Happy World Lion Day! 🦁

World Lion Day is celebrated every year on August 10th. It's a global event to raise awareness about protecting lions (Panthera leo), saving their natural homes, and stopping threats like poaching, habitat loss, climate change, and other human-wildlife conflicts.

Did you know, America once had it's own Lion like cat, The American lion (Panthera atrox).

Have a Great Day 😄

You’ve heard of woolly mammoths, but what about woolly tapirs? 🤔Also known as the mountain tapir (Tapirus pinchaque), this species can be found in the cloud forests of South America’s Andes Mountains. Adults can weigh up to 400 lbs (182 kg), and their thick fur coats help insulate them from the cold temperatures of their habitat. Unfortunately, this endangered species is threatened by human activity including hunting and deforestation.

It's like if a black bear wanted to be a pig for Halloween but only had the rubber nose on an elastic string.
