while herbivores are represented by Chital and Sambar (above) deer, Wild Boar , Nilgai antelope, etc. Wild Boar stands next to the road, watching us without nervousness or fear. Occasionally we go so quickly that we may be posing a danger for jay-walking animals… …and then, for no obvious reason, we suddenly stop!

In mid-December, I was birding along the Beljarica levee (Beh-LYAH-ritza), my local patch north of Belgrade, when something other than birds attracted my attention: three wild boars , appearing all black because they had just swam through the swamp to reach the bottom of the levee. I think all were males, at last two huge ones certainly were.

A sounder of Indian Boars is watching us from the jungle. They belong to a long-maned subspecies Sus scrofa cristatus (like four-legged Greco/Roman crested helmets) and are my second race of boar seen in India, while I still remain the only Serbian birder who has never seen one closer to home!

In mid-December, I was birding along the Beljarica levee (Beh-LYAH-ritza), my local patch north of Belgrade, when something other than birds attracted my attention: three Wild Boars. Finding birds in Belgrade. I have written about finding birds in Belgrade several times and always choose some of my favourite sites to recommend.

In the morning, still sleepy, we enter the jungle, where a sounder of Indian Boars (a long-maned subspecies Sus scrofa cristatus ) is watching us, standing among the first trees, right next to the road. Well, one reason might be – this animal is not only endangered, but even rarer than the Tiger! It is too early to show.

However, we did note signage that said if you travelling with an animal you would have to pay for twelve passengers and travel alone with your animal! There are also wild boars and macaque monkeys and you are advised to not rustle plastic bags, because they associate the noise with food.

So here it is, the review of Tracks and Signs of the Animals and Birds of Britain and Europe by Lars-Henrik Olsen. Examples are wolf, beaver, otter, domestic cat, wolverine, wild boar, elk (moose), and reindeer. Not only is it a superior guide to the tracks and signs of Europe’s animals, it is an exceptionally beautiful book.

Animal Ethics

OCTOBER 6, 2009

Code, Title 18.48, made it a federal crime to knowingly create, sell, or possess a depiction of animal cruelty with the intention of placing that depiction in interstate or foreign commerce for commercial gain. Is the NYTimes right to support striking down the law banning depictions of animal cruelty on First Amendment/free speech grounds?

On her own, two months ago, she took down a big, old and experienced Indian Boar , who already had some old tiger claw scars. Considering the fact that her lake lies conveniently close to the Moharli Gate, I suppose Telia would be the biggest earner of all the animals of Tadoba. These are my first wild tigers ever!

It concerns the nature of wildlife in Australia, and is perhaps the most remarked about aspect of Australia’s wildlife, at least the impression you’d get if you’ve ever watched ten minutes of Animal Planet. The very dangerous nature of the wildlife. You don’t have to move far off the plane to step into the danger zone.

To compensate for their lack of skill, hunters set their dogs upon a wild pig—a descendant of boars brought to America solely to give hunters the pleasure of killing a helpless animal. Following hunting season, animal shelters across America see an influx of ex-hunting dogs who were cruelly left to fend for themselves.
