HAPPY INTERNATIONAL LION DAY

This celebration was founded by Big Cat Rescue, the world’s largest accredited sanctuary dedicated to big cats.

Even though they are sometimes referred to as the 'king of the jungle', lions are under grave threat due to a number of man-made issues, including poaching and deforestation. The lion population is rapidly declining. Therefore to spread awareness about the lions and the issues faced by them World Lion Day is observed on August 10 every year.

Lion numbers have dramatically declined to the point where the species needs to be placed on the endangered list, just like its larger cousin the tiger.

According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, lions are a “vulnerable” species, meaning that their numbers could and should be higher. Currently, researchers estimate that there are between 30,000 and 100,000 lions left on planet Earth.

Over the course of five decades, the global lion population has decreased by about 90%.

The threats against lions are many: they face the dual specters of increasingly popular “trophy hunting” and human incursion on their traditional wildlands. A reduction in food combined with hunting tourism is making them more vulnerable with every passing year.

Raise awareness on Lion Day and the issues that the species faces in the wild, share photos of this big cat with your friends, support the protection of natural habitats.

Facts about lions

• While female lions perform the majority of the hunting, male lions guard the pride's territory. Nevertheless, the males always eat first.

• The most social of all the big cats, African lions live in packs called 'prides'. About 15 lions make up a pride.

• While a lion can run at 50 mph for short distances and leap 36 feet, its roar can be heard up to five miles away.

• The colour of a male lion's mane is a reliable indicator of his age. The older the lion, the darker his mane.

• Lions are the second-largest cat in the world, just behind the Asian tiger.

• Lions are typically found in grasslands and plains rather than the forests.

Jelly-ve it or not, the lion’s mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) is one of the world’s longest animals. This jumbo-sized jelly trails a “mane” of more than 800 stinging tentacles that are covered in cells with venom that stun prey, including other jellyfish, small crustaceans, and zooplankton. Just how long is the lion’s mane jellyfish? Well, its tentacles can grow more than 100 feet (30 meters) long! In fact, the longest examples of this species—which inhabit the Arctic Ocean—are even longer than the longest known blue whale. Come see a life-size model of one at the Museum’s Hall of Biodiversity!

Hooray, my mail order pup-scription is here!

In reality this little pup got lost and ended up on someone's porch. Not to worry, the home owner did the right thing and the little guy is now at the Marine Mammal Care center who can evaluate them for any necessary care before release back into the wild.

#sea lion #pinnipeds #pinniped #Listen I'd be thrilled if a baby sea lion showed up to my door but seeing as I live nowhere near the ocean it would probably go badly #If not a mail order pupscription perhaps the result of a very confused stork #Others on the server have suggested the stork did indeed do their job correctly however #seals and sea lions are naturally drawn to baskets and having a basket on your porch can result in this happening #Which I suppose they have a point #Pinnipeds just can't resist a nice basket. That's just how it is.#Thank you for sharing Bozo!#Edit: Y'all in the comments and that walrus post days ago lol

A Pinniped Party

In the fall, it’s not unusual to see an influx of California sea lions in the area. Old Fisherman’s Wharf is the pupular post-breeding hangout for male California sea lions. These suave swimmers typically hit the marinas and wharfs for some well-deserved R&R this time of year. Monterey Bay, teeming with life and rich nutrients, provides the perfect place for their aquatic escapades. Don't be surprised if you find juveniles joining the fun – this area is a favorite hangout spot for young sea lions too!

If you’re in the area and lucky enough to sea these pleasant pinnipeds, please remember to be sealf-aware and give them ample room. Aim to keep a respectable distance of 50 yards away.
