Senmonorom
Senmonorom ( km, សែនមនោរម្យ; ) is the capital of the province of Mondulkiri, Cambodia. It is the only major town in the province. The town has over 10,000 inhabitants, and is often compared to frontier towns in the old American west. Senmonorom (and the Mondulkiri province in general) is inhabited by the indigenous Bunong people. Bunong tribesmen and tribeswomen are often seen walking along major highways. The town is popular with NGO workers, loggers, and tourists both from outside Cambodia and from Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh. According to reports from Global Witness, the Mondulkiri province is facing a significant threat from illegal loggers attempting to exploit the area's virgin forests. Protected areas close to Sen Monorom include Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary, Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary ( km, ដែនជម្រកសត្វព្រៃភ្នំព្រេច) is a large protected area in eastern Cambodi ...

Eld's Deer
Eld's deer (''Rucervus eldii'' or ''Panolia eldii''Pitraa, Fickela, Meijaard, Groves (2004). ''Evolution and phylogeny of old world deer.'' Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 33: 880–895.), also known as the thamin or brow-antlered deer, is an endangered species of deer endemic to South Asia. Taxonomy The species was first described by John McClelland in 1840 based on specimens obtained in Manipur, India. It was described more detailed by Percy Eld in 1841; it was suggested to call the deer ''Cervus Eldii''. McClelland coined the scientific name ''Cervus (Rusa) frontals'' in 1843. In 1850, John Edward Gray proposed the name ''Panolia eldii'' for the deer. It has recently been proposed that it should be moved back to the genus ''Panolia'' on the basis of recent genetic findings that place it closer to Pere David's deer than to other members of the genus ''Rucervus''. The three subspecies of the Eld's deer are: *''Rucervus eldii eldii'': The Manipuri brow-antlered deer is f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kerivoula Titania
Titania's woolly bat (''Kerivoula titania'') is a species of bat found in Southeast Asia. Taxonomy and etymology It was initially described as a new species in 2007 based on specimens collected from Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary in eastern Cambodia. It is similar in appearance to other ''Kerivoula'' species, but has a genetic divergence of 12%, which was deemed great enough to warrant naming it as a new species. The species name "''titania''" is a reference to the character Titania from Shakespeare's ''A Midsummer Night's Dream''. The authors named the bat after the "Queen of the Fairies" to reflect "the nymph-like nature of this forest bat." Description It is considered a medium-sized member of its genus. Its forearm is long. It has large, mostly hairless ears that are long. It has tall and narrow tragi that are long. Its tail is long. It weighs . Its skull has a distinctly flat appearance. Its dental formula is for a total of 38 teeth. Its individual hairs are tricolored: ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Type Locality (biology)
In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally attached. In other words, a type is an example that serves to anchor or centralizes the defining features of that particular taxon. In older usage (pre-1900 in botany), a type was a taxon rather than a specimen. A taxon is a scientifically named grouping of organisms with other like organisms, a set that includes some organisms and excludes others, based on a detailed published description (for example a species description) and on the provision of type material, which is usually available to scientists for examination in a major museum research collection, or similar institution. Type specimen According to a precise set of rules laid down in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) and the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), the scientific name of every taxon is almost a ...

Species Description
A species description is a formal description of a newly discovered species, usually in the form of a scientific paper. Its purpose is to give a clear description of a new species of organism and explain how it differs from species that have been described previously or are related. In order for species to be validly described, they need to follow guidelines established over time. Zoological naming requires adherence to the ICZN code, plants, the ICN, viruses ICTV, and so on. The species description often contains photographs or other illustrations of type material along with a note on where they are deposited. The publication in which the species is described gives the new species a formal scientific name. Some 1.9 million species have been identified and described, out of some 8.7 million that may actually exist. Millions more have become extinct throughout the existence of life on Earth. Naming process A name of a new species becomes valid (available in zo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tiger
The tiger (''Panthera tigris'') is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus '' Panthera''. It is most recognisable for its dark vertical stripes on orange fur with a white underside. An apex predator, it primarily preys on ungulates, such as deer and wild boar. It is territorial and generally a solitary but social predator, requiring large contiguous areas of habitat to support its requirements for prey and rearing of its offspring. Tiger cubs stay with their mother for about two years and then become independent, leaving their mother's home range to establish their own. The tiger was first scientifically described in 1758. It once ranged widely from the Eastern Anatolia Region in the west to the Amur River basin in the east, and in the south from the foothills of the Himalayas to Bali in the Sunda Islands. Since the early 20th century, tiger populations have lost at least 93% of their historic range and have been extirpated from Western and Central Asia, t ...
