#BREAKING: 🎉 Welcome home, 30 big cats rescued from Argentina take their first steps in sanctuaries! 🦁🐯
This is the moment we dreamed of since we met them last year during #EmergencyMissionArgentina. Thank you for making this rescue possible. 🧡🙏
#TogetherForBigCats
Meet Mike! 🐆🧡
Born wild in 2005, Mike was captured after coming into conflict with humans and labelled a “problem animal”.
He later found safety at LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary.
Sadly, leopards are listed as Vulnerable, threatened by habitat loss, conflict and illegal trade.
Dylan and Keko are tiger companions. Can you tell them apart?
They have been together since their time at the former Zoo Luján in Argentina. Now, they're still inseparable at LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary.
Here’s how to spot the difference between these magnificent tigers. 🐯
From concrete park to bear paradise. 💚🐻
In October 2015, Erich was rescued to BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach.
Now 16 years old, Erich is living his best life. He loves long swims before tucking into his favourite treats.
Here's to many more years of happiness.
For years, Rocky knew only fear. 🐻💔
Forced to endure 35 brutal bear fights, he suffered unimaginable cruelty.
Now rescued, he's finally experiencing kindness and care. 💚
But other bears are still waiting for their second chance.

👀 Can you spot the cruelty? 💔
Look closely at the bird's head sticking out of the crate.
This was filmed in Spain, but animals suffer during road transport here in Australia too.
They feel fear and pain. They're not cargo.

...Seida took one last look at the state of the world and thought that this was a perfect time to start sleeping for 3 to 5 months.
HIBERNATION HAS STARTED IN OUR SANCTUARIES!! 💤
Did you know? 💡
Before hibernation, bears go through a phase 'hyperphagia', where they eat almost constantly to build up the fat reserves they'll need throughout winter. ☃️
During hibernation, a bear's heart rate can drop dramatically to conserve energy for months. 💤

Two more facilities to go. Stay tuned! 🐾
🐯🚨 #EmergencyMissionJordan UPDATE!
20 animals examined and treated so far! 🩺
From Bunduq, a 300kg bear with painful dental issues, to Dalaa, a playful young lioness receiving vital vaccinations. 🐻🦁
Our team is now moving to the next facility. More updates soon! 💚
We have some heart-warming news to share about bear Yavor who was just rescued in Bulgaria. He has now ventured outside for the first time, enjoying all the plants he’s missed out on his whole life.
For the first time in 14 years, Yavor is able to feel grass under his paws.🐾🌿
What a difference a few months of love and care can make! 🥹🐱💚
Rescued in Borneo with scabies and crusty skin, Krupuk is now looking like a whole new cat thanks to treatment and TLC!
And those eyes? Mesmerising: One blue, one golden-yellow! 😍✨
Happy #Caturday!
14 years. Surrounded by concrete. 💔🐻
That was Yavor's life in a Bulgarian zoo.
Now rescued by FOUR PAWS, he's finally discovering grass, trees and the joy of exploring at BEAR SANCTUARY Belitsa. 💚
🎥 Watch till the end to see Yavor's smile at our sanctuary.

Fluffy, gentle and smarter than you think! 🐑💚
Sheep can recognise dozens of faces, remember them for years and form strong friendships. They feel joy, fear and grief, just like other animals.
They're not products. They're individuals with feelings, memories and bonds. ❤️
