Species Photo Gallery

This means that they are protected through regulation of international trade in live specimens, parts and derivatives. We hope that this photo gallery will help you to recognize these species and so have a better understanding of the animals and plants covered by our Convention. Over 34,000 species are subject to CITES protection, so it would be difficult for us to show photos of them all. However, all the main groups of species are represented here, in particular the ones most commonly traded. The dates of CITES-listing shown in the gallery reflect only the current status of the species concerned.

We invite you to send your photos to us for use in this gallery. If you want to use these photos, please check our copyright and credits policy. Farmrun - media for a farm run america.

Making Goat Milk Cheese is Easy

It’s really a pretty simple process, but one made easier when you understand a few basics principles of the cheesemaking process. I have raised dairy goats for 20-plus years and experimented with making different types of cheese for about half that time. Making cheese is one of those learn-by-doing activities, and a process greatly enhanced gleaning from others’ experiences and knowledge.... TheRealDeihlChef.com. Foods List. No Weird Stuff!

Secret Knock Detecting Door Lock

This started out as a bit of a joke project, but turned out to be surprisingly accurate at judging knocks. If the precision is turned all the way up it can even detect people apart, even if they give the same knock! (Though this does trigger a lot of false negatives, which is no fun if you're in a hurry.) It's also programmable. Press the programming button and knock a new knock and it will now only open with your new knock.

Maybe a video will explain it better: Important Notes:(I hate to even have to say this, but since someone's going to say it, I'll say it first:) 1) This is for entertainment purposes only. For obvious improvements to safety, security and whatever, see the final page of the Instructable. 2) This is not a project for a beginner!

Hog Start to Finished!

They were born in spring and reached a little over 6 months. He fed them a combination of oats, alfalfa hay, corn, table scraps, garden scraps, pumpkins, apples, lots of acorns and a few Dunkin Munchkin treats. They lived in a nice large pen about twenty by forty feet on a rocky ledge with plenty of muddy places to wallow and a nice hay strewn shed to hang out in when it was hot or rainy. Oak and hickory trees cover the plot and drop their nuts right over the hogs.

This year there was a phenomenal acorn crop. All in all it cost Austin just over $2,000 to raise them. These pigs didn't need an antibiotic or any other pharmaceuticals other than worming, because they started out healthy and lived an active robust life. The hogs were Hampshire Landrace crossbreeds from a quality herd. Last Saturday, Nov 20th, we did the slaughter. Once cleaned on the outside it was time for the evisceration. Wasabi.
