Wildlife museum preserves
exotic animals, researches
species reproductivity
Continued from page 3
the facilities at the veterinary school,
Herman said.
He said although they did ini
tially begin the center to study
reproductivity, they arenow switch
ing to clinical medicine in addition
to research and species preservation,
under the direction of Dr. Jim Jensen,
the head of the Wildlife and Exotic
Animal Center.
"Most of the animals were do
nated because they had a form of
congenital defect, " Herman said.
"We research the animals and try to
figure out how we can treat them,
but we also have animals that we are
currently studying for reproductive
reasons."
One particular study performed
at the Wildlife Center, involved the
first aritficial insimination of an
addax, which is an African desert
animal, Herman said.
The center also has been working
on a project involving Armanian Red
sheep.
These studies are to see if we
could somehow reproductively use
the Red sheep to bring back the Big
Horn sheep, said Herman.
Herman said the center is also
conducting research on fallow deer
for a private ranch in San Antonio.
"The medicine we practice is dif
ferent from horse and cattle medi-
cinebecause of the value of animals,"
Herman said.
"Because they are so expensive,
people want them cured and will
pay. That allows us to practice really
good medicine."
Another group of animals they
are very interested in studying are
the ostriches they have at the center,
Herman said .
"In Texas the ostrich industry is
growing fast. A pair of birds runs
between $15 to $25,000 and really no
oneknowsanythingaboutthem. We
are growing chics to figure out the
best diet and we are experimenting
with antibiotics and blood work to
obtain valuable information for ill
ness/' Herman said.
But ostriches and fallow deer are
not the only unusual creatures that
can be found at the Wildlife center,
in fact, there are a pair of llamas.
Flower and Tony, an African tiger
named Delilah, some emus, a feral
pig and even Fred and Ginger, a pair
of peacocks.
But the center does not end there,
the center also houses a very inter
esting museum which contains head
mountsofanimals from Africa, Asia,
North and South America.
Since the museum is mainly used
for teaching purposes, Herman said
the heads are mounted at the height
they would normally stand in the
wild.
"The exhibits are all donated to
the center," Herman said. "I have
mixed emotions about bringing
people in here because we are set up
to preserve species and we do not
want to promote hunting of them
because there is a high market for
many of the animals in here."
As inviting as it may sound, the
Wildlife center and museum are not
open to the public for viewing.
Herman said they are hoping to
one day have enough staff available
to be able to open the museum to the
public. But, for now the animals are
their main concern.
For those wondering how to be
come involved in studying exotic
animals, there is a program avail
able for those interested.
"Through the vet physiology de
partment we work with undergradu
ates," Herman said. "If you are in
terested in working with the ani
mals it is best to get in the 485 pro
gram. Students who work out here
get good hands-on experience
through feeding, handling and gen
eral care of the animals, and we only
make them do a little cleaning," he
said.
So if your are ever in the veteri
nary complex, you might take a drive
by the Wildlife and Exotic Center.
And who knows, you just might
catch a glimpse of a dancing ostrich
or two.

Madonna's
latest project
true, daring
Continued from page 3
and laying her head next to the
marker, expressing the desire to be
buried sideways, next to her mother.
In another effort to make peace
with the past, she invites her father
and her stepmother to her home
coming show in Detroit, and, along
with a cheering crowd, sings him a
raucous Happy Birthday. Her
brother Christopher Ciccone, a pro
duction assistant and art director on
her show is featured as a major part
of her support network, but another
brother Martin, something of a black
sheep in the family, expresses the
difficulty of living up to his sister's
success. An awkward, hurried re
union with a childhood friend only
serves to underscore her isolation
from everyday people, and her sta
tus as an extremly busy pop icon.
Most "rockumentaries" strive to
reveal something of a performer's
history and roots, and convey not
just the flash but also the rough edges.
"Truth or Dare" shows not only the
technical glitches like faulty trans
mitters and torrential rains, which
make a smooth performance diffi
cult or impossible, but also the per
sonal proolems - jealousy, rivalry,
loneliness, false rumors - which can
disrupt a close-knit family.
Conventional documentaries
usually strive to address some social
ill, and this film is no different. Ma
donna is a long-time champion of
gay rights and has selflessly donated
her time, money and talent for AIDS
fundraisers. Her mostly gay danc
ers are shown cavorting with her,
joking, posing, attending a gay rights
march,and duringagameof truth or
dare, kissing. In a moving group
prayer before thei r last performance,
a benefit performance dedicated to
her late friend, artist Keith Haring,
she urges everyone to do their very
best so that people will come to
gether to support the cause.
Butisall of this the real Madonna?
In a recent interview, she claimed
that noone will ever know the real
her, but that even the partial truth
could be revealing. Warren Beatty
comments at one point, "Turn the
camera off? She doesn't want to live
off-camera, much less talk." True?
Maybe. Daring? Definitely.
