Is Sperm Alive During Chemo




Dear Friends

Summer vacation ended without collecting specimens of exotic fauna.

On Sunday August 15 , 2010 at 14:15 hours, we received notice of the GPA (Group Relief Soon) Arafo (Municipality of South Tenerife) on a copy of iguana in Güimar (another district in the south of the island).

Arafo The GPA contacted us at 16:00 am and we proceeded to remove the reptile and perform first aid.

Our surprise was great when arriving at the greenhouses (through a maze of back roads) we find that the so-called Green Iguana (Iguana iguana , a species low degree of international protection and a very affordable cost in the pet trade) was actually a horned lizard in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, Cyclura cornuta, species included in Appendix I of the Washington Convention (Annex A in its transposing EU legislation). Exhibit A is the highest category of protection and includes endangered species such as gorillas and pandas.

It was an adult male large, as shown in the images, which had been attacked by a dog, leaving him in very poor condition.
not understand how anyone kept the dog repeatedly attacked the iguana.
Upon removal of the animal has both eardrums perforated and bleeding through the ear canal. There was also ataxia, and both cervical and caudal region showed signs of having been gnawed by dogs.
The image can be seen as was the issue at the time of collection by the dog that attacked her.

Detail shows the area where cervical and tympanic attacked by dogs.

Unfortunately, a few hours despite the efforts, the animal died.

Today his corpse is deposited in the Museum of Nature and Man of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which will become part of the collection of specimens from the Museum.

Greetings.
