Swinub convergent pokemon! instead of being based on a boar, Scinub is inspired by ancient horned gophers, from the clade Sciuromorpha!

therefore the 'sci' is for squirrel like animals instead of 'swi' that meant swines! Also the 'mylo' from "Myloscine" come from "Mylagaulinae", the proper subfamily of horned rodents!

(WHY IS THE IMAGE SO SMALL?????)

anyways, tell me what y'all think!

Why the future of West Virginia's rare flying squirrel looks bright | MNN

The squirrel — called the Virginia northern flying squirrel or more commonly the West Virginia northern flying squirrel (WVNFS) — was listed as an endangered species in 1985. But restoration efforts have helped the species rebound, and in 2013 the West Virginia northern flying squirrel joined an exclusive group of success stories — species that have been taken off the endangered list.

Since then, restoration work has ramped up. Now a new report assessing the status of the squirrel in its first five years since coming off of the endangered species list indicates there are many reasons to be optimistic.

Survival of the squirrel depends on survival of its habitat — red spruce-northern hardwood forest, which consists of red spruce, fir, beech, yellow birch, sugar or red maple, hemlock and black cherry. It used to be that the iconic, high-elevation red spruce forest blanketed hundreds of thousands of acres of the Central Appalachians. But much of that was destroyed in the late 1800s and early 1900s due to logging and wildfire.

"This habitat is really special," said Barb Douglas, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service senior endangered species biologist. "There's some old-growth left, but a lot of it was cut over at the turn of the 20th century."

"If you go into a really old-growth spruce forest, it's mossy and green and smells good," added Laura Hill, a retired fish and wildlife biologist for the service. "It's surreal. It's quiet, the ground is spongy and soft. It's calming and soothing."

In the decades preceding and following the listing of the West Virginia northern flying squirrel, protection and restoration efforts were successful in bringing the red spruce-northern hardwood forest habitat back to more than 173,000 acres in West Virginia.

And the work didn't stop when the squirrel was taken off the endangered species list in 2013. In the following five years, more than 7,455 acres of West Virginia northern flying squirrel habitat has been created, protected or restored. Additionally, even without formal protections, federal biologists have coordinated with project proponents to keep habitat loss at a negligible level of 285 acres — amounting to 26 times more habitat saved than lost.

As a result, the five-year report finds that the squirrel remains well distributed across all seven core areas and continues to be found at new, expanded and historical sites, with long-term potential for a slowly growing population.

Pest Control: Getting Rid of Rodents

There are actually around 4,000 rodent species categorized based mostly on their own anatomy similarities and distinctions. Over-all, a few significant teams with around 30 households make up the overall rodent population.

Frequent Rodent Sorts The greater common rodents drop into three key suborders. The suborder Sciuromorpha includes squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, woodchucks, prairie dogs, gophers, pocket mice, kangaroo rats, and beavers. The suborder Myomorpha is created up of mouse-like rodents and features a significant number of mouse and rat species, including hamsters, lemmings, voles, muskrats, gerbils, dormice, and jerboas. The suborder Hystricomorpha incorporates porcupine, capybara, nutria, agouti, cavy, mara, chinchilla, and several other species. Commensal Rodents Rats and mice are largely liable for feeding on up or contaminating a food stuff supply. These kinds of rodents are generally known as "commensal rodents" mainly because they live with or in close association to people. The most typical commensal rodents are the home mouse, the Norway rat as well as the roof rat. These rodents spoil our foods by contaminating it with feces, hair and dander. These pests are present in properties, supermarkets, and dining places all over America In combination with warehouses and food stuff processing facilities. The prevention and control of the commensal rodent population is a large concern in many states exactly where these pests have the ability to thrive. Rodent Pest Manage Selections Rodent pest Regulate is often managed in various strategies, determined by your where you reside, your need to be inexperienced along with your funds. The next gives advantages and disadvantages for a variety of Best Pest Control in dubai. Mechanical traps.

These traps are classified as the quickest and most reliable means to manage pest challenges. The trapping of mice has many positive aspects such as value, relieve-of-use, and protection. Quite a few property and business owners like traps since they can confirm which the pest Management support they hired bought them effects. Furthermore, it ensures that the rodents do not die in crawl Areas or basements the place They may be more difficult to eliminate. Traps employed along with other green pest Command approaches usually have the very best In general effects. In spite of these advantages, mechanical traps for mice and rat Regulate may be a little bit crude thinking about other methods currently. Animal enthusiasts may well not much like the cruelty aspect of how the rodent is killed. Also, this sort of devices positioned about an Lively residence or business enterprise might be dangerous to very little youngsters and Animals. Eco-friendly Chemical Pest Command.

This pest Management service delivers several rewards and couple of shortcomings. Chemical pest Manage is on the market that's designed up of decreased or non-poisonous products. Some pest prevention products and services will supply chemical repellants that come with organic or normal products created to be both of those efficient and biodegradable. This Regulate option is eco-friendly. They are also considerably less harmful and thus are safer to own placed on your home In case you have compact kids or pets. Seem Repellents.

Rodent repellents that use seem are regarded as far more humane than common mice traps.

Versions of this and numerous other chemicals are available for indoor or out of doors software. As just one would be expecting, the chemical compounds Utilized in these rat poisons are hugely lethal and should not be used if there are tiny youngsters or animals that could come in connection with it. You can find probable wellbeing pitfalls connected with these chemical substances touching skin or remaining inhaled likewise.

Roedores

"

Roedores é como chamamos a ordem Rodentia. É dividida entre 30 famílias e mais de 2000 espécies, sendo provavelmente a ordem mais numerosa de mamíferos (chegam a representar 43% das espécies de mamíferos conhecidos). Mas a composição e número de táxons são alterados muitas vezes, depois dos estudos.

Os primeiros fósseis que temos é após a extinção dos dinossauros, há 65 milhões de anos atrás. As primeiras espécies são do antigo supercontinente Laurásia, depois houve colonização na África e posteriormente conseguiram chegar na América do Sul. Apesar dos marsupiais serem os primeiros mamíferos da Austrália, os roedores também chegaram e dominaram a fauna. A maior proporção desta ordem é encontrada na América do Sul, sendo que ela possui alguns gêneros e espécies endêmicas.

Distribuição geográfica

Originalmente estavam distribuídos em quase todo o mundo, exceto em algumas ilhas nos oceanos, na Nova Zelândia e na Antártida, porém, hoje foram introduzidos em toda parte. Como há uma grande variedade de espécies, elas divergem morfologicamente e ecologicamente, possuindo diversas adaptações, como em tamanho e peso, algumas com 5g, outras com até 80 kg; variam no tipo de habitat, alguns vivem a vida toda no subsolo, outras no dossel da floresta, alguns se adaptaram a uma vida urbana, como tipos de ratos, outros vivem no deserto e os encontramos até em meio aquático, como o castor.

Alimentação

A maioria das espécies são onívoras, mas existem aquelas que se alimentam só de plantas e outras que têm hábito especialista. Apesar de ser um grupo muito diverso, ele apresenta características em comum, como os dentes especializados para roer, possuem um único par de incisivos superiores (não possuem raízes, crescem continuamente) e um par inferior, não desenvolvido. Têm um par de superiores, com um ou mais pré-molares e molares. Nenhum roedor tem dentes caninos, ou mais de dois pares de incisivos. Quanto mais roem, os incisivos passam um no outro e ficam mais afiados, além de sofrerem desgaste.

//<![CDATA[ googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('dfp-arroba-meio2'); }); //]]>

Ecologia

A ordem rodentia tem um papel ecológico importante, uma vez que reproduz rápido e em grande quantidade, constituindo boa parte dos ecossistemas terrestres. Assim, contribuem para maior oferta de alimentos para predadores, uma vez que são presas de outros animais. Além disso, os roedores ganham destaque por muitas espécies possuírem populações desequilibradas, causando impactos ambientais, econômicos e na saúde humana, como a capivara, hospedeira do carrapato estrela, ou ratos que causam doenças, etc.

O músculo mais utilizado para estes animais roerem é o masseter, e a forma como o utilizam é que define a qual grupo de roedor o animal pertence.

Os ratos são um dos principais roedores presentes nas cidades. A urina desses animais é responsável pela transmissão de doenças como a leptospirose. Devido à abundância de alimentos para eles e rápida reprodução, são considerados uma praga urbana. Foto: Irina Kozorog / Shutterstock.com

Principais famílias e espécies

Está dividida em 5 subordens:

Sciuromorpha: Distribuída em 5 famílias entre porquinhos-da-índia, cobaias, preás, castor das montanhas, esquilos, marmotas, etc;

Castorimorpha: Dividida na Família Castoridae e na Família Heteromyidae ;

Myomorpha: Está em duas subfamílias e 5 famílias que englobam os ratos, hamsters, gerbils, camundongos, etc. Aqui se encontra a família Muridae, que é a maior dentro da ordem, apresentando mais de 650 espécies. Quem merece destaque aqui também, é a Família Spalacidae, que é representada por roedores fossoriais, com características bem peculiares.

Anomaluromorpha: Família Anomaluridae, oriundos da África e Família Pedetidae, representada pelas lebres-saltadoras.

Hystricomorpha: Dividida em duas infraordens e 18 famílias. O destaque aqui vai para família  Bathyergidae, que possui olhos e orelhas reduzidas, com quase ausência de pelos e vivem em galerias subterrâneas. Também se encaixam as famílias de chinchilas, pacas, cutias, porcos espinhos, etc.

Famílias de roedores brasileiros:

Sciuridae, que é dos caxinguelês, esquilos, serelepe.

Dasyproctidae, que é das cutias (gênero Dasyprocta, com várias espécies);

Cuniculidae que é das pacas (Agouti paca);

Erethizontidae que é dos porcos-espinhos ou ouriços (Coendou prehensilis e Chaetomys subspinosus );

Caviidae que é das capivaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris);

Murídae que é dos pequenos roedores, ratos e camundongos.
