If you havequestions about
your pets (furry,feathered orscaled), ask ourlocal NG KIDS vet,Professor Paws.
A:Like humans dogs can beallergic to pollen and grass. A lotof pollen is released in spring whentrees bud and flowers bloom. Itsbest to ask your vet to find outwhat she is allergic to. Your vetmight do a skin test.
Q: Why is my dog so sneezyand itchy?
Health checkfor your dog
Ask your parentto do thesewith you as you have to be vegentleand youdontwant nip. If you are in any doubt
visit your vet.I SPY IN HIS EYE. Gently pull the eyelids apart
with your index finger and thumb. Can you see
your reflection? All is fine. Go to the vet if they
are milky.
NOTE HIS NOSE. Is it wet and cold? Then your dog
is healthy and happy. If its warm and dry it may be
that he is dehydrated.
PEER IN HIS EAR. Look for any discharge,
swelling or smell that could be an ear infection.
You can clean your dogs ears every so often with
a cotton wool dipped in ear wash.
Dear Fiona
This is my dog, Piper. She is fouryears old. We take her to the beachfor walks.
She has lots of energy and alwayswants to play.
She is a good vacuum cleanerwhen food drops on the floor atdinner time.
She runs a lot and loves to play
especially ball.This picture shows how she likes
to sleep.I love NG KIDS and hope you can
put her picture in the magazine.James Thornton, 7, Blouberg,

TEETHBRUSHES
APE
OPENWIDE!
Central Kalimantan, BorneoSiswi the orang-utan would make a dentist proud. The 34-year-oldape has been spotted scrubbing her teeth with a toothbrush! Shedoesnt brush regularly, says Birut Mary Galdikas, president ofOrangutan Foundation International, which works to protect TanjungPuting National Park where Siswi lives. But if someone hands her atoothbrush and shes in the mood, shell start cleaning her mouth.
Does Siswi scrub her chompers to prevent cavities? Not exactly.Orang-utans sometimes use their fingers to clean their teeth buttheyre also very good at imitating actions they see. Siswi haswatched many humans living in the area brush their teeth at anearby river. When she brushes, shes copying them, Birut says.The orang-utan may also enjoy the minty taste of toothpaste.Another reason why the animal cleans her teeth: shes getting readyto pose for the camera. Siswis much more likely to start brushing ifsomeones about to take a picture, Birut says. Shes a bit of a diva.

Trifle
Siswi
Migaloo
Buckinghamshire, EnglandWhen Trifle the hedgehog injured three of his legs, he received a lot of TLC and somefancy footwear. To help the prickly animal recover, veterinarians at TiggywinklesWildlife Hospital fitted his legs with miniature blue casts.
Trifle had been rushed to the hospital after he was found limping badly.An X-ray showed the hedgehogs front leg was broken and his two back legswere fractured. Vets wrapped the limbs in bandages and plaster, just likecasts made for humans. Soon Trifle was on the move again. This little guyhad so much energy, even casts couldnt stop him from running around,head nurse Clare Campbell says. And they positioned his bones so they couldheal more quickly.
After a couple of months, Trifles casts came off and the hedgehog was setfree in the hospitals garden so vets could keep an eye on him. Trifle is
coping very well without the casts, Clare says. He doesnt miss them eventhough they did make him look pretty stylish! John Micklos, Jr.
HEDGEHOGFASHIONSTATEMENT
Brisbane, AustraliaMigaloo the dog has a real nose for history. Shes the worlds first caninearchaeologist, using her powerful sniffer to find buried ancient remains.
The work is like a game to Migaloo, owner Gary Jackson says. When shearrives at an archaeological site, she immediately begins smelling the soil for
bones. The four-year-old pooch trained for six months to prepare for her joband was rewarded with a game of fetch whenever she made a discovery.Now Migaloo regularly joins excavation teams to search for remains ofAustralias first inhabitants, the Aborigine. The pups coolest find? Bones thatwere 600 years old and buried two metres underground!
Dogs have at least 125 million receptors in their noses that pick up scents humans only have 5 to 10 million, dog expert Stewart Hilliard says. Thissuper sensitive snout makes dogs like Migaloo great for archaeological work.Migaloo also has some cool moves. When she makes a find, she does a shimmy,Gary says. Its her victory dance.

Ahippopotamushelpsbaby
animalscrossaragingriver.
BY KAREN DE SEVE
It is rush hour in Africa. Every October thousands of wildebeest and zebras gather along thebanks of the Mara River. They wait to cross the deep, rushing waters as part of their seasonaljourney from the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya to the Serengeti National Park inTanzania. The river flows so fast that full-grown animals struggle to swim to the other side.
When the river is full, lots of animals drown trying to cross, says Tom Yule, who runs the nearbyLemala Mara safari camp. Watching from the rivers edge, Tom sees a wildebeest calf and later azebra foal jump into the water. But he doesnt expect what happens next.
WILDEBEESTCALF
The little wildebeest tries to paddle across the river but is swept away by thestrong current. The calf tries to keep its head above water while floatingdownstream. Suddenly something rises out of the water: a large, dark head
followed by the hulking body of a hippopotamus. The hippo had been lying in the waternear where the animals jump in and immediately went after the calf, Tom says. Hippos
can be aggressive and even deadly when defending territory, so he
wonders if the hippo will attack the young wildebeest.
The strong hippo defies the current and uses its bodyto stop the wildebeest calf s scary ride downstream.Like a tugboat guiding a ship filled with precious
cargo, the hippo shepherds the little beast to the otherside of the river. Tom and other bystanders watch indisbelief. I had never witnessed anything like that,he says. The wildebeest reaches the opposite bank andruns back upstream to rejoin the herd.

Believe it or not, vultures areobsessed with hygiene. Theyclean up carcasses of animals
that have died of natural causesor predator attacks. Special acidsin their digestive systems destroybacteria like anthrax, cholera and
rabies, preventing the spread oflife-threatening diseases. Vulturesalso bath regularly! After feeding,they wash in water pools and rest inthe sun to dry.
Most vulture species share somefeatures but each one has a specific
job in natures recycling squad.Special tasks need special tools,
so lets find out what makes a fewof South Africas vultures the bestbirds in the cleaning business.

Many species roost in talltrees or on high cliffs sothat they can take off more
easily but they must wait for thesun to warm the ground. Thiscreates thermals, or risingpockets of hot air, which thevultures use to keep them soaring
Long necks allow them to get into the nooks and crannies of a carcassto do a proper cleaning job. Bald heads are easier to keep clean and thisprotects them from disease. They also keep vultures cool in the sun, but
it can get a bit chilly when they soar a few kilometres above the ground. Not toworry they have built-in scarves! While they soar, they pull their heads into theruff of feathers around the base of their necks to keep warm.

WHAT A MESS!All our vultures are in trouble.Accidentally colliding with hightension wires can kill or badly injurethem. Less wildlife roaming freemeans less food and many have toeat insects and small animals. Thisfood isnt nutritious enough toprevent deformities and illness.
Farmers sometimes poisoncarcasses to kill predators but endup killing vultures instead. Evensome livestock medicines can harmthem. Vultures can help farmers.When they draw attention to dead
livestock, disease outbreaks can bestopped in time. Vultures also getrid of carcasses that are not fit forhumans to eat.
VITAL BIRDSDr Gerhard Verdoorn, Director ofthe Griffon Poison InformationCentre, explains that disease wouldspread like wildfire from game parksand conservation areas to farmswithout vultures. It would be adisaster, he says. Vultures are at
the top of the food chain and losingthem would have a serious impact
on the whole ecology. Vultures only
raise one chick at a time and out of100 hatchlings only five survive toadulthood. Vulture populationscannot keep up with the big lossesthey are suffering now.
A DAY FOR VULTURES!International Vulture Day is on7 September 2013. It started whenBirds of Prey Programme in SouthAfrica and the Hawk ConservancyTrust in England decided to worktogether and turn their projectinto an international event.Populations of many species areunder threat and some are facingextinction. Here are some of thelocal groups taking part in this day:Bearded Vulture Task Force, MalutiDrakensberg Vulture Project andEzemvelo KZN Wildlife.
Go to www.vultureday.org to findout more.
LETS CLEAN IT UP!We depend on vultures to do what
they do best clean up and worktogether. We can follow their
example by teaming up to wipe out
wrong ideas about these amazingbirds. Organisations like VulProare doing it already. At itseducational and rehabilitationcentre in Hartbeespoort injuredvultures get treatment andpeople get a chance to learnabout and even interactwith them.
LUNCH TIMEThe first vulture restaurant wascreated in the Giants Castle
Nature Reserve in the 1960s, butthis successful plan for savingvultures only became popular inthe 1990s. Now there are 149vulture restaurants in South Africa.VulPros research helps to ensurethat the birds get safe food andthat everyone from the vulturesto landowners and from farmersto kids benefit from this amazingconservation effort. Vultures areindicators of the health of ourenvironment, says Kerri Wolter, thefounder and manager of VulPro. We
should protect them for the sake ofour own ecosystem and our planet.
without burning much energy asthey scan the ground for food.
3They are big birds, so theycan eat quickly and easily.Vultures eat up to 10 percent
of their weight in one meal. Thats likeyou eating 25 hamburgers in one go.

Recording what you learn is an important part of a scientists
job. When you are in the field its good to keep your camera
handy and even better if photography is your hobby. Meetfour animal conservationists who love taking photographs of
the animals they love.
NAME: Michael AdamsConservationist, Reptile Park,National Zoological Gardens ofSouth AfricaMY WORK: Im part of a teamcaring for the reptiles andamphibians at the zoo. I takeparticular pride in caring forthe endangered Pickersgillsreed frogs we got as part of a
collaborative programme.
MY PHOTOGRAPH: This is apicture of the Pickersgillsreed frog that is endemic tothe KwaZulu-Natal coast.The species is criticallyendangered and the zoo istaking part in a captivebreeding programme. It is onlythree centimetres long, so itrequires a special lens to
get the right picture.
NAME: Marine DrouillyConservation biologist,University of Cape TownMY WORK:Every day is full ofdiscoveries and adventure. Istudy how animals interact withone another, their environmentand with people. This is thescience called ecology.THIS PHOTOGRAPHwas takenin July 2010 on Kodiak Island,Alaska, in the extreme northwestof America. That is more than16 000 kilometres from SouthAfrica! We were researchingwhat climate change does to themain food resources of Kodiakbears, the biggest brown bears inthe world. These three cubs werewatching their mother fishingsalmons and learning her tricks.The sow (the female bear) had aGPS collar that we used to followher so we could find out whatshe ate.

NAME:Lauren de VosResearcher, Marine ResearchInstitute, University of Cape TownMY WORK: As a scientist Imdevoted to protecting ourvulnerable oceans. I use BRUV(Baited Underwater Video) whichI edit into clips that show peoplewhat my work is about.MY PHOTOGRAPH:
This is a roman, a brightly
coloured fish that lives on thereef and is often caught byfishermen. The roman lives longand defends its territory fiercely!The photo was taken in FalseBay in the Western Cape. In thebackground you can see aleopard catshark. Taking photosand video helps me to figure outhow many fish live in an area,what different species can befound and where they live. Thecameras allow me to do thiswithout disturbing the seacreatures. I use the information
to help protect our oceans.
NAME:Ross WanlessResearcher, Percy FitzpatrickInstitute for African OrnothologyMY WORK: Ive got the coolest
job: making sure seabirds such asalbatrosses and penguins dontbecome extinct.MY PHOTOGRAPH. Part of mywork involves studying the Tristanalbatross, which breeds only atGough Island in the South AtlanticOcean. Their huge wings are usedto catch the wind. With the rightwinds they can fly more than 100kilometres (that would be fromJohannesburg to Pretoria andback) without flapping their wingsonce. They are listed as CriticallyEndangered, which means thereare very few of them left, andtheir numbers are going downevery year. I use photography tocreate awareness of their plight.
Make your mark and take partThe National Geographic Society, to whichNG KIDSbelongs, has its headquarters in Washington in America.It is anon-profit organisationdevoted to the conservation of the worlds cultural, historical and naturalresources.

My team and I plunged into the water. We couldnt turnon any bright lights until we reached our destinationnearly 30 metres down, or the jellies would be scared
off. So we dived through the sea in darkness. Finally we madeit to our site. I switched on an underwater lamp and panned itaround me. Jellyfish were everywhere! Whenever a light beamhit one, the animal would start to glow. It was incredible.
My job is to watch how marine animals move through thewater many glide along with amazing efficiency. Then I thinkabout designing underwater vehicles that move in the same
way. This may help us invent submarines that whisk you to thedeepest parts of the ocean. I also investigate how swimmingmarine animals affect the movement of ocean water. Evengroups of tiny sea creatures like five-centimetre-long krillaffect their environment in a big way.
The work can be tiring. We study nocturnal animals andoften dive at night. You dont sleep much! But I love being inthe field. Our oceans are important and weve explored only asliver of them. Theres much more to see.STUDY:

Hungry for some tasty leaves, theyoung male koala slowly walksacross the ground towards a standof eucalyptus trees. Its fragrant
green leaves are a koalas main food.The trees, like many of the eucalyptus
in the suburbs of Australias northeasternQueensland state, grow in someones garden.Unfortunately the garden is home to thekoalas deadliest predator: dogs.
The dogs viciously attack the little
koala, biting and shaking him. Somehow heescapes and struggles up the nearest tree.Badly injured, the terrified animal wedgeshimself into the fork of a branch torest. The barking dogs below cantreach him now, but hes trappedin the yard. Even if he could getdown he would soon die withoutmedical care.
After two days thehomeowners finally notice theinjured animal. They call MoretonBay Koala Rescue, a local volunteer group.From the ground a rescuer lifts a long polewith a soft disk at the top above the koalas
head, encouraging him to move down fromthe tree. The rescuers gently place thewounded animal in a large cage and drivehim to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital.During the trip they decide to name himLewis.
HELP IN THE HOSPITALThe medical staff is startled by the severityof his wounds. When I first saw him, Iwondered how he could still be alive, saysveterinarian Amber Gillett.
Shaving off Lewiss thick fur revealsdeep bites near his throat and on his legsand abdomen. Amber must perform surgery
on the koalas belly to check for injuriesthat could kill him. Luckily the koala passesthe check. Amber cleans Lewiss badlyinfected bite wounds. Medical staff giveLewis strong antibiotics, close his woundswith dozens of stitches and bandage himalmost from head to toe.
Most injured koalas treated by thehospital are either hit by cars or mauled bydogs. Amber believes as suburbs continueto overtake the koalas dwindling foresthabitat nearly two-thirds have been cutdown people should be more responsibleabout their pets. There are all sorts of
wildlife coming in and out of gardens, shesays. Dogs and cats are hunting becausethats their nature.
GROWING STRONGERLewis had been very scared when hecame in, Amber says. But after a few dayshe knew we were not a threat. The staffchange his bandages and clean his woundsevery day. Apart from fresh eucalyptusleaves he is fed a protein-rich baby
formula to help him regain strength. Tokeep him warm until his fur grows back, thestaff customise some baby clothes for him
to wear.It takes more than three months
for the deep wounds on Lewissarms and legs to heal. Now hismuscles need some exercise. Thephysical therapy programmeis perfect for a koala: climbing
eucalyptus trees in a fenced areaoutside. We started him off in small
trees, only about two metres high, Ambersays. Then we introduced him tosomething a little bigger.
Eight months after his arrival at thehospital, a fully furred Lewis is scaling treesover 18 metres tall and gathering his ownleaves. Hes ready to return to the wild.

A NEW TREE HOUSELewis is taken to the area where he wasrescued, then carried in a cage deep intothe bush far from private property and
dogs. After a half-hour hike the releaseteam finds an ideal tree and open the cage.He was a bit hesitant, Amber says. Helooked around as if wondering what he wasdoing there.
But Lewis gets a good grip on thebark and knows just what to do. He climbsstraight up the tree, finds a comfy spot andstarts eating.
Amber is thrilled with her patientsprogress. It was amazing to see him comefrom the sick little animal at deaths door tobeing back up a tree again, looking happyand healthy, she says.
