Here are the links of the 2 important websites that we talked about in class for the Application topic. The most interesting parts of the websites would be to actually look at the pictures of the different species.
http://www.cites.org/ (This is where you get the CITES Listings. Go to the photo gallery link on the right and you'll end up with an index with all the different species that are on the list. My favorite picture is the one below.)
http://www.iucnredlist.org/ (This is the link for the IUCN Red List. Click on Photo Gallery on the menu and you'll be able to access photos from the lists of previous years as well.)
Common name: Tomato FrogScientific name: Dyscophus antongilii

Hi sir!! cool web..my fav is d roti snake -necked turtle..hmm i wonder y its called a turtle since it looks like a tortoise...cuz according to wat u told us earlier a tortoise hv webbed leg rite? is it a breed of turtle + tortoise + snake? hehehe..hope u can clear my doubts..n is bread the turtle's fav food? so they add 'roti' to its name.........gees this is really squeezing my brain..well ull b hapie to hear dat rite sir? :P

heehee.. dun worry.. i wont dissect cute little froggie.. ^^
Yay!!!finally...Ive found d info bout d 'roti snake-necked turtle'.Well dis turtle whose scientific name is Chelodina mccordi, is mostly found in the roti island of indonesia..with a long neck that extends from it's body and resembles a snake...so thats y it is given d name 'roti snake-necked turtle'.C.mccordi lives in freshwater lakes, and also on the mesic inland highland plateau in swamps, rice paddies and irrigation ditches.The average clutch size is said to be 8-9 eggs.The eggs are oval and similar to those of Chelodina longicollis.Incubation period is about two months....The sad news bout this creature is that..In 2000, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals categorized this species as "Critically Endangered" and in the same year the species was found to be put for illegal trade and this is slowly contributing to it's demise :(...I'm terribly moved by this news..anyway I hope that the one's responsible will take steps to stem the illegal trade of this species and preserve it from extint in the wild.
wow thanks puva! that's the kind of comment this blog needs. i didn't even know that there was a roti island in indonesia.
No prob sir!! yeah it's weird to know that indonesia has got such an island..one day i wish i cud visit that place..n c dat turtle by myself :P ill send ya a pic if i get to find dem k...chill
yes i love pics. :)
