New paper out in @JVP_vertpaleo📖While at @AMNH in '22 I found a skull labelled Pseudaelurus, a wastebasket genus for felid which turned out to be the most complete cranium of Adelphailurus kansensis, an early-diverging machairodont🦁🔪

New paper out today where we test the 150-year-old hypothesis that a unique jaw torus seen in Nimravus is an adaptation to resist biting forces using FEA🦁🔪 our results highlight some functional advantage of the torus, which are amplified at larger gape👀 royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

UPDATE: Last week, lions were spotted on a fresh giraffe kill right in the middle of the road, and everyone has been dying to know how they managed to catch it.
Turns out someone was there to film the entire hunt. Watch how these lions climb and mount the giraffe before it loses its footing and collapses to the ground. When it slipped, it was over for the giraffe! 😔

Habere bakın! Hazar kaplanı postu bile ele geçirilmiş. Çok üzüldüm. Hazar kaplanı ülkemizde 1970’lere kadar var olan yabani kedi türlerimizden biriydi. Doğru ise sonuncuyu da bu adam avlamış! Biz Şırnak ve Hakkari’de son görüldüğü yerlerde var olabileceğini düşünüyorduk. +

A Pseudo Melanistic Tiger dragging Sambar kill. Tigers drag their kill to hide from scavengers and other predators. Male Sambars can weigh between 225 Kg and 320 Kg. #SimilipalTigerReserve @ntca_india @ForestDeptt @susantananda3 @pccfodisha

Work on Cape Lions featuring indigenous perspectives offers valuable insights into the species' life histories: Once roaming the Cape Flats, these lions faced eradication post-European colonization. See the paper here: doi.org/10.1093/jhered/esad0…

The black tigers of #India. Do you know there are pseudo- melanistic tigers found in Simlipal. They are such due to genetic mutation & highly rare. Such beautiful creature.
