How do you teach a captive-bred cat to survive in the wild? Discover how “lynx school” helped bring the Iberian lynx back from the brink of extinction. In 2001, the entire population could fit on a school bus. Today, numbers have recovered to more than 2,000.

Explore the conservation strategies behind this remarkable comeback, from captive breeding and rabbit feeding stations to habitat restoration and GPS tracking. Follow the journeys of Kahn and Kentaro, learn why rabbits are critical to lynx survival, and examine the genetic challenges and community support shaping the species’ future.

Scientists have discovered a new species of cat for the first time in over 100 years. This unique tiger cat, initially found as a kitten on the side of the road, has been officially recognized. The research also led to the elevation of two subspecies to full species status. Dive into the fascinating world of tiger cats with us.

From colossal birds with deadly beaks to a whale that ruled the ancient oceans, the past was filled with monsters that sound almost impossible. But just how unbelievable did prehistoric life really get?

For decades, we've pictured miracinonyx, or the American cheetahs, as fleet-footed prairie hunters who chased down pronghorns and were among the fastest animals on Earth. Recent studies have shaken that belief to the core. Thanks to fossils found in rocky canyons and subarctic lands, and studies on their diet, we're beginning to get a clearer picture of what these majestic animals actually were.

From apex predators to the planet's strangest creatures, Animalogic goes deep into the science, behavior, and biology of the animal kingdom, one species at a time.
