Fit Cheetahs is a #research project with @heriotwattuni.bsky.social analysing #cheetah tracks with WildTrack's Footprint Identification Technology for non-invasive #wildlife #conservation. Opinions are my own.
Such a pleasure to present my #cheetah & #otter #research at the @mammalsociety.bsky.social Conference. I loved all the inspiring talks & workshops and time with wonderful people. Looking forward to seeing you all again next year🦦🐆🐾

Looking forward to speaking at the Mammal Society Conference in Scotland today. My talk will be on #cheetah and #otter track analysis as a non-invasive monitoring method, and will cover #species and individual identification and Relatedness.

We did it! 🎉 Staff from Five Sisters Zoo & I ran a 5k @parkrun UK on Sat to raise funds for the zoo's new cheetah run. The #cheetahs seemed rather confused by my attire 😂🐆
If you would still like to contribute, the donation link is still open but will close soon

And suddenly it is done!
Last week I successfully defended my #PhD #research. It's been a long journey; plain sailing at times & a rollercoaster at others. Words can't express how happy, excited, grateful, relieved & proud I feel. Can't wait for the next #conservation project. Let's do this! 💪🐆🦦🐾🐾

Whose idea was it to do a 5k in the Scottish winter??! 🥶🤔😇😅 No seriously, I am looking forward to my first @parkrun UK with the staff from Five Sisters Zoo on 31 Jan for such a worthwhile cause. I am grateful for all your support! You can donate at fivesisterszoo.co.uk/product-cate... 😊🙏🏃♀️🐆

Donations - Five Sisters Zoo
During December and January, to celebrate International Cheetah Day, the Five Sisters Zoo (FSZ) team, in collaboration with researcher Larissa Slaney from the Fit Cheetahs project at Heriot-Watt University , is aiming to raise £4000 to purchase new enrichment items for our four cheetah residents. This new enrichment will help our cheetahs to continue expressing their natural behaviours. Ijubane, Velox, Artemis and Ashanti have lived at FSZ since 2022 and have become incredible ambassadors for their species. In this time, they have all contributed to important research that helps conservation efforts in wild cheetah habitats. As part of the fundraising efforts, members of the FSZ team, along with Larissa, will be carrying out various fundraising activities in the coming weeks, including a 5k park run. All support is very welcome!

'Where the Wild Things should be' is the theme of #NationalMammalWeek.
With fewer than 7,000 #cheetahs left, the species is classed as Vulnerable by the IUCN. Over the last century, the cheetah has lost >90% of their population as well as their distribution range.

This year's International Tracking Symposium #ITS25 was simply fab! Great workshops & speakers, a perfect venue in Holland and an amazing group of participants. I managed to attend talks & workshops on human #tracking, preservation of feathers & bones, scat morphology, antler ID & deer behaviour.

With a brilliant audience of trackers & beautiful weather we held our talk outside at this year's International Tracking Symposium. We discussed benefits of tracking knowledge for #wildlife #conservation & how to get trackers more involved in academic #research & #CitizenScience projects. 🐾🐾

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.
