It’s a family affair.

There’s nothing like the age-old lynx and rabbit relationship. In places like Canada and Alaska, you can bet that where there’s hare and rabbit, you will find lynx as well.

Lynx are wild cats that primarily live in more northern parts of North America. These cats are absolute killers just like all of their relatives. They can reach weights of 40 pounds and are trained assassins. Lynx have loaded back legs with massive muscles that help propel them at their prey, or up into trees. Their feet also have large pads which essentially act like snow shoes to...

A fed bear is a dead bear.

Just as there are a plethora of things you can do to avoid being attacked by a bear, there are a number of things you can do that virtually assure you'll be charged by one. Feeding bears pretty much guarantees that either the idiotic human that fed the wild animal will be attacked or that the bear will eventually have to be put down.

When bears become accustomed to being fed by humans, they start to hang around and approach humans more often. This obviously creates dangerous situations, and if it doesn't end tragically and...

Beavers have been captured on camera on the famous Longleat estate in Wiltshire for the first time. Footage of the beavers, added to the European Protected Species List in 2022 shows them building dams, lodges, and satellite lodges across the estate boosting biodiversity. Conservation and Research Manager, Dr Tom Lewis, says the estate now has three breeding territories since the beavers arrived on the estate three years ago. “Longleat is brimming with native wildlife, and beavers are one of the crown jewels. We assumed they have been breeding here, and we’ve seen lots of feeding activity. At first, our cameras picked up squirrels, herons, Canadian geese and even a fawn; but we then captured beavers repairing one of the lodges. We were really excited when we spotted a lactating female as we knew that meant there were kits and when we checked the cameras again and found her with kits, it was quite incredible and a very rare sight.” Beavers are ecosystem-engineers, says Tom, and in one territory what started as a small stream, now has several ponds created by the building of dams. It is illegal to interfere with the beavers’ lodges and dams created by beavers and Longleat is not sharing precise locations of the breeding territories to protect them.
