These dogs were [[training|trained]] to run under enemy [[tank]]s. The explosives were then remotely detonated in order to [[destroy]] the target tank. These dogs were trained by the [[Soviet Union]] during [[World War II]] to be used against [[Germany|German]] armored vehicles. They were trained on Russian tanks, which used [[diesel]] fuel. In battle, the dogs often ran toward the smell of diesel fuel from the Soviet tanks instead of the intended German targets. The German Army soon learned of the use of dogs as anti-tank weapons, so all Russian dogs were shot on sight by the Germans, who feared that the dogs might be carrying explosives. Very few dogs remained in the [[Eastern Front]] as a result of this. After the war better weapons against tanks were made. Therefore, it is unlikely that anti-tank dogs will ever be used again.

She was the daughter of [[Ra]], the sun god. As protectress, she was seen as defender of the [[pharaoh]], and consequently of the chief god, [[Ra]]. Bast is also spelled '''Bastet''', '''Ubasti''', and '''Pasht'''. She was worshipped at least since the Second Dynasty in Ancient Egypt. The centre of her [[cult]] was in [[Per-Bast]] (''Bubastis'' in Greek), which was named after her. Originally she was seen as the protector goddess of [[Lower Egypt]], and therefore her image was a fierce lion. Her name means ''(female) devourer''. She was originally a goddess of the [[sun]], but later changed by the [[Greeks]] to a goddess of the [[moon]]. In [[Greek mythology]], Bast is also known as ''Aelurus''. In later times Bast became the goddess of perfumes and had the title ''perfumed protector''. In connection with this, when [[Anubis]] became the god of embalming, Bast, as goddess of [[ointment]], and she was regarded as his mother, until Anubis became [[Nephthys]]' son. This gentler characteristic, of Bast as goddess of perfumes, and Lower Egypt's loss in the wars between Upper and Lower Egypt meant that in the Middle Kingdom of Egypt she was seen as a [[domestic cat]] and not any more as a lionness. Because domestic cats tend to be tender and protective toward their offspring, Bast was also regarded as a good mother, and she was sometimes shown with [[kitten]]s. Therefore a woman who wanted children sometimes wore an amulet showing the goddess with kittens, the number of which showed how many children she wanted to have. == Other websites == {{Wikisource1911Enc|Bubastis}} *[http://www.pantheon.org/articles/b/bastet.html ''Encyclopedia Mythica'':] Bast *[http://www.per-bast.org/ Per-Bast.org:] The Domain of Bast {{stub}} [[Category:Cats]] [[Category:Egyptian gods and goddesses]] [[bg:Бастет]] [[ca:Bastet]] [[da:Bastet]] [[de:Bastet]] [[en:Bast (mythology)]] [[es:Bastet]] [[fr:Bastet]] [[hi:बास्त]] [[it:Bast]] [[la:Bubastis dea]] [[lt:Basta]] [[hu:Básztet]] [[nl:Bastet]] [[ja:バステト]] [[no:Bast]] [[nn:Bast]] [[oc:Bastet]] [[pl:Bastet]] [[pt:Bastet]] [[ro:Bastet]] [[ru:Баст]] [[scn:Bast]] [[sk:Bast]] [[sl:Bastet]] [[fi:Bastet]] [[sv:Bast]] [[tr:Bast]] 58383 406721 2007-05-07T10:52:43Z Creol 5738 Redirecting to [[Bast]] #redirect [[Bast]] 41484 574546 2007-11-01T13:51:10Z SieBot 10515 robot Adding: [[tr:Borzoy]] [[Image:Borzoi female.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Borzoi [[female]]]] '''Borzoi''' is a type of [[Russia]]n [[dog]].

Camels form the [[genus]] '''''Camelus'''''. There are two living [[species]] of camels. They are also callec ''Afro-Asiatic Camelids''. ==Taxonomy and appearance== * Genus ''Camelus'' ** Dromedary (''Camelus dromedarius'') ** [[Bactrian Camel]] (''Camelus bactrianus'') Dromedary camels have one hump on their back. Bactrian Camels have two humps on their back. ==Habitat== Dromedary camels originally lived in north [[Africa]] and western [[Asia]]. Bactrian Camels originally lived in eastern [[Asia]]. ==Life== Camels are very well adapted to [[desert]]s. They can store much [[fat]] in the humps on their backs, which is used up if they do not get much to eat. They can drink very much [[water]] in a short time and then they can live without drinking for a long time. If a camel has eaten and drank enough, it can live up to 30 days without food and 2 weeks without drinking. Camels live in groups, with one male, several females, and their young children. After 360-440 days of [[pregnancy]] the female gives birth to one baby, which drinks milk for up to 1-2 years. Camels become mature when they are 3-5 years old, and they can become 40-50 years old. ==Camels and Humans== Camels have been [[Domestication|domesticated]] by humans for about 5000 years. They are used for [[ride|riding]] and to carry things, and for [[meat]], [[milk]] and [[wool]]. As domesticated animals they are used in Africa, Asia, and since the 19th century also in [[Australia]]. About 900-1000 wild Bactrian Camels still live in [[China]] and [[Mongolia]]. There are no wild Dromedaries anymore, but there are escaped domestic Dromedaries in Australia. Today there are about 50,000 Dromedaries living wild in the [[Outback]] in Australia. A Dromedary and a Bactrian Camel can have [[hybrid]] children that are called ''Tulus'' or ''Bukhts''. These hybrids are larger than the Dromedary or Bactrian Camel, and have either one long hump or one small and one big hump. ==Images== <gallery> Image:Bactrian.camel.sideon.arp.jpg|[[Bactrian camel]], ''Camelus bactrianus'' Image:Camel seitlich trabend.jpg|A ''Bactrian Camel'' Image:Camelus dromedarius in Singapore Zoo.JPG|A ''Dromedary'' Image:Turkmen man with camel.jpg|A [[Turkmen people|Turkmen]] man with his dromedary, circa 1905-1915 in [[Turkmenistan]] </gallery> == Other websites == {{wikispecies|Camelus}} {{commonscat|Camelus}} {{stub}} [[Category:Camelids]] [[Category:Domesticated animals]] <!-- interwiki --> [[af:Kameel]] [[ar:جمل]] [[id:Unta]] [[ms:Unta]] [[bn:উট]] [[zh-min-nan:Lo̍k-tô]] [[ca:Camell]] [[cs:Velbloud]] [[cy:Camel]] [[de:Altweltkamele]] [[et:Kaamel]] [[el:Καμήλα]] [[en:Camel]] [[es:Camelus]] [[eo:Kamelo]] [[eu:Camelus]] [[fr:Camelus]] [[gl:Camelo]] [[hak:Lo̍k-thò]] [[ko:낙타]] [[hr:Deve]] [[io:Kamelo]] [[he:גמל]] [[ka:აქლემი]] [[ht:Chamo]] [[la:Camelus]] [[hu:Teve]] [[nl:Kamelen]] [[ja:ラクダ]] [[no:Kameler]] [[oc:Camèl]] [[uz:Tuya]] [[pl:Wielbłąd]] [[pt:Camelus]] [[ro:Cămilă]] [[qu:Kamillu]] [[ru:Верблюды]] [[sr:Камила]] [[fi:Kamelit]] [[th:อูฐ]] [[vi:Lạc đà]] [[tr:Deve]] [[uk:Верблюд]] [[ug:Töge]] [[zh:骆驼]] 24807 122695 2006-04-12T04:16:36Z Freshstart 2077 #REDIRECT [[camel]] #REDIRECT [[camel]] 31584 165706 2006-07-18T14:58:47Z 217.95.240.233 Redirecting to [[Camel]] #REDIRECT[[Camel]] 31632 165878 2006-07-19T07:57:36Z 217.95.252.214 Redirecting to [[Dog]] #REDIRECT[[Dog]] 2815 683569 2008-01-17T00:14:47Z Oysterguitarist 10495 Reverted changes by [[Special:Contributions/68.112.205.105|68.112.205.105]] ([[User talk:68.112.205.105|talk]]) to last version by Alexbot {{Taxobox | color = pink | name = Cat | status = Domesticated | image = Bengal_Cat_(Fia).jpg | image_caption = [[commons:Category:Felis silvestris catus|other images of cats]] | image_width = 200px | regnum = [[Animal]]ia | phylum = [[Chordate|Chordata]] | classis = [[Mammal]]ia | ordo = [[Carnivora]] | familia = [[Felidae]] | genus = ''[[Felis]]'' | species = ''[[Wildcat|F. silvestris]]'' | subspecies = '''''F. s. catus''''' | trinomial = ''Felis silvestris catus'' | trinomial_authority = ([[Carolus Linnaeus|Linnaeus]], 1758) }} [[Image:Youngkitten.JPG|thumb|A young kitten.]] {{otheruses|the [[animal]]|the [[musical]] by [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]]|Cats (musical)}} '''Cats''', also called '''domestic cat''' or '''house cat''' (''Felis silvestris catus''), are [[carnivore|carnivorous]] (meat-eating) [[mammal]]s, of the [[family (biology)|family]] ''[[Felidae]]''. Cats have been [[tamed]] (kept as [[pet]]s) for over 3000 years, and they are popular [[pet]]s. Cats were first tamed because they eat mice, but later they were tamed because they are friendly and good companions. A young cat is called a ''kitten''. Cats are sometimes called ''kitty''. The word "cat" is also used for other [[Felidae|felines]]: the big cats ([[lion]]s, [[tiger]]s, and others) and wild cats ([[lynx]]es, [[puma]]s, and others). These big cats aren't tamed and can be very dangerous. There are many different breeds of tabby cats. Cats are [[Carnivore|carnivorous]]; they eat small [[mammal]]s and [[bird]]s, and other small animals. In past times and today still, people kept cats because the cats hunted and ate [[mice]], [[rat]]s, and [[insect]]s. Today, people often keep cats as pets, but there are also cats that live wild. These kinds are called "feral cats". Cats are quiet and well-behaved animals, so they are popular pets. Many house cats no longer hunt their own [[food]], but eat food that their owner gives them, made in [[factory|factories]]. House cats are not often taught to do things, but large cats raised by people in enclosed spaces can be taught to do [[trick]]s. When a cat is happy, it moves its chest very quickly, which makes a soft noise. This is called "purring". Cats are also very clean animals. They lick their fur many times a day, and they like clean places. They also sleep a lot, sometimes up to 20 hours a day. This makes them easy to care for. Cats cannot taste sweet foods (with [[sugar]]) because of a mutation (change) in their ancestors which removed the gene necessary for tasting sweet things. A female cat is a Queen and the male cat is a Tom. === Polydactyly === Polydactyly means many digits, or many "fingers" from poly (many) and dactyl (digit). Sometimes there is a [[mutation]] (change) in cat families. Most cats have only four toes per paw. These mutated cats have five. Rarely, some are born with more than five toes per paw. All of these cats are called '' polydactyl cats''. They can also be called ''Hemingway cats'' because author [[Ernest Hemingway]] owned many of these cats. This mutation can happen in any breed (kind) of cat. ==Other meanings== *As a [[verb]], "to cat" means to pull a [[ship]]'s [[anchor]] to rest at its [[cathead]]. It can also mean to look for a [[mate]]. *Cat can be a short nickname for Catherine, Cathleen, Caitlin, Catalina and Catarina. == See also == [[list of cats]] [[Category:Cats]] [[en:Cat]] [[als:Hauskatze]] [[ang:Catte]] [[ar:قطة]] [[an:Gato]] [[frp:Chat]] [[ast:Gatu]] [[bm:Jakuma]] [[zh-min-nan:Niau]] [[bo:ཞི་མི་]] [[br:Kazh]] [[bg:Котка]] [[ca:Gat]] [[cs:Kočka domácí]] [[co:Ghjattu]] [[cy:Cath]] [[da:Kat]] [[de:Hauskatze]] [[et:Kass]] [[el:Γάτα]] [[eml:Gàt]] [[es:Gato doméstico]] {{Link FA|es}} [[eo:Kato]] [[eu:Katu]] [[fa:گربه]] [[fr:Chat]] [[gl:Gato]] [[zh-classical:貓]] [[ko:고양이]] [[hak:Meu-é]] [[hr:Domaća mačka]] [[io:Kato]] [[id:Kucing]] {{Link FA|id}} [[ia:Catto domestic]] [[os:Гæды]] [[is:Köttur]] [[it:Felis silvestris catus]] [[he:חתול]] [[jv:Kucing]] [[ka:კატა]] [[la:Feles]] [[lv:Kaķis]] [[lb:Hauskaz]] [[lt:Katė]] [[li:Katte]] [[ln:Nkɔ́ndɔkɔ́]] [[hu:Macska]] {{Link FA|hu}} [[mg:Saka]] [[mt:Qattus]] [[mr:मांजर]] [[mzn:بامشی]] [[ms:Kucing]] [[cdo:Mà]] [[nl:Kat]] [[nds-nl:Kat]] [[ja:ネコ]] [[no:Tamkatt]] [[nn:Kattedyr]] [[nrm:Cat]] [[ug:مۈشۈك]] [[uz:Mushuk]] [[km:ឆ្មា]] [[nds:Katt]] [[pl:Kot]] [[pt:Gato doméstico]] [[ro:Pisică de casă]] [[qu:Michi]] [[ru:Кошка]] {{Link FA|ru}} [[sco:Cat]] [[st:Katse]] [[sq:Macja]] [[scn:Jattu]] [[sd:ٻلي]] [[sk:Mačka domáca]] {{Link FA|sk}} [[sl:Domača mačka]] [[sr:Мачка]] {{Link FA|sr}} [[fi:Kissa]] [[sv:Katt]] [[ta:பூனை]] [[th:แมว]] [[vi:Mèo]] [[chr:ᏪᏌ]] [[tr:Kedi]] [[uk:Домашня кішка]] [[wa:Tchet]] [[zh:猫]] 35899 192875 2006-09-07T14:03:54Z 217.95.244.43 Redirecting to [[List of cat breeds]] #REDIRECT[[List of cat breeds]] 35866 192874 2006-09-07T14:03:02Z 217.95.244.43 Redirecting to [[List of cat breeds]] #REDIRECT[[List of cat breeds]] 17677 77078 2005-12-15T04:51:30Z 24.17.48.241 #REDIRECT [[Pet door]] #REDIRECT [[Pet door]] 17676 77077 2005-12-15T04:51:26Z 24.17.48.241 #REDIRECT [[Pet door]] #REDIRECT [[Pet door]] 35883 484280 2007-08-04T12:54:41Z HujiBot 11112 robot Adding: [[nl:Categorie:Kattenras]] [[Category:Cats]] <!-- interwiki --> [[cs:Kategorie:Plemena koček]] [[da:Kategori:Katteracer]] [[de:Kategorie:Katzenrasse]] [[et:Kategooria:Kassitõud]] [[en:Category:Cat breeds]] [[es:Categoría:Razas de gato]] [[fr:Catégorie:Race de chat]] [[ko:분류:고양이 품종]] [[he:קטגוריה:גזעי חתולים]] [[la:Categoria:Genus felis]] [[lb:Category:Kazerassen]] [[lt:Kategorija:Kačių veislės]] [[nl:Categorie:Kattenras]] [[ja:Category:猫の品種]] [[no:Kategori:Katteraser]] [[pl:Kategoria:Rasy kotów]] [[pt:Categoria:Raças de gatos]] [[ru:Категория:Породы кошек]] [[sk:Kategória:Plemená mačiek]] [[fi:Luokka:Kissarodut]] [[sv:Kategori:Kattraser]] [[tr:Kategori:Kedi ırkları]] [[uk:Категорія:Породи кішок]] [[zh:Category:貓品種]] 5223 554990 2007-10-13T14:17:16Z Creol 5738 taxo info {{commons|category:Cats|Cats}} These articles are about [[cat|domestic cats]].

The word ''cattle'' is in the plural, meaning "some cattle" or "many cattle". There is no way of saying "one cattle", except to say "cow" or "bull" or "ox". Cattle are large grass-eating animals with hoofs that are divided into two parts. They have horns which are a simple shape, usually curved upwards but sometimes down. They usually stay together in groups called ''herds''. One male, called a ''bull'' will usually have a number of female ''cows'' in a herd. The cows give birth to one ''calf'' a year. The ''calves'' have long strong legs and can walk a few minutes after they are born, so they can follow the herd. Cattle are native to most tropical and subtropical parts of the world except Australia and New Zealand. Cattle have been [[Domestication|domesticated]] for about 7,000 years. They are used for milk, for meat, for transport and for power. ==Word use== [[Image:Aaaacattle.jpg|thumb|200px|Watusi cattle are herded in Africa.]] The word ''cattle'' has been used in English for about 1,000 years and the meaning has changed. In books that are written in ''Old English'', such as the [[King James Version]] of the [[Bible]], the word is used for all sorts of farm animals, including horses, sheep and goats. The word comes from the ''Old French'' word, '''chattels''', meaning all the things that a person owns. The word ''cattle'' is used for some wild animals as well as for [[Domestication|domesticated]] cattle. Wild cattle include the [[Water Buffalo]] from South East Asia, the [[Musk Ox]] and[[Yak]] from Central Asia, the [[Bison]] of North America and Europe and the [[African Buffalo]]. The last [[Auroch]]s, wild cattle of Europe, were killed in [[Masovia]], Poland in 1627. * This article uses the word ''cattle'' in the modern way. * This article is about the ''domestic'' farm animal, and not the wild cattle which are still found in some parts of the world. [[Image:BIrkholm.3.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Danish Red cows and calves.]] ===Cattle vocabulary=== A male is called a ''bull''. A female is called a ''cow''. A baby is called a ''calf''. Two or more babies are ''calves''. A young female that has not had a calf is called a ''heifer'', (pronounced "heffer"). Because many cows will form a herd with one bull, most male cattle are used for meat. They are ''castrated'' by removing the testicles. A castrated male is called a ''steer'' or an ''ox''. ''Steer'' is the usual word for beef cattle. ''Ox'' is the usual word for working cattle. The adjective that is used to describe something that is like a cow or an ox is "bovine". The words "cow", "bull" and "calf" are also used to describe some other large animals that are not related to cattle, such as [[elephant]]s, [[moose]] and [[whale]]s. ==Biology== [[Image:Schotse hooglander.JPG|thumb|200px|Highland Cattle are adapted to cold weather.]] Cattle can be found across the world, from snowy Scotland to the dry inland of Australia. Different types of cattle are suited to different environments. Their large wide hoofs are good in both wet areas and dry grassland. Their hairy coat grows much longer in the winter and has an extra fluffy layer to hold the warmth. Most cattle do not sweat, but their wet nose is a cooling system. Cattle can make a range of noises, usually a gentle "Moo!" When they are angry or upset, they can bellow loudly. Cattle are [[grass]]-eating animals. They are [[ruminant]]s which means that they have more than one [[stomach]] and they digest their food very well. Cattle have very strong tongues and strong lower front teeth that help them to eat grass. After a cow has eaten and is resting, they return the grass from their stomach to their mouth and grind it with their very large back teeth to get all the nourishment from it. This is called "chewing the cud". Other ruminants like deer also do this. It means that cattle do not need as much food as horses, even though they are about the same size. [[Image:Vache herens.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Young cattle sometimes fight to sort out the order in their herd.]] Female cattle, or cows, have large breasts called "udders" which are under the belly and partly between the back legs. The udder is divided into four parts, each with a large "teat" for feeding the calf. Cows usually make more milk than they need for one calf. If the milk is regularly taken from the cow, be hand or by machine, the cow makes more milk. Cows that have a lot of milk are used as ''dairy cows''. Male cattle, or bulls, can be fierce and dangerous. In the wild, they fight over the herds of cows and use their horns to ''gore'' each other. They also protect the herds from other animals such as wolves, jackals and lions. On farms, bulls are usually quieter and can be led by their owners, but they can be aggressive with other bulls and with strangers who might go near the herd. For this reason, most male cattle are either sent to the butcher while they are still calves or are '' castrated'' so that they are not likely to fight. Young ''steers'', or castrated males, can be safely kept together in herds until they are sent to the market for meat. ==Uses of cattle== [[Image:Cambodia buffaloes in paddy fields.jpg|thumb|200px|Water Buffalo ploughing a rice paddy in Cambodia.]] Ever since people started using cattle in [[Prehistory|Prehistoric]] times, cattle have been seen as a sign of wealth. In many countries today, particularly in Africa and Asia, a person's wealth is judged by the number of cattle they owned. Cattle are very useful animals. Their flesh can be eaten as meat. Their milk can be drunk and turned into cheese and yogurt. Their skin can be used as leather. They can pull carts and plows. They can make the power to turn flour mills or pump water. The food that they eat is not expensive. [[Image:Ayrshire cow.jpg|thumb|200px|thumb|left|A prize-winning Ayrshire dairy cow at a show in England.]] ===Dairy cattle=== Dairy cattle are kept specially for milking. Herds of cows are kept and are regularly mated with a bull, so that they produce calves. This keeps the milk supply going. Cows can be milked by hand, but in many countries where there are large dairies, the cows are milked by ''milking machine''. The milk is collected in [[stainless steel]] containers and is taken by truck to the Milk Factory to be treated so that any germs are killed. The milk is also separated to remove most of the cream. It is then put into bottles or cartons to be sold. Some milk is turned into [[cheese]] and some is turned into [[yogurt]]. The cream is also put into bottles and sold. Milk factories often make [[ice cream]] as well. Large dairy herds are usually kept in places where there is a good supply of grass and the fields are quite small. This is because the cows are brought in for milking every day. [[Image:Friesian-Holstein.jpg|thumb|200px|Friesians are well-known dairy cattle.]] Many types of cattle are used for milk. They include:- * the Holstein-Friesian, which is black and white with short inward-curving horns. * the Ayshire, which is very large, red and white with long up-curving horns. * the Australian Illawarra Shorthorn, which is usually red with short inward-curving horns. * the Jersey, which is small and dun-colored with black legs and eye patches. They do not give as much milk as the other breeds, but it is famous for the amount of cream. * the Guernsey, which is pale red and white, and also give a lot of cream. * the Swiss, which is short-legged and grey, and famous for the sweetness of its milk. [[Image:GANADO VACUNO PASTANDO EN GARGANTA.jpg|thumb|left|200px|In many places owning cattle is a sign of wealth.]] ===Beef cattle=== Beef cattle are kept specifically to provide meat. ''Steers'' are the best for this purpose because they can be kept in herds, without fighting each other. The cows of beef cattle are used to raise calves for meat. They are not usually used for milk, although some types of cattle, such as the ''Red Devon'' are used for both. Beef cattle can be let loose to graze over a big area, because they don't have to be brought in every day like dairy cattle. The biggest farms in the world are ''cattle stations'' in Australia, [[ranching|''ranches'']] in North America and ''ranchos'' in Latin America where they run beef cattle. Until the mid 20th century, beef cattle were often sent to market ''on the hoof''. [[Cowboy]]s or [[droving|drovers]] would herd the cattle along the roads to the cattle markets in big towns. In Australia, sometimes the cattle would travel for hundreds of miles along roads known as [[Travelling Stock Route]]s. Big herds would have thousands of ''head of cattle''. (Cattle are counted by the "head".) Nowadays cattle are usually sent to the market in huge lorries known as ''road-trains''. [[Image:Symons-cattle.jpg|thumb|200px|A Symonds bull used for breeding beef cattle.]] The meat of a young beast is called ''veal'' and from an older beast, ''beef''. Meat that is cut into flat pieces for frying or grilling is called ''steak''. Every part of a beast can be used. The skin becomes leather. The meat which is not used by humans becomes pet food and everything that is left over becomes garden [[fertilizer]]. Types of cattle that are used for beef:- * Hereford, which are large red and white cattle, with white faces and spreading horns. Some Herefords have no horns. * Aberdeen Angus, which are small black cattle. Hereford heifers are often mated with an Angus bull so that their first calf is small and easy to give birth to. * Brahmans are very large cattle originating in Asia. Unlike most cattle they have humps to store food and can sweat in hot weather. Brahmans are often crossed with other breeds to give Brahfords and Brangus. [[Image:Sugar cane.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Brahman steers with a load of sugar cane in India.]] ===Oxen=== ''Oxen'' are cattle trained as work animals. The word "ox" is used to describe just one. They are usually [[castration|castrated]] males (steers), but in many poor countries, dairy cows are also used for work. Usually, an ox is over four years old and grown to full size when it begins to work. Oxen are used for pulling [[plowing|plows]] and [[wagon]]s, for hauling heavy loads like logs, for grinding grain by trampling it or for powering different machines such as mills and [[irrigation]] pumps. [[Image:Texas longhorn.jpg|thumb|200px|Texas Longhorn steers were used to pull heavy wagons in the USA.]] Oxen are most often used in teams of two for light work such as plowing. In past days, very large teams of fourteen to twenty oxen were used for heavy work such as logging. The oxen are put into pairs and each pair must work together. A wooden [[yoke]] is put about the neck of each pair, so that the work is shared across their shoulders. Oxen are chosen from calves with horns, since the horns hold the yoke in place when the oxen lower their heads, back up or slow down. Oxen must be trained from a young age. The owner must make or buy as many as a dozen yokes of different sizes as the animals grow. Ox teams are steered by shouted commands, whistles or the noise of a [[whip]] crack. Men who drove ox teams were called [[teamsters]] in America, [[wagoners]] in Britain, or in Australia, ''bullockies''. Many bullockies and teamsters were famous for their voices and for their foul language. Oxen can pull harder and longer than [[horse]]s, especially for very large loads. They are not as fast as horses, but they are less often injured. Many oxen are still in use all over the world, especially in poor countries. <br clear=all/> ==Traditions== [[Image:In Tibet, yaks are decorated and honored by the families they are part of.jpg|thumb|200px|In Tibet, the Yaks are treated with honour by their owners.]] * According to [[Hinduism]], the cow is [[holy]], and should not be [[eating|eaten]]: "the cow is our [[Mother]], for she gives us her milk." See: [[sacred cow]]. * In [[Portugal]], [[Spain]] and some [[Latin America]]n countries, bulls are used for the [[sport]] of [[bullfighting]]. In many other countries, this is illegal. * A mistaken idea about cattle (mostly bulls) is that they become angry when they see the color red]. This is not correct. Cattle cannot see tell red from green[[color]]s, and probably have limited other color vision. This mistake comes from Matadors (bull-fighters), that have always used red cloth to make bulls attack, in Spanish-speaking culture. But really, red is only used as a [[tradition]]. The movement of the cape is why bulls attack. *The ox is one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the [[Chinese zodiac]] related to the [[Chinese calendar]]. See: [[Ox (Zodiac)]]. *The constellation [[Taurus]] represents a bull. ==Some close-up pictures== <gallery> Image:Cow portrait.jpg|A cow's face has thick hair, wide mouth for eating grass, wet nose, big eyes with long lashes, large ears that can turn, and horns - photo Pikaluk.

It is usually [[short]] (small in height), but long from front to back and with short legs. “Dachshund” is a German word that is used in English, and it means “badger dog.” (In German, dachshunds are called ''Dackel'' or ''Teckel''.) The breed was developed to [[scent|use its sense of smell to find]], [[chase]], and [[hunting|hunt]] [[badger (animal)|badger]]s and other animals that live in holes. A dachshund has a long, narrow body, so it is sometimes called a ''wiener dog'', ''hot dog'', or ''sausage dog''. Some people believe that using those words does not show respect. ==Appearance (looks)== [[Image:MiniDachshund1 wb.jpg|thumb|left|Black-and-tan miniature dachshund, smooth coat]] Today, dachshunds have crooked legs, loose skin, and a barrel-like chest. Over time, breeders selected dogs so that those features would appear in puppies. That way, dachshunds could do a better job of burrowing into tight spaces. Another feature is a long tail. The coat or fur of a dachshund comes in three kinds – smooth or short-haired, long-haired, and wire-haired. The wire-haired dachshund usually is shorter front to back than the other two. ===Size=== A fully-grown dachshund weighs between 16 and 28 lb. (7 to 12.7 kg), while the miniature dachshund may weigh less than 11 lb. (5 kg). The writer [[H. L. Mencken]] said that “A dachshund is a half-dog high and a dog-and-a-half long.” ===Coat (fur) and color=== Dachshund fur comes in many colours. The colors that are most common are red (a brown color that looks a little reddish) and black-and-tan (black body with brown parts). There are solid black and solid chocolate-brown dachshunds. Many people think those dachshunds are handsome, but the colors are not standard or official – that is, you cannot enter those dogs in some dog shows. == Temperament (mood or emotions) == Dachshunds are playful, fun dogs. People know that dachshunds like to chase small animals and birds, and when they chase those animals they do it ferociously (without fear and very intensely). Many dachshunds are strong-headed or stubborn, and that means they can be hard to train. Dachshunds are often very loyal to their owners (devoted to their owners, or very interested in their owners). In fact, they can be much more loyal than other kinds of dogs. But wire-haired dachshunds often do not show that kind of loyalty to their owners. People know that dachshunds have deep and tender eyes, and that dachshunds have many facial expressions (dachshunds can communicate just with the look on their faces). == Health == [[Image:Dachshund.jpg|thumb|left|Wire-haired dachshund]] Dachshunds often have spinal problems, that is, their backbone can become injured. That is because of the dog’s very long [[spinal column]] and short rib cage. The problems are usually hereditary (genetic), that is, they are passed down from parent dogs to puppies. A dachshund that is obese (fat) can have a higher risk of getting injured. That is because the extra weight puts more strain on the backbone ([[vertebra|vertebrae]]). To prevent injury, dachshunds should not climb stairs or jump unless they really have to. It is also important to hold the dog the right way – by holding up the front and the rear parts of the body at all times. == History == [[Image:DachshundEgypt.png|left|]] Some people have wondered if dachshunds go back to [[ancient Egypt]]. People have found drawings and engravings from ancient Egypt that show hunting dogs with short legs. But the dachshund of today was bred in [[Europe]], and it has parts of [[Germany|German]], [[France|French]], and [[England|English]] hounds and [[terrier]]s. Kings and queens all over Europe have had dachshunds. [[Victoria of the United Kingdom|Queen Victoria]] especially liked dachshunds. ==Other websites== *[http://www.dachshund-dca.org/ Dachshund Club of America, Inc.] *[http://www.dachshund.org.au/ National Dachshund Council (of Australia)] *[http://home.intekom.com/dachshund/ South African Dachshund Club] *[http://www.dachshundclub.co.uk/ The Dachshund Club (UK)] [[Category:Dog breeds|Dachshund]] [[bg:Дакел]] [[ca:Teckel]] [[da:Gravhund]] [[de:Dackel]] [[en:Dachshund]] [[es:Dachshund]] [[eo:Melhundo]] [[fr:Teckel]] [[id:Dachshund]] [[it:Bassotto]] [[lt:Taksas]] [[hu:Tacskó]] [[nl:Dashond]] [[ja:ダックスフント]] [[no:Dachs]] [[pl:Jamnik]] [[pt:Dachshund]] [[ro:Teckel]] [[ru:Такса]] [[sk:Jazvečík]] [[sr:Јазавичар]] [[fi:Mäyräkoira]] [[sv:Tax]] [[th:ดัชชุน]] [[tr:Dakhund]] [[zh:腊肠犬]] 23522 117579 2006-03-31T18:54:37Z Aflm 1628 #redirect [[Cattle]] #redirect [[Cattle]] 42358 237995 2006-11-17T16:10:39Z Eptalon 2133 no self-references, please. #REDIRECT[[Jagdterrier]] 57538 592790 2007-11-17T13:39:38Z VolkovBot 8326 robot Adding: [[id:Dingo]] {{Taxobox | color = pink | name = Dingo | status = VU | trend = down | status_system = iucn3.1 | status_ref = <ref name="iucn">{{IUCN2006|assessors=Corbett|year=2004|id=41585|title=Canis lupus ssp. dingo|downloaded=11 May 2006}} Database entry includes justification for why this subspecies is vulnerable </ref> | image = Dingo3.jpg | regnum = [[Animal]]ia | phylum = [[Chordate|Chordata]] | classis = [[Mammal]]ia | ordo = [[Carnivora]] | familia = [[Canidae]] | genus = ''[[Canis]]'' | species = ''[[wolf|C. lupus]]'' | subspecies = '''''C. l. dingo''''' | trinomial = ''Canis lupus dingo'' | trinomial_authority = ([[Friedrich Albrecht Anton Meyer|Meyer]], [[1793]]) | range_map = Dingo-map.png | range_map_width = 200px | range_map_caption = Dingo range }} A '''dingo''' is a type of wild [[dog]] in the South Pacific and is usually associated with [[Australia]].

It has been [[domestication|domesticated]] by humans for a long time. Its other name is canis familiaris. It can be a [[pet]], because it is usually friendly and noble to humans. They are sometimes called "canines" from the [[Latin language|Latin]] word for dog - ''canis''. Sometimes people also use "dog" to refer to other [[canid]]s, such as [[wolf|wolves]]. A baby dog is called a '''pup''' or '''puppy'''. A dog is called a puppy until it is about one year old. Children may call dogs "doggies". Dogs can smell and hear very well, but can not see well in [[colour]] or they are colour blind. dogs can hear from a distance of 5000 or more meters away. The usual life span of a dog from pup to an adult is about 10 years or more. The size and the breed of the dog may change how long the dog lives. Smaller dog breeds usually live longer. Like wolves, wild dogs travel in groups called [[pack (canine)|packs]]. Packs of dogs are ordered by rank, and dogs with low rank will submit to other dogs with higher rank. The highest ranked dog is called the [[alpha male]]. A dog in a group helps and cares about others. Dogs have lived with people for at least 14,000 years. Dogs can serve people in many ways. They are often called "man's best [[friend]]". For example, there are [[guard dog]]s, [[hunting dog]]s, [[herding dog]]s, and [[guide dog]]s for [[blind]] people. There are also dogs that are trained to smell for diseases in the human body, drugs, and bombs. Dogs have even been sent by [[Russia|Russians]] into [[outer space]], a few years before any human being. There are at least 400 [[list of dog breeds|breeds]] (kinds) of dogs. Dogs whose parents were the same breed will also be that breed: these dogs are called [[purebred]] or pure [[pedigree]] dogs. Dogs with parents from different breeds no longer belong to one breed: they are called ''mutts'', ''[[mixed-breed dog]]s'', ''[[hybrid]]s'', or ''mongrels''. Some of the most popular breeds are sheepdogs, collies, poodles and retrievers. It is becoming popular to be breed two different breeds of dogs and calling the new dog's breed a name that is a mixture of the parents' breeds' two names. A puppy with a poodle and a pomeranian as parents might be called a Pomapoo. These kinds of dogs, instead of being called mutts, are known as designer breeds. ==See also== {| align=right | {{wikispecies|Canis lupus familiaris|Dog}} |- | {{commonscat|Dogs}} |} *[[Canidae]] *[[List of dog breeds]] [[Category:Basic English 850 words]] [[Category:Dogs| ]] [[Category:Pets]] <!-- interwiki --> [[af:Hond]] [[ar:كلب]] [[an:Can]] [[ast:Perru]] [[ay:Anu]] [[bm:Wùlù]] [[bn:কুকুর]] [[zh-min-nan:Káu]] [[bo:ཁྱི་]] [[br:Ki]] [[bg:Домашно куче]] [[ca:Gos]] [[cs:Pes domácí]] [[cy:Ci]] [[da:Hund]] [[pdc:Hund]] [[de:Haushund]] [[nv:Łééchąąʼí]] [[et:Koer]] [[el:Σκύλος]] [[eml:Can]] [[en:Dog]] [[es:Canis lupus familiaris]] [[eo:Hundo]] [[eu:Txakur]] [[ee:Avu]] [[fa:سگ]] [[fr:Chien]] [[fur:Cjan]] [[gd:Cù]] [[gl:Can]] [[got:𐌷𐌿𐌽𐌳𐍃]] [[hak:Kiéu-è]] [[ko:개]] [[hr:Domaći pas]] [[io:Hundo]] [[id:Anjing]] [[ia:Can]] [[xh:Inja]] [[zu:Inja]] [[is:Hundur]] [[it:Canis lupus familiaris]] [[he:כלב]] [[jv:Asu]] [[ka:ძაღლი]] [[ht:Chen]] [[la:Canis]] [[lv:Suns]] [[lb:Haushond]] [[lij:Can]] [[lt:Šuo]] [[hu:Kutya]] [[ml:നായ]] {{Link FA|ml}} [[mr:कुत्रा]] [[ms:Anjing]] [[cdo:Kēng]] [[nah:Itzcuintli]] [[nl:Hond]] [[nds-nl:Hond]] [[cr:ᐊᑎᒻ]] [[ja:イヌ]] [[no:Tamhund]] {{Link FA|no}} [[nn:Hund]] [[nrm:Tchian]] [[oc:Canis lupus familiaris]] [[pl:Pies domowy]] [[pt:Cão]] [[ro:Câine]] [[qu:Allqu]] [[ru:Собака домашняя]] [[sm:Maile]] [[scn:Cani]] [[sk:Pes domáci]] [[sl:Domači pes]] [[sr:Пас]] [[sh:Pas]] [[fi:Koira]] [[sv:Hund]] [[tl:Aso]] [[ta:நாய்]] [[te:కుక్క]] [[th:สุนัข]] [[vi:Chó]] [[tg:Саг]] [[chr:ᎩᏟ]] [[chy:Oeškeso]] [[tr:Köpek]] [[uk:Собака]] [[fiu-vro:Pini]] [[yi:הונט]] [[zh-yue:狗]] [[bat-smg:Šou]] [[zh:犬]] 20335 93215 2006-01-29T15:23:59Z Netoholic 515 #redirect [[List of dog breeds]] #redirect [[List of dog breeds]] 17678 77079 2005-12-15T04:51:33Z 24.17.48.241 #REDIRECT [[Pet door]] #REDIRECT [[Pet door]] 17679 77080 2005-12-15T04:52:03Z 24.17.48.241 #REDIRECT [[Pet door]] #REDIRECT [[Pet door]] 18137 544706 2007-10-03T18:19:05Z Alboblood 12182 Redirecting to [[Dog]] #REDIRECT [[Dog]] <!-- Begin Infobox Dogbreed.

The breed has a "highly" protective nature. In the absence of a flock of sheep, the Shar Dog will often treat its humans as sheep - herding them away from danger or undesirable areas. They are serene and majestic, gentle with children and smaller dogs. They are also highly intelligent and bred to survive without human supervision while guarding the flocks in the high pastures. Young pups can denude a property of small animals until trained not to hunt. ==History== [[Image:Ilyrian_shepherd(Qeni_i_Sharrit).jpg|thumb|left|Ilyrian Shepherd comes from Kosova Mountains]] Sharr Mountain Dog comes from the hart of Shar Mountains(Ilyria now Kosova and Albania) where only the warriors can survive."When the Ilyrian Shepherd takes control of the sheeps all the problems from predators are gone" is a breed of Antiquity, believed by many to be one of, if not the oldest true Molosser in the world. There's an old Albanian folk legend that says the breed remembers the time when everything used to be under water except for the highest mountains, implying the connection to the Biblical flood, but more likely referring historically to the period when the entire region was covered by the Pannonian Sea.It is the Balkans where Molossers come from, having spread on all sides of the world thousands of years ago, influencing the establishment of most modern mastiff and shepherd dog breeds, leading some to conclude that the Shar Mountain This breed was formerly named the Illyrian Shepherd Dog when first recognized by the F.C.I. in 1939. Dog is the oldest dog of this type.This breed is most commonly associated with the Shar Mountains region which is how it got its name. ===Working life=== Sharr Mountain Dog is a reserved and intuitive breed, naturally stubborn and undemonstrative, but once properly trained and handled with authority, it excels at a variety of tasks. Dog-aggression and wariness of strangers are common traits of the Ilyrian Shepherd, which is why early socialization is of utmost importance. But this is also a breed of intelligence and immense loyalty to its owner, as well as genuine love of children, making it an agreeable companion dog. Ilyrian Shepherd is one of rare dog breeds which can confront and take down a [[wolf]] or a [[bear]].

When the kind was first created, they were used for [[hunt]]ing. Now, they are sometimes used for hunting, but a lot of people like to have them as [[pet]]s because they are very [[friendly]]. People also like them because their [[face]] looks like they are [[smile|smiling]] all the time. Because they are so friendly, Golden Retrievers cannot be used as [[guard dog]]s, but they are good as [[drug dog]]s at [[airport]]s and very good as service dogs for the [[blind]] (People who cannot see). They also like people, so when they are left alone for too long, they get very [[sad]] and can ===About Goldens=== Golden Retrievers are very good [[family]] dogs because they are nice to little [[children]] and do not [[bark]] very much. Goldens are known for their calm and easy going temperament. They are great family dogs and provide good companionship. They are very smart and can be easily trained. Golden Retrievers are very active dogs and need a lot of exercise. Goldens are good pets, but they need to be exercised regularly to prevent weight gain and promote overall health. Goldens also enjoy the cool water. ====Looks==== A good Golden Retriever has a nice, [[wikt:strong|strong]] [[body]] and long [[hair]] that is [[yellow]] or [[gold]]. Their fur even stops [[water]] because it has two special layers, one short and one long. They always have [[brown]] [[eye]]s and can show a lot of [[emotion]]s with them. When they get [[old]], their face turns [[white]], but when they are [[wikt:young|young]], they should not have any white on them. A normal [[male]] dog weighs about 29 to 34 [[kilogram]]mes (65 to 75 [[pound]]s) and a normal [[female]] dog weighs about 27 to 32 kilogrammes (60 to 70 pounds). From their [[wikt:front|front]] [[paw]]s to their upper [[back]], they are about 56 to 61 [[centimetre]]s (22 to 25 [[inch]]es) [[tall]]. ====Activities==== As said earlier, Goldens are used a lot for people who cannot see, but they are also used for [[obedience]] trials and as assistant dogs for people who have [[seizure]]s or cannot [[hear]]. They are very good at [[Olfaction|smelling]] things, so they are also good for hunting. The second part of their name, retriever, is very [[true]] because they love to fetch things for their people! Goldens love to catch [[tennis ball]]s and [[frisbee]]s. Goldens also enjoy the water. ====Kinds==== There are two different kinds of Golden Retrievers: [[show dog]]s and [[field dog]]s. Show dogs have very long hair and a lighter [[colour]], but field dogs have a lot more differences. They have short hair and can have any shade of hair. Because they have shorter hair, it is easier to [[brush]] them because they do not get as many things caught in it. ====Health==== Like a lot of [[Purebreed|purebred]] dogs, Goldens can have bad [[health]]. A big problem for Goldens is [[hip dysplasia]], which makes the dog's [[bone]]s hurt at its [[hip]]s. Also, a lot of Goldens have [[skin]] [[Allergy|allergies]], so people have to be very careful to not [[wash]] the dog too much and make sure that it does not get [[flea]]s. It is also important to clean a Goldens ears regularly because their long ears do not give the ear canal a chance to breathe. Goldens also have problems with their eyes sometimes, but it's mostly when they get older.It is important when purchasing a new Golden Retriever puppy to review the medical history of their parents. Oftentimes "backyard breeders" have been known to over breed or breed dogs with health problems. A reputable breeder should be able to supply the most current heatlth records for the dogs which they are breeding. ===History=== Golden Retrievers were developed by a man named [[Lord Tweedsmouth]] who lived in [[Scotland]]. He took a yellow dog and another dog called a [[Tweed Water Spaniel]], which is a dog that does not exist anymore. The yellow dog was named Nous and the Spaniel was named Belle, and all Golden Retrievers are related to these two dogs. The breed was created to be stronger than other retrievers but more [[gentle]] with people so they could be [[train]]ed very easily. In 1903, the breed was added to the list of the [[Kennel Club]] of [[England]], but it was not added to the list of the [[American Kennel Club]] until 1932. Now, there are millions of Goldens around the world, and people love them! *[http://www.goldenretriever83.fr] Golden Retriever France "Hubac de Gaget" {{commons|Golden Retriever}} [[Category:Dog breeds]] [[bg:Голдън ретрийвър]] [[cs:Zlatý retrívr]] [[da:Golden retriever]] [[de:Golden Retriever]] [[en:Golden Retriever]] [[es:Golden Retriever]] [[eo:Orkolora reporthundo]] [[fr:Golden Retriever]] [[hr:Zlatni retriver]] [[is:Gullinsækir]] [[it:Golden Retriever]] [[he:גולדן רטריבר]] [[la:Avifer aureus]] [[hu:Golden retriever]] [[ml:ഗോള്‍ഡന്‍ റിട്രീവര്‍]] [[nl:Golden retriever]] [[ja:ゴールデン・レトリバー]] [[no:Golden retriever]] [[nn:Golden retriever]] [[pl:Golden Retriever]] [[pt:Golden Retriever]] [[ru:Золотистый ретривер]] [[sk:Zlatý retríver]] [[sl:Zlati prinašalec]] [[sr:Златни ретривер]] [[fi:Kultainennoutaja]] [[sv:Golden retriever]] [[tr:Golden Retriever]] [[zh-yue:金毛尋回犬]] [[zh:黃金獵犬]] 18601 82952 2006-01-03T21:46:31Z Netoholic 515 [[Golden Retriver]] moved to [[Golden Retriever]]: merging histories #REDIRECT [[Golden Retriever]] 21630 696497 2008-01-23T20:28:10Z Razorflame 13132 Undid an earlier change by [[Special:Contributions/170.161.67.42|170.161.67.42]] ([[User talk:170.161.67.42|talk]]) (revision 696494) [[Image:Goldfish.jpg|thumb|right|Typical Goldfish]] '''Goldfish''' are [[pet]] [[fish]] that live in bowls or [[aquarium]]s. Goldfish belong to the [[Carp]] family, and were domesticated in [[China]] in the [[17th century]]. They can reach up to 59 [[centimeter|cm]] in size, and 3 [[kilogram|kg]] in weight. This is very rare though, and most goldfish grow to half that size. In captivity, goldfish can live for up to 20 years. In the aquarium or fishtank, however, most will die earlier because their tank is much too small. Goldfish need a lot of space so they have room to [[swim]] and so the water does not get dirty too fast. It is also said that goldfish have very short memories, but people have proved that this is not true. One person trained a goldfish to kick a small ball under water and another trained a goldfish to swim through a maze. There are many kinds of goldfish. The most common kind is golden-colored, but goldfish come in lots of different shapes and sizes. Another common kind is called a black moor, which is black colored. Goldfish are very sensitive and should not be alerted. {{stub}} [[Category:Bony fish]] [[Category:pets]] <!-- interwiki --> [[zh-min-nan:Kim-hî]] [[da:Guldfisk]] [[de:Goldfisch]] [[en:Goldfish]] [[es:Carassius auratus]] [[eo:Orfiŝo (fiŝo)]] [[fr:Poisson rouge]] [[ko:금붕어]] [[it:Carassius auratus]] [[he:דג זהב]] [[nl:Goudvis]] [[ja:キンギョ]] [[no:Gullfisk]] [[pl:Złota rybka]] [[pt:Carassius auratus]] [[ru:Золотые рыбки]] [[sr:Златни караш]] [[fi:Kultakala]] [[sv:Guldfisk]] [[tl:Goldfish]] [[tg:Моҳии заррин]] [[tr:Japon balığı]] [[yi:גאלדפיש]] [[zh:金鱼]] 37366 585550 2007-11-10T21:02:29Z BotMultichill 9540 robot Modifying: [[th:เกรตเดน]] [[Image:Dogi niemieckie pręgowane 53 copy.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Two Great Danes]] The '''Great Dane''' is a large [[breed]] of [[dog]], around 2.5 ft or taller at the shoulder.

They are sometimes called "Seeing Eye" dogs. Guide dogs are one type of [[assistance animal]]s, which are animals trained to help people with a [[disability]] to lead more complete lives. The blind person (sometimes called a "handler") and the dog need to work together. Both the dog and the handler must take special training to learn how to work as a team. The handler needs to let the guide dog know the direction they want to go. The dog can lead the person around things that may be dangerous, such as moving cars or other things. Also, guide dogs may be taught to press buttons to work [[elevator]]s or get things for their handler. Because dogs cannot see colors as well as people, they cannot read [[traffic signal]]s, so the handler must use ways to tell if it is safe to scross a street. Because the guide dog and handler will be in public, it is important that the dog stays calm in busy or loud areas. In many countries, guide dogs are allowed inside places where animals normally are not allowed, such as [[restaurant]]s, stores, [[bus|buses]] and [[train]]s. ==History== [[Germany]] started the first guide dog schools during [[World War 1]], to help soldiers who were blinded in the war. By 1931, schools and organizations such as [http://www.seeingeye.org/ The Seeing Eye] in [[Morristown, New Jersey]] in the [[United States]] and the [[British Guide Dog Association]] in the [[United Kingdom]] were founded. ==See also== [[Blindness]] [[Category:Dogs]] [[de:Blindenführhund]] [[en:Guide dog]] [[eo:Gvidhundo]] [[fr:Chien guide d'aveugle]] [[ko:안내견]] [[is:Blindrahundur]] [[he:כלב נחייה]] [[nl:Geleidehond]] [[ja:盲導犬]] [[no:Førerhund]] [[pt:Cão-guia]] [[fi:Opaskoira]] [[zh:導盲犬]] 13589 594953 2007-11-19T11:43:42Z Barliner 11132 Reverted edits by [[Special:Contributions/217.33.74.20|217.33.74.20]] ([[User talk:217.33.74.20|talk]]) to last version by Creol [[Image:Guinea 1.jpg|thumb|right|Guinea Pigs]] '''Guinea Pigs''' are small animals. They are [[mammal]]s. Their [[science|scientific]] name is ''Cavia porcellus''. They are also called ''cavies''. ''Porcellus'' is [[Latin language|Latin]] for ''little pig''. But Guinea Pigs are not [[pig]]s, nor are they from [[Guinea]]. ==Guinea pigs as pets== In many parts of the world, people keep them as [[pet]]s. In [[Peru]], [[Bolivia]], and several other countries, they are grown for [[food]]. The first people who domesticated the animals, did it for food. Beside a pet, and a source of food, guinea pigs are also thought to keep bad spirits away (At least in those regions). In [[Quechua language|Quechua]], the language of some the native [[tribe]]s of Peru, they are called ''quivi''. The Spanish-speaking people of the region call them ''cuy'' (plural: ''cuyes''). ==Name== This perception of pigginess occurred in many languages other than [[English language|English]]; the [[German language|German]] word for them is ''[[Wiktionary:Meerschweinchen|Meerschweinchen]]'', literally "Little Sea Pigs" (sailing ships stopping to reprovision in the New World would pick up stores of guinea pigs, which provided an easily transportable source of fresh meat), the [[Russian language|Russian]] and [[Polish language|Polish]] word for them is similar, "morskaya svinka" (Морская свинка) and "świnka morska" respectively, meaning also "Little Sea Pig" (it comes from archaic use of the word to mean "overseas"). The [[French language|French]] word is ''[[Wiktionary:Cochon d'Inde|Cochon d'Inde]]'', (Indian pig), the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] used to call it ''[[Wiktionary:nl:cavia|guinees biggetje]]'' (Guinean piglet), and in Norway, Sweden and Denmark they are called ''[[Wiktionary:marsvin|marsvin]]'' (a combination of the Latin word [[mare]] for ocean, and Norwegian/Swedish/Danish ''svin'' which means pig). In [[Greek language|Greek]] they are called 'indika xoiridia' (Small Indian Pigs ; ινδικά χοιρίδια), and in [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], the term is "porquinho da Índia", literally "little pig of the Indies". In [[Italian language|Italian]] the term is either "Porcellino D'India" (Little Indian Pig) or "Cavia Peruviana" (Peruvian Cavy). However, this perception of pigginess is not universal to all languages or cultures. For example, the common Spanish word is 'conejillo de Indias' (Indian bunny rabbit). ==Breeding guinea pigs== Guinea pigs need large open air [[cage]]s in which to romp and frolic. They should have a diet of 1/8 cup of high quality pellets like kmshayloft or oxbow. They should also have unlimited grass hay, and at least one cup of a variety of veggies.Guinea pigs like to be held in hand. ==Other uses of the word== Guinea pig is also [[slang]] for a person who is the first to try something. It can also mean the subject of an [[experiment]]. This is because guinea pigs are used by [[scientist]]s to do [[biology]] experiments. {{wikispecies|Cavia (Caviinae)}} {{commonscat|Cavia}} {{stub}} [[Category:rodents]] [[Category:pets]] <!-- interwiki --> {{link FA|en}} {{link FA|nl}} [[da:Marsvin (gnaver)]] [[de:Hausmeerschweinchen]] [[en:Guinea pig]] [[es:Cavia porcellus]] [[eo:Kobayo]] [[fr:Cochon d'Inde]] [[lv:Jūrascūciņa]] [[nl:Huiscavia]] [[ja:テンジクネズミ]] [[pl:Świnka morska]] [[pt:Cobaia]] [[sl:Morski prašiček]] [[fi:Marsu]] [[sv:Marsvin]] 24248 118120 2006-04-03T03:39:37Z Freshstart 2077 #REDIRECT [[hamster]] #REDIRECT [[hamster]] 14973 555349 2007-10-13T19:03:22Z Oysterguitarist 10495 comment out genera {{Taxobox | color = pink | name = Hamsters | fossil_range = Middle [[Miocene]] - Recent | image = Hamster Ruso.jpg | image_caption = Campbell's Dwarf Hamster | regnum = [[Animal]]ia | phylum = [[Chordate|Chordata]] | classis = [[Mammal]]ia | ordo = [[Rodent]]ia | subordo = [[Myomorpha]] | superfamilia = [[Muroidea]] | familia = [[Cricetidae]] <!-- | subfamilia = '''Cricetinae''' | subfamilia_authority = [[Johann Fischer von Waldheim|Fischer de Waldheim]], 1817 | subdivision_ranks = Genera | subdivision = ''[[Mesocricetus]]''<br> ''[[Phodopus]]''<br> ''[[Cricetus]]''<br> ''[[Cricetulus]]''<br> ''[[Allocricetulus]]''<br> ''[[Cansumys]]''<br> ''[[Tscherskia]]'' --> }} A '''hamster''' is a small furry animal (a [[rodent]]) that is a bit like a [[mouse]] or a [[ferret]]. Wild hamsters live in the desert, but people all over the world keep [[domestication|domesticated]] hamsters as pets. There are four main types of them: the Syrian hamster (the kind most people have as pets), the Russian dwarf hamster, the Chinese hamster, and the Roborovski hamster. One kind of Syrian hamster is called the ''golden hamster''. All golden hamsters are the descendants of 12 [[baby]] hamsters found in [[Syria]] in [[1930]]. Pet hamsters like to live in cages with wood shavings or sawdust on the bottom, and eat mostly special hamster food sold at a pet store, but they will also eat almost any vegetables. They need a special water bottle to drink from and something to chew on to trim their teeth, which grow constantly. Wooden blocks can be used for this, but toilet paper rolls and pieces of cardboard will also work. Most hamsters also have a [[wheel]] to run on for exercise, although some people get other kinds of exercise equipment for their hamsters, like an empty ball that the hamster can roll around the floor or a long network of tubes for it to crawl through. {{wikispecies|Cricetinae}} {{commonscat|Cricetinae}} [[Category:rodents]] [[Category:pets]] [[da:Hamster]] [[de:Hamster]] [[en:Hamster]] [[es:Cricetinae]] [[eo:Hamstro]] [[fr:Hamster]] [[gd:Hamstair]] [[gl:Hamster]] [[ko:햄스터]] [[hr:Hrčci]] [[io:Hamstro]] [[id:Hamster]] [[it:Cricetinae]] [[la:Cricetus]] [[hu:Közönséges hörcsög]] [[nl:Hamsters]] [[ja:ハムスター]] [[no:Hamstre]] [[nn:Hamster]] [[pl:Chomik]] [[pt:Hamster]] [[ru:Хомяковые]] [[sl:Hrčki]] [[sr:Хрчак]] [[fi:Hamsterit]] [[sv:Hamstrar]] [[tr:Altın hamster]] [[yi:האמסטער]] [[zh:仓鼠]] 6668 41348 2004-12-09T05:14:06Z Netoholic 515 #REDIRECT [[cattle]] #REDIRECT [[cattle]] 25447 126242 2006-04-22T01:26:05Z Aflm 1628 #redirect [[Chicken]] #redirect [[Chicken]] 11275 681477 2008-01-15T15:15:30Z Barliner 11132 Reverted changes by [[Special:Contributions/207.241.243.140|207.241.243.140]] ([[User talk:207.241.243.140|talk]]) to last version by Browne34 {{Taxobox | color = pink | name = Domestic Horse | image = Mangalarga Marchador.jpg | image_width = 250px | regnum = [[Animal]]ia | phylum = [[Chordate|Chordata]] | classis = [[Mammal]]ia | ordo = [[Perissodactyla]] | familia = [[Equidae]] | genus = ''[[Equus (genus)|Equus]]'' | species = '''''E. caballus''''' | binomial = ''Equus caballus'' | binomial_authority = [[Carolus Linnaeus|Linnaeus]], 1758 }} [[Image:Gotlandsruss-slottsskogen-goteborg.jpg|thumb|200px|A group of horses.]] [[Image:Farmer plowing.jpg|thumb|200px|Horses pulling a plough.]] A '''horse''' is a [[mammal]] of the ''[[Equidae]]'' [[family (biology)|family]].

They originated in [[Hungary]] and are excellent [[hunt]]ing dogs. == History == The breed was developed from dogs used by Magyar tribes. Vizslas were owned by sporting nobility of Hungary who used them to hunt with. They were also used to hunt [[deer]], [[wild boar]] and [[wolf]]. The breed was almost wiped out during the [[First World War]] and again in the [[Second World War|Second]]. Dogs were smuggled out of Hungary during the second war and used to [[breed]] in other [[country|countries]]. == Appearence and personality == Hungarian Vizsla's are russet [[gold]]. Some dogs may also have [[small]] [[white]] marks on their [[feet]] and/or [[chest]]. They are active, enthusiastic, friendly. Vizslas need human interaction to stay [[happy]] and therefore do not make good kennel dogs. === Exercise needs === Daily [[exercise]] and [[mental]] [[stimulation]] are needed. Indoors, Vizslas can be quite inactive, preferring to rest beside their owners, whilst others can be quite demanding of attention. Outside they are very active. If Vizslas do not receive sufficient mental and physical exercise, they will become bored, and what they choose to do to amuse themselves will usually be seen by you as destructive - such as digging or chewing.

There are several types of hunting dogs. The major categories of hunting dog include [[hounds]], [[terriers]], [[curs]] type dogs, and [[gun dog]]s. These categories have smaller groups in them that are based on different things the dogs are good at doing. ==Types of hunting dogs== *'''Hounds''': There are two types of hounds, ''sight hounds'' and ''scent hounds''. The difference between them is if they use [[sight]] or [[smell]] to find what they are hunting for. They are often used to hunt [[animal]]s with fur. In America, [[raccoon]], [[coyote]], and large [[predator]]s are hunted with hounds, and traditionally in Britain hounds were used to hunt the [[fox]]. *'''Gun dogs''' are used by hunters using [[shotgun]]s to hunt small animals. Gun dogs come in three main classes. The classes are ''retriever''s, ''flushing spaniels'', and ''pointing breeds''. **Retrievers: The main [[job]] of a retriever is to get the animal after the hunter shoots it. Retrievers are very good in the [[water]] and often used by hunters shooting [[duck]]s. **Flushing spaniels: Flushing spaniels are used when [[bird]]s being hunted are found in areas where they can hide, for example high [[grass]]. The spaniel will run through the grass. This makes the birds fly into the air so the hunter can shoot them. Spaniels stay close to the hunter so when the birds start to fly, the hunter is close enough to shoot them. **Pointers: Pointers find birds then stand still and point at where the bird is. They often are farther away from the hunter than a spaniel would be. By pointing instead of flushing the bird out, they give the hunter time to get close enough to shoot the bird. *'''Terriers''' are almost always used to hunt [[mammal]]s. Terriers are used to find the [[den]] or living space of the animal. They will go into where the animal lives and either force it to run out or they will kill it. Many of the animals hunted with terriers are animals that cause damage, for example, [[ground hog]]s, [[fox]] and [[badger]]. *'''Curs''' are used in the same way as terriers but on larger animals. Curs are used to hunt [[boar]]s, raccoon, [[cougar]]s, and other large mammals [[Category:Dogs]] [[de:Jagdhund]] [[en:Hunting dog]] [[ko:사냥개]] [[nl:Jachthond]] [[ja:猟犬]] [[no:Jakthunder]] [[sr:Ловачки пас]] 42263 237317 2006-11-16T20:11:55Z Creol 5738 [[Husky]] moved to [[Siberian Husky]]: more acturate title - article is only about one breed of the dog husky #REDIRECT [[Siberian Husky]] 73617 549974 2007-10-08T20:40:36Z Tygrrr 7167 [[Illyrian Shepherd]] moved to [[Šarplaninac]]: official name #REDIRECT [[Šarplaninac]] 73055 549993 2007-10-08T20:45:35Z Tygrrr 7167 Redirecting to [[Šarplaninac]] #redirect[[Šarplaninac]] 42357 619025 2007-12-07T04:50:49Z Creol 5738 cat cleanup [[Image:Jagdterrier-Wikipedia.jpg|thumb|right|A Jagdterrier]] '''Jagdterriers''' are a [[breed]] of [[dog]]s.

[[image:FemaleYellowLabrador.jpg|thumb|Female yellow Labrador]] The '''Labrador Retriever''' (or '''Lab''' and '''Labrador''' for short) is a breed of [[dog]]. Labrador Retrievers are very gentle dogs with family-friendly personalities. They enjoy attention and [[exercise]] with their owner. This dog is great with [[children]]. They love to run around in big, open spaces, have a natural love of bringing things back, and learn to retrieve easily. They like the [[water]] no matter what temperature outside as their coat protects them. They are strong [[swimming|swimmers]] as they have webbing between the toes on their paws. They come in three colors: [[black]], [[yellow]], and chocolate or [[brown]]. There are many different shades of "yellow" labrador, including a type that looks [[bronze]] or dark [[orange]]. This tough, hardy breed of retriever is a great choice as a [[family]] pet. They are playful, easy to train, and naturally obedient. Labrador Retrievers do require regular amounts of daily exercise and are prone to [[obesity]]. As a pet, they can be demanding of attention and are best suited in a home where they can have a daily workout. They like water and have a unique [[otter]]-like tail, which they use like a [[rudder]] when they swim. The origin of the Labrador Retriever is unsure due to the many different theories to how the labrador, as we know it, came to exist. A popular theory is that the Labrador's ancestors were brought to Newfoundland by English fisherman. These dogs were descendants of Newfoundland dogs brought to Europe and bred with Portuguese Water Dogs and other sports dogs. Although there is only one type of Labrador Retriever recognized by the CKC (Canadian Kennel Club), many Labrador enthusiasts will argue that there are actually two types of Labradors. These can be broken down into the categories of English (Show) Dogs and American (Field) Dogs. {{stub}} {{commons|Labrador Retriever}} [[Category:Dog breeds]] [[ca:Labrador retriever]] [[cs:Labradorský retrívr]] [[da:Labrador retriever]] [[de:Labrador Retriever]] [[et:Labradori retriiver]] [[en:Labrador Retriever]] [[es:Labrador Retriever]] [[eo:Labradora ĉashundo]] [[fr:Labrador Retriever]] [[hr:Labrador retriver]] [[id:Labrador Retriever]] [[is:Labrador sækir]] [[it:Labrador Retriever]] [[he:לברדור רטריבר]] [[lt:Labradoro retriveris]] [[nl:Labrador retriever]] [[ja:ラブラドール・レトリバー]] [[no:Labrador retriever]] [[pl:Labrador Retriever]] [[pt:Retriever do Labrador]] [[ro:Labrador Retriever]] [[ru:Лабрадор ретривер]] [[sl:Labradorec]] [[sr:Лабрадор ретривер]] [[fi:Labradorinnoutaja]] [[sv:Labrador retriever]] [[th:ลาบราดอร์รีทรีฟเวอร์]] [[tr:Labrador Retriever]] [[zh:拉布拉多犬]] 18568 82786 2006-01-03T00:44:18Z Freshstart 2077 [[Labrador Retriver]] moved to [[Labrador Retriever]]: correct spelling #REDIRECT [[Labrador Retriever]] 33719 177264 2006-08-14T21:35:01Z 217.95.222.64 Redirecting to [[Llama]] #REDIRECT[[Llama]] 19216 86248 2006-01-13T18:11:47Z Elf 412 [[Landseer]] moved to [[Landseer (Continental-European type)]]: Landseer is also the name of a famous painter.

They are found in many parts of the world. They live in [[family|families]] and eat [[vegetable]]s. A [[male]] rabbit is called a ''buck'', and a [[female]] is called a ''doe''. A [[baby]] rabbit is called a ''kit'', which is short for kitten. Sometimes, [[child]]ren call a rabbit a ''bunny''. Some people have rabbits as [[pet]]s, especially the cottontail rabbit. In some parts of the world, people eat them. Some of these areas include Scotland, Ireland, England and Australia, where they are often considered to be pests. Most rabbits love [[carrot]]s, but most of a pet rabbit's food should be rabbit pellets from a pet store. When a female rabbit is [[pregnant]], it will take about 31 days for the young to be born. The mother will pull fur a couple of days before they are born, to make a bed for the babies. Different breeds of rabbits have between 1 and 15 bunnies at a time. The babies can be handled carefully after they are born. There are rabbit breeders all around the world who breed rabbits to show them in rabbit shows. At most local fairs with animal shows, there are also rabbit shows. A rabbit should never have hay or straw as bedding - they will just eat it. White shavings should be used on wooden floors. Wire floors are also used, and they do not hurt the rabbit. These floors are self-cleaning; the [[feces]] falls through to the ground under the cage, where it can there be shoveled up once a week. The wire has to be cleaned once a month, to make sure all harmful bacteria are gone. Some rabbits can be trained to use a litter tray, just like a cat, and can live happily inside with the family, but should be kept separated from other animals, such as hunting dogs or poodles, that are very likely to attack the rabbit. Rabbits should be protected from the weather. They do not like wind. They can live in the cold, but they would rather be kept inside a warm house or near a heater in a barn. In very hot weather, rabbits like to have a frozen water bottle in their cage so they can lie beside it and cool off. Two bucks (males) cannot be housed together, because they will fight each other. Two does (females) can be housed together, since they will not usually fight. A buck cannot be housed with newborn bunnies, or he will eat them. Pet rabbits can be found for little money, or even for free. Show rabbits can cost up to thousands of dollars. Most show rabbits cost from $50 to $200. Rabbits have very delicate heart, and can have heart attacks easily. Some breeders have said their rabbits died from heart attacks when they smelled a bear nearby. Rabbits can also break their backs very easily if they get excited or suddenly frightened.

When they feel threatened, they will defend themselves. They will also protect other members of the pack, to a certain extent. How they defend themselves, and how close they feel to the rest of the pack (their owners) depends on the dog race, and on the how they were raised. Since dogs judge dangerous situations differently, they should not be left unattended near a place where people are arguing. They may also judge ''unattended'' moves of a child as an attack. Therefore dogs should not be left alone near children. ==Problems== There were cases where certain dogs attacked humans; mostly children.<ref>Nine-week-old mauled at family home (Herald Sun On Line)-http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22982825-2862,00.html</ref><ref>Baby mauled to death by rottweiler (Herald Sun Online) http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22987329-5005961,00.html</ref><ref>Man attacked by rottweiler (Herald Sun Online) - http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22984232-5005961,00.html</ref> For this reason, breeding certain dogs has been restricted or forbidden.<ref>{{cite news | title = Rottweilers, dog control and the law | pages = 1-3 | language = [[English language|English]] | publisher = BBC News | date = [[2006-09-25]] | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5377262.stm | accessdate = 2007-02-09}}</ref> Germany and France have classified certain dog races as "dangerous".
