Pumas, like many apex carnivores, have long been considered solitary animals. But in 2008, Panthera started uncovering the truth about the species—and capturing surprising behaviors on film. Watch this incredible clip to find out how one puma mother saved the lives of two kittens that weren’t her own.
Who: Panthera is the only organization in the world devoted exclusively to the conservation of the world’s 38 wild cat species and their ecosystems. Their core programs focus on conserving the largest and some of the most imperiled cats – tigers, lions, jaguars, snow leopards, leopards, pumas and cheetahs.
Why: Conserving big cats and their habitats supports the health and survival of thousands of plant and animal species around the globe, including people. In protecting big cats, we are protecting ourselves!
When: Act for Big Cats today! Celebrate Panthera’s 10th anniversary with a donation that supports their continued research and conservation efforts for wild cats.
