Tiger Meg was spayed on April 26 at PAWS' Pat Derby Animal Wellness Center – she recovered well and was back to her cheerful, active and hungry self the next morning. PAWS Director of Veterinary Services Dr. Jackie Gai oversaw the surgery, performed by Dr. Margo Mehl, DACVS, and her team from San Francisco Animal Medical Center, who generously donated their services. PAWS’ animal care and veterinary staff were on hand to assist. This surgery benefits captive tigers by preventing reproduction as well as cancers of the reproductive tract that are common in intact big cats. Big thanks to Dr. Mehl and her team! @SFAMC #paws #sanctuary #tiger pawsweb.org

Science is critical to understanding, protecting, and conserving wildlife populations. A new paper sheds light on the importance of older individuals to the survival of their species – from elephants to lions, whales, and fish – through essential ecological knowledge, reproduction, and immunity against disease. Policies are needed to protect elder animals and the knowledge they impart. Read about the paper below.

PAWS’ African elephant Mara is joined by her BFF Thika as the two wander over to a tiny watering hole (yes—tiny! 😊) for a little splashy mud shower on this beautiful spring day. Just goes to show—sometimes the smallest puddles bring the biggest joy, especially when you’re sharing them with a friend. #splash #sanctuary #elephants pawsweb.org #paws

Who's that handsome guy rolling in the hay? It's Pasha! And just when you think he’s fully lost in his antics, he’ll lock eyes with you—like he knows exactly how charming (and hilarious) he is. #paws #pashalion #sanctuary pawsweb.org
