Question

Q1 Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below:

Sniffer dog Tucker uses his nose to help researchers find out why a killer whale

population off the northwest coast of the United States is on the decline. He searches

for whale faeces floating on the surface of the water, which are then collected for

examination. He is one of the elite team of detection dogs used by scientists studying

a number of species including right whales and killer whales. Conservation canines

are fast becoming indispensable tools for biologists according to Aimee Hurt,

associate director and co-founder of Working Dogs for Conservation, based in Three

Forks,Montana.

Over the last few years, though, so many new conservation dog projects have sprung

up that Hurt can no longer keep track of them all. Her organization’s dogs and their

handlers are fully booked to assist field researchers into 2012.

“Dogs have such a phenomenal sense of smell”, explained Sam Wasser, director of

the Center for Conservation biology at the University of Washington in Seattle. He has

worked with scat-detection dogs since 1999. Scientists have been using Conservation

Canines in their research since 1999. These dogs have enabled them to non-

invasively access vast amount of genetic and physiological information which is used

to tackle conservation problems around the world. Such information has proved vital

for determining the causes and consequences of human disturbances on wildlife as

well as the actions needed to mitigate such impacts. The ideal detection dog is

extremely energetic with an excessive play drive. These dogs will happily work all day

long, motivated by the expectation of a ball game as a reward for sample detection.

The obsessive, high energy personalities of detection dogs also make them difficult to

maintain as pets. As a result, they frequently find themselves abandoned to animal

shelters, facing euthanasia. The programme rescues these dogs and offers them a

satisfying career in conservation research.
