it is threatened by habitat loss .

it is the only species in the genus carpitalpa .

it was elevated from the genus chlorotalpa .

it was first described by lundholm , who named it for nicolas arends , taxidermist at the kaffrarian museum ( now the amathole museum , in king william 's town , south africa ) who captured the specimen .

arends ' s golden mole

juliana’s golden mole ( neamblysomus julianae ) is a golden mole endemic to south africa . it is listed as an endangered species due to habitat loss and a restricted range . golden moles are an ancient group of mammals that live mostly below ground .
the species occurs in the inyanga highlands of eastern zimbabwe between latitudes 18° s and 20° s , and altitudes of 850–2 , 000 m , with a marginal intrusion into the vila perey district of western mozambique .
they have shiny coats of dense fur and a streamlined , formless appearance . they have no visible eyes or ears ; in fact , they are blind - the small eyes are covered with hairy skin . the ears are small and are hidden in the animal ' s fur . juliana ' s golden mole weighs 21–75 g ( 0 . 75–2 . 7
van zyl ' s golden mole ( cryptochloris zyli ) is a golden mole endemic to the western cape province , south africa . it is listed as an endangered species due to habitat loss . golden moles are an ancient group of mammals who live mostly below ground . they have shiny coats of dense fur and a streamlined , formless appearance . they have no visible eyes or ears ; in fact , they are blind – the small eyes are covered with hairy skin . the ears are small and are hidden in the animal ' s fur . [ 2 ]
van zyl ' s golden mole was initially known only from compagnies drift , 16 km ( 9 . 9 mi ) inland from lambert ' s bay , northwestern cape province , south africa . another specimen was collected at groenriviermond , approximately 150 km ( 93 mi ) farther north along the namaqualand coast , in 2003 . van zyl ' s golden mole is threatened by continued loss of habitat . for example , mining of coastal dunes for alluvial diamonds could lead to habitat degradation . habitat alteration associated with tourism developments along the west coast could also pose a problem for this species . the international union for conservation of nature now rates this species as
endangered

it lives in the coastal dune belt and adjacent sandy areas . usually two young are born , sometimes one . van zyl ' s golden mole eats various invertebrates , as well as legless lizards , which grow to a length of about 20 cm ( 8
) . the young of golden moles are born in a grass - lined cavity in the ground . they usually dig their tunnels just below the ground . [ 2 ]
of the 21 species of golden mole , no fewer than 11 are threatened with extinction . the primary causes are sand mining , poor agricultural practices , increasing urbanisation , and predation by domestic cats and dogs .
. where it occurs , juliana’s golden mole can be locally common . however , its occurrence is extremely patchy within its limited geographic range . there are no data on population size . the population on bronberg ridge , pretoria east , is severely affected by ongoing intensive urbanization and a mining operation , and it is considered to be critically endangered . the nylsvley population in limpopo occurs in farmlands ( adjoining the nylsvley nature reserve ) that are subject to habitat alteration and potential degradation . another threat is habitat fragmentation which causes obstruction to animal movement ; this results in in - breeding which increases the possible risk of extinction . the
van zyl ' s golden mole is about 80–90 mm ( 3–3 . 5
) long and weighs about 20–30 g ( 0 . 71–1 . 06 oz ) . the face has white markings . the dorsal fur is short and dense and is a dark lead - grey colour , the under - layer of fur being pale grey . the underparts are a uniform drab colour . the claw on the third digit on the forefoot is about 10 mm ( 0 . 4 in ) long and 4 mm ( 0 . 2 in ) wide at the base . claw one and two are slightly shorter making a pointed digging tool . [ 2 ]
golden moles are small , insectivorous burrowing mammals endemic to southern africa , where their afrikaans names are gouemolle or kruipmolle ( singular gouemol or kruipmol ) . they comprise the family chrysochloridae and as such they are taxonomically distinct from the true moles , family talpidae , and other mole - like families , all of which , to various degrees , they resemble as a result of evolutionary convergence .
it is confined to sandy soils , often pockets along weathered rocky ridges of quartzite or granite . it is also common in well - irrigated gardens . usually two young are born , sometimes one . golden moles eat
most other species construct both foraging superficial burrows and deeper permanent burrows for residence . residential burrows are relatively complex in form , and may penetrate as far as a metre below ground and include deep chambers for use as bolt - holes , and other chambers as latrines . they push excavated soil up to the surface as mole - hills , or compact it into the tunnel walls . they feed on small insects and earthworms or small vertebrates such as lizards or burrowing snakes . they depend on their sense of hearing to locate much of their prey , and the cochleas of a number of golden mole species have been found to be long and highly coiled , which may indicate a greater ecological dependence on low frequency auditory cues than we see in talpid moles . [ 5 ]
such as insects , earthworms and snails . their young are born in a grass - lined cavity in the ground . golden moles usually dig their tunnels just below the surface of the ground . the main feeding activity is in the late afternoon and at night . they exhibit
most species of chrysochloridae live almost exclusively underground in their respectively preferred environments , beneath either grassveld , forest , swamps , deserts , or mountainous terrain . however , chrysospalax species tend to forage above ground in leaf litter in forests or in meadows . eremitalpa species such as grant ' s golden mole live in the sandy namib desert , where they cannot form tunnels because the sand collapses . instead during the day , when they must seek shelter , they literally swim through the loose sand , using their broad claws to paddle , and dive down some 50 cm to where it is bearably cool . there they enter a state of torpor , thus conserving energy . [ 4 ] at night they emerge to forage on the surface rather than wasting energy shifting sand . their main prey are termites that live under isolated grass clumps , and they might travel for 6 kilometres a night in search of food . they seek promising clumps by listening for wind - rustled grass - root stresses and termites ' head - banging alarm signals , neither of which can be heard easily above ground , so they stop periodically and dip their heads under the sand to listen . [ 4 ]
like most burrowing mammals with similar habits , the chrysochloridae have short legs with powerful digging claws , very dense fur that repels dirt and moisture , and toughened skin , particularly on the head . their eyes are non - functional and covered with furred skin . the external ears are just tiny openings . in particular , golden moles bear a remarkable resemblance to the marsupial moles of australia , family notoryctidae , which they resemble so suggestively that at one time , the marsupial / placental divide not withstanding , some workers argued that they were related . considerations that influenced the debate might have included the view that the chrysochloridae are very primitive placentals and the fact that they have many mole - like specializations similar to specializations in marsupial moles . the rhinarium is a greatly enlarged , dry leathery pad that protects their nostrils while the animal digs . in this respect too , they resemble the marsupial moles . some authors claim that their primary sense is that of touch , and they are particularly sensitive to vibrations that may indicate approaching danger . [ 3 ] note below however , the observations on the malleus in the middle ear .
the taxonomy of the chrysochloridae is undergoing a review in the light of new genetic information . they have traditionally been listed with the shrews , hedgehogs and a grab - bag of small , difficult - to - place creatures as part of the order insectivora . some authorities retain this classification , at least for the time being . others group the golden moles with the tenrecs in a new order , which is sometimes known as tenrecomorpha , while others call it afrosoricida and reserve tenrecomorpha for the family tenrecidae .
at one time the chrysochloridae were regarded as primitive . supporting arguments included : that they were thought to have originated in gondwana , that they had a low resting metabolic rate , and that they could switch off thermoregulation when inactive . furthermore , like the tenrecs , they possess a cloaca , and males lack a scrotum . however , such points are no longer regarded as strongly suggestive that golden moles are undeveloped
reptilian mammals
; some are seen rather as adaptations to regional climatic conditions . going into a torpor when resting or during cold weather , enables them to conserve energy and reduce urgent requirements for food . similarly , they have developed particularly efficient kidneys and most species do not need to drink water at all ; in fact they tend to drown easily if they fall into water .

monotypic . lundholm ( 1955 ) described this taxon as a subgenus of chlorotalpa , as well as the subgenus kilimatalpa for c . stuhlmanni from east africa . simonetta ( 1968 ) elevated carpitalpa to generic rank to include kilimatalpa . meester ( 1974 ) instead assigned c . arendsi to chlorotalpa and c . stuhlmanni to chrysochloris , commenting that differences between the chlorotalpa species did not warrant subgeneric separation . phylogenetic analyses of morphometric data ( bronner 1995 ) , and recent phylogenetic analyses based on both morphological and genetic data ( asher et al . 2010 ) confirm that c . arendsi has diverged considerably from the chlorotalpa species and chrysochloris ( kilimatalpa ) stuhlmanni , necessitating its allocation to a distinct genus ,
. habitat alteration / degradation as a result of political instability and poorly - managed land transformation initiatives in eastern zimbabwe , together with limited policing and management of conservation areas ( particularly nyanga national park , which includes much of this species range ) , have resulted in rapid and extensive environmental damage from annual wildfires that destroy its preferred forest habitats and local biodiversity ; uncontrolled timber harvesting ; overgrazing by cattle and poaching . habitat modifications are thus inferred to be major potential threats to the survival of this species , given its restricted range , and are reasons to confirm its vulnerable status .
favours loamy soils in montane grasslands and the fringes of rainforests , but is dependent on areas with less cover ( lundholm 1955 ) , and does not penetrate deep into forests ( smithers and lobao - tello 1976 , smithers and wilson 1979 ) . also common in cultivated lands and gardens .
habitat modifications associated with political instability and poorly - managed land transformation initiatives in zimbabwe , together with limited conservation management in protected areas , an increase in the frequency and intensity of wildfires , uncontrolled timber harvesting and overgrazing by livestock are likely to be major threats . the extent and intensity thereof , and impacts on this species , are not well documented . predation by domestic cats and dogs probably represents a more localized threat .
occurs in the following conservation areas : nyanga national park ; mtarazi falls national park ; chimanimani national park ; vumba botanical reserve ; and bunga forest reserve . however , recent reports suggest that baseline management and policing of these conservation areas has collapsed owing to political and economic instability , leading to habitat alteration associated with uncontrolled wildfires , overgrazing by cattle and poaching , so the extent of protection these areas afford is uncertain .

the species range in size from about 8 to about 20 cm . they have muscular shoulders and the forelimbs are radically adapted for digging ; all the toes on the forefeet have been reduced , except for a large , pick - like third claw on the third toe . the fifth digit is absent and the first and fourth digits are vestigial . the adaptations of the hind feet are less dramatic , they retain all five toes and are webbed as an adaptation to efficient backward shovelling of soil loosened by the front claws .
some species also have hypertrophied middle ear ossicles , in particular the malleus , which apparently is adapted towards the detection of seismic vibrations . [ 6 ] [ 7 ] in this respect there is some apparent convergent evolution to burrowing reptiles in the family amphisbaenidae .
females give birth to one to three hairless young in a grass - lined nest within the burrow system . breeding occurs throughout the year . the adults are solitary , and their burrowing territory may be aggressively defended from intruders , especially where resources are relatively scarce . [ 3 ]

tirumala hamata , the blue tiger , dark blue tiger or blue wanderer , is a butterfly of the nymphalidae family .

it is found in south-east asia and australia .

in australia , the butterflies perform mass migrations to the south in some years .

the wingspan is about 70 mm .

they are grey with black bands between segments and orange lateral lines and a black head with white markings .

adults have been observed scratching the leaves of heliotropium amplexicaule and parsonia straminea , possibly to suck out moisture .

the larvae feed on a wide range of plants including parsonsia ( including parsonsia straminea and parsonsia velutina ) , heterostemma papuana , heterostemma acuminatum , hoya australis , leichardtia , marsdenia ( including marsdenia velutina ) , secanome carnosum , secamone elliptica , tylophora , cryptostegia grandiflora , cynanchum carnosum and cynanchum leptolepis .

the caterpillars are grey , with black bands between segments , and orange lateral lines . the head is black with white markings . the caterpillars have a pair long filaments on both the thorax and the last abdominal segment . the caterpillars feed on various jungle vines from the family
the wings of the adult butterflies are black with blue spots . they have a wingspan of about 7 cms . the butterflies may sometimes be seen scratching the leaves of special plants , including :
they appear to suck chemicals from the plants , even wetting dead leaves and then sucking up the moisture .
the eggs are bullet shaped and pale yellow . they are laid singly on young shoots of a foodplant .
the adult butterflies have been observed to live longer than five months . in australia , the butterflies perform mass migrations to the south in some years , making a delightful spectacle .

this page contains information and pictures about blue tiger butterflies in the brisbane area , queensland , australia .
blue tiger butterflies have pale blue patterns on black background on their wings . we took the above picture in macgregor park bush in mid - summer .
the blue tiger caterpillar body is banded with black , greenish - yellow and white rings , have two pairs of filaments .
their food plants are vines secamone elliptica and ischnostemma carnosum . the caterpillar usually found feeding underside of the leaf . their pupa is fresh green and shiny with some golden spots .
blue tiger butterflies migrate to brisbane from north queensland . we sometimes see one of them flying slowly among plants in our backyard and near by bushland . their flight is fluttering with gliding in between . but they know where to go , much like this review of garcinia knows where to go buy a quality cambogia supplement .
usually we can tell the age of a butterfly by its wing edges and colour . for the blue tigers in the above pictures . their wings colour faded and the edges were broken in different degree , we can tell the butterfly was in their middle and old ages . although the butterfly ' s wing edges were broken quite badly , theirs flying skill seems not affected .
blue tiger butterflies are not always seen in brisbane . from the reference books , they migrate to brisbane from north queensland .
however , we received email from georg horrolt - buddina , he advised that : blue tigers seem to migrate north every end of march and april , clouds of them fly right along the coastline from caloundra to noosa . i have observed this for approximate 6 years now . why do you say they migrate south to brisbane ?
in brisbane 2004 summer , the number of blue tiger is exceptionally high . from mid summer to late summer we can see plenty of them in the bush , flying along the highway and across our backyard . they were flying from west to the east .
the movement of the blue tigers are a bit confusing and need more observations .
we had the records breaking hot summer in 2004 queensland . this could be related to the high number of blue tigers found in brisbane .
we received email from david james - corindi beach : on 21 - 2 - 2004 , thousands of blue tiger butterflies visited my garden in coffs harbour . they were back again the next day but not as thick , and although a few were there about for 4 or 5 days . their numbers dropped rapidly . incidentally the temperature here on 21st was 44 degrees .
