Genetics have unveiled what years of morphological analysis got wrong- Miracinonyx trumani, an extinct big cat was thought to be the cheetah’s ancestor. But new evidence suggests they're more closely related to pumas. scitechdaily.com/ancient-dna-... #cheetah #evolution #bigcat

From DNA and parasites, to pollutants & stress hormones- fecal samples from wild cats provide a unique window into their health. In Felidae’s Wild Cat Health Project, we study puma & bobcat health at the urban edge. Findings help identify hotspots in disease risk. jmlt.org/2024/12/11/c...

93°F & still on the move🔥 #Pumas don't sweat through their skin, they pant & sweat through their paw pads. Moving through 90+ degree weather takes serious energy! Notice the open-mouth breathing. That visual panting is evaporative cooling in action.

Puma encounters are VERY rare, yet the Bay Area is still puma country so it's important that we know how to respond if you see one. Remember, they want to avoid us and they do a pretty good job of it. felidaefund.org/learn/safety... #wildlife #puma #mountainlion #hiking #conservation

Every week, 1–2 pumas die on CA roads. In some regions, cars may be killing them faster than the population can replace them. Wildlife crossings, slower driving at dawn & dusk, & your sightings can prevent wildlife-vehicle collisions. 💛 Support our work. Make pumas safe in CA felidaefund.org/donate

In 2002, < than 100 Iberian #lynx remained. Today there are 2,663, thanks to #conservation efforts (captive breeding, more native prey, improved connectivity, partnerships with landowners). Still, 4,500-6,000 lynx are needed for a secure future.

Orange County has one of the highest human population densities in CA, so pumas and bobcats face serious challenges to survive. With camera traps and scat surveys, we’re collecting data on their habitat use and health to better understand how they navigate life at the urban edge. shorturl.at/ODhNC

Mountain lions have a variety of adaptations that make them an apex predator. They have exceptional night vision, which aids their ambush hunting style from dusk to dawn. As with most felids, their claws are retractable which allows them to move silently through brush while stalking prey.
