Story of Eight Lives

[Mystic Wanderer]

The Eastern Cougar has been spotted many times in the Smoky Mountains.  Yes, they say it's extinct, but it's still around.

                                                                                              


The Formosan Clouded Leopard must have passed some genes down to domestic cats, because I saw one posted on FB a couple of weeks ago with markings just like that.

I hate to hear that about the Tigers.  They are the most beautiful of all cats, IMO.  


Seems fitting to post this here.  To all those people who helped to make these animals extinct by hunting them for sport, just remember...  KARMA!

A big-game trophy hunter was killed in Africa last week during an encounter with a herd of elephants.

Theunis Botha, 51, died on Friday in Zimbabwe, South Africa’s News24 reported, citing Netwerk24. 

Botha, who owned an outfitting company, was walking with some other hunters when they came across a group of breeding elephants. The elephants charged the hunters and Botha opened fire.  

Another elephant then charged from the side and lifted Botha with its trunk. When one of the other hunters shot the creature, it collapsed and fell on Botha as it died, killing him.  

Simukai Nyasha, a spokesman for the Zimbabwe Parks & Wildlife Authority, told the Independent that the incident happened at the Good Luck Farm near Hwange National Park. The park is known for its elephants, and its Facebook page is filled with images of tourists showing the animals in action.
