  • Within by Cheri McEachin

    The jaguar is a near threatened species and its numbers are declining. Threats include habitat loss and fragmentation. While international trade in jaguars or their parts is prohibited, the cat is still regularly killed by humans, particularly in conflicts with ranchers and farmers in South America. Although reduced, its range remains large; given its historical distribution, the jaguar has featured prominently in the mythology of numerous indigenous American cultures, including that of the Maya and Aztec. / (from Wikipedia) /

  • Tag Team by ECGardner

    Usually a tag team like this isn’t really fair, but somehow I think that Mama Tiger can handle herself with these two. :) It’s nice to see tiger breeding programs in action, as tigers are on the critically endangered list. Unfortunately, these beautiful animals are the white bengal variant, which is not found naturally in the wild and is a product of the white tiger breeding trade. These beautiful and innocent tiger cubs were not bred by the zoo; rather, the mother tiger was rescued from a breeder and she was already pregnant when the zoo rescued her. In fact, the American Zoological Association prohibits its members from acquiring and breeding white tigers because the rate of genetic defects is high and the white tiger trade engages in terribly unethical practices.

  • Midnight Sleeper by Julie Langford

    Thought I would have a go at some photo manipulation. I used a sky image from a tutorial file that I found in the RedBubble forum and just played around with the lion image. / / Challenge Cafe – Truly Blue Example

  • Cougar doing a kitty-sleep by Glitter

    This photo is taken at the Olmense Zoo (Olmen, Belgium). / Don’t you just love their cute look (claws and teeth not included) (: A quick bio on these beautifull creatures: class: Mammalia (mammals) / order: Carnivora (carnivores) / family: felidae (felines) / genus: puma They go under the names Puma, Panther, Mountain Lion, American Lion and Cougar etc…. The cougar holds the Guinness record for the animal with the highest number of names, presumably due to its wide distribution across North and South America. It has over 40 names in English alone!!! Being the largest of the small cats, they are slender and agile cats. / And although they resemble the domestic cat, they are about the same size as an adult human, with a maximum of about 3 metres!! An adult paw print is approximately 10 cm… that’s 4 inches! The gray wolf and the cougar compete more directly for prey, especially during the winter. While individually more powerful than the gray wolf, a solitary cougar may be dominated by the pack structure of the wolves. / Wolves can steal killings of the cougar and occasionally kill the cougar as well. Cougars (as well as other cat-likes) deserve respect and admiration from all humans! They may look like domestic cats, but are none the less wild animals living on survival instincts only!
