chiricahua leopard frog :: Article Creator SAVING THE CHIRICAHUA LEOPARD FROG When a Chiricahua leopard frog wants attention, it snores — at least, its distinctive call sounds like a snore. But the sound of snoring around desert streams, springs and even stock tanks is a lot softer than it used to be. Once found in more than 400 aquatic sites in the Southwest, the frog is now found at fewer than 80. In Arizona, the Chiricahua has declined more than any other leopard frog. BACKGROUND Chiricahua leopard frogs need permanent water for reproduction, but that's increasingly hard to come by: Southwest riparian areas are often destroyed by livestock grazing, groundwater pumping, water diversion and dams. Some natural marshes, springs and wetlands are converted to cattle stock ponds. Meanwhile, nonnative predators like bullfrogs, fishes and crayfish feast on the frog and fungal disease and global forces — from elevated ultraviolet radiation t...

skipjack fish :: Article Creator Fresh Tuna Recipes Tuna is widely available, but can sometimes see a dip in availability due to the monsoon season and where the tuna has been landed. Various types of tuna – particularly yellowfin and skipjack tuna – are also used for the canning industry. Serious sustainability issues surround this fish, particularly when whole shoals are caught using large nets (such as with the purse-seining method). It is widely agreed that albacore tuna caught by pole is the best option as these fish are landed individually. Bluefin tuna - the most prized and the most vulnerable - should be avoided. Skipjack tuna, used in tinned tuna is the most sustainable of all the tuna species. Mighty Tuna There are seven main species of tuna consumed by humans including albacore, skipjack, yellowfin and three species of bluefin tuna - they can be found in tropical and temperate regions of all oceans. Tunas are caught by purse seine...

They tried everything to lure the puppy, including chicken. A cop finally managed to get the sheepadoodle named Brooklyn off the frozen water, but then Brooklyn took off.

blue spotted frog :: Article Creator SAVING THE OREGON SPOTTED FROG The first species ever to be emergency-listed as an endangered species in Canada, the Oregon spotted frog was on the U.S. Candidate list for 23 years before it federal protection in the United States. Named for the black spots that cover its head, back, sides and legs, the species has an historic range that stretches from California up north past the U.S.-Canadian border. But encroachments on its wetland habitats and the introduction of nonnative plants and animals have almost totally extinguished the frog. BACKGROUND Over the past 50 years, this unique amphibian has disappeared from 90 percent of its former range — and since it was listed as a candidate in 1991, its habitat has been lost at an accelerating pace. The frog is also threatened by introduced species: Bullfrogs and green frogs compete with Oregon spotted frogs for food, while fish introduced for sport fishing ...
