Meet the two cubs of Ngarsis from the Kalama Pride, and they are doing just fine. This little video captures them simply being cubs, curious and playful.

Slept with just the fan running last night at 85°F and it wasn't bad at all. Keeping it spinning today, too. Moving air makes a massive difference in how our bodies adapt to the heat, completely saving on the electricity bill. #SustainableLiving #SaveMoney #EcoFriendly

A reminder to billionaires:
🔹Bank accounts fade into history.
🔹Hoarding wealth destroys the biosphere.
🔹True legacy comes from protecting life.
Use your power to fund wildlife conservation and restore ecosystems before it is too late. @elonmusk @POTUS

[Our Big Cats @ourbigcats]

To the world's wealthiest: your billions won't go to the grave, but the environmental destruction left behind will stay. Stop hoarding the wealth that destroys our planet. Real legacy comes from funding wildlife conservation and restoring the ecosystems you exploit. @JeffBezos

Watched "Leopard Fight Club" last night. What a perfect way to spend a Friday evening! I've had this on my radar for the longest time and can't believe I just now got around to it. Highly recommend.

Commercial captive breeding directly fuels the cruel, profit-driven cycle of canned hunting and cub petting. ❌

Support Blood Lions and partners in demanding a total phase-out of this industry.

Hey @instagram, please review this post. Cub petting drives overbreeding, early maternal separation, and canned hunting. Platforms must stop normalizing this cruel trade:

Pure vanity and ego over empathy. Please review, track, and expose this circle.

Created out of sheer outrage. A wild leopard lives to overcome the brutal realities of nature to earn its place at the top, only to be reduced to a wealthy hunter's private trophy. There is no bravery in using modern weapons to destroy vital wildlife for ego. #EndTrophyHunting

A small announcement: I am starting to post on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. 🌍🐾

Growing across these platforms adds a significant workload, but if it helps reduce the decimation of wild cat populations, it is worth the effort.

Huge news for big cat conservation! 🎉 The world's rarest big cat, the Arabian leopard, is getting a massive boost with a $51.6M gift to the @NationalZoo!

A state-of-the-art habitat breaks ground this summer for these cats. Only ~120 remain in the wild. A monumental step! 🌍💛
