"World Snow Leopard Day"

2022

Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia)

happy world lion day to my favorite animal! i’m so glad there’s a whole day to celebrate this absolutely incredible species :D lions are one of the most crucial animals in their ecosystems in both africa and india, and their social interactions are truly unique and fascinating. sadly, only around 20,000 lions remain, immeasurably fewer than their historical numbers. check out panthera, kopelion, ewaso lions, lion guardians, and other organizations to help save these extraordinary cats 🤍🦁also, i highly recommend the book “the lion: behavior, ecology and conservation of an iconic species” by craig packer. it’s an amazing book that dives deep into every aspect of lion life. here’s some cool lion clips :)

mutual had a really good question and YES, amur leopards have distinctly long and fluffy coats compared to warmer-weather leopard subspecies.

Cheetahs don’t roar like lions and other cats belonging to the species of Pantherinae. These roaring cats have strong muscles and vocal folds in their larynxes, allowing them to roar. The Felinae species, to which Cheetahs belong, actually purr like house-cats because their larynxes are not as developed as the ones of the Pantherinae cats. Cheetahs do whatsoever produce many other sounds including growls and chirps (between mother and cubs) as well as an explosive yelp that travels for up to 2 km.
