1 VULNERABLE SPECIES OF WILDLIFE Issued 21 st July, 1976 Four species of wildlife found in Rhodesia that are vulnerable are depicted on these stamps. "Vulnerable" is defined by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as being likely soon to become endangered if current trends of over-exploitation, massive depletion of habitat, or other environmental disturbance continue. Which means in effect that the ultimate security of these species is not yet assured as they are under threat from serious adverse factors throughout their range. The four species within this issue are Roan Antelope (4 cents) Habitat: Open or lightly-wooded country, often in rough, broken ground and grassy valleys, never far from water. Habits: Roan live in small herds of up to 20 individuals, and each herd is led by a dominant bull. Bulls in mating condition are solitary but, in season, take females out of herd. During the dry season, herds may join up and constitute large concentrations. They are very pugnacious and aggressive. The voice is a blowing snort. Distribution: Centre belt across North and Central Africa. Threat to survival: Roan are mainly grazers and rarely feed on leaves and fruit. Although adapted particularly to arid conditions, they are susceptible to drought and human disturbance. They move to a variable extent, often to unsuitable habitat. In Rhodesia, disturbance is caused by ranching pressures in habitat, and development. The remaining populations are in isolated, localised pockets. Protective measures: Declared to be Royal Game under the Sixth Schedule to the Parks and Wild Life Act, 1975, and their destruction carries heavy penalties. Brown Hyaena (6 cents) Habitat; Dry savannah. Habits: Very shy and purely nocturnal, lives singly, hiding by day. Like its relatives, it is a scavenger, but occasionally hunts, and is prone to attacking the young of prey. A great wanderer, covering vast distances in search of food. Distribution: South West Africa and western edge of Rhodesia. ~ 1 ~
2 Threat to survival: The Brown Hyaena is marginal to Rhodesia, found only in areas bordering on Kalahari sand veld. It has suffered from destruction by ranchers who consider it to be a danger to domestic livestock, and has probably been exterminated in most inhabited areas. Protective measures: Fully protected in all National Parks, Recreational Parks, Safari Areas, and Sanctuaries where they occur. Wild Dog (8 cents) Habitat: Open or wooded savannah. Habits: Gregarious, lives and hunts in packs of 6 to 20 animals, sometimes more. Hunting is organized and very effective. Distribution: Throughout Africa. Threat to survival: Considered to be a danger to domestic livestock, they have been hunted to near extinction in most inhabited areas. Protective measures: Fully protected in all National Parks, Safari Areas and Sanctuaries where they occur. Cheetah (16 cents) Habitat: Open and semi-arid savannah woodland. Habits: Cheetahs live singly or in small groups of up to six, and hunt in daylight, mostly in the morning and evening, but occasionally also on moonlit nights (sight is the most important sense). Success in hunting depends on speed rather than on stealth and speed. Considered to be the fastest animal in the world, with speeds of up to 120 km/h having been recorded. Preys mainly on smaller animals (such as oribi, impala, etc.) and birds, but kills of larger animals such as waterbuck, wildebeest, etc., have been recorded. Cheetahs are rather silent creatures, uttering a "chirruping" sort of cry and growling when angry. They purr like cats. Distribution: Centre belt across North Africa; Eastern and Central Africa; Asia from Turk-mania and Iran to Arabia; formerly in India, where it is now believed extinct. Threat to Survival: Cheetahs are not of a ferocious disposition and have been tamed and used for hunting in Asia for centuries. They are timid creatures, unable to withstand changing conditions and increased disturbance. As a result, they have been exterminated in much of Southern and North Africa and have become extremely localised throughout the remainder of their range. Protective measures: Declared to be Royal Game under the Sixth Schedule to the Parks and Wild Life Act, Their destruction carries heavy penalties. (Source: PTC Bulletin No 2 of 1976) ~ 2 ~
