Food-sharing by animals that hunt in groups is not well understood. A new study sheds light on African wild dogs.
African wild dogs are used to evading hyenas and lions. Genetic research suggests they are using the same strengths to get around human development as well.
When planning a translocation, the genetics of the lion must be taken into account.
A growing body of research shows that COVID-19 protocols should be extended to areas in which there is a human-animal interface such as zoos, wildlife sanctuaries and game farms.
One in 200 jaguars are likely to be affected by dams, versus one in five tigers.
The flamboyant big-cat aficionados of the Gilded Age weren’t strangers to fierce competition, threats and bizarre drama.
Debates centred on the role of recreational hunting in supporting nature conservation and local people’s livelihoods are among the most polarising in conservation today.
Presenting accounts of technological success in captive lion breeding against the backdrop of rapidly diminishing wildlife loss lets humans off the hook too easily.
India’s last cheetah was killed 70 years ago. Should the country import a different subspecies from Namibia?
Many carnivores are ambush predators. Being seen by their prey can lead to them abandoning the hunt.
Male lions are responsible for the movement of genes between prides. New research confirmed that the genes are traveling long distances – even though no one has been spotting the lions on the journey.
South Africa has the biggest captive big cat industry in the world and it is largely unregulated.
Lions don’t generally have armies of hyenas, but not every aspect of The Lion King is inaccurate.
New report reveals big cats are kept in awful conditions. But the link to poaching in the wild is not clear cut.

While the international conservation community unites against the captive breeding of big cats in South Africa, the government stalls.
Few people could argue that hunting wildlife for trophies is moral, but conservationists have bigger fish to fry to reverse biodiversity loss
The life-or-death drama of the lion pride will captivate viewers, but the show may not go on without funding to conserve these species.
A billion dollars a year would secure Africa’s lions and its landscapes as well as millions of people living nearby.
