It’s the kiss at the end for me. 🐆😍 Sorry for the… ahem… crotch shot haha, Mowgli was just being too cute not to share. In case you’re curious, Mowgli is one of the clouded leopards I work with at @bigcathabitat Conservation and Education Center in Sarasota, Florida. These stunning cats are incredibly rare, and their rosettes, (the cloud-like patterns on their fur) are part of what makes them so special. Clouded leopards are naturally solitary, so when they choose affection, it means everything. Sadly, their wild populations are rapidly declining due to deforestation and poaching, which makes the work we’re doing at @bigcathabitat and @drinkjungl that much more important. I’m proud to support conservation and education through my work with @bigcathabitat , and even more excited to keep finding ways to give back through everything we’re building at @drinkjungl . My partners @maxstrong and @joehillsrq share the same deep commitment to protecting wildlife and preserving wild spaces. Together, we are building something bigger than a brand. We are here to make a lasting impact for animals, for people, and for the planet. Protecting what’s wild isn’t just part of our mission. It’s who we are!

She’s cute and she knows it! 🐆☺️ @drinkjungl This is Mowgli, a beautiful clouded leopard girl who calls @bigcathabitat home, and one of the inspirations behind the @drinkjungl brand. She is an ambassador animal who helps educate and inspire others about her wild counterparts that are facing rapid habitat loss, and declining prey populations. These incredible animals deserve our love, respect, and protection now more than ever. 🐆🖤 Follow: @conservation @drinkjungl @bigcathabitat

Came out of hiding for a minute to celebrate my friends Jake and Leisha’s wedding. Got to spend a few days with one of my best friends, Sophia — which is always so energizing. Congrats to the beautiful couple! This song is completely AI-generated by the way. I’m still deciding whether that’s hilarious or mildly concerning. Anyway, sending some peace and prosperity your way 🤙

Read the shirt‼️… 👋 I’m @robert , a passionate animal lover on a mission to protect wildlife, and keep wild spaces, by any means. I believe we can’t truly protect animals in the wild until people truly care about them and understand that they are complex emotional beings, just like us. That’s why I’m focused on educating others on the value of human-animal relationships. Long term, I see the world moving toward tech integration on a massive scale, and my vision is to merge technology and conservation in powerful ways. Right now, I’m focused on building @drinkjungl with my partners @maxstrong and @joehillsrq , a beverage brand launching June 2nd. It’s rooted in presence, connection, spirituality, and always feeling your best. We only use the purest ingredients, while supporting initiatives to protect animals and the wild places they call home. In my spare time, I volunteer with some truly incredible animals at @bigcathabitat Conservation and Education Center in Sarasota, Florida. I’ll be sharing more about that here. Thanks for stopping by. Follow along if you’re ready to help change the world, one hug at a time 🫂 @drinkjungl — JUNGL.com Rest in Peace Brian Barczyk @snakebytestv the shirt I am wearing here was one of his final merch drops. I didn’t know him personally, but everyone who knew him said he was a wonderful human. Rest in Peace Brian 🕊️🙏 🧘‍♂️😌🐆🌞✌️🏖️😎

Have you ever heard a Rhino whine before? 🔊 Captured this adorable moment at @imire.zimbabwe . This Black rhino momma and her baby came up to us to enjoy a little snack on this breathtaking 10,000-acre conservation. Such an incredible experience witnessing these critically endangered beauties in their natural habitat! A huge thank you to @reilly.travers for your warm welcome and for sharing your inspiring mission to protect these remarkable creatures. 🙌 Moments like these remind us why conservation matters. 💯

What would you do if an elephant tried to sniff you? Being up close with Mak, this massive bull elephant at Imire Rhino & Wildlife Conservancy, was more than just humbling… it was life-changing. Feeling his trunk reach out, so curious and gentle for such a powerful animal, is a moment I’ll carry with me. 🐘 Mak isn’t just an incredible creature; he’s a key part of Imire’s dedication to conservation, with a team protecting him 24/7 against poaching. Seeing the lengths that Imire goes to protect their land and animals really brings into perspective what life has to be like for these animals to survive. We need to be cherishing and protecting them, and Imire does exactly that. They dedicate their lives to this mission, and I admire them greatly! I’ll do anything I can to support their work. If you’re ever in 📍Zimbabwe, @imire.zimbabwe is where you’ll find the real heart of conservation. @imire.zimbabwe @reilly.travers @maxstrong #Imire #Zimbabwe #Conservation #Elephants

Locking eyes with the Serengeti’s fiercest huntress—a moment that left me breathless. This lone lioness was likely on the hunt, setting her sights on a group of warthogs in the distance. Unbothered by our presence, she made eye contact as she walked past, a true testament to her confidence and grace. This is just one of the incredible moments we’ve experienced so far on our @tanzaniaadventuretours safari. Shoutout to @cooperlost for being a legend and setting up this unforgettable adventure! #lioness #wildlife #photography #majestic #nature

Meet Mak, a massive bull elephant you can find at @imire.zimbabwe wildlife conservancy. I had the incredible opportunity to spend time with him while exploring their expansive 10,000-acre preserve with @maxstrong . The animals here are effectively wild, roaming free but closely protected by dedicated anti-poaching rangers. For three generations, the Travers family has been at the forefront of safeguarding Zimbabwe’s endangered wildlife. You can experience this magic too, whether by joining their volunteer program or staying at their safari lodge. If you’re passionate about wildlife, Imire is the place to be! @imire.zimbabwe Thank you @reilly.travers for welcoming us, and showing us what you care about most 🙏 Who was happier in this photo, me or Mac? 🐘😂 #elephant #conservation #wildlife #imire #animal
