INSIDE Who is New at the Zoo......2 Feast for the Beasts...........3 Wish List......................... 3 Making it Happen.........4-5 A quarterly publication for members & supporters of the California Living Museum Fall 2013 Fall Treat yourself to at the Boo-at-the-Zoo at the California Living Museum is set for October 26 and 27, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Guests of all ages are encouraged to wear costumes. Visiting goblins will be able to trick-or-treat their way around the zoo, visit with the animals at CALM and experience the natural gardens just as the foliage is beginning to turn. Children up to 12 years old are FREE, and of course, CALM members are free as well. There will be spooktacular games, festive decorations, food and beverage booths and treats for all, as well as a wildlife presentation and animal encounters. The Bounce House and rides on the Central California Children’s Railroad are only $1. Boo-at-the-Zoo is a safe, kid-friendly, not-so-scary way of trick-or-treating that makes this event educational and enjoyable for all.

I In August, CALM received Hazel, a two-year-old female North American beaver from Sea World in San Diego to join our male beaver, Lilo. The introduction was very smooth and the two are getting along “swimmingly.” With any luck, we will have a kit (baby beaver) within a year as breeding is seasonal. Don Richardson, curator, said, “Hazel is a wonderful exhibit animal and enjoys the company of humans. Beavers are an interesting species and we are lucky to have this exhibit at CALM.” Due to their natural trait of building dams on rivers and streams they are known as “Nature’s Engineer.” They use powerful front teeth to cut trees and other plants that they utilize both for building and food. They are slow on land, but are good swimmers, and can stay under water for as long as 15 minutes. Beavers are herbivores, and prefer the wood of many trees. They also eat sedges, pondweed, and water lilies. Beavers have webbed hind-feet, and a broad, scaly tail. They have poor eyesight, but keen senses of hearing, smell, and touch. A beaver’s teeth grow continuously so that they will not be worn down by chewing on wood. They are North America’s largest rodent. Nubbins, a Nelson’s antelope squirrel, came to CALM last April when he was caught in a trap on the Carrizo Plains. Sadly, a predator had found him and chewed off his front feet. With his high energy and rapid movement, you would never know he had such a severe injury. Nubbins is quite a treat to watch! This squirrel is listed as a threatened species. Next time you visit CALM, be sure to stop by and welcome Hazel and Nubbins to your zoo! 2 Hazel, North American beaver Nubbins, Nelson's antelope squirrel CALM Wish List Feast for the Beasts: A CALM tradition After your Thanksgiving feast, come to CALM and contribute to a Feast for the Beasts, an annual tradition at the zoo.

They have been vilified in movies, cartoons, advertising and by society in general. When we want to describe a not-so-nice human, we call them vultures. But in reality, The turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) plays a vital role in an ecological system. As scavengers, turkey vultures clean their (our) habitat of rotting, dead flesh. In fact, their scientific name means “cleanser.” They can even eat infected and diseased meat without suffering the negative side effects. The turkey vultures most common characteristic is its bald head and neck, revealing red to red-purple skin. The rest of their body is covered in black or brownish-black feathers, with pale legs and grey-brown eyes. They are also known to have a Turkey vulture silver lining to their wings. Perhaps they won’t win a beauty contest, but these birds are a magnificent sight to see when they soar. Turkey vultures are usually 26-32 inches in length with a 68-72 inch wingspan. With their large wingspan that forms a “V” when flying, turkey vultures are able to soar great distances with hardly any effort. Turkey vultures live across the United States during the summer in dry, open areas, deciduous forests and woodlands. In warmer climates, turkey vultures may stay year-round. If migrating, the bird will soar at 4,000-5,000 feet. The largest turkey vulture migration in the world can be seen over CALM in October! A turkey vulture’s diet is almost exclusively carrion. Their feet and beak are too weak to kill their own food. They have a highly developed sense of smell, which they locate dead flesh while soaring at 200 feet. Turkey vultures have a very interesting and effective defense mechanism whereas they regurgitate when they are stressed or feel threatened. Animal Keepers agree that this only has to happen once for you to remember this incredible “distraction.” The next time you are out and see a turkey vulture, don’t think “Yuck!” send up a nice “thank you” to this amazing, misunderstood bird who helps keep our environment clean.

We considered Gizmo our little Hollywood star as he was the model for “Hammy” in Over the Hedge, DreamWorks Animation’s 2006 animated film about the consequences of urban sprawl as the wildlife attempt to take back their neighborhood. In the movie, Hammy did not physically resemble Gizmo who was a whitetail antelope ground squirrels; however, the manic movement does. The Over the Hedge official website characterized “Hammy” as “…coming with a full dose of childlike hyperactivity….practically vibrates with enthusiastic energy---and blistering fast.” That’s was our Gizmo! He was a great exhibit animal who would interact with zoo guests. Gizmo lived an amazing 10 years when most of his species has a one to five year lifespan. The reptile house will not be the same without this lively little squirrel. In August and September we also lost two of our ambassador animals: Luigi the burrowing owl and Molly the opossum. Luigi was a docent favorite who was brought to CALM from a Los Angeles wildlife rehabilitation center in 2008. Over that time, thousands of CALM patrons were able to have a close encounter with this interesting little owl. While we are not promised these animals for a long time, they certainly brought joy to thousands of people throughout their lifetime. That is honorable for any species.
