Muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) sparring, Dovrefjell National Park, NorwayMuskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) sparring, Dovrefjell National Park, Norway. Muskoxen evolved in Asia and adapted to arctic tundra environments. Muskoxen became extinct in Europe (last records are from Sweden about 9,000 years ago) and Asia (last records are from the Taymyr peninsula in Russia about 2,000 years ago), probably primarily as a result of over hunting by people. Muskoxen crossed into North America from Siberia between 200,000 and 90,000 years ago and they survived in Alaska, northern Canada and Greenland. Muskoxen were reintroduced in Europe and Asia relatively recently. Muskoxen were first reintroduced in Dovrefjell National Park in Norway in 1931-1932, but these animals were all killed during the second world war. A second reintroduction attempt (1947-1953) was successful though. The muskoxen population size in Dovrefjell National Park is currently estimated at several hundred individuals.

Seasonal amphibian barriers for common toads (Bufo bufo), Soest, The Netherlands. Note that there are pitfalls (buckets) on the safe side of the fence. The sticks in the buckets allow non target species such as small mammals and invertebrates to escape. Volunteers check the buckets at night during the migration season and bring the toads to the other side of the road.

Image below: At this location the common toads approach the road in high numbers in a short section (concentrated in 20 m road length). The number of common toads (Bufo bufo), common fogs (Rana temporaria), and green frogs (Pelophylax spp.) that are saved by the volunteers at this location over the last 14 days is shown on this website.
