HOW TO: 30 february 2013 BY SCOTT ELDER Serval Rescue Clouded Leopard Rescue Serval Rescue Clouded Leopard Rescue Serval Rescue Clouded Leopard Rescue Serval Rescue Clouded Leopard Rescue Serval Rescue Clouded Leopard Rescue Serval Rescue Clouded Leopard Rescue Serval Rescue Clouded Leopard Rescue Serval Rescue Clouded Leopard Rescue Serval Rescue Clouded Leopard Rescue Serval Rescue Clouded Leopard Rescue Serval Rescue Clouded Leopard Rescue Serval Rescue Clouded Leopard Rescue NatioNal GeoG raphic Ki DS 31 rare species,” vet Panjit Basumatary says. These kittens are actually very uncommon wild cats called clouded leopards. The vets examine the two furry cubs, both male, and estimate they are only a few weeks old. They’re relieved that neither cat has any bad cuts, broken bones, or obvious illnesses, but because both kittens weigh in at less than a kilogram, the vets fear that they’re dangerously underfed and dehydrated. To replace the milk their mother would give them, the vets try hand-feeding the cubs cow’s milk using baby bottles. If the leopard cubs don’t accept this artificial diet, they won’t survive. Fortunately, both patients eat well. A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE Now that the brothers’ health seems stable, the vets and wildlife experts at WTI and its partner organization, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), must decide the cubs’ future. Unlike common leopards, clouded leopards are too small to be threats to humans or livestock, so they can be released. But without the care and protection of their mother, who was almost certainly killed by a poacher, the cubs won’t stand a chance. Although WTI and IFAW have successfully hand raised and released young elephants and black bears, no one has ever attempted to do so Q uietly, a man spreads the word that he has valuable goods for sale. He tries to keep it a secret from the authorities who govern his forest village, because it’s illegal to possess the merchandise: two tiny, wild leopard cubs. But the first people to arrive at his home aren’t interested in buying exotic pets. Acting on a citizen’s tip, they are forest rangers who police this area in northeast India, called Kokrajhar. Busted, the surprised villager hands over the helpless leopard kittens, so young they haven’t even opened their eyes. The rangers alert the nearby wildlife clinic – operated by the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) – that two common leopard cubs are arriving for emergency care. Although the veterinarians are thrilled that the rangers rescued the kittens, their satisfaction is bittersweet. The common leopard is a powerful big cat that often comes into conflict with humans in India, so releases of this species are currently banned in that country. NOT COMMON AT ALL When the cubs arrive, however, the vets are amazed by the strange blotchy pattern on their coats, which looks like brown and black clouds. Common leopards would be covered with spots. “The rangers don’t realise they have rescued a very Orphan cubs learn how to live in the wild. © IFAW / WTI / A.

Turn to page 30 for the finalists and page 35 for the winner of the Young Photographers Competition. Cape Town now has a cycle lane painted thickly in green paint. The colour is practical as it stands apart from the grey of the road but it also sends a great message. After all, it’s the green way to get about town. The more people cycle, the safer it will become as other road users become more aware of people on two wheels. Once a month, in Johannesburg, Cape Town and up to 300 other cities around the world, groups of cyclists get together for an easy cycle about town as a group.The one I did in Cape Town was 12 kilometres, which was a lot of fun and more my style than the main event on the calendar for serious cyclists. The Cape Town Argus Cycle Tour is a 110-kilometre race coming up on 10 March and I’ll be there to support, if not to race. If you are doing the Argus this year, I’d love to hear how it goes. Please send me your pictures. If you are under the age of 12, you can still take part. The Trike tour is for youngsters up to the age of six and the Junior tour for kids up to age 12 years. SUBSCRIBERS OF THE MONTH March’s subscribers of the month are Anne Moxham from Sezela in KwaZulu-Natal and Margo De Bruin from Pretoria. They’ve each won* a cool pair of sunglasses from the Little Greens range and valued at R699. Little ones’ eyes are precious and need extra-special care and now stylish kids can also look cool. The Little Greens range, the latest from South African designer David Green, will make any kid jump with joy! Made of a cotton-based acetate, which is tough enough to survive the most active childhood, the Little Greens range is cute, comfortable and offers affordable style.

The creature waddled past Annette and had a friendly nose-to-nose sniff with her dog. It then shuffled to the enclosed porch, pulled itself onto the sofa and curled up for a nap. As the seal rested, Annette called to alert officials about her flippered guest. “Many fur seals come into town from the nearby harbour,” says Chris Clark of the New Zealand Department of Conservation. “Often they’re just looking for company.” Annette thinks the seal followed her cat into the house. She didn’t mind hosting the uninvited guest until Chris could fetch it. “The seal was funny,” she says. “I just wish it had knocked first!” ON SE A L SNOOZES SOFA THE SEAL GETS COMFY. © Tui De Roy / MinDen PicTuRes (fuR seal, big); © D.

But when he was playing with his plush beaver toy, he was truly adorable. “He’d make a fuss if you ever moved it,” says zoo keeper Michelle Schireman, who used to take care of Aldo. The orphaned cub was brought to the zoo after being found alone in the woods. Soon the exhausted and hungry bear was healthy again and very energetic. “He played with every object in sight, including my shoes,” Michelle says. “We decided to get him his own toy.” The cub immediately bonded with the fluffy beaver. He loved belly-flopping on to the stuffed animal and wrestling playfully with it. He’d drag the soft toy around and nuzzle it before going to sleep. “Like people, bear cubs can feel comforted by warm and fuzzy things, including stuffed animals,” says Carmen Murach, an animal curator at the zoo Aldo was moved to. Aldo is older now and has outgrown his need for a stuffed animal. Even so, he’s found another toy to play with. It’s a plastic penguin! BEAR CUB LOVES TOY BY KITSON JAZYNKA my best buddy is a big softie! West Midlands, England Yoda the black-and-white ruffed lemur didn’t let a little rain spoil his day. Instead, the brainy animal scored himself an umbrella! The primate had been roaming around his open area at the Dudley Zoological Gardens one drizzly morning when he saw a woman with an open umbrella. Getting close, he tapped on her leg. The startled visitor dropped her rain gear and Yoda plucked it off the ground. He twirled it around by the handle and reached up to touch the umbrella’s smooth fabric canopy. Then he dashed away, holding the umbrella over his head. Yoda only dropped it when a gust of wind nearly knocked him down. Although Yoda avoided getting soaked by snagging the gear, staying dry may not have been his main goal. “Lemurs don’t mind getting a little wet,” senior curator Derek Grove says. In fact, he may just have been curious and playful. “Rain or shine, Yoda likes to have fun,” says Derek. LEMUR USES UMBRELLA i should’ve checked the forecast this morning. BY SEAN PRICE BY FIONA THOMSON It’s easy to tell male and female house sparrows apart, as the females are paler and have pink legs. SIZING UP THE HOUSE SPARROW FAVOURITE FOOD: Seeds. In the breeding season they switch to insects, which is what their hungry chicks want. 14 to 15 centimetres LENGTH The best muffins are on the corner of Kloof and River road. City Sparrow  S mall, brown and everywhere you look. This streetwise little bird likes living near humans. You’ll find them bathing in a gutter after rain and picking up crumbs as people eat their lunchtime sandwiches in the sun. Because it’s not as flashy as some of their cousins, the common old house sparrow can easily be overlooked by bird lovers. Mohammed Dilawar of the Nature Forever Society in India realised that sparrows from his home town were disappearing. He decided 20 March would be World Sparrow Day and 2013 is the third year of his campaign. It turns out house sparrow numbers have been dropping in some Indian cities. The Indian capital Delhi has even adopted the house sparrow as its state bird to create awareness before it’s too late. This little bird is struggling to live in modern cities. It prefers nesting in old-fashioned eaves rather than high, glass and concrete buildings. It struggles to find enough food when gardens are sprayed with pesticide or paved over and grains are processed in factories instead of in the open air. The house sparrow occurs naturally in Europe and parts of Asia but was introduced to Australia, Africa and North and South America. Workers from India brought the bird with them to Durban in the 1880s and 1890s when they settled in South Africa. From there the bird spread into other parts of southern Africa and as far as Malawi and Zambia. Sparrows don’t seem to be disappearing from South Africa but some research shows they are moving out of cities like Cape Town to the countryside. The European house sparrow is also in trouble. It has disappeared from central London in England where it was once very common. Some researchers are saying simple things like leaving grass to seed in winter rather than cutting it would help. Seems like modern cities are too tidy for this bird! 10 march 2013 Making sure sparrows have enough to eat will encourage them to return to cities.
