades, which would imply the total extinction of one of the most beautiful and emblematic animals in Argentina.

Faced with this situation, the Iberá Natural Reserve in Corrientes stands out for bringing together what may be the best conditions in all of Latin America to restore a disappeared population of this species. This is due to the existence of a 1,300,000 ha protected area that is home to vast areas depopulated by people and livestock, and which also has abundant wild animals that can support a long-term population of jaguars.

Faced with this opportunity, we want to point out five main reasons that justify the return of the species to Corrientes and, more specifically, to the Iberá Natural Reserve:


*This image is copyright of its original author


With an area of 1.3 million hectares, the Iberá Nature Reserve represents a unique opportunity to try to recover this great animal. After two decades of conservation work, this reserve is home to large populations of capybaras, caiman and deer that will need the regulatory role of a large predator to maintain their long-term health. A study by a CONICET researcher shows that within Iberá there would be an area of nearly 650,000 hectares where jaguars could live with abundant food and minimal contact with humans and their livestock. There are few places in all of America that have so much territory suitable for this species and where it can be.

By Proyecto Iberá

Reintroduction Process & Timeline

In 2015, the Jaguar Reintroduction Center began to operate on the island of San Alonso, in the heart of the Esteros del Iberá. Its objective is to produce jaguars —either born there or coming from the wild from other regions— with the right qualifications needed to be able to be released in Iberá with the goal of forming a healthy population of this species so that it can recover its role as the top predator in this ecosystem.

After evaluating the vast continuous area of habitat that could support about 100 jaguars and conducting social surveys that showed great support across the province for the reintroduction of the jaguar, the construction of the Jaguar Reintroduction Center was carried out in 2013.

In 2015, the first breeding female, Tobuna, arrived, followed by the first male, Nahuel, in 2016. During 2017, a male and two females —Chiqui, Tania and Isis— were donated or given by different institutions in Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil, and they were also incorporated into the project. These animals are not suitable to be released, but the hope is that they will have cubs that will be raised without human contact and who will learn to hunt for themselves so that they can be liberated into the wild of the esteros.

A snapshot from a camera recording of Arami and Mbarete days before their first birthday.

In June 2018, Arami and Mbarate were born —they are the first jaguar cubs to be born in the Reintroduction Center and the first jaguars to be born in Corrientes after half a century of their absence in the province. It is expected that after a phase of adaptation to life in the wild, they will be released in the next years to live free in Iberá, with their movements and locations constantly monitored thanks to satellite radio collars.

Tania, the mother of the cubs, is the daughter of Tobuna and was brought into the breeding program after became apparent that her mother, Tobuna, was not getting pregnant despite several episodes in which she went into heat and copulated with males. Her advanced age of an estimated 17 years is the most likely reason for her inability to become pregnant. A significant fact about Tania is that she lacks a hind foot, which she lost in an accident as a cub. Despite this handicap, the young jaguar quickly learned to hunt for herself in the Jaguar Reintroduction Center and has demonstrated that she is an exceptional mother. The father of the cubs is Chiqui, who was born free and lived in the wild in Paraguay until his mother was killed by poachers at which point he was taken to the Antiguy Animal Refuge.

Jaguar Juruna during her arrival in Corrientes.

In February of 2019, two female jaguars, Juruna and Mariua, arrived at the Jaguar Reintroduction Center. They were born in the wild in Brazil at the beginning of 2017 and then rescued after their mother was killed by hunters. They were taken to the Conservation Refuge ”NEX No Extinction” near Brasilia, where they lived with little contact with humans, until they were donated to the jaguar reintroduction project in Iberá.

After completing his reproductive role at the Jaguar Reintroduction Center, Chiqui, the father of the cubs, was returned to the Atinguy-Yacyretá Animal Refuge in Paraguay in January 2019.

In August 2018, “Jatobazinho” was found north of Corumbá, Brazil. After swimming across the Paraguay River, he sought refuge under an overturned boat near the Jatobazinho Rural School, which gave him his name. When they found him in the Brazilian region of Pantanal, “Jatobazinho” weighed around 35 kilograms, but the work of organizations and governments allowed his recovery.

“It is believed that it was a juvenile who was displaced by other jaguars, was malnourished and it was obvious that it had not eaten for a long time,” said Alicia Delgado, head of Feline Quarantine at CLT Argentina (Conservation Land Trust).

The recovery process began at the Wild Animal Rehabilitation Center (CRAS) in Campo Grande (Brazil), where it was determined that their best destination was reintroduction into the wild. After five months at CRAS, Jatobazinho was transferred to the Caimán Ecological Refuge, where the Onçafari organization continued his recovery, keeping him without human contact and feeding him food and live prey, to facilitate his reintegration into nature.

By Infocampo & Rewilding Argentina

Jatobazinho was released into Ibera in November 2019: 






In December 2020, a second little of cubs were born to Mariua and Jatobazinho:

The certainty of the birth of Karai and Porã, as they were baptized days later by popular vote, was for the moment the last positive news for the recovery of a species whose existence is seriously threatened in Argentina. Children of Mariua and Jatobazinho, two Brazilian specimens that have been in the CRY since last year, the newcomers expand the number of animals considered "liberable" that consolidate the idea of repopulating Iberá with jaguars (jaguars), 70 years after its extinction in the area.





In January 2021 a third litter of cubs from Juruna and Jatobazinho was born, marking the third litter od jaguars born in the area by the reintroduction project





In January 2021 another major milestone took place, Mariua and her cubs Karai and Porã have been released into the wild in the immense grasslands, wetlands and forests of this National Park. For the first time in the world, the jaguar has been reintroduced in a region where it had disappeared. The decision of the national and provincial governments, and the commitment of the proud people of Corrientes has made it possible.

The recovery of Argentine species and environments through Rewilding takes a fundamental step ahead which will show the way for the future of conservation in the country.
