"It's not enough to love animals; we must actively protect and preserve them. It's our duty and responsibility as custodians of this planet." ~ Daphne Sheldrick

Nothing is spookier than extinction. Read the latest blog post by Senior Food Campaigner, Jennifer Molidor to find out why the ones who go "bump" in the night — like bats, spiders, owls, snakes, frogs, and wolves — are worth saving. @biologicaldiversity.org medium.com/center-for-b...

The Courage Within "Like a tiger, you don't have to roar to prove your strength. Sometimes the greatest courage is found in simply standing tall and believing in yourself." ~ Truman Tiger #Truman #Tiger #NTS #NationalTigerSanctuary #Branson #bransonmo #Sayings #quotes

GOOD NIGHT from Bashir, our handsome white tiger! Somebody has officially entered FULL RELAXATION MODE! With his big paws in the air, his head resting comfortably on his favorite wooden platform, and just the tiniest bit of tongue peeking out, Bashir seems to have mastered the art of doing absol

TWO WOLVES, ONE SPECIAL FRIENDSHIP! Meet Shadow & Ozzy! Who says you have to be related to be family? Certainly not these two handsome fellows! Meet Shadow and Ozzy, our beautiful timber wolves who have found friendship, companionship, and a forever home here at National Tiger Sanctuary!

GOOD MORNING from the beautiful Kiara! "Good morning, everyone! Yes, I know I'm beautiful, but please... try not to stare. A lady needs her morning coffee before dealing with her adoring fans!" #GoodMorning #Kiara #Lioness #NationalTigerSanctuary #CatFacts #Lions #Amazing #Animals #BigCats

Has Dakar turned over a new leaf... or is he just plotting his next move? Our handsome white tiger, Dakar, is usually quite the mischievous prankster! But today, he's taking a surprisingly gentle approach to his pumpkin enrichment. A little sniff here, a curious inspection there... almost as if

GOOD AFTERNOON from Dakar! “It's MY pumpkin, and I'm keeping it!” Handsome white tiger Dakar has claimed his pumpkin, and judging by that look, he has absolutely no intention of sharing! Sometimes the best afternoons are the simple ones—a little sunshine, a favorite toy, #GoodAfternoon

"If it comes down to a choice between wolves and livestock on western public lands, the clear winner is wolves. Let’s extend the benefits all across the American West. The case for leasing public lands for livestock production? That’s a tougher sell." Read more: https://ow.ly/ZPuK51014Qu

I’m amazed when people think they are insulting a politician by labeling him “vegan.” I think that is a high compliment. In fact, I wish there were a vegan party that would stand up for animals, the environment, kindness, and compassion. Now that would be amazing. ☮️🌱

Greetings and good morning it’s the Mo-day farm rush hour with Billy

While most of our residents ignore the trail cams we use to monitor their health and behavior, wolfdog Mesa is quick to notice even the smallest change to his environment. In this clip, Mesa and his companion, gray wolf Sierra, can be seen inspecting this camera right away!

We are SO THRILLED that New York City has passed the Romanch's Law banning horse-drawn carriage rides! These horses were living in deplorable conditions and made to work hours upon hours a day, and had very little vet care. We are so excited to finally see them be free!

Time has flown and Tytan has grown! In the year since he arrived at our Nursery, our orphaned black rhino has grown from a 300-kilogramme rescue into an impressive youngster weighing close to 450 kilogrammes! Yet he remains very much a baby at heart, enjoying naps with best friend Notty.

With us, not for us 🙏🤗🐑🐖 #PeggySheep #TomBombadilPig #TomBombadilPiglet #AllLivesArePrecious #VeganForThem

Active bills in Congress seek to remove gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves from the federal Endangered Species List, all because they’re incorrectly blamed as threats to livestock producers. 📣Tell your Members of Congress to stand for wolves and oppose anti-wolf bills: https://ow.ly/bMjG5100iOP

Humane education is compassion in action

We’re going to court to restore manatee protections! On Oct 21, represented by Earthjustice, SMC and allied organizations filed a lawsuit alleging that the federal government violated the ESA by rescinding the “blanket 4(d)” rule earlier this year. https://savethemanatee.org/4d-position-statement/

SMC condemns the recently-filed Senate Permitting Bill, s. 5653, due to its dangerous rollbacks of key environmental protection laws like the ESA, Clean Water Act, and National Environmental Policy Act. Read our full statement here: https://savethemanatee.org/opposition-statement-s-5653/

REAL LIFE SUPERHEROES www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/anti-po...

A sight we’ll never tire of. Our ex-orphans came to visit on Sunday, and Nesheshi had the honour of leading the herd. After her mother was shot and killed, reaching her meant airlifting her in a customised sling beneath our helicopter from a remote corner of Laikipia.

Ashanti’s name means strength, courage and resilience. She has needed all three to survive. A poacher’s snare severed her trunk, cutting off the ‘fingers’ that let African elephants forage so dextrously. Then she got stuck in mud. Our rangers found her in the nick of time.

The USDA memo that was circulated to the governors of gray wolf and Mexican gray wolf states on October 12 is, frankly, a load of crap. The letters urge the governors and state agencies to lethally remove wolves to protect cows - the same wolf-scapegoating BS we've heard for years. (1/2)

Pepsi the second the leaves turn orange:

Watch out, Amali – Latika is keen to take your mantle as top nanny! Our girl with the short trunk and big heart only graduated to Umani in December and took time to find her place. Now she is one of the family, with a soft spot for Lenny – and he’s certainly putting her through her paces!

Coconut oil is full of healthy fats and helps condition the skin of the youngest orphans. Not all the orphans like their spa sessions though – Mbegu famously hated the stuff at first. Wangalla has been much happier to get stuck in: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/wang...

Bumpy’s ear wiggle. A thing of greatness (and cuteness!), and it serves an important purpose: clearing his ear canal of any water. He’s graduated to a new pool, which he loves – and which gives him even more space for elaborate swimming routines. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/bumpy

It’s Wolf Awareness Week 🐺! Today, we are highlighting the historic McCleery wolves, whose legacy dates all the way back to the 1920s. For more information on the history of the McCleery wolves, visit our updated webpage and new StoryMap: wolfhaven.org/sanctuary/mc...
