| a comparison of zoo animal behavior in the presence of familiar and unfamiliar people. | as recorded in domestic nonhuman animals, regular interactions between animals in zoos and keepers and the resulting relationship formed (human-animal relationship [har]) are likely to influence the animals' behaviors with associated welfare consequences. har formation requires that zoo animals distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar people. this ability was tested by comparing zoo animal behavioral responses to familiar (routine) keepers and unfamiliar keepers (participants in the "keeper f ... | 2016 | 26960022 |
| the weight of rothschild giraffe-is it really well known? | despite being regularly bred in zoos, giraffes remain a challenge, especially in terms of feeding. assessment of factors influencing growth and weight changes during ontogeny, as well as analysis of weight fluctuations in adult individuals, may become a critical point in captive diet evaluation. knowledge about weight is a crucial husbandry tool; however, such data are rarely acquired. using a unique dataset from regularly weighed rothschild giraffes (giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi) from pra ... | 2016 | 27332702 |
| embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in a rothschild's giraffe (giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi). | abstract: a 3-yr-old male rothschild's giraffe (giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi) presented for acute swelling caudomedial to the left parietal horn. following initial diagnostics and supportive treatment, the mass was surgically resected and intralesional chemotherapy was administered. despite treatment, the giraffe's condition worsened and euthanasia was performed. gross necropsy revealed neoplastic invasion and destruction of underlying parietal bone, adjacent horn base, and sinuses, and me ... | 2010 | 21370656 |
| ovarian ultrasonography correlated with fecal progestins and estradiol during the estrous cycle and early pregnancy in giraffes (giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi). | fecal and urinary progestin analyses have shown that giraffes express a short reproductive cycle, averaging 15 days, compared with other large ruminants. however, actual ovarian events have not been correlated with the hormonal pattern. in this study, mature cycling female rothschild giraffes (giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi) were repeatedly examined by transrectal ultrasonography to correlate ovarian function with changes in fecal progestin (fp4 [n(c) = 6]) and estradiol (fe2 [n(c) = 6]) and ... | 2009 | 19587331 |
| dystocia in a rothschild giraffe leading to a caesarean section. | a 9-year-old female rothschild giraffe (giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi), weighing approximately 900 kg, at longleat safari park, wiltshire, uk was presented with dystocia in september 2005. this paper details the surgical and anaesthetic procedures carried out performing a caesarean section to remove a dead male calf and the successful recovery of the giraffe. | 2007 | 17493166 |
