What is wildlife? Answer-The fundemental legal doctrine regarding wildlife in the United
States implies that states- and in some cases federal government - have authority over wildlife,
not landowners.m "wildlife" is not universally defined; it changes with the viewpoint of the user
(Caughley and Sinclair 1994)
In general, the wildlife profession considers wildlife to be free-living, wild animals (excluding
feral or exotic species) of major significance to humans. This definition includes the associated
plants and lower animals (micro organisms) because wildlife habitats are interlocked and cannot
be considered separately.
What is the difference between active and passive management? Answer-Active
management: Actively does something to the population such as hunting or translocation to
increase/decrease size or altering the habitat to benefit/detriment the population. Other
examples include predator control & habitat improvements (to reduce neonatal mortality).
Inactive management: Inactive management instead, aims to minimize external influences on
populations and habitat by managing humans rather than animals. (Ex. National parks).
Passive management: The decision to do nothing is still a management decision, known as
passive management. All populations are managed in some way.
What are the four different goals of wildlife management? Answer-Increase population
Decrease population
Harvest for sustained yield (game animals for hunting)
What is basal metabolic rate? Answer-The energy used when animals are lying, calm,
fasted, and not thermally stressed; measured
for numerous wildlife species in captivity
What is the importance of protein? Answer-Protein is important to wildlife because it is a
major constituent of the animal body; enables
movement of muscle fibers and biochemical reactions with enzymes
Why is water important to wildlife? Answer-It is the most essential nutrient for all wildlife
and drives the ecological life histories of many desert species
What is body condition? Why is it important? Answer-It is a general term for an animal's
level of energy reserves and results from the integration of nutrient requirements and food
intake
Why do small and young animals require more energy per unit mass than older, or larger

What three sources do animals obtain water from? Answer-Free water in the
environment, preformed water in food, and metabolic water produced
