I will always love animals I just saw a picture of a bird I didn’t know existed and teared up bc it was cute and pretty

I've reas some accounts of Rusty Spotted Cats and Fisher Cats self domesticating!

Not sure how accurate they are, but they're interesting, nonetheless!

Are black footed forest cats ever mistaken for strays and brought inside? Like that one post where someone accidentally tried to find a coyote's owners? In every picture I've ever seen they just look like....cats...are they particularly vicious or just not live where there are cat owning people or?

(not advocating for them to be pets of course just curious is anyone ever makes that mistake)

nope! for very simple reasons-

this thing hates you and everything your filthy human kin stand for.

unlike habituated coyotes, black footed cats are shy and avoid humans by nature and habit! you won't find them near human settlements, and if they hear YOU coming they'll take off long before you get into visual range of them.

they're notoriously hard to do a species census for for this reason! they want you to keep your big smelly ape hands to YOURSELF.

Not only are the Comedy Wildlife Photo Award winners all excellent, the banner announcements are glorious when taken out of context.

You’ve seen those photos of dogs snapped through catching a treat, with just the silliest faces? I see those and raise you: a tiger catching meatballs.

This is Kali, a Sumatran tigress at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma.
