Good news in big cat news. First cheetah cubs born in India since extinction 70 years ago. Tigers that scored higher on words such as confident, competitive, and ambitious fell under what the researchers labeled as the “majesty” mindset. With her third litter (three cubs!), Florence the lioness has now given birth to approximately one third of Senegal’s Niokolo Koba National Park 's lion population.
Per the 2022 Big Cat Public Safety Act, which was finally passed into law this past December, people who own big cats have until June 18 to officially register them with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, after which they will be allowed to possess them but not breed or sell them.

I guess it's true what they say, that cheetahs never prosper.

It’s too soon to tell now, but I am curious if there is any worry about a genetic bottleneck phenomenon with the Senegalese lions
