The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the five species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae. The leopard occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia and is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation and are declining in large parts of the globe.
Leopards are hunted illegally, and their body parts are smuggled in the wildlife trade for medicinal practices and decoration.
Compared to other wild cats, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but generally has a smaller, lighter physique. Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are smaller and more densely packed., and do not usually have central spots as the jaguar's do. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers.
The leopard is distinguished by its well-camouflaged fur, opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, and strength (which it uses to move heavy carcasses into trees), as well as its ability to adapt to various habitats ranging from rainforest to steppe, including arid and montane areas, and its ability to run at speeds of up to 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph).- Source Wikipedia

Snowy Owl is a Vulnerable species (IUCN Red List)
www.iucnredlist.org/species/22689055/205475036
This Snowy Owl uses an unconventional perch to scan for prey. The antenna was on a small shed east of the village of Beiseker, northeast of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. On the open prairies, there may not be many natural prominent spots for these raptors, so they use what they find.
Striking flycatcher with a spectacular mating display, in which male flies high into the air and repeatedly pumps tails above and then below body. Endemic to the Iberá marshes of NE Argentina and E Paraguay. Male unmistakable. Female from other whitish flycatchers by orange throat, pale peach bill, and elongated tail. Prefers flooded grasslands with tall, undisturbed grasses, and is thus threatened by cattle grazing. Vulnerable.
Wishing everyone a Peaceful bokeh Wednesday.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the cat family (Felidae). The lion is sexually dimorphic; males are larger than females with a typical weight range of 150 to 250 kg (331 to 551 lb) for the former and 120 to 182 kg (265 to 401 lb) for the latter. Male lions have a prominent mane, which is the most recognisable feature of the species.
A lion pride consists of a few adult males, related females and cubs. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The species is an apex and keystone predator, although they scavenge when opportunities occur.
Typically, the lion inhabits grasslands and savannas but is absent in dense forests. It is usually more diurnal than other big cats, but when persecuted it adapts to being active at night and at twilight.
It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996 because populations in African countries have declined by about 43% since the early 1990s. Habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes for concern. - Source Wikipedia

Long-tailed Duck has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22680427/132528200
This female Long-tailed Duck was a rare visitor to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, for several weeks during winter 2020-2021. This species of sea duck normally spends the nonbreeding season on coasts in both the Old World and the New World, but the Bow River in Carburn Park seemed to fit the bill for a while — especially in places with choppy waters as in this image.

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat of the subfamily Felinae that occurs in Southern, North and East Africa, and a few localities in Iran. The species is IUCN Red Listed as vulnerable, as it suffered a substantial decline in its historic range in the 20th century due to habitat loss, poaching, illegal pet trade, and conflict with humans. Currently, the global cheetah population has been estimated at approximately 7,100 to 8,000 individuals in the wild. Several African countries have taken steps to improve cheetah conservation measures.
It is the fastest land animal. The only extant member of the genus Acinonyx. The cheetah is characterised by a slender body, deep chest, spotted coat, small rounded head, black tear-like streaks on the face, long thin legs and long spotted tail. Its lightly built, slender form is in sharp contrast with the robust build of the big cats, making it more similar to the cougar. The cheetah reaches 70 to 90 cm (28 to 35 in) at the shoulder, and weighs 21–72 kg (46–159 lb).
Cheetahs are active mainly during the day, with hunting their major activity. Adult males are sociable despite their territoriality, forming groups called coalitions. Females are not territorial; they may be solitary or live with their offspring in home ranges. Cheetahs inhabit a variety of habitats – dry forests, scrub forests and savannahs.
Carnivores, cheetah mainly prey upon antelopes and gazelles. They will stalk their prey to within 100–300 m (330–980 ft), charge towards it and kill it by tripping it during the chase and biting its throat to suffocate it to death.
Cheetahs can reach speeds of 112 km/h (70 mph) in short bursts, but the top end speed of the cheetah is disputed by more recent measurements. The average speed of a cheetah while hunting is about 64 km/h (40 mph). – Wikipedia

Saw this Cheetah in the early evening, so shadows were starting to be a problem. I was happy to get her at an angle with some light. Seen in Loisaba Conservancy, Kenya. The Cheetah was last assessed as "Vulnerable" on the ICUN Red List. Numbers are thought to be about 6500 in the wild and the numbers are decreasing.

I really like the light in the first half an hour after sunrise. And I love spending time with the resident Hoodies on the grey sands of the Killarney beaches. This bird landed on the shoreline not long after sunrise & was sprinting across the sand to another Hooded Plover that was sheltering amongst the seaweed higher up the beach on the tide line.
It is endemic to the regions of Andaman and Nicobar islands, Sumatra, Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia. It lives in a wide variety of habitats such as swamp forests, lowland evergreen forest, palm plantations, gardens and public parks. although it can use man-made habitats, it is experiencing rapid declines due to forest loss and hunting for bird trading. It is considered Vulnerable in IUCN Red List. Taken in Malay Peninsula in 2019.
Just a day or two old, on a shoreline, alone, no defenses at all, against so many predators. I adore these little critters.
I spent the evening on Cissbury Ring this week watching the most amazing cloud show as all around me were showers. Incedibly though I managed not to get wet through the whole time I was up there!

Reportage street shot from a Disabled People Against Cuts protest outside of the Ministry of Defence building in Glasgow, Scotland, on 26th March 2025.
I think it's fair to say that the true measure of a society is on how it treats it's most vulnerable people.
Bearing in mind that any one of us can become disabled at any time through no fault of our own. The societal safety net that we all pay into during our lives is there for that very reason. To care for us if or when we are unable to care for ourselves.
We therefore owe it to ourselves to fight these welfare cuts, to put pressure on our MPs to vote against the changes. Don't just think about it, do it, let them know because one day it could be you that needs to depend upon them for survival.
Take care.

A Anta estava em fuga, perseguida por cachorros...
The tapir was on the run, chased by dogs...
She managed to escape, but her cub did not.
Sadly, small animals and birds have suffered from persecution by dogs that are abandoned in the environmental park.
These dogs are natural hunters and are becoming a serious problem in the Brasília Mineral Water National Park.

Female koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) named "Tharah" (Aboriginal for "Thunder" ) born 11/1/2014 and living in the Australia Outback habitat at the San Diego Zoo.

Santa Marta Antpitta has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22703271/93914023
The Santa Marta Antpitta is, as the common name suggests, endemic to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia. Antpittas are normally highly secretive, but a number of places in their South American range are now known for the opportunity to sight these reclusive birds thanks to patient feeding programs. Such was the case here, where a ranger at a forestry station on San Lorenzo Ridge put out food to entice the bird briefly into the open for viewing by some grateful visitors. The second part of the scientific name of this species honours Richard Bangs, a zoologist from the USA who did pioneering field work in the Santa Marta region in the late 1800s.

Snowy Albatross has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable
www.iucnredlist.org/species/22698305/132640680
Snowy Albatross is part of the Wandering Albatross complex — what was once treated as one species has been split into four. Snowy Albatross is a bird with very long wings, as expected. It is the southernmost breeder in the complex, with large breeding colonies (relatively speaking — not anything like the numbers of King Penguin for example) on South Georgia Island.
This sighting happened as we approached from the west, and occurred on the only day I saw the species. And what a sight! Truly humbling to witness such as example of wildlife in the senses of wild and free, roaming the untamed Southern Ocean and nesting on remote islands. (Though, not to put a damper on things, these magnificent birds still face hazards, among them fishing “bycatch” as it is euphemistically termed, invasive species, and climate warming. Snowy Albatross has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable.)
