What a privilege today was. I was fortunate to listen to the incredible ranger, Collette from , talk about their important work; the all-women anti-poaching crew in Kruger National Park.

Camera traps in China capture first-ever footage of Amur tigress with five cubs

/ By Spoorthy Raman /

Camera traps installed in the world’s largest tiger reserve, in China, have captured footage of an Amur tigress and her five cubs for the first time.

Recorded in November 2025, the footage from Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park shows an adult tigress ambling along a dirt road, and four young cubs tootling behind her. After a few seconds, as two of the cubs pause to sniff what looks like a stone, a fifth tries to catch up with the rest of the family.

Scientists say they believe the tigress is about 9 years old (tigers typically live for about 10-15 years in the wild), and the cubs are about 6-8 months old.

Peru’s Río Abiseo park yields new marsupial, hinting at more undiscovered species. We just hope they are protected forever.

Peru’s Río Abiseo park yields new marsupial, hinting at more undiscovered species

/ By Yvette Sierra Praeli /

Brazilian researcher Silvia Pavan organized an expedition to a remote protected area in the Peruvian Amazon to search for a species of squirrel last observed 30 years ago.

During the expedition, the team discovered a new species of mouse opossum, a type of marsupial, which they named Marmosa chachapoya.

This new species is distinguished by its reddish-brown fur, yellow-grayish belly, and long, narrow face.

The eastern Andes of Peru is notable for its high endemism, but remains largely understudied, researchers say.
