DNA in the feces of snow leopards shows alpine #cats eat plants https://phys.org/news/2024-06-dna-feces-leopards-alpine-cats.html
Metabarcoding analysis provides insight into the link between prey and plant intake in a large alpine cat carnivore, the snow leopard https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.240132
"#felids do eat #plants despite their classification as #carnivores. In particular, Panthera uncia—or snow #leopards—seem to have a preference for a specific plant... The plant genus #Myricaria appeared the most frequently"

#Texas is the only state with a breeding population of #MountainLions that has virtually no protections for the species. Males, females, and cubs can all be killed year-round, with no limits on harvest. Texas is the only state of the sixteen with breeding populations that allows recreational trapping.
