Wildlife and Insects
| The country of Jordan has a multitude of environments from
rugged mountains to flat deserts. There are many animals and insects that can make the
area unpleasant if you are not aware of these "local residents" of the
countryside, and even in the cities. Consult your travel guides and your local medical
office, if you have concerns. |
| Cats and dogs around ACOR and the cities/villages are not
house pets. They are feral and some carry diseases. Do not play with, feed or harrass the
cats. They are providing a valuable service by eliminating rodents and other large
insects, but they are not a part of the household, so do not try to make them so. |
| No pets are authorized to be kept at ACOR. Fellows and
residents cannot bring pets to the facility. |
