Specie :
The Carnivore Olinguito
Bionomial name : Bassaricyon neblina
Discovered :
15 August 2013 by “Kristofer Helgen”, the curator of mammals at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
Distribution and habitat : Specimens of the species have been identified from the Andean cloud forest stretching from western Colombia to Ecuador.
Weight : 900 Grams, the smallest procyonid.
The animal is an omnivorous frugivore that eats mainly fruits (such as figs), but also insects and nectars resulting in feces the size of small blueberries.
While the olinguito is new to science, it is not a stranger to people. People have been living in or near the olinguito’s cloud forest world for thousands of years.

    The earliest fossil osariid was found in California, the Eotaria crypta was the first and is the oldest sea lion to date and is believed to have lived during the Miocene period in which it was hypothesized for Otariidaes to have risen. This is a recent discovery and filled the millions of years of evolutionary history for the eared seal. When the fossils were discovered in 1980, it was misidentified to be related to the walrus.…

    The Amazon Jungle is the world’s largest tropical rainforest. It is nearly 6 million square kilometers in size and houses the widest variety of plant and animal life than any other place on the planet. It also is home to the second largest river on Earth, the Amazon River. The jungle is mostly in Brazil, but it also spreads to eight neighboring countries in South America; Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guyana. (Webmaster, “Amazon Jungle facts and history in brief”) There are believed to be around 6,000 different species of trees just in the Brazilian region of the Amazon. (Browder 247) Because of the mass amounts of plant…

    The fossa is the largest mammalian carnivore on the island of Madagascar and has been compared to a small cougar. Adults have a head-body length of 70–80 cm (28–31 in) and weigh between 5.5–8.6 kg (12–19 lb), with the males larger than the females. It has semi-retractable claws and flexible ankles that allow it to climb up and down trees head-first, and also support jumping from tree to tree. The fossa is unique within its family for the shape of its genitalia, which share traits with those of cats and hyenas.…

    onca also has a varying diet, perhaps due to the fact that the habitats differ. Most jaguars are solely carnivorous while some will eat grass; avocados have been recorded as an apparent favorite of the species (Seymour 1989). As for the carnivore side of the species, the chief prey is any terrestrial mammal over 1 kg in body mass (Seymour 1989). However, reptiles and birds are also favored (Seymour 1989). Varied examples include: capybaras (Hydrochoerus), pacas (Agouti paca), armadillos (Dasypus), caimans (Caiman), turtles (Podocnemis), opossums (Didelphis), monkeys (Alouatta seniculus, Aotus trivigatus), otters (Lutra), ocelots (Felis pardalis), anteaters (Myrmecophaga, Tamandua), tortoises (Geochelone), storks (Jabiru mycteria), catfish (Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum), sloths (Bradypus, Choloepus), and frogs (Ranidae) (Seymour 1989). P. onca will take down brocket deer and marsh deer, whereas they rarely take deer in general, a contrast to the puma (Seymour 1989). Because the habitats vary, P. onca are opportunistic feeders, especially in rain forests where they catch prey that is easily available and ready (Seymour 1989). This makes their diets dependent on prey density within their respective habitat. Also, it has been observed that individual P. onca can have prey preferences, especially in livestocks of cattle, horses, pigs, or dogs (Seymour…

    The Rainforests of Atsinanana is located on the eastern side of the island of Madagascar. There are six different national parks that are not connected to one another that make up the “Rainforests of Atsinanana”. These rainforests are said to be possibly the most diverse ecosystems in the world. They consist of 2,598 species of animals (from 166 families) and 1,039 plants (from 119 different groups). These national parks also contain more than 1/3 of all mammals found on the island of Madagascar. The biodiversity of this group of forests is what makes the places so unique.…

    I began my travels through the central Amazon forest after my first year of undergraduate studies in San Francisco. The stories that I heard about the isolated tribes of the Green Jungle both fascinated and compelled me to go. After I put my rebellious pug named Charlie after my favorite movie character at my mothers, I drove to the airport. I flew to the remote Brazilian city of Manaus in a two propeller and half operational turn of the century airplane. Once we landed, I met my fellow colleague Ignacio Del Barton, and we headed to the green inferno. After our truck could go no further into the green ravages that is called the lungs of the earth, we began to hike. The amazon is filled with life teeming in every corner and in every niche. Everything…

    I was staying at the Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica; a tropical lodge on the banks of the Madre de Dios River, a tributary of the mighty Amazon. It’s a 40 minute boat ride from the busy town of Puerto Maldonado and a great place for watching wildlife. Even on the way there we saw a caiman (a type of crocodile) basking near the shore and an emerald cloud of parakeets clinging to a muddy salt-lick beside the water. There are 35 comfortable wooden cabins (cabañas) with palm roofs and tiled showers, set in a clearing beside a central lodge/restaurant. It’s the jungle without discomfort. 

For many people, Peru is solely characterised by Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail, but it’s also a superb destination for nature lovers, as the people at Inkaterra realised back in the 1970s when they pioneered eco-aware holidays here. The dense rainforest that etches the north and east of the country is home to an immense variety of plants and animals, ranging from the elusive jaguar to the malevolent sounding strangler fig. The bird life is extraordinary – around 18.5% of all the world’s bird species occur in Peru.
Almost 400 of those species have been found in the pristine expanse of rainforest that Inkaterra lease from the Peruvian government – and consequently protect from major development. They regularly invite biologists to stay, in order to identify and monitor…
