Otters are particularly sensitive to urbanization as it increases their risk of being persecuted and threatens the key requirements essential for their survival. Because of this, many otter species have suffered population declines throughout the world. However, in Singapore, the Smooth-coated otter Lutrogale perspicillata has made a tremendous rebound after an absence of three decades. The species is now widely distributed across the river systems and reservoirs, and can even be found in the highly urban city centre. This return of the Smooth-coated otters to Singapore was so successful that it was touted by many as a conservation success and role model for otters in the city. With more populations of otters elsewhere in the world threatened by the effects of urbanization, lessons can be drawn from the successful return of otters to Singapore and applied to these other countries. These lessons include the importance of laws, social factors and public–private partnerships in facilitating the return of a top carnivore to the city.","PeriodicalId":92961,"journal":{"name":"The International zoo yearbook","volume":"54 1","pages":"60-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/izy.12262","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49135504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Siciliano-Martina","doi":"10.1111/izy.12252","DOIUrl":"10.1111/izy.12252","url":null,"abstract":"Maternal rejection has been attributed to a variety of causes among wild mammals and those in human care, including dystocia, health concerns, primipary, inappropriate maternal care experienced by the mother as a calf and an inability to display natural behaviours, although the specific causes among Giraffes Giraffa camelopardalis have not been isolated. To address this, a survey was designed and disseminated using the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Giraffe Listserv. The primary objectives were to document the circumstances surrounding maternal rejection events and any resulting calf abnormalities. The survey focused specifically on previously documented rejection causes among other ungulate species, as well as commonly suggested causes based on anecdotal evidence. Among the responses from 36 institutions, 12 animals were reported as maternally rejected and nine were maternally separated. Participating institutions frequently cited human presence during labour and low birth weight among rejected calves. Many of the expected causes of maternal rejection, including medical concerns, maternal inexperience and labour duration, were not indicated as contributing factors among participating institutions. Likewise, survey respondents did not note any extreme behavioural differences among Giraffes that receive limited or no maternal care. This survey provides preliminary, descriptive trends; however, future studies should further investigate these relationships. These results may inform husbandry decisions and help avoid future rejection events.","PeriodicalId":92961,"journal":{"name":"The International zoo yearbook","volume":"54 1","pages":"191-201"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/izy.12252","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42150367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kitchener","doi":"10.1111/izy.12249","DOIUrl":"10.1111/izy.12249","url":null,"abstract":"The tiger feeding pole was developed at Glasgow Zoo, UK, more than 20 years ago as a feeding-enrichment device. Since then the adoption of the feeding pole by other zoos for Tigers Panthera tigris and other cats has been slow and sporadic until recent years when many zoos in the UK have begun to use this device. In this paper we review the basis for and the development of the feeding pole as a feeding-enrichment tool, including its stimulation of simulated hunting behaviours, and benefits to health and welfare. A survey of 19 zoos (mostly based in the UK) found that 79% use or have used feeding poles usually about once per week at heights of 3–6 m. We know of no confirmed reports of serious injuries or deaths of cats using feeding poles. A comparison of the skeletons of tigers found that feeding-pole-using tigers had a mean arthrosis score that is four times less than that of tigers that did not use them, providing a positive indicator of the health benefit of the use of this enrichment device. Based on previous experience we provide a refined set of recommendations for the safe use of feeding poles for cats, but recognize that providing physical and mental challenges to animals in zoos carries some minor risks that animals are well able to cope with. We discuss the possible next steps in feeding enrichment, which may include a holistic approach that considers the need to manage predators alongside prey to allow for mutual visual and olfactory enrichments.","PeriodicalId":92961,"journal":{"name":"The International zoo yearbook","volume":"54 1","pages":"174-190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/izy.12249","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44477230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, developing nations have lagged far behind these advancements. A study was devised to acquire up-to-date information on the current state of zoological medicine in Latin America using an online survey directed to zoo and aquarium professionals. Between February and April of 2016, a survey with 28 questions relevant to zoological medicine was distributed to zoo and aquarium professionals in Latin America. The questions included information about employment conditions, veterinary equipment, protocols and facilities, amongst others. One hundred and two respondents from 66 institutions (58 zoos and eight aquariums) from 15 countries answered the survey. Listservs were used to distribute the survey, which impedes the calculation of percentage response rate. Results show that not all zoos and aquariums in the region have proper facilities, veterinary equipment and supplies to carry out their jobs in an adequate manner. Thirty per cent of the institutions (n = 20 of 66 institutions) do not have an exclusive quarantine area; only 48% (n = 32 of 66 institutions) have X-ray equipment (traditional and/or digital); and 62% (n = 41 of 66 institutions) have an inhalation anaesthesia machine. There are few veterinarians [24% (n = 24 of 101 veterinarians)] in the region with advanced veterinary training (zoological-medicine residency, Master’s degree or PhD) and only 15% (n = 15 of 101) of the veterinarians have published in peer-reviewed journals in the last 5 years. In spite of these findings, 91% (n = 92 of 101) of zoo and aquarium veterinarians in Latin America reported that they were satisfied or very satisfied with their current job. Based on the results of this study, we recommend that zoological facilities and aquariums in Latin America invest in staff training, equipment and facilities to meet the accreditation standards instituted by the wider international zoo and aquariums community.","PeriodicalId":92961,"journal":{"name":"The International zoo yearbook","volume":"54 1","pages":"202-218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/izy.12251","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47388633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
