Four more Przewalski’s horses settle into Kazakhstan as this year’s transport sets a record! 🥳

Togs and Shara, originally from the UK’s Marwell Zoo, Bela, born in Nuremberg, and Theresa from the partner institution Tierpark Berlin, were released into acclimatisation enclosures at the Alibi reintroduction centre yesterday at ten minutes past seven in the evening.

Like the group of four stallions flown from Prague-Kbely a few days ago, they too travelled aboard a Czech Air Force CASA military aircraft. A total of eight endangered Przewalski’s horses have thus been transported this year to the Altyn Dala reserve in central Kazakhstan. This marks the highest number moved since operations in Kazakhstan began in 2024. At the same time, Prague Zoo has set a new record for the number of individuals transported from Europe to Central Asia over the entire fifteen-year history of the Return of the Wild Horses project.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has provided an important update on New World Screwworm which has been detected in a bovine in Zavala County, Texas. Read the full press release here: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/news/agency-announcements/usda-confirms-presence-new-world-screwworm-united-states

General information about New World Screwworm (NWS) can be found in the text below and in the attached infographic.

The adult screwworm fly is about the size of a common housefly (or slightly larger), with orange eyes, a metallic blue or green body, and three dark stripes along its back. It gets its name from the behavior of its larvae (maggots) as they burrow (screw) into the wound, feeding as they go. The maggots (larvae) cause extensive damage by tearing at the hosts’ tissue with sharp mouth hooks. The wound can quickly become enlarged and deeper as more maggots hatch and feed on living tissue.

Because they feed on live flesh, NWS maggots may burrow deep into wounds or openings, while other species of maggots may appear around the outer surface of the wound. In addition, even the smallest wounds have the potential to attract flies, so it is imperative that you keep a close eye on your animals for any signs of wounds.

Lastly, NWS infestations are a reportable disease! Immediately report any suspicious wounds, maggots, or infestations to a local accredited veterinarian, your State Animal Health Official, or a USDA veterinarian.

Beautiful retired Highland ponies on Rùm. The line of ponies from this island are known for having the silver gene. This gene lightens black pigment in ponies causing black manes to go blonde. The pony on the right is a silver mouse dun (mouse dun is also known as black dun). Highland ponies are equally at home high up on a hill, or down by the seashore. This breed was developed in the highlands and islands of Scotland as a crofters pony and are also well known as a deer stalking pony (see my other posts). They are valued for their strength, kindness and easy keeping. Highland ponies are categorised as “At Risk” by 🐴🌄 _______________________________________
