A remote camera in Washington state captured a mother bobcat teaching her kitten to jump. The mother gracefully leaped to an off-screen branch, with the kitten making a valiant, albeit less successful, attempt to follow. A super slow-motion replay highlights the young cat's effort.

This footage emerges amid ongoing concerns. In 2019, The Center initiated legal action against the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services program, challenging its annual killing of thousands of native animals, including bobcats, in Washington state.

Witness a wild wolf in Yellowstone National Park as it licks the lens of a remote camera.

This unique footage offers an intimate perspective, almost as if the wolf is licking your own face.

An adorable trio of bear cubs was recently observed in the Pacific Northwest.

These young bears were diligently practicing their essential tree-climbing skills, a vital behavior for their development and survival.

Remote camera footage captured a gray fox and western spotted skunk traveling together near Denver, Colorado. This rare sighting may represent the first documented evidence of mutualism between these two species.

Spend 60 seconds observing diverse Florida wildlife captured by a remote camera.

Witness an alligator, an endangered Florida panther, river otters, a black bear, and other fascinating creatures.

Rare underground footage captures the elusive Mazama pocket gopher.

In 2014, the Center secured Endangered Species Act protection for these imperiled animals and over 1,500 acres of their prairie habitat in Washington state.

A remote camera in the Arizona borderlands captured javelinas foraging and snorting.

This footage was provided by Russ McSpadden for the Center for Biological Diversity.

Observe a red bat as it captures a moth during its nocturnal flight.

These bats are incredibly efficient predators, capable of consuming 500 to 1,000 insects in just one hour.

The Western Ghats of India are home to 24 species of "dancing frogs" from the Micrixalidae family. These amphibians earned their name because males perform a unique foot-waving display, known as foot-flagging, to attract females during the breeding season.

This distinctive gesture likely compensates for their quiet croaks. Their calls are often too faint to compete with the surrounding environmental noise, making the visual foot-flagging crucial for successful mating.

The endangered Sonoyta mud turtle, an aquatic species, thrives in one of the Sonoran Desert's driest regions. This unique adaptation allows it to survive in extreme conditions.

Its habitat is severely restricted: a single spring on the U.S.-Mexico border within Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in southern Arizona, and a small section of Mexico's Rio Sonoyta.

This video showcases a unique bobcat "Valentine's Day" negotiation, where communication is key. Two bobcats engage in a date via head-bobbing yowls, rapid tail twitching, and awkward pauses. The gray cat is the female, and the red (rufus) one is the male.

The proposed border wall poses a significant threat to the San Pedro River, a vital ecosystem.

Its construction risks triggering an extinction crisis, eliminating the diverse life that depends on the river for survival.

The question of how butterflies survive Australia's massive bushfires was answered in part by Julie Favell. Near Long Swamp in Lithgow, while putting out water for fire-affected wildlife, she witnessed common brown butterflies (Heteronympha merope) fluttering inside a moist wombat hole.

This observation suggests that natural underground shelters, offering damp and cooler conditions, provide vital refuge for some species during intense infernos.

A timely panel discussion addressed the fossil fuel industry's shifting tactics to impede a just and equitable transition from dirty energy. The event featured renowned climate scientist Mike Mann, community organizer Andres Soto, investigative journalist Antonia Juhasz, and the Center's climate director Kassie Siegel.

This critical discussion, underscoring the #ClimateEmergency, was recorded on December 10th at the Children’s Creativity Museum Theater in San Francisco, California. We extend our gratitude to Jay Wilson for providing the footage.

Trump's border wall construction is desecrating indigenous lands. To expedite building, federal authorities have waived numerous laws, including the American Indian Religious Freedom Act, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and the Endangered Species Act.

Hia-Ced O’odham activist Nellie Jo David highlights the profound impact on the O’odham people. The new wall in southern Arizona affects communities on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border, threatening their cultural heritage and sacred sites.

Quitobaquito pupfish, an ancient species on Earth for 1.6 million years, now survive only in Quitobaquito Spring within Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, near the U.S.-Mexico border. These tiny, tenacious fish endure extreme temperatures and high salt levels, with males turning vibrant blue when defending territory or seeking a mate.

However, new border wall construction in Organ Pipe threatens this unique habitat. The Border Patrol is pumping thousands of gallons daily for concrete, heedlessly draining this precious desert waterway. With construction teams now just miles from Quitobaquito Spring, this essential water source and its endangered pupfish face imminent danger.

Filmed at the new border wall construction within Arizona's Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, this poem addresses the complex struggles unfolding along the border.

It powerfully conveys the challenges faced by migrants seeking refuge, the fragmentation of wildlife populations and ecosystems, and the militarization impacting indigenous communities.
