Support BCR

Hey everybody! I just wanted to post since I haven't posted in awhile. Anyway I would like to encourage readers to take a look at Tampa Florida's Big Cat Rescue (BCR). It's a huge rescue built for big cats and it rescues them from mistreating owners, shut down zoos, and rejects. Right now there are about a hundred and up big cats at the rescue, and they are all cared for, cleaned, and aloud to live with companions, such as the case of the white tiger Zabu and her male lion friend Camern. They were allowed to be together because they were raised together. You can even find videos on the cats there if you go to YouTube and look at the leopards, snow leopards, lions, tigers, sand cats, and more. There's even a liger, Freckles. If you want to go to the website, the link is below.

Breaking news: Is this tigers' last hope?

Hey everybody! Guess what? On Thursday night, I watched a commentary about if tigers could live in the Himalayas. Well guess what? They can! The guy knows there are at lease two adult tigers, male and female, roaming around! It's incredible, but it could be the tigers last chance for survival. This could be there one and only chance! But how long until the hunters discover it, and wipe out the tigers forever?

                 Tigers (Panthera Tigris)

Sploosh! Oh whoops sorry did not mean to splash you! Tigers are the swimmers in the cat family, and love the water. And they even hunt in the water! They also are sly predators on land. The silky, striped coat hides them as they slide silently through the grass of Southeast Asia, China, Korea, and Russia. These big cats are endangered and are most often hunted for their beautiful striped fur. Help do more to protect them!






                         Snowflake Tigers
Snowflake tigers (as I call them) are tigers but they are white. Snowflake tigers and regular tigers get along very well. They are beautiful white cats with jet black stripes running up and down their sides. These too are endangered! Help them!

Whoops! On last post to was supposed to be two. Sorry!

Leopards And Lions

You have witnessed two different types of big cats so far; lions and leopards. After this post to more cats will wind their way into my blog bringing with them stripes and spots. Stay tuned for more posts about big cats!!!

                                Leopards (Panthera Pardus)

Leopards are a spotted, endangered beauty that roam in all parts of Africa south from Sahara, Asia east of Indus and south of Mongolia, and Indonesia. This sly creature hunts by day in early morning and late afternoon and by night at twilight. It will just about eat any game, large or small, often dropping down on it from its leafy perch in the trees. Oh! That's another thing about these wondrous cats, they can climb almost any tree and are the best climbers in the cat family. They can climb a tree with prey twice their size!!! Wowzers!






                     Little Known Fact


Black leopards are only hostile because when leopard mothers give birth to an almost black leopard, they drive them away giving them the hostile attitude. Poor babies!

 Lions (Panthera Leo)

ROAR!! These big cats' roar can be heard from at least 4 miles away on the southern African plains. Lions are a very distinct (stand out) cat, not just because of the male's appearence, but of the fact that lions are actually the only big cat to live in a group! These groups are called prides. Most prides have about 5 lions in them. Prides mostly consist of lioness (such as in the picture above) that work together to bring down large prey weighing as 2,200 pounds!!!! That's heavy!!!











                       Rarely noticed
They are the snowflakes on the golden plain. They are still lions even if they are not the smooth golden that lions are. White lions aren't widely known, but they are still lions, still live in prides, still work together.
