For my current project, I’ve been rummaging (gently) around the collections of large cats at the @mfnberlin.bsky.social. There’s some really exciting stuff there, from ancient labels to named zoo cats and interesting pathologies. Big thanks to the people here for the opportunity & their support! 🐯🦁🐆

It’s a disgrace is what it is. And so very senseless. People who make (big) decisions should at the very least attempt to understand what they are making decisions about and the impact those decisions will have on people other than themselves.

I’m back! 🥳 Happy to report that I have returned to Sheffield to explore the history of zoos among my Sheffield zooarch family. I will post updates here as regularly as I can manage, so watch this space if you’re curious what I’ll get up to with this project. 😎 @zooarchlabsheff.bsky.social
