megangibson+FollowMoths That Navigate by Stars?!Did you know bogong moths in Australia pull off an epic migration every year, using both the stars and Earth’s magnetic field to find their ancestral summer caves? These tiny insects fly up to 1,000 km—like a human circling the globe twice! Even crazier: if clouds block the stars, they switch to magnetic navigation. Sadly, climate change is putting these incredible navigators (and the animals that rely on them) at serious risk. Nature is wild—and fragile! #NatureIsAwesome #BogongMoth #WildlifeFacts #Science20Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowWhales Are Out Here Blowing Bubble Rings!Did you know humpback whales make bubble rings just for fun—and sometimes right in front of whale watchers? Researchers found these gentle giants aren’t just using bubbles to hunt or fight; they’re actually showing off and being curious around humans. Most of the time, the whales were super chill, even playful, blowing perfect bubble rings while people watched. It’s like the whales are just as interested in us as we are in them! #HumpbackWhales #MarineLife #NatureIsAwesome #Science772Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowGiant Blue Crab Makes Epic ComebackA massive, bright blue coconut crab just popped up on Car Nicobar Island for the first time in over 150 years! This giant, which can weigh up to 11 pounds and crack coconuts, hadn’t been seen since before the 2004 tsunami wiped out much of its habitat. Scientists finally spotted one chilling in a cave, proving these legends are still out there—and reminding us to look beyond the beaches for wildlife surprises. #WildlifeWin #NatureIsAwesome #CoconutCrab #Science191Share
James Brady+FollowMeet the Giant Woolly Rat IRL!A massive, 33.5-inch-long woolly rat just got its first-ever photos snapped after 30 years of hiding! This shaggy beast, found in New Guinea, is basically the Bigfoot of rats—huge, elusive, and living its best life in the treetops. Thanks to a determined scientist and some local guides, we finally have proof this giant fluffball exists. Who knew the world still had secrets this wild? #WildlifeDiscovery #NatureIsAwesome #ScienceNews #Science71Share
William Mckinney+FollowBearded Vultures Are Back in Spain!A bearded vulture chick just hatched in the wild in southern Spain for the first time in 30+ years! This is a huge win for conservation—these birds vanished from Andalucía in the '80s, but thanks to a reintroduction program, they’re making a comeback. These bone-eating scavengers help keep ecosystems healthy, and their return could even boost local tourism. Proof that when we help nature, it really does bounce back! #WildlifeWin #Conservation #NatureIsAwesome #BeardedVulture #GoodNews #Pets90Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowYellowstone Bison’s Epic Comeback!Did you know Yellowstone’s wild bison herd bounced back from just 23 survivors in the 1900s to over 5,400 today? After a century of near extinction, these resilient giants are thriving again, all from a single herd! Their comeback isn’t just a win for wildlife—it’s a powerful symbol for Indigenous communities and conservationists. The bison’s story proves nature can make a comeback with a little help. Seriously, who else is rooting for these fluffy legends? #BisonComeback #Yellowstone #Conservation #WildlifeWin #NatureIsAwesome #Science330Share
megangibson+FollowSpotted: Rare 'Paint-Splashed' Elk!Did you see the pics of that elk in Colorado with wild white patches? It’s not just a fashion statement—she’s got piebaldism, a super rare genetic trait that only pops up in 1 out of 100,000 elk! Locals say she looks like she took a dip in white paint. If you’re in Estes Park, keep your distance though—elk moms are extra feisty during calving season. Nature is seriously showing off! #WildlifeWednesday #RareFind #ColoradoElk #NatureIsAwesome #Piebald #Science10Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowEagle Flies 3,000 Miles on Pure InstinctGet this: scientists tracked a rare Pallas’s fish eagle that’s been flying from Mongolia to India’s Kaziranga National Park every year—no GPS, just pure instinct! The eagle breeds in Kaziranga, then its chicks (barely two months old!) make the epic journey back to Mongolia solo. With only about 2,500 of these eagles left, seeing them return to this protected spot is a huge win for conservation and biodiversity. Nature is wild, literally! #WildlifeWonders #Conservation #Kaziranga #EndangeredSpecies #NatureIsAwesome #Science5752Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowWhale Goes Full Superhero Mode!Did you see that insane whale leap? One second, calm ocean—next, a massive whale launches out of nowhere like it’s showing off for the crowd. These gentle giants can weigh as much as 24 elephants, but still pull off acrobatics that leave everyone speechless. Humpbacks are the real MVPs here, and every jump is a reminder of how wild and magical the ocean really is. Let’s keep these moments alive by protecting our ocean buddies! #WhaleWatching #NatureIsAwesome #OceanMagic #WildlifeWednesday #Science87718Share
