Panthera Puma Program Director Mark Elbroch tells Lewiston Tribune what to do if you encounter a #puma in the wild saying, "What you should do with a cat that is being aggressive is be aggressive back...I take two steps toward them, and I yell and appear as large as I can. You can use words, or if you are scared out of your wits use a primal scream. You want to be as loud and as aggressive as you can.” These #bigcats aren't known for attacking humans and will likely run away when startled.

In Celebration of #InternationalSnowLeopardDay, this week's #FieldWorkFriday takes us to the Tien Shan Mountains of #Kyrgyzstan, where together with Фонд Илбирс and partners from around the world, Snow Leopard Program Conservation Scientist Shannon Kachel conducted fieldwork for his soon-to-be-completed dissertation on the ecology of #snowleopards, #wolves and their shared prey. To help us understand how these #carnivores live out their lives, and their impacts on each other, the team spent many months at a time living #offthegrid, operating entirely on foot and horseback, contending with harsh weather, challenging terrain, and notoriously elusive species. On any given day, gathering the data they were after might entail paddling or wading across ice-cold glacial meltwater streams, climbing into the unknown on the side of unnamed mountains, observing prey species for hours at a time, and visiting clusters of GPS collar locations.
Can you tell which #bigcat each of these photos belongs to? Scroll down to see the answer! The solid spots on the left are from a #cheetah while the rosettes with inner spots on the right belong to a #jaguar.
After 36 days the #jaguar Ousado, rescued from the #Pantanal's fires, has returned home. Thanks to medical treatments from NEX, in Corumbá de Goiás-GO, Ousado made a quick recovery and was discharged from hospital. On October 19, this big cat was anesthetized and collared with a GPS tracker before being released in the same area where he was rescued. Scientists, including Panthera's Fernando Tortato, will monitor his progress and track his movements in Porto Jofre-Pantanal. Ousado’s return home symbolizes the successful efforts of all those fighting fires and rescuing affected #wildlife. Special thanks to all the institutions involved in the rescue, including Ampara Animal, SEMA-MT, UFMT, Panthera, the Pantanal Relief Fund and Instituto Chico Mendes.

Panthera applauds the passing of the #BigCatPublicSafetyAct (H.R.1380) in the United States House of Representatives yesterday. Panthera supports this bipartisan legislation (which now goes to the Senate) to end commercial #captivebreeding and exploitation of #tigers and other #wildcats in this country. Panthera’s Chief Scientist Dr. John Goodrich stated, “We believe that breeding tigers and other big cats for profit has created an animal welfare, public safety and law enforcement nightmare in the U.S. If rigorously enforced, the Big Cat Public Safety Act will not only protect people and captive-bred cats but will also help to dismantle an industry with insidious implications for big cats by shrinking the availability of their parts for the global illegal wildlife trade.” Read more about our stance on this piece of #legislation and the issue of #commercialcaptivebreeding: https://bit.ly/2VDgHEK Photo by Nick Garbutt Wildlife Photography

This #FieldworkFriday comes from Panthera Snow Leopard Team's conservation scientist Shannon Kachel who tells us, "Although most of the data collected by GPS collars is transmitted via satellite, some remains in the collar - meaning that when a collar falls off the animal (when they have collected enough data) we need to go find it. #Snowleopard M3 dropped his collar 1,000 meters up the side of an unnamed mountain, in steep, technical terrain.

Today we celebrate the birthday of Panthera's late co-founder, Dr. #AlanRabinowitz (1953-2018). Known as 'The Indiana Jones of Wildlife Protection,' Alan was a fearless and determined champion for #wildcats. From an early age, he made it his mission to be a voice for the voiceless. Thanks to all of Panthera’s supporters, we have kept his vision alive and will continue to do so into 2021 and beyond. Learn how you can join us: https://bit.ly/3rsY1pZ
"It is heartening to see tigers being translocated into western Rajaji – a habitat that can hold over 40 individuals. Hopefully this supplementation will help avert local extinction of #tigers at this site. But the long term viability of this population can only be ensured by restoring connectivity to eastern Rajaji, and this needs strong political will," says Panthera's Tiger Program Deputy Director Dr. Abishek Harihar. http://bit.ly/3mUSCEI Learn more about Dr. Harihar's 13-year study of the #bigcats of this #NationalPark: https://bit.ly/37Uu1ve HINDUSTANTIMES.COM First tigress tranquilized, radio-collared for translocation to Rajaji Tiger Reserve
Panthera’s #conservation work has long benefitted #smallcats and other #wildlife in the habitats of the iconic seven #bigcats. However, in 2018 we officially launched our Small Cats Program to expand our understanding of these increasingly threatened species and how to protect them. Since then, we have supported projects to directly study and protect over 15 species of small #wildcats including the #fishingcat, #cloudedleopard and #ocelot.

Panthera Puma Program 20 hrs · Happy Caturday! Here, one of our #OlympicCougarProjects’ camera traps on the #OlympicPeninsula in Washington State caught a bobcat walking by with a freshly killed aplodontia, or mountain beaver. Aplodontia are a Pacific northwest specialty, and are the oldest known rodent in North America, in terms of evolution. They are mostly nocturnal, but while they are out of their burrows and exploring for food, they become prey for bobcats and local mountain lions as well. We are launching new bobcat research in collaboration with the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe in our study area in the next month, and we look forward to learning more about how mountain lions, or cougars as they are called locally, and bobcats compete and coexist on the landscape. Our camera study is a collaborative effort with 5 First Nations. Our partner on everything on the Olympic Peninsula, the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, as well as the Skokomish, Makah, Jamestown S'Klallam, and Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribes. #Bobcat #Bobcats #Pantheracats #Pantherapumaprogram #Caturday #WildlifeScience #Pumaresearch

Why do #lions have manes? Panthera Program Manager Kristoffer Everatt says that research points to a lion’s mane as a product of sexual selection, rather than natural selection. This means that females show preferences for bigger, darker manes. Male lions with these traits will then get to mate more and pass on those genes more frequently. This situation is similar to that of a male peacock’s elaborate feather display.

Time for another #SmallCatSpotlight! This time we're focusing on the beautiful #ocelot- one of the biggest #smallcats in the Americas. Recognized by their stocky build and beautiful fur coats, populations are decreasing due to habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as persecution related to conflict with humans and small livestock predation. We are studying ocelots in the Brazilian #Pantanal and across #Mesoamerica to learn more about these #wildcats and how to better protect them.

Panthera’s suite of talented scientists, my fellow Global Alliance members and I all share a deep-rooted dedication to unearthing the science that will help conserve wild cats, reversing species’ declines, elevating their unsung plight with our voices and making their preservation a global priority for all.” Learn more about our exciting new Global Alliance member: https://www.panthera.org/ayers http://bit.ly/3f4Engd TODAYSVETERINARYBUSINESS.COM Ayers Foundation Gives $20 Million to Protect Wild Cats - Today's Veterinary Business

#NewsAlert: We are both honored and thrilled to announce that philanthropist Jon Ayers has joined Panthera’s Global Alliance for Wild Cats. Pledging at least $20 million over the next 10 years for #wildcatconservation, Ayers' commitment will shine a spotlight on the 33 species of small cats so unfamiliar to much of the world and provide a magnificent boost to conservation initiatives (including some of the world's first-ever) carried out on their behalf. After suffering a catastrophic bicycling accident in 2019 that left him a quadriplegic, Ayers stepped down as Chairman, President and CEO of IDEXX Laboratories, a veterinary-services corporation focused on the health of cats, other pets and livestock. Since then, Ayers has enthusiastically turned his attention from companion animals to the survival of cats in the wild. “As I embark on this exciting phase of my life and career, I cannot imagine a more meaningful venture than dedicating one’s full-hearted passion to protecting these extraordinary animals – the charismatic wild cats of the world – whose existence is so essential to the health of our planet...Wild cat conservation is a very tangible cause on which I know I can have an impact. One of the things that drew me to Panthera is its focus on wild cats – and focus leads to impact. Panthera’s suite of talented scientists, my fellow Global Alliance members and I all share a deep-rooted dedication to unearthing the science that will help conserve wild cats, reversing species’ declines, elevating their unsung plight with our voices and making their preservation a global priority for all.” Learn more about this exciting news: panthera.org/ayers Photo by Sebastian Kennerknecht Photography
