UAE releases 81 falcons into wild in Kazakhstan in May; some tracked with satellite devices
Eighty one falcons were released into the wild in Kazakhstan in May 2025, as the Sheikh Zayed Falcon Release Programme (SZFRP) enters its fourth decade. This brings the total number of falcons released by the programme since its establishment in 1995 to 2,355. All falcons in the programme underwent a series of veterinary examinations and intensive training, the installation of identification metal rings, and the implantation of electronic chips. Ten falcons (five falcons of each species) were provided with satellite tracking devices whose batteries are powered by solar energy, to monitor survival rates, spread and migration routes, and to collect scientific data that is used to develop rehabilitation, training and release methods. The programme continued in Kazakhstan for the ninth consecutive year, with the release of 53 peregrine falcons and 28 saker falcons within their migratory range, which includes parts of Kazakhstan, Russia, China, Mongolia, and neighboring countries. These areas feature rugged mountains and vast plains, providing abundant prey for the falcons. The initiative aims to increase falcon populations and protect them from the risks of expanding human activities at the expense of natural habitats, unsustainable breeding practices, climate change, and other factors that put them at risk of extinction.

Zoo responds to social media claims about ‘chonky' leopard
Malaysia 's National Zoo has defended its care of Apoh, a black leopard, after a viral video showed the animal appearing visibly overweight. The TikTok video, which garnered more than two million views, prompted public concern and jokes about Apoh's size and physical condition. Zoo Negara stated that 'chonky' Apoh is under close supervision by veterinary staff who are monitoring his health and working to help him reach an ideal weight. The zoo also highlighted that Apoh, who recently turned 15, is part of an animal adoption programme that helps fund his food, healthcare, and enrichment. While many viewers referred to Apoh as a 'panther', the zoo clarified he is a leopard whose dark pigmentation makes his characteristic rosette patterns difficult to see.

Zoo defends treatment of ‘chonky' leopard Apoh after TikTok post goes viral
Malaysia's National Zoo has defended its treatment of what appears to be a visibly overweight black leopard after a video of the animal went viral on social media. The video posted by a TikTok user showed the male leopard named Apoh lying on his side in his enclosure in Zoo Negara. The video went on to rack up more than two million views and prompted a wave of jokes and memes across social media, with many viewers referring to Apoh as 'chonky' and comparing him to a bear. However, some raised questions about the animal's physical condition and whether it pointed to possible neglect or inadequate enclosure standards. So chonky… Don't tell me that's Apoh The Panther 😂 — 🐼ᴾᴬᴿᴷ ᶻ 𝘇 𐰁 (@xiongmao51515) July 12, 2025 Responding to the comments, Zoo Negara issued a statement in Malay under the original post, saying Apoh was under close supervision by veterinary staff. 'Don't worry, our vet team is taking care of Apoh with love, giving him the best treatment and close attention. They are monitoring Apoh closely and making sure Apoh is okay. We appreciate the words of encouragement given to help Apoh reach his ideal weight,' the zoo said, according to an online translation. In a separate post on 15 July, which the zoo claimed was Apoh's 15th birthday, the zoo said the animal was being given the best care. It added that Apoh was part of the zoo's animal 'adoption' programme, where regular people can help fund his food, healthcare and enrichment. 'Yes, Apoh is looking a little chonky but don't worry! Our dedicated zookeepers and vets are keeping a close eye on him and making sure he gets the best care possible. We really appreciate all your concern and support for helping our animals stay in great shape,' the statement read. The recent footage of Apoh stand in stark contrast from a 2023 video of him, where he looked far more active as well as physically more fit. Zoo Negara has declined to comment. While most people online have been referring to Apoh as a panther, the zoo clarified in an earlier social media post that the term 'black panther' is a general descriptor for any melanistic big cat, including leopards, jaguars, and pumas. In Apoh's case, he is a leopard whose dark pigmentation masks the characteristic rosette patterns on his coat, making them difficult to see. Social media reaction has been mixed, with some users simply expressing their adoration for the big cat and others warning about the dangers of obesity in captive animals. 'If dangerous why cute?' asked one person. 'Apoh looks like a bear! His chonkiness is oh so super super adorable, but best of luck to the keepers in helping him lose weight and live longer! We hope to see him back in an athletic superhero black panther shape soon!' wrote another.
