Can you imagine this face being stuck in a roadside zoo forever? Handsome Naveen was rescued from Tiger King Park in Oklahoma back in 2021. This facility was shut down due to numerous Endangered Species Act violations. Learn more about Naveen here: ow.ly/1qJX50QKLui

Did you know? Caracals, known for their hunting prowess, possess remarkable ears that serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. CTR is home to two caracals: Nelly and Kitwana. Nelly was rescued from a private home, and Kitwana was rescued from a closing roadside zoo.

Education is a huge part of what we focus on at CTR and we offer many STEM-focused learning programs. Currently, our March homeschool program is in session! What is something YOU have learned while out at Carolina Tiger Rescue? Let us know in the comments!

#MondayMood 😴 Did you know? Cougars have several names depending on the region/cultural context. Some common names include: Mountain lion Cougar Puma Panther Catamount Painter Ghost cat Mountain screamer Deer tiger Florida panther (specific to the subspecies found in Florida)

We're thrilled to share that Beau Cougar continues to astound us with his advanced learning abilities! While Beau has excelled in many endeavors, we're intrigued by his ongoing journey with a Rubik's Cube. Beau's problem-solving skills shine brightly as he tackles this challenge!

Happy #TongueOutTuesday from this tiger, Samar! Did you know that tiger tongues are covered in tiny spines called papillae? They are strong enough to strip fur and skin from their prey (or enrichment boxes) - a lick from a tiger wouldn't feel great.

Sorry to Lucy (Elmira's Wildlife) , Shadow & Shazam (Wildcat Sanctuary), Conga (Lions Tigers & Bears), and Selbit (Turpentine Creek)!! We won't forget next year!! Happy (belated) International Leopard Day!!

WEBINAR: May 14, join Born Free USA, AWI, and Carolina Tiger Rescue to learn about the challenges of rescuing #bigcats, the recently passed Big Cat Public Safety Act, and the importance of animal protection legislation for safeguarding big cats in captivity. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

🐾🌟 Happy National Cougar Day! 🌟🐾Meet Beau, our resilient cougar. Born in the wild and orphaned young, he's now thriving at our sanctuary. Celebrate with us by sharing his story and spreading awareness. 🐆💛 #NationalCougarDay #BeauTheCougar #WildlifeRescue #CougarConservation

A tiger's trek across international boundaries validates the existence of essential wildlife corridors between India and Bhutan - and underscores the need to protect them. downtoearth.org.in/wildlife-biodi…

#TongueOutTuesday Just like your cats, bobcats groom to remove dirt, stay clean, and regulate temperature. 🐱🌲 Grooming keeps their fur healthy and waterproof. Next time you see your cat grooming, remember they share this with wild cousins! 🌟 Pictured: Cairo Bobcat.

🛑 Declawing harms big cats 🛑 It’s more than a nail trim—it’s like cutting off a human fingertip. The result? Lifelong pain, aggression, and mobility issues. Declawing doesn’t make big cats “safer”; it just makes them suffer. At CTR, every cat keeps their claws! 🧡

We're nutty about our partnership with Big Spoon Roasters! Big Spoon doesn't use palm oil in any of their products. They will be donating a portion of proceeds from their Lum Lum Thai Curry nut butter sales back to Carolina Tiger Rescue. Check them out! bigspoonroasters.com/blogs/blog/big…

🐾 At Carolina Tiger Rescue, we use operant conditioning to build trust & care for our animals. Through positive reinforcement (like treats & praise), they voluntarily participate in health checks & enrichment. It’s stress-free, engaging, and always their choice! 💛 #AnimalCare

Picking up candy for Valentine's Day tomorrow? 🍫❤️🐅 Show your love this Valentine’s Day for your loved ones & for wildlife by choosing palm oil free candy or switching to sustainable palm oil products. (Thank you to BCSA Member Carolina Tiger Rescue for the infographic!)

#SpeciesOfTheMonth Did you know red foxes have such excellent hearing that they can hear underground? They can pick up sounds a couple of inches below ground, which helps them while hunting prey burrowed beneath the surface. 📸 Fig Red Fox #redfox #CarolinaTigerRescue
