Abstract: Stochomys longicaudatus (Tullberg, 1893) is a monotypic African murid rodent called the target rat because long bristle-like hairs in its fur resemble arrows stuck into a target, giving it a unique appearance. Although occurring in comparatively low densities, it is widely spread throughout the lowland rainforests of equatorial western and central Africa. Inhabiting dense understory vegetation, it is a secretive and perhaps nomadic species and little is known about its behavior. S. longicaudatus is herbivorous, climbs well and often, and builds nests from shredded grass. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources classifies it as a species of “Least Concern.”

Abstract: Histiotus magellanicus (Philippi, 1866) is a vespertilionid bat called the southern big-eared brown bat. The dark color of the ears and the absence of a connecting band between the ears are the characters that clearly differentiate this species from all other species of Histiotus. It is a little-known species with a distribution restricted to the southern portions of Argentina and Chile. H. magellanicus is listed as “Least Concern” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

Abstract: Vulpes chama (Smith, 1833), commonly called the Cape fox, is 1 of 11 species of Vulpes. It is the only species of Vulpes occurring in southern Africa, and is endemic to that region. It occurs in southern Angola, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and southwestern Zimbabwe. V. chama is a slender-built fox and its pelage is silvery gray throughout, back of pinna is tawny, and white hairs occur in the front along pinna edge. It tends to occupy arid and semiarid open habitats and feeds mainly on small mammals and insects, but also consumes birds, small reptiles, and fruits. V. chama is not of conservation concern and is listed as “Least Concern” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.
摘要:Vulpes chama (Smith, 1833),俗称角狐(Cape fox),是11种狐中的一种。它是唯一一种出现在非洲南部的秃鹫,是该地区特有的。它发生在安哥拉南部、博茨瓦纳、纳米比亚、南非和津巴布韦西南部。V. chama是一种纤细的狐狸,它的皮毛是银灰色的,耳廓的后部是茶色的,白色的毛沿着耳廓的边缘出现在前面。它往往占据干旱和半干旱的开放栖息地,主要以小型哺乳动物和昆虫为食,但也吃鸟类、小型爬行动物和水果。V. chama不受保护,被国际自然和自然资源保护联盟列为“最不受关注”的物种。

Abstract: Trinomys yonenagae (Rocha, 1995), Yonenaga's Atlantic spiny-rat, is a small caviomorph rodent locally known as “rabo-de-facho” (Portuguese) due to its setiform hairs and long penciled tail. It is endemic to the sand dune field of the arid Brazilian Caatinga, on the west side of the Middle São Francisco River, from Barra to Pilão Arcado (Bahia, Brazil). The long hind feet, the fossorial and colonial habits, and the inflated tympanic bullae are cited as adaptations to the hot and sandy habitat. One of 10 species in the genus, it is listed as “Endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources because it is found only at a single location of less than 5,000 km2 and its habitat continues to decline due to the extraction of sand.

Abstract: Microsciurus santanderensis (Hernández-Camacho, 1957) is a sciurid commonly called the Santander dwarf squirrel. M. santanderensis is a small tree squirrel with orange and black mixed fur and is 1 of 4 species in the genus Microsciurus. Endemic to Colombia, South America, in forests at elevations up to 3,800 m, M. santanderensis is listed as “Data Deficient” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, and more research is needed to determine its conservation needs.

Abstract: Rhinopithecus bieti Milne-Edwards, 1897 is 1 of the largest and most northerly colobine monkeys. It lives at the highest recorded elevations for a nonhuman primate, 2,625–4,700 m. It has a restricted range between the Yangtze and Mekong Rivers in Yunnan and Xizang (Tibet) Provinces, mainland of China, in 15–20 groups comprising 6 isolated populations. It lives in multimale-multifemale bands of up to 480 individuals comprising cohesive 1-male units of < 20 individuals in nonoverlapping home ranges. Bands may have 1 or more all-male units. Mating and parturition are seasonal. With a total population of about 3,500, it is 1 of the most endangered primates and is listed as “Endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.
