Just got around to watching Netflix's Living with Leopards and officially adding Mochima to our list of big cat super moms. Surprised to see it sitting at a 7.4 on IMDb. This is easily another top-tier nature documentary. How would you rate it? #LivingWithLeopards #NatureDocumentary 📷 @netflix.com

Finally checked "Africa's Fishing Leopards" off our wishlist! 🐆🎣 Thought this was completely unavailable after checking Prime Video and major platforms. Turns out it is accessible on both BBC and Documentary Area: 🔸 BBC: www.bbc.com/video/docs/e... 🔸 DocArea: www.documentaryarea.com/video/Africa...

Finally made good use of that forced streaming bundle. Watched all 4 parts of #NatGeoLION in one sitting! 🦁 Once again, a mother in the wild shows courage and wisdom that transcends species: proving they aren't so different from us, and deserve our respect and protection. 🐾 #BigCats #Wildlife

Sightseeing doesn't justify a carbon footprint. Period. Flying to tick off a country map is purely extractive. If we take to the skies, it must serve a purpose: funding wild spaces, protecting big cat habitats, and supporting frontline communities. #BigCats #Conservation

Friday night well spent watching Leopard Huntress! 🐆✨ Learning more about our beloved Malaika never gets old. She is the mother of Chipadzua, who goes on to star in her own episode of Africa's Hunters (S3, E4: "The Leopard Who Changed Her Spots"). Anyone else following this lineage?

As if lion cubs aren’t cute enough already, these Samburu cubs are rocking some seriously impressive ears. Due to the intense northern Kenyan heat, local prides have adapted with lighter manes, making their striking facial features beautifully distinct from a young age. 🦁🇰🇪

Created out of sheer outrage. A wild leopard spends its life overcoming 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

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

A high-detail, tight-crop portrait of an Arabian leopard's face. The leopard has striking pale-green eyes and long, prominent white whiskers. The lighting is warm and bright, focusing on the intensity of its gaze. The background consists of softly blurred, neutral earthy tones.

A true legacy is more than what we leave behind. It is what we ensure remains. Supporting the @lionrecoveryfund.bsky.social means 100% of funds go to the field to double the wild lion population. High impact, zero overhead. @mcuban.bsky.social Will you fund a lasting legacy for the wild?

Yo folks, FYI: I stopped supporting Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) in June 2025. These images show one of the main reasons why. When donor-funded strategy shifts from saving a species to lazy office memes and marketing fluff, the mission is lost. Conservation needs results.

A screenshot of an Instagram post from ccfcheetahuk dated February 23. The post features the same "crying over Zoom" meme. The caption reads: "POV: You want to work in cheetah conservation. Spoiler: yes, you’ll track wildlife and watch cheetahs all day... But you’ll also write emails. Lots of them..." A comment from a user expresses fear of Zoom meetings. The original Instagram URL is visible in the top left corner for verification.

$A screenshot of an Instagram post from ccfcheetahuk dated February 21. The image shows a close-up of a cheetah with blood on its muzzle sitting next to a carcass it has just killed. The caption reads: "A successful hunt. Cheetahs only succeed in a fraction of their hunts... This is what it takes to survive in the wild." The post has 161 likes and several heart emojis in the comments. The original Instagram URL is visible in the top left corner for verification.$
