A rare Pampas cat, also known as a colocolo, that lives in the forests of Chile.
With fewer than 100 individuals left in the wild, experts call Muñoa's pampas cat one of the most endangered felines in the world and warn it go extinct within 10 years as its natural habitat is cleared for cropland.

Without a doubt, our best trail camera capture yet: the first documented observation of a cougar with kittens in Minnesota in modern history. Turn up the volume to hear all the vocalizations.

The footage, which was captured on March 25, shows a cougar with 3 large kittens while they feed on a deer they killed just south of Voyageurs National Park.

We captured this surreal footage because we started a study to understand the survival and mortality patterns of deer in our area this winter. As part of that work, we GPS-collared several deer in the area in January. 

In late March, we received a mortality signal from a GPS-collared deer and found the carcass buried under a pile of leaves on a hillside—a tell tale sign of feline predation. 

We suspected it was likely a bobcat but thought, just possibly, it could be a cougar. So we put up two trail cameras on the cached deer carcass and 4 hours later, two cougar kittens returned to the kill.

The entire family showed up that evening and spent hours in front of our cameras. In total, we captured 7.3 hr (435 minutes) of video footage of these animals. We will share more footage soon!

Huge thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for supporting the Voyageurs Wolf Project and the recent effort to understand deer survival in the area. Their support was critical to this observation—without it, we would never have captured this footage.

And huge thanks to the >10,600 donors who have supported our project and enabled us to purchase trail cameras supplies. The cameras (and batteries, SD cards, mounts) we set at this kill were purchased with funds from donations.

The word is monkeywrench.
@WSUPullman was monkeywrenched by animal welfarists because @WSUvetmed refused to do the right thing for the teaching animals for 50 ongoing years. After half a century of untold multiple requests by their students, their graduates, animal welfare organizations, and concerned others, they refused to listen or respond appropriately regarding the decent care of their teaching animals, if at all.

There was no other choice to achieve the surgery-teaching-animal welfare goal other than monkeywrenching them, a crimson monkeywrenching, at that.
Gabriel Fielding is rolling in his grave.

If the tin-eared @MurrowCollege wasn’t in on the monkeywrenching, they should have been.

In 2011, East Coast pumas were declared extinct, largely due to overhunting. Recently, some individuals have appeared in the eastern states. Large wildlife habitat patches in the Appalachians, New England, and Ozarks may be suitable for pumas and could allow them to re-establish-

[Felidae Conservation Fund @FelidaeFund]

Did you know pumas have the largest home range of any land mammal in the Western Hemisphere? When undisturbed, a male's home range can be over 1,000 sq. km. Here in the greater Bay Area, home ranges are heavily constricted as urban encroachment fragments the landscape-

Canada lynx avoid human activity and stick to remote habitats where their oversized, snowshoe paws help them move silently. Snowshoe hare make up the majority of the lynx diet, but they'll also eat grouse, squirrels, moles and more.

Most pigs used for meat are killed in CO₂ gas chambers. They panic, scream and burn as the gas forms acid in their eyes, throats and lungs. If you heard your neighbour was doing this to his pets, you'd call it torture, and that's what it is for these pigs.

People in the Bible faced the same challenges we face today. Here we see Samson trying to give his cat a pill.
