Did you know mountain lions are more related to housecats than lions? It’s true!

But their lives aren’t nearly as easy — especially in the urban wildlands of Central California, where cityscape meets a wilderness fragmented by freeways and development.

These puma kittens act just like housecat kittens. You can even hear Mom purr.

About the Center:

The Center for Biological Diversity is a 501c3 nonprofit headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. At the Center, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive.

We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

The renowned civil rights and environmental leader Ben Jealous, former (youngest ever!) President of the NAACP and then of People for the American Way, and now, since 2022, Executive Director of the Sierra Club (founded in 1892, one of the very first large-scale environmental preservation organizations in the world) examines how the green economy is driving job creation and transforming industries, including renewable energy and electric vehicles.

He debunks myths that the transition will lead to job losses or take too long, instead showcasing how innovation is fueling economic growth. Jealous also highlights the health benefits tied to cleaner air and reduced pollution, including lower rates of asthma and heart disease. He underscores how the green economy is reshaping industries, improving workforce opportunities, and enhancing public health outcomes.

Recently a one-of-a-kind video was captured by a remotely operated submersible near the Atlantic Ocean’s South Sandwich Islands. It reveals a living colossal squid swimming many leagues under the sea — and it’s a juvenile, likely under a foot long. Adults, who have never been filmed alive, are believed to grow up to 23 feet long and weigh over 1,000 pounds. They generally live in Antarctic waters at depths of more than 3,200 feet.

With graceful movement, a transparent body, and glowing eyes, this baby is a beauty.
