Tiger  Via Flickr: We've reached 10 million views on our photos on flickr!! I still enjoy working on this great hobby every day! The days in the zoos are wonderful, relaxing and observing, photographing the animals is simply enjoyable 😁 I think it's great that after all these years, more and more people are joining our social media channels and enjoying the photos we post. We hope that you will continue to enjoy the photos we take!

Conservationists are working to reintroduce the Scottish wildcat but face a massive numerical deficit and challenge. Lessons can be learned from its near demise, such as not waiting to conserve species until its nearly too late, the Scottish Rewilding Alliance’s Richard Bunting says.

Small cats face big threats: Reasons to save these elusive endangered species

Researcher Philip Muruthi believes the serval (Leptailurus serval) could be an ambassador for African grasslands. With the ability to jump up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) in the air, it helps control small mammal populations in its habitat. “Serval cat ecotourism is another possibility,” Muruthi says. “They can be hard to spot, but when you see one in the wild, you never forget it."

Like their big cat cousins, small cat species can have strong cultural ties to human communities. Anthony Gerardo Pino Charaja of the Andean Cat Alliance explains that in countries like Peru, the Andean cat was long closely linked spiritually to the protection of livestock such as alpacas and llamas and was also designated as a deity of water.

Clouded leopards prey upon a range of species including wild pigs and ungulates, helping control forest populations.

twttin characters (and rusty james from rumble fish lol) in my early 2000s au :3

cathy: im gonna tell yall RIGHT now, she goes by “cat”, i cannot explain it to u but she just DOES to me, nobody rlly knows her as cathy shes just,,,cat, shes that kind of girl that always has a camera in her hand just taking pics of whatever and she posts it on flickr, she loves photography, shes always wearing those milkmaid tops or big sweaters with bell bottom jeans, and her hair is short, think of those teen movies w that “down to earth pretty chill w her walkman” girl and thats her, she was prolly watching those mlp tribute vids on her family computer, she thinks its cute, she loves collecting pins n stuff, she loves friends (the show)

m&m: gonna b so honest w u, m&m just seems so timeless to me i dont rlly have much to say for him bc i think he’d act the exact same way no matter the time period, BUT some things i can add is that he really likes the teenage mutant ninja turtles and loves comic books so theres that, hes a bit of a collector of just about anything and so cathy takes pics of his room a lot and post it on flickr so theres that, he’d be in the family computer quite a bit and since in the early 2000s barely any adult knew how to use the computer he was just on there goin crazy in chatrooms on some odd ass forum talking about figurines or somethin, god bless his soul, always has cathy’s walkman and gameboy she never gets to use them but its ok, she lives her bro, he loves pokemon and has a card collection in his binder

mark: he makes fun of ppl who use the internet (in the early 2000s the internet was seen as a more of a niche interest and it was associated with like geeks/nerds n stuff) and video games (cough cough m&m cough), literally all he watches is adult swim if not, he loves wwe, that guy whos always in a skatepark despite never??? skating???? he just has a bit of friends there and hangs out w them a but, BUT he does have a bike he uses as transportation and can actually do some pretty cool tricks like my god i cant even hate, has 1 snapback hat he wears religiously, has a bunch of posters of half naked women on his side of the room

bryon: he has so many things from abercrombie and fitch, hollister, american eagle, hes THAT guy good lord, he would be a bit into basketball, i could see that, watches myv just to be judgey but also bc pretty girls on tv, watches jackass w mark, has a playstation 1 he just NEVER touches, has THE SMALLEST interest in video games like halo and grand theft auto, action movies are his thing, if u wanna see an action movie hes the guy

rusty james: thinks hes sooooo grown for watching adult swim, he and “thinks its for losers”, hes that guy thats into bmx sports, steals a ton of magazines on it, HATES boy bands but is like “if i was in one the girls would LOVE me”

i used to not want to be famous and if i ever got well known for whatever it is i end up doing it would most likely be under a pseudonym and without really showing my face BUT. i would love to be the kind of celebrity people do rpf about. not necessarily the writing fanfiction kind of rpf, but the social media conspiracy theories type of rpf. specifically i wish i was an actor making it big in the 2000s so that in my middle age people started unearthing grainy pixelated photos from livejournal or flickr or something of me at house parties or hanging out with cats or doing something suspiciously gay. i want to be the most cryptid-like hollywood heartthrob and then disappear after being in 3 good movies and an award winning tv show and give all my money away and die peacefully on a greek island. amen

Hold your Head Up by Robert Streithorst

[forgottenflickr]

i follow over 450 blogs, and this is the best one i've found so far. absolute pinnacle of blogging. i think this is as good as it gets.

the pictures you curate, i mean, not only are they stunningly, stunningly beautiful, and poingently emotional. but i mean, you're also pulling them out, pulling them out of time, out from the past. out from flickr which, really isn't used all that much these days. and you're giving them new life. going through your posts feels like flipping through an old family photo book. absolutely brilliant. brings me through to new emotions i've never felt before.

i've only just found this blog so i'm sure i'm only scraping the surface, but dear god is the surface incredible. i feel so much connection with these people and their lives. these photos are so so so deeply human.

great job. great great job. love the account. thank you.

oh wow, well I’ve been on tumblr many years and I have to say this is my favorite ask I’ve gotten :’) I’ll try to answer this well but definitely better at words than I am

I’m really so glad, because the way you describe it is exactly what I was hoping for. There’s a feeling that’s just so indescribable I get when looking through people’s old galleries, seeing years and years of memories of their families, beloved pets, people showing their hobbies and interests. Just the mundane daily life and special memories I get to see, it feels almost intimate and heart wrenching. And eventually, those posts just stop..

All I can think is “How are you doing now? Where are you now? Why did you go away, stop sharing these moments? Do you even remember them, that they’re here?”

I think about the photos of loved children I see, how they’ve grown up now. Would they remember? How are they? There is absolutely a sort of connection that’s hard to explain.

No matter if they remember themselves or not, my goal was to create something just like how you said - to preserve and share these memories, so they may never be lost and truly forgotten.

a big part of it for me is that I had my own digital camera when I was a little kid. I loved it and taking pictures so much. My pictures were much like the ones I post, mostly pictures of my cats, and you’ll notice a lot of what I post here is cats, almost all which have certainly passed away by now. I want to help remember them and share their memory.
