Iβm Rachel Fobar and I write about wildlife crime and exploitation for National Geographic. My most recent story is about the controversial practice of lion farming in South AfricaβAMA
Hi Iβm Rachel, and I write about wildlife crime and exploitation for National Geographic. For this story, photographer Nichole Sobecki and I visited one of South Africaβs controversial lion farms, where lions are often bred for sale or hunting. Permits to own, breed, and even kill lions donβt take humane treatment into consideration, and this story covers the welfare issues in the countryβs lucrative captive lion industry. You can read more of my stories here, and you can find me on Twitter. Thanks for reading and ask me anything!
EDIT: Thanks so much for your questions! I really enjoyed answering them, but I have to run now. Thanks again for your interest!

Bought a trail camera to see what wildlife visits my garden when I'm not around. Now I have an SD card full of photos of next-door-but-one's cat.
Somehow its anus is visible in 86.2% of the images.
Edit: I should have provided a sample picture earlier.
Edit 2: And here's a frontal view.
Edit 3: Going through the latest batch of photos, I've found a different cat too. No idea where that one lives. Sorry about the quality of all these, but the cat was some distance from the camera (the images are heavily cropped) and the light's not been good even when it was daytime.
