Fort Garry Lions Pool
“Fort Garry Lions Pool” is an experimental film about two young women climbing the fence into a public pool at night. This paper tracks the creation of the film from its inception in 2020, production in 2022, up until its completion in 2024. The role of intuition as both subject matter and guiding …

Anthropogenic Factors Affecting Mountain Lions in the Black Hills of South Dakota
Historically, mountain lions (Puma concolor) in North America were persecuted, at least since European colonization. The distribution of mountain lions declined for decades until in the mid-1900s, when they persisted only in the mountains of western North America and wetlands of the Florida …

Movement analysis for monitoring predation by large carnivores : lions in Kruger National Park
… approach to estimate large carnivore diets, with lions (Panthera leo) being no exception. Continual observation allows the recording of all prey encounters and biases inherent in the other approaches are minimised. However, continuous observations are not always feasible, and in situations where …

The Ecology and Management of Kalahari lions in a Conflict Area in Central Botswana
African Lions (Panthera leo) are an keys species in many natural ecosystems in Africa and provide income and ecosystem services to many human communities. They directly limit herbivore populations, which in turn maintain grasslands and associated systems. Those ecosystems have degraded in recent …

Effects Of Food Deprivation On Blood Lipid Concentration And Composition In Steller Sea Lions (eumetopias Jubatus)
Steller sea lions, the largest Otariid, fast during their breeding season; during this time they refrain from ingesting food for a period of 12-43 days. Fasting, while undertaking an extremely energetically demanding activity (breeding and pupping), requires specific physiological adaptations. This …

Determining Impacts of Mountain Lions on Bighorn Sheep and Other Prey Sources in the Black Hills
<p>From 2009 to 2013, we assessed cougar (Puma concolor) feeding habits and bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) population dynamics in the Black Hills, South Dakota. We used Global Positioning System (GPS) telemetry to locate 1,506 cougar feeding events and found deer (Odocoileus spp.; 83%), primarily …

Ecology of Mountain Lions (Puma concolor) in the North Dakota Badlands: Population Dynamics and Prey Use
Mountain lions (Puma concolor) have recently recolonized the North Dakota Badlands nearly a century after their extirpation; due to the relatively recent reappearance of mountain lions in the region, most population metrics are unknown. From 2011‒2013, we fitted 14 mountain lions with GPS collars …

In a Garden of Lions: a Creative Rendering Inspired by the Three Metamorphoses of Friedrich Nietzsche
<p>A decade ago, during the summer of 2002, I read Friedrich Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It made an indelible mark: even the colors and smells of that roof-top porch in Toronto where I read it all the way through still arise in the forefront of my mind every time I think of this text. Since …

Until lions learn to speak... placing the African oral tradition at the centre of power, knowledge, and media
The production of knowledge has become a matter of power rather than truth and can serve either serve as a tool of liberation or domination. This creative project seeks to explore the interaction of power, knowledge and media in Africa given its history with European colonialism. This period …

Towards multimodal monitoring of large African carnivores
… collection of ecological data to monitor African lions (Panthera leo) and leopards (Panthera pardus). The most used technologies are camera traps and GPS or VHF collars. Passive acoustic monitoring could act as a complementary monitoring tool because both species produce loud, recognisable …

Diet quality and season affect physiology and energetic priorities of captive Steller sea lions during and after periods of nutritional stress
… for the conservation of wildlife. Steller sea lions(Eumetopias jubatus) were subjected to different quantities and qualities of food to determine what physiological and endocrine responses would occur and whether they differed between season (summer and winter) or diet (high-lipid Pacific …

Driving giants: spatial and temporal variables influencing giraffe movements in a private protected area
… of southern giraffes (Giraffa giraffa) and lions (Panthera leo) within a small private protected area in South Africa where lions are the primary predator of giraffes. Giraffes are most vulnerable to predation when young, sick, or when in a splay-legged position while drinking water. In …

First detection of otarine herpesvirus-1 in South America: Characterizing the epidemiology in a Peruvian pinniped population

Estimating abundance, density, and occupancy of lion, leopard and serval in the Niokolo Koba National Park in Senegal
… (MR) and spatial mark resight (SMR) methods for lions. Lions selected optimal sites with both high tree density and prey activity; leopards occupied areas with high tree density but with less prey activity; and servals selected habitats with more dense canopy cover where leopards were absent. The …

The conservation status and dynamics of a protected African lion Panthera leo population in Kafue National Park, Zambia
The abundance of African lions Panthera leo has declined rapidly in recent decades, largely due to competition for space with growing human populations. The future persistence of the species in the wild therefore depends heavily on viable populations in large protected areas, where lions play key …

Inactivity and overfeeding related changes in skeletal muscle composition and metabolism in captive felids - are they at risk of developing metabolic syndrome?
… the skeletal muscle properties of captive lions (Panthera leo) who present with obesity and are physically inactive, with a group of free roaming wild lions. Skeletal muscle biopsies were collected from the Triceps brachii and analysed for fibre type composition, fibre size, and maximum …
