Much of that reduced mortality has come from minimizing the interactions between bears and humans. Sheep-grazing rights once brought lots of food into grizzly territory on National Forest land, for example, but grazing allotments have been all but phased out. Garbage dumps and piles of entrails left behind by elk hunters lure grizzlies into areas where they are more likely to be hit by cars or run into people who have to kill them in self-defense. But again, many dumps have been shut down, and the Wyoming game and fish department is working with hunting groups to make...
...requires. Still, that doesn't mean the bears would find themselves in a free-fire zone. Idaho, Montana and Wyoming have no immediate plans for a grizzly-hunting season. If one is established, says France, "it's going to be like the ones they set up for bighorn sheep and moose: very few permits and a very close monitoring of the population." Indeed, if the bear population begins to plummet, that automatically triggers a review by the FWS, which could lead to relisting the bears...
...back to hospital," she says. The Kennas have been married for 58 years, and still live in the red-roofed house that locals in Kenna's home town of Hamilton, in Victoria's western wool district, built for them when he returned in 1946. The pale gums and sheep fields were just the same, but the VC changed Kenna's life for good. In between raising four children and being town hall curator for 34 years, he's met royalty, traveled the world for reunions and ceremonies, led Anzac Day marches, given countless talks, sat for his portrait, and been...
...quest to duplicate a dog been something of a Holy Grail in the tricky field of mammalian cloning. Since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1996, scientists have followed with pigs, cattle, mice, rabbits, horses and cats. But though they tried mightily, nobody had ever created a genetic double of man's best friend. Not, that is, until South Korean researcher Woo Suk Hwang and his team at Seoul National University brought Snuppy the puppy into the world--an animal whose entire genome came from a single cell from the ear of a three-year-old Afghan hound. Snuppy...
...eggs will mature outside of a dog, viable eggs have to be extracted surgically. Once you have inserted the DNA you want to clone and tricked the eggs into becoming embryos, moreover, you can't just implant them at will in a surrogate bitch. Cows, goats and sheep can be thrown into estrus--readiness for pregnancy--by giving them a hormone shot. Not dogs. "You have to monitor hundreds, if not thousands, of dogs every day to figure out when they come into heat," says Westhusin. That's why Hwang's team--which stays on the job seven days...
