important role in conservation biology. However it is not perfect tool since it has drawbacks in breeding rate, inbreeding, lost of gene variation, surplus animals, adaptation captivity,etc. a. Breeding rate Not all species breed well in captivity. Most species that easily breed in captivity has the same management requirements with domestic animals or considerable experience. Poor reproduction in captivity is often due to behavior problems caused by inadequate husbandry technique. Under different conditions
are in the preoperational stage, which means they are dominated by what is perceptually salient. They can think about what they see and hear, but they cannot think much behind what they do not see and do not hear. Because of the life experience limitation, they cannot justify the violence is wrong and they will imitate these violent
Introduction Outdoor enclosures for captive primates have become increasingly more common over the last 20 years, these more natural enclosures have been shown to significantly increase the behaviours observed by apes in captivity. These environments can stimulate more social and cognitive behaviour as well as allowing more physical activity (Hebert and Bard, 2002). For arboreal species such as Sumatran orangutans (Pongo abelii) and White-handed gibbons (Hylobates lar) there is a need for a complex
Protection of Wild Animals: Problems and Prospects Chapter-I: Introduction Mahatma Gandhi has said, “Greatness of Nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” India is fascinating country. Not only it is home to the largest number of languages, religions and cultures, it also supports some of the richest biodiversity areas in the world. The reason might be due to the tolerance Indians show for other life forms. It is evident in the way animals, domestic or wild, are positively incorporated
In this case, one of Taiwan’s biggest limitation is its lack of transportation. Although there are a variety of transportations such as the metro system (MRT) available to main cities such as Taipei at a low cost and is highly convenient, however, there is simply no public transportation going
