Happy International Lynx Day 😄

International Lynx Day takes place on Thursday, 11 June 2026, raising awareness of the world's four lynx species and the conservation challenges they face.

The day shines attention on these elusive wild cats, from the critically recovering Iberian lynx to the snow-adapted Canada lynx, and encourages support for the projects working to protect them.

What is International Lynx Day?:

International Lynx Day is an annual conservation observance dedicated to the lynx, a genus of medium-sized wild cats recognised by their short tails, large furred paws, and distinctive tufted ears.

The day was created to highlight the threats lynx face in the wild, including habitat loss, road collisions, and illegal hunting, and to celebrate the conservation work that has brought some populations back from the brink.

It is marked by zoos, wildlife organisations, and conservation projects across Europe and beyond.

Happy a great day ☺️

On The Topic of The 6th Mass Extinction Currently Happening.

•"Honestly. The planet will be fine. It may take a while but the planet itself will survive. Ideonella sakaiensis digests plastic (slowly) you mentioned the worms. It's absolutely humans that will suffer and other animals that can't adapt/evolve quickly enough." Credit: @willowsartemporium (Instagram)

•"George Carlin had a great part of his set with messaging very similar to what you've said here.

'The earth isn't going anywhere, we are'

It's sad that so many people who would have the potential power to change things over the last century have chosen the dollar instead." Credit: @cam_chisholm (Instagram)

•"Life will absolutely will continue moving on, the change and impact that humanity as a whole is doing to the biosphere of the planet is probably considered a ecological rough bump but fairly managble so life as a whole will live on but whether or not humans will be part of that is a completely different story."

Phishing scam attempt encountered! wahoo

A blog named "confirm-page" tagged my sideblog (and various other blogs) in the comments under its post claiming that a "minor anomaly" was detected with my account, telling me to verify my account within 48 hours by clicking a random link.

I did not click the link, of course; I reported the account for phishing and then blocked it. Just wanted to share what it looked like in case anyone else encounters it and isn't sure whether it's legit or not! :)

Tumblr would NOT contact you through tagging you on a post like this (never will); they would contact you privately e.g. via email if there was an issue. If you're unsure of if something is actually from Tumblr, either report it (my preferred method) or look up which email address to contact Tumblr though, and use that to ask them if it's legit or not!

Edit: seems like there are multiple different blogs doing this, so keep an eye out I guess

I Hope Zeus's birth mama knows she created an absolute angel ☺️😊

Only a year or two I was Absolutely scared to be around dogs, I would always avoid them. But then my Big Brother Austin introduced me to Zeus, and he turned my life around for the better.

Thank you Austin, I'm ever Greatful 😊😄

Was at the beach earlier today and I saw this Gorgeous Male Boat-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus major) 🐦‍⬛

(Text Source: Allaboutbirds.org):

Boat-tailed Grackles are large, lanky songbirds with rounded crowns, long legs, and fairly long, pointed bills. Males have very long tails that make up almost half their body length and that they typically hold folded in a V-shape, like the keel of a boat.

Males are glossy black all over. Females are dark brown above and russet below, with a subtle face pattern made up of a pale eyebrow, dark cheek, and pale "mustache" stripe. Eye color ranges from dull brown along the western Gulf Coast to bright yellow along the Atlantic Coast.

These scrappy blackbirds are supreme omnivores, feeding on everything from seeds and human food scraps to crustaceans scavenged from the shoreline.

Boat-tailed Grackles are a strictly coastal species through most of their range; however, they live across much of the Florida peninsula, often well away from the immediate coast.

Have a Great Evening 😄

Protest should be disruptive. If the system approves, you're doing it wrong. Be loud. Take space. Interrupt. Be Violent. If the system starts fighting back, you're doing it right.
