1 DESCRIBE THE HABITAT REQUIREMENTS AND OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT WILDLIFE SPECIES NATURAL RESOURCE I FISHERY AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE 5.03

2 HABITAT THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF FOOD, COVER, WATER, HOME RANGE AND TERRITORY ARE ALL PART OF AN ANIMAL S HABITAT.

3 FOOD HERBIVORE CARNIVORE THE PLANT EATERS THE MEAT EATERS

4 INSECTIVORES: THE INSECT EATERS FOOD FRUGIVORES: THE FRUIT EATERS SHREW MOLE CHIMPANZEE ARMADILLO GIANT ANT EATER HEDGEHOG GIANT TORTOISE TOUCAN

5 FOOD MNIVORES: EAT MANY FOOD TYPES SPERMIVORES: SEED EATERS

6 CLASSIFICATION OF ANIMALS BY FOOD VARIETY EUROPHAGOUS: CONSUMES GREAT VARIETIES OF FOOD COYOTES HUMANS STENOPHAGOUS: EATS A SPECIALIZED DIET EVERGLADES KITE (HAWK) FEED ON JUST ONE VARIETY OF SNAIL OPOSSUM FEATHER MITE CAN SURVIVE ON ONE SPECIES OF BIRD

7 A PLACE FOR PROTECTION FROM WEATHER COVER A PLACE FOR PROTECTION FROM PREDATORS

8 IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT OF WILDLIFE WATER MOST ANIMALS BODIES ARE 60-80% WATER IMPORTANCE: BLOOD COMPOSITION, TEMPERATURE REGULATION, AND NUTRIENT TRANSPORT SOME ANIMALS GET MOST OF THEIR WATER FROM FOODS THEY EAT

9 HOME RANGE AND TERRITORY HOME RANGE: THE AREA OVER WHICH GAME TRAVELS, WHICH COULD BE FROM ONE ACRE TO HUNDREDS OF SQUARE MILES TERRITORY: THE AREA AN ANIMAL WILL DEFEND, OFTEN TO THE DEATH

10 GAME MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES GAME REFUGES ARE LANDS SET ASIDE FOR PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE SPECIES HABITAT DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT OCCURS WHEN HABITAT IS DEVELOPED AND MANAGED FOR MAXIMUM BENEFIT TO WILDLIFE FENCEROW PLANTINGS WOODLAND MANAGEMENT-NOT USING WOODLAND FOR GRAZING WILL INCREASE GAME POPULATION

11 COORDINATION WITH OTHER RESOURCES MANAGING THE WILDLIFE IN COORDINATION OR HARMONY WITH OTHER RESOURCES; EXAMPLE: FARMER MANAGING THE SOIL PROPERLY TO GROW CROPS, LEAVING SOME FOR WILDLIFE TO EAT

12 HUNTING REGULATIONS HUNTING MUST BE MANAGED TO CONTROL WILDLIFE POPULATION SOME PROCEDURES ARE BAG LIMITS, HUNTING SEASONS AND CLOSED SEASONS TOO MUCH WILDLIFE (OVERPOPULATION) CAN CAUSE TOO MUCH COMPETITION FOR HABITAT TOO MUCH HARVESTING CAN CAUSE UNDER-POPULATION.

13 PREDATOR CONTROL INVOLVES CONTROLLING PREDATORS OF THE GAME, RATHER THAN GAME PREDATORS CAN KEEP GAME HEALTHIER PREDATORS MAINTAIN AN IMPROVED GAME POPULATION BY REMOVING WEAK

14 ARTIFICIAL STOCKING INVOLVES BRINGING ANIMALS INTO AN AREA CAN INVOLVE BRINGING ANIMALS NATURAL TO THE AREA OR INTRODUCING A NEW SPECIES TO AN AREA CALLED INTRODUCTION OF EXOTICS

15 NEED TO CONSIDER POPULATION DENSITY REFERS TO NUMBER OF GAME ANIMALS IN A DEFINED AREA

16 NEED TO CONSIDER CARRYING CAPACITY THE AMOUNT OF GAME AN AREA IS ABLE TO SUSTAIN

17 LEGISLATION AND GAME MANAGEMENT GENERALLY MANAGED BY EACH STATE

18 Major legislation governing wildlife LACEY ACT OF 1900: FIRST MAJOR LAW AFFECTING WILDLIFE. MADE FEDERAL OFFENSE TO TRANSPORT ILLEGALLY TAKEN WILDLIFE ACROSS STATE LINES. (AMENDED IN 2008 TO INCLUDE PLANTS)

19 MAJOR LEGISLATION GOVERNING WILDLIFE MIGRATORY BIRD ACT OF 1929 PROVIDED REFUGES FOR MIGRATORY BIRDS

20 MAJOR LEGISLATION GOVERNING WILDLIFE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT OF 1966-GAVE THE AUTHORITY OF PROTECTING RARE AND ENDANGERED SPECIES TO THE FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE. RED WOLF RED COCKADED WOODPECKER TAR RIVER SPINY MUSCLE HAWKBILL SEA TURTLE VENUS FLY TRAP TOWNSENDS BIG EAR BAT

21 EXTINCTION OR ENDANGERMENT ACTIONS THAT LED TO WILDLIFE POPULATION PROBLEMS TAKING ANIMALS FASTER THAN THEY CAN REPRODUCE--- BISON

22 SEEN AS A THREAT TO PEOPLE EXTINCTION OR ENDANGERMENT KILLING ANIMALS BECAUSE THEY APPEARED HOSTILE GRIZZLY BEAR COUGAR WOLVES

23 EXTINCTION OR ENDANGERMENT SEEN AS A THREAT TO DOMESTIC ANIMALS RED TAILED HAWK EXAMPLE: THE RED-TAILED HAWK DID NOT EAT MANY DOMESTIC ANIMALS ANYWAY

24 EXTINCT, RARE, THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES EXTINCT SPECIES NO LONGER EXISTS OUTSIDE OF MUSEUMS OR PHOTOS PASSENGER PIGEON BLACK RHINOCEROS DODO

25 EXTINCT, RARE, THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES ENDANGERED A SPECIES THAT IS NO LONGER COMMON AND IS IN DANGER OF BECOMING EXTINCT BIGHORN SHEEP POLAR BEAR KEY DEER WOLVES PUMA

26 EXTINCT, RARE, THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES EXAMPLES OF ENDANGERED BIRDS WHOOPING CRANE PRAIRIE CHICKEN BALD EAGLE IVORY BILLED WOODPECKER

27 EXTINCT, RARE, THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES THREATENED A SPECIES THAT FACES SERIOUS DANGERS AND IS LIKELY TO BECOME ENDANGERED KOALA WOOD STORK

28 EXTINCT, RARE, THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES RARE A SPECIES THAT EXISTS IN SMALL NUMBERS PYGMY 3 TOED SLOTH ANGEL SHARK ISLAND GREY FOX

29 EXTINCT, RARE, THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES FISH IN 1987 THERE WERE 25 FISH ON THE ENDANGERED LIST. BY 2013 THERE WERE 133 BLUEFIN TUNA CHINESE STURGEON GOLIATH GROUPER
