223. Poten, Constance J. 1991. America's illegal wildlife trade; A shameful harvest. 180(3):106- 

 132. 



This article brings out the illegal trade in all types of wildlife by some greedy "sportsman", guides and 

 black marketeers. Some materials are just for "trophies", food, parts, or the pet trade. Many of the 

 photos are gruesome and should alert the general populace to turn in these exploiters to authorities. 

 A few in this gruesome business gives a black-eye to the legitimate majority of sportsmen.

 population. A Mongoose crushes the head of a ghorapachar snake in a shown photo of it and it is 

 stated that tlght's are often staged as a tourist attraction. The Mugger Crocodile is worshipped in 

 temple pools but not poached from hunters seeking its valuable skin.

 the subject of this article. Photos are shown of a turtle, greensnake, monitor, crocodiles (in and out),

 miles. Mention's of poisonous snakes such as Coral Snakes, Fer-de-Lances, Bushmaster and the 

 Alligator {Caiman or Lagarto).

This article concerns Australia's Great Barrier Reef, one of the wonders of the world. Shown are sea 

 turtles with a Green Turtle laying eggs. What is interesting is that the Aborigines of the Barrier Reef 

 use Remora as living "fish hooks" to capture turtles. Bathers also ride swimming turtles. Shown is 

 the capture of sea turtles by placing ropes around their flippers.
