    How Lynx School Helped Save the Iberian Lynx from Extinction

    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.

    American Cheetah: Unveiling the Truth

    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.

    Reevaluating Threats to Monarch Butterflies

    The great monarch migration is one of the most impressive events in nature. A tiny butterfly flies thousands of miles from Canada and the Northern US to Mexico to overwinter. However, fewer monarchs are completing the trip. In this episode, we investigate the causes of these incomplete migrations to understand how to help monarchs.
