Big Cat Rescue is on a mission to create a world where wild cats live free—not behind bars, not on leashes, and never as pets.

We’ve already helped make history by championing the Big Cat Public Safety Act, ending private ownership and public handling of big cats in the U.S. But our work doesn't stop at the border. We're now funding conservation projects around the globe to protect wildcats from the deadly threats of poaching, trafficking, bushmeat, and habitat loss.

Get ready to embark on a journey of discovery, compassion, and action. Together, let's strive for a world where all wild cats live freely and in harmony with nature. Subscribe, share, and be part of this incredible journey. #bigcatrescue #bigcattv #conservation

𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐰-𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠! 🐾
From the mighty tiger 🐯 to the stealthy bobcat 🐾, 𝑝𝑎𝑤𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑣𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑙.

Big or small, wild cat paws are designed for 𝑠𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔—soft pads cushion each step, and retractable claws stay sharp until needed for climbing, hunting, or defending.

Tigers rely on their 𝐡𝐮𝐠𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐰𝐬 (as 𝒘𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒆!) to move quietly through forests and grasslands, while bobcats use their smaller but just-as-skilled paws to balance, leap, and even walk on snow without sinking. ❄️

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐰𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 —whether it’s a tiger’s in Asia or a bobcat’s track in North America, researchers can use them to learn where cats roam and how they live. 🌳

𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭: Wild cat paw prints (called pugmarks) are 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞, 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬, helping researchers identify individuals in the wild. 🐾
