About Dr. Michael E. Tewes
Regents Professor and Frank Daniel Yturria Endowed Chair for Wild Cat Studies of the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute
Michael Tewes majored in wildlife science at Texas A&M University (B.S., M.S.) and at the Hornocker Wildlife Institute at the University of Idaho (Ph.D.). In 1981 Dr. Tewes began working at Texas A&M University-Kingsville as a Research Associate; he joined the faculty in 1986 and currently teaches Conservation Biology and conducts research in Feline Ecology.
His childhood interest in nature and his educational background have enabled him to observe and study the wildlife of southern Texas for most of his life, including ocelot, bobcat, and mountain lion. Dr. Tewes also conducts wild cat research around the world: jaguarundi, margay, and jaguar in Mexico; clouded leopard, golden cat, and marbled cat in Thailand; four species of civet cat in Taiwan; leopard and African wild cat in Botswana; and jungle cat in northern Israel. His research is featured in the documentary, American Ocelot, which PBS Nature released world-wide on November 9th, 2022 and is available to stream on Amazon Prime.
