Abstract: The Mediterranean Sea is home to an interesting biodiversity. The current cumulative and descriptive study aims to enumerate some relatively large marine mammals, reptiles, and fishes that have been spotted, caught, by-caught, or stranded on the coast of the Gaza Strip, Palestine, which extends about 42 km

“…The noticeable increase in the number of Wild Boars in the northern West Bank requires a large number of live traps, and this is of course not appreciated by farmers and those affected. In the Gaza Strip, small and mediumsized live traps have been used in trapping different carnivores such as Golden Jackals, Red Foxes, Egyptian Mongooses, Jungle Cats and others[158][159][160][161][162][163]. But the traps will certainly be larger in size for Wild Boars, which vary in size between piglets and adults, which may exceed 100 kg.…”

The Wild Boar (Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758) is now one of the most widely distributed and largest mammalian fauna in Palestine 27,000 km 2 . It is a highly adaptable ungulate that is able to occupy a variety of ecological habitats in Palestine including the Negev Desert. The Wild Boar poses a direct threat to the lives of Palestinians, their farms, domestic animals and their property in the West Bank, which covers an area of about 21% of the total area of Palestine. Wild Boars formed part of the political and military battle in Palestine through the release of huge numbers of these ferocious animals in the West Bank by some Israeli settlers to spread havoc and destruction and to drive the Palestinians away from their lands and properties. The current study aims to determine the potential agricultural, ecological and environmental, and health

A review of the last 399 years (1624–2023) on fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) in the Mediterranean Sea was conducted, based on an extensive compilation of records published in the scientific literature, technical reports, public databases, journals, and social media. A total of 10,716 sightings and 575 mortality events have been computed, analysed by semesters and mapped in order to compare the summer–winter seasons especially and their implications on migration–residence. Visual and acoustic detections, feedings, migrations, primary production areas (chlorophyll), threats and causes of death and their relations have been addressed, and a mini-review on heavy metals and pollutants has been carried out on fin whales in the Mediterranean Sea. Mortality events were most frequent between November and April, coinciding with the decreased sighting period. Ship strikes posed the greatest threat, peaking between May and October, when marine traffic tends to increase in the Mediterranean Sea. Two populations coexist in the Mediterranean Sea, one resident and the other migratory, the latter using the Strait of Gibraltar for its biannual movements. Two areas with a presence of calves (up to 7 m in length) between October and February were detected: one scattered in the northern Mediterranean and the Strait of Gibraltar and its surroundings. A critical zone for collisions has been established according to the results for fin whales in the Mediterranean Sea.
