Megafelinology (SNOW LEOPARDS + OTHER BIG CATS) with Imogene Cancellare

Cheetahs. Tigers. Jaguars. Pumas. Panthers. Snow leopards. How big is a big cat? And who decides? Let’s ask the charming wildlife biologist, science communicator, and Megafelinologist Dr. Imogene Cancellare. She shares tales of remote field work, snow-capped mountains, narrow escapes, camera trap revelations, DNA discoveries, brinks of extinction, if big cats like big boxes, why tails can be bobbed, lioness manes, big cat attacks, and making huge biscuits. Also: how to make your cats *Obsessed* with you.  Visit Dr. Cancellare’s website [https://www.biologistimogene.com/] and follow her on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/biologistimogene/], Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/biologistimogene.bsky.social], and Google Scholar [https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Ce7U-dEAAAAJ&hl=en] A donation went to the Snow Leopard Trust [https://snowleopard.org/] More episode sources and links [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/megafelinology] Other episodes you may enjoy: Felinology (CATS) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/felinology], Carnivore Ecology (LIONS, TIGERS, & BEARS) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/carnivoreecology], Scatology (POOP) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/scatology], Mammalogy (MAMMALS) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/mammalogy], Eco-Odorology (SCIENCE-SNIFFING DOGS) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ecoodorology], Confectionology (CANDY) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/confectionology], Ethnocynology (HUMANS & DOGS THROUGH TIME) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ethnocynology], Lupinology (WOLVES) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/lupinology], Wildlife Ecology (FIELDWORK) [https://www.alieward.com/ologies/wildlifeecology] 400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic [https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic] Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes [https://pod.link/1746567248] Sponsors of Ologies [https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors] Transcripts and bleeped episodes [https://alieward.com/ologies-extras] Become a patron of Ologies [https://www.patreon.com/ologies] for as little as a buck a month OlogiesMerch.com [https://www.ologiesmerch.com/] has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!
