to give you an idea of how many bison were slaughtered
60 million to 300 in less than 100 years
While Bison today are synonymous with the “Wild West” it’s important to remember that up until several hundred years ago bison ranged all the way into Florida

Children’s movies today are so scared of traumatizing their audience they’ve lost any creativity/quality. Yes, we were all traumatized by Mufasa’s death, but it taught us a valuable lesson…same for Bambi’s mom, and so on…

Perhaps the saddest part of the thyalcine's extinction is that, despite being persecuted by humans for killing livestock, new studies show that the livestock deaths which were blamed on thylacines were actually caused by feral dogs. Thylacines were eating wallabies, not sheep.

Another classic. American Bison nearly went extinct in the early 1900s, and became the icon of zoo conservation after zoos stepped in and began reintroducing them to their historic range. Over 400,000 roam the wilds of North America today!

Last but not least, probably the most iconic of them all, the Black Footed Ferret! Once numbering 18 in the wild, their populations have recovered immensely due to releases. Protection of their prey, prairie dogs, has allowed them to bounce back to over 500 individuals!

People seem to forget how different the musculature of Panthera felids is to Smilodon felids. In addition to having the most robust bones of any carnivoran, it didn't even resemble a cat in musculature-it honestly looked more like a grizzly bear. Seriously, smilodon was ripped.

This stereotype always bugs me. The reason they die horrible deaths is that they're treated like toys for children, not real animals, and die because of their owner (an immature child's) irresponsibility. Stop treated animals like toys, they're actual living creatures

The differences in canine and Feline musculature reflect this too, which is really cool IMO. Big cats have huge flexible forlimbs for grappling and wrestling, whereas canids have thick necks and loads of jaw/core muscle for biting and hanging on to prey

While big cats must use their size and strength to overpower their prey, canids hunt with endurance. These hunts don't rely on size and power, they rely on endurance and athleticism. A bulky build would only slow the animal down. A wild boar may weigh more than a dhole, however -
