Czech zoo welcomes 4 rare Barbary lion cubs whose population is extinct in the wild
Ammon News - Four Barbary lion cubs were born recently in a Czech zoo, a vital contribution for a small surviving population of the rare lion that is extinct in the wild. The three females and one male were seen playing in their outdoor enclosure at Dvůr Králové Safari Park on Wednesday, enjoying themselves under the watchful eyes of their parents, Khalila and Bart. That will change soon. As part of an international endangered species program that coordinates efforts for their survival in captivity, the cubs will be sent to other participating parks, including the Beersheba zoo in Israel. Chances are that might not be the end of the story for the animal. Dvůr Králové Deputy Director Jaroslav Hyjánek said that while preliminary steps have been taken for a possible reintroduction of the Barbary lion into its natural habitat, it's still a 'far distant future.' The majestic member of the Northern lion subspecies, the Barbary lion once roamed freely its native northern Africa, including the Atlas Mountains. A symbol of strength, they were almost completely wiped out due to human activities. Many were killed by gladiators in Roman times, while overhunting and a loss of habitat contributed to their extinction later. The last known photo of a wild lion was taken in 1925, while the last individual was killed in 1942. It's believed the last small populations went extinct in the wild in the middle of the 1960s. Fewer than 200 Barbary lions are currently estimated to live in captivity Hyjánek said that after initial talks with Moroccan authorities, who have not rejected the idea of their reintroduction, a conference of experts has been planned to take place in Morocco late this year or early 2026 to decide whether it would make sense to go ahead with such a plan in one of the national parks in the Atlas Mountains. Any reintroduction would face numerous bureaucratic and other obstacles. Since the lion has not been present in the environment for such a long time, the plans would have to ensure their protection, a sufficient prey population and cooperation and approval from local communities. Hyjánek said such a move is still worth trying if it turns out to be sustainable. 'It's important to have such a vision for any animal, ' he said. 'Without it, the existence of zoos wouldn't make sense.' AP

Bear rescued after more than a week with its head stuck in a jar
Ammon News - Wildlife officials in Wisconsin announced a bear seen wandering through three counties with a plastic jar stuck over its head has been successfully freed. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said the bear was seen wandering with its head stuck in the jar in Bayfield, Douglas and Sawyer Counties before being located by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Wildlife Services staff near Cable in Bayfield County. The bear, which was first spotted July 26, covered an area of nearly 50 miles while wildlife officials attempted to track it down. "Staff from USDA Wildlife Services set several live traps for the bear based on reported sightings, but these efforts were ultimately unsuccessful due to the distance the bear was traveling each day," the DNR said in a news release. The bear was finally located on private property Sunday and was shot with a tranquilizer dart. "Once the bear was sedated, USDA Wildlife Services staff were able to cut off the jug and examine the bear for injuries," the release said. The bear, a 2-year-old sow weighting approximately 70 pounds, was found to be uninjured and was relocated to a safe wooded area with easy access to food and water. UPI
