Angora cat persian

Just look at the picture above or persian cat Angora cat Angora or Persian cat?

Maybe some of you, or even all of you must have heard the Persian Angora cat. Wait instead of Angora cats and Persian cats are two very different types. It is true, but that does not happen a hundred years ago.

Precisely in Turkey there are two areas of the city called angora and the other is the persian. The second area has a population of long-haired cats that much. Well, long-haired cat who was by the ancients called the Angora cat.

When the Europeans came to trade in Turkey. Angora cat they bought it and took it to europe. Until finally, long-haired cat was popular in cat shows (late 1800) which was held in English. Unfortunately I can not picture it's Angora cat persian eh (deh know what it used to have a camera or not)

Then people realized that the new Europe that used to be called angora cat that turns out there are two different types of pure and specific. Angora cat from the city (now ankara, Turkey) is called with the Angora cat. While that of persian (now Iran) is called with a Persian cat

Well of Europe's Persian cat eventually spread everywhere even to the Persian cat in bandung. he he he

So do not be surprised there is a so-called Persian Angora cat. LHA ancient people also call it that. So do not complain.

Ajag, Original Dog Forest Indonesia

Ajag (Cuon alpinus) is a coyote that lives in the plains of Asia. Many think ajag with wolves (Canis lupus), but despite almost identical, both of which have different species in the genus. Even the two subspecies Cuon alpinus javanicus ajag and Cuon alpinus sumatrensis a coyote native (endemic) Indonesia who inhabited the island of Sumatra and Java.
Dhole including one of the rare animals in Indonesia whose population is declining and in danger of extinction. By IUCN Redlist, native coyotes Indonesia is categorized in the conservation status of endangered (Endangered).
Dhole has often referred to invite the scientific name Cuon alpinus. In the English foxes is called a "Dhole", Asiatic Wild Dog, Indian Wild Dog, and Red Dog. In Malaysia this beast known as coyotes. In some areas of Java this animal is known as the 'asu giggles'.
The characteristics and behavior. Dhole (Cuon alpinus) has a body length of about 90 cm with a height of about 50 cm. Coyote has a weight between 12-20 kg. Dhole has a long tail about 40-45 cm.
Rare and endangered animals native to Indonesia has reddish brown fur except on the bottom of the chin, neck to the tip of a white belly and tail are colored black.
A ajag (Cuon alpinus) grown
Dhole used to live in groups consisting of 5-12 animals, even up to 30 individuals. But in certain situations, coyotes can live this rare solitary (alone) as found in Gunung Leuser National Park. Dhole prey to hunt together, namely the pursuit of larger prey such as wild boar, deer, elk, bison, and buffalo. Rats, rabbits, deer and other small animals are also a favorite food of this rare animal.
Dhole can have children 6 tails in a single pregnancy, with about 2.5 months old buntingan. Within a year, coyotes can give birth to 2 times. Ajag children will reach adulthood at the age of one year.
These animals include animals that are more active at night (nocturnal), although not fully carried out its activities in the evening. Bellowed a voice was heard loud and clear voice sounded soft salakannya, such as repetitive short yelp (the sound "kik-kik-kik"). Maybe it's because in some parts of Java this rare animal called the 'asu giggles'.
Habitat and Population. Dhole (Cuon alpinus) inhabit the mountains and forests. These rare animals usually make their nests in caves and burrows are available. Coyotes are different from these wolves in Asia began to spread from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Russia, Tajikistan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Ajag in Indonesia can be found on the island of Sumatra and Java.
Ajag population has decreased from year to year. Estimated worldwide population of about 2,500 birds. Because of this population decline, ajag then categorized into endangered conservation status (endangered) by IUCN Redlist since 2004. In addition also included in CITES Appendix II listing.
Population decline was mainly due to the destruction of the forest as ajag habitat, reduced prey (prey) ajag, and poaching. In some areas, some are ajag overpopulation as a result of the absence of predators as a competitor who makes ajag top predator in the ecosystem such as occurs in Baluran National Park.
Dhole Ancestor Not Dogs. Although there is still disagreement, but most researchers believe that ajag (Cuon alpinus) is the ancestor of domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris). Dogs are believed to be domesticated from wolves keturan and (Canis lupus).
Although once considered a pest animal, because in addition to prey on animals in the protected forest area, also attacked the cattle that roam the forest edge, and some time ago, a herd ajag also considered responsible for the decrease in deer population in East Java, such as the National Park Baluran, but this rare animal remains an asset for the nation of Indonesia. Ajag extinction, foxes native to Indonesia, is a great loss for us all. Agree mate?
