It's hard to believe we are still discovering new species of mammals - but it just happened! There are now two more reasons to love Australia. Meet the newest m...embers of the 'Greater Glider'. The greater glider is a possum-sized marsupial living in the forests of eastern Australia, squeezing into tree hollows during the day and at night soaring up to 100 metres through the air searching for its favourite eucalyptus leaves. And due to the fact that these fluffy little fur-balls are on the 'extinctions' list, makes this find even more remarkable. Connect with Nature! See more

The Santa Ana Zoo is providing shelter for about 150 animals from the Orange County Zoo in Irvine Regional Park that were evacuated on Oct. 26 because of the S...ilverado and Blue Ridge wildfires. Animals were evacuated and transported by 25 County staff and assisted by 12 City staff upon arrival at Santa Ana Zoo. The evacuated animals range in size from bears and mountain lions to Madagascar hissing cockroaches and a desert hairy scorpion. The Santa Ana Zoo is using off-exhibit holding and indoor spaces to provide the animals with safe and comfortable temporary homes until it is safe for them to return to the Orange County Zoo. As in 2017 when the OC Zoo evacuated during the 2017 Santiago fire, the Santa Ana Zoo is proud to be part of a supportive community and to provide aid to its zoo neighbors. #silveradofire #blueridgefire #staysafe #neighborshelpingneighbors @ocparks

Lifesavers is teaming up with Skydog Sanctuary to address The Great Betrayal of America's Wild Horses. The Bureau of Land Management cooked up a recipe for di...saster when they created the Adoption Incentive Program that offered $$ to adopters/purchasers of captured wild horses. The premise was that the adopters would have aid in caring for the horse while it was being gentled and trained. But, of course, so many of the so-called adopters just took the horse and the money and 1 year later when they received the title from the BLM, the horse would then be dumped at the auction and sold for slaughter. This is a betrayal not only of our mustangs that deserve better, but also it is a betrayal of the American people who have proven to care about the welfare of our wild horses, and whose taxes are supporting the Wild Horse and Burro Program. Americans expect the BLM to honor the intent of the law that is to protect our horses from harrassment and death and not sell them for commercial purposes - yet the BLM has been caught breaking the law over and over again. Skydog has been identifying these betrayed mustangs at auctions and killpens and taking in as many as they can hoping to find homes for the young and trainable horses. They are seeing dozens and dozens of 2 and 3 year old mustangs being shipped to slaughter. Lifesavers has agreed to take a few of the younger, adoptable, trainable horses to help with Skydog's goal of saving as many as possible. We will need your assistance. paypal.me/savingwildhorses Any amount will be a blessing. But the answer is not to save them all by purchasing them from the killers, but by getting the SAFE ACT passed making it illegal to buy, sell, or transport any American horse for the purpose of human consumption i.e. slaughter. We must never become complacent. We must fight for the safety and freedom of America's Wild Horses. Please contact your members of Congress and push them to support HR 961 - the SAFE ACT https://docs.house.gov//IF14/202/110423/BILLS-116961ih.pdf We also urge our fellow Wild Horse Rescue organizations to join the team and make room for a few of these betrayed mustangs that Skydog has taken under its wings.

Many people have seen the video of a hiker’s encounter with a mountain lion on a trail in Utah that has recently gone viral. Unfortunately the news and social m...edia outlets sharing this footage have misinterpreted what this mother mountain lion was doing and, by their sensationalized headlines, they are doing more harm to an already maligned and imperiled species. If you chose to share the video or see it posted in other locations, please be sure to help politely educate other viewers by sharing this information: Beth Pratt is the Director of National Wildlife Federation, California and a mountain lion expert. Her assessment is that the video shows a mother cat protecting her kittens, not a person being "stalked" by the mountain lion. Mountain lions are stealth hunters, which means they ambush their prey. If the cat was stalking him, the hiker wouldn't know it until shortly before she pounced on him. In this video she is escorting him away from her kittens. Mountain lion attacks are incredibly rare-- you are more likely to be hit by lightning or win the lottery than you are to be attacked by a mountain lion (here's more information on that: https://www.mountainlion.org/newsstory.php?news_id=1670) In the very rare occurrence of an encounter with a big cat you want to yell, back away facing the cat and throw rocks. Make yourself look big and threatening, and don't run. Thank you to Lesley Sampson for this meme.
