India recorded 709 animal species in just one year. Of these, 483 were completely new to science.

Scientists are still finding remarkable frogs, snakes, bats, insects and even sharks that can “walk” across shallow reefs.

But while we discover new creatures, others may vanish before we even know they exist.

Our new article explains:

More than 30 new Siberian tiger cubs have been born—and for one of the world's rarest big cats, every birth matters.

Since early April, wildlife officials have announced the arrival of over **30 Amur (Siberian) tiger cubs** at the Siberian Tiger Park in Heilongjiang Province, China.

For now, the cubs are receiving intensive around-the-clock care. Animal care teams are closely monitoring their health, nutrition, and development during the critical first months of life, when young tigers are most vulnerable.

The Amur tiger is the largest cat on Earth.

Once ranging across vast areas of the Russian Far East and northeastern China, the species suffered dramatic declines because of habitat loss, poaching, and shrinking prey populations.

Today, conservation efforts include protecting wild habitats, reducing illegal hunting, and maintaining carefully managed breeding programs that help preserve the species' genetic diversity.

While captive breeding alone cannot replace healthy wild populations, conservationists view these programs as one important part of a broader strategy to safeguard the future of this iconic predator.

Every healthy cub represents another opportunity to preserve the genetic legacy of one of nature's most magnificent big cats.

For a species that once stood on the brink...

each new generation is a reason for hope.

Another heatwave is coming 🥵 Cats are generally better at coping with heat than dogs but they can still overheat.

Try these simple tips:

- Gently wipe their paw pads with a cool, damp cloth.

-Wipe the outside of their ears with a cool, damp cloth. Never put water inside the ear.

- Avoid ice-cold water or ice packs directly on them. Cool them gently instead.

- Brush long-haired cats regularly to remove loose fur.

- Keep fresh water available in several places around the house. Some cats drink more if you add a few ice cubes.

- Place a damp towel or cooling mat on the floor.

⚠️ If your cat starts panting, seems weak, drools excessively or collapses, contact your vet immediately. Cats rarely pant, so this can be a sign they're dangerously overheated.

Stay cool and stay safe. 💙🐱

Every night bats are hard at work. They eat crop-damaging insects, pollinate plants, spread seeds and even inspire scientists developing new technologies and medicines.

Their work is worth billions to agriculture, yet many bat species are in decline. Discover why bats are among nature's greatest unsung heroes and why protecting them benefits us all.

For those with cats looking for some ways to protect wildlife.

A recent figure from the Mammal Society estimates that cats in the UK catch up to 27 millions birds each year, and 275 million prey items overall per year. Here are different ways to limit the kill rate of your cat...
