sperkins+FollowYellowstone’s wild side: Up close with grizzliesSeeing Yellowstone’s remote backcountry through a hiker’s lens is a real eye-opener—imagine trekking along rugged ridges and suddenly coming face-to-face with grizzly bears! This isn’t the usual tourist path; it’s raw, unpredictable, and absolutely breathtaking. The video by @StanMills captures the true wildness of the park, showing just how challenging and rewarding it is to explore these untouched areas. It’s a reminder of how much of Yellowstone remains wild and mysterious. Would you ever venture this far off the beaten path? What’s your wildest outdoor encounter? #Travel #Yellowstone #Wildlife100Share
martinezlaura+FollowVaquita Baby Sighting = Hope RestoredWildlife nerds, this is the kind of good news we need: scientists just filmed a vaquita porpoise and her calf in the wild! With fewer than 10 of these cuties left, every new baby is a miracle. Illegal fishing nearly wiped them out, but this rare footage proves nature can bounce back if we help. It’s a tiny win, but it’s got ocean lovers everywhere buzzing. Can we save the vaquita? This sighting says there’s still a chance! #Science #vaquita #wildlife50Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowMeet the Real-Life Grolar Bear GrandmaPlot twist: every known polar-grizzly hybrid (aka grolar bear) in Canada’s western Arctic is related to one legendary female polar bear from 1989! Scientists thought there’d be more hybrids, but nope—just eight, all from her family tree. She mated with grizzlies and kicked off a whole new bear dynasty. With climate change mixing up habitats, we might see more of these wild hybrids soon. Nature is seriously full of surprises! #Science #grolarbear #wildlife120Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowWolf Taylor’s wild journey shakes up New MexicoTaylor, a Mexican gray wolf, just won’t stay put—he’s trekked back to Mount Taylor three times, even after being relocated miles away by wildlife officials. His persistence is sparking a real debate: Should humans keep enforcing invisible boundaries, or let these smart, independent animals decide where they belong? With more wolves venturing north as their numbers grow, some advocates say it’s time to rethink old rules and let nature take its course. What do you think—should Taylor be free to roam, or do boundaries matter for recovery? #Pets #Wildlife #NewMexico70Share
Ryan Mathis+FollowBear charges tourist at Glacier: Why rules matterA tourist at Glacier National Park walked right up to a wild bear for a photo—ignoring shouts from others to back off. The bear charged, giving a clear warning, but the man barely flinched. This kind of behavior doesn’t just put people at risk; it can also endanger the animals, who may be relocated or worse if they get too used to humans. Park rules exist for a reason: to keep both visitors and wildlife safe. What do you think—should there be stricter penalties for ignoring wildlife safety rules? #Entertainment #GlacierNationalPark #wildlife220Share
Daniel Barajas+FollowWild black bear surprises Eureka zoo staffA wild black bear strolled right into Sequoia Park Zoo in Eureka, catching staff completely off guard during their morning rounds. The bear didn’t cause trouble—just checked out the captive bears, sniffed around, and politely left with a little help from local police and wildlife officials. But this close encounter is a wake-up call: as forests shrink and cities grow, wild animals are showing up in places we never expected. How do you feel about wildlife popping up in our neighborhoods? What steps should we take to protect both animals and people? #Pets #Eureka #Wildlife00Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowWolf Taylor’s wild journey across I-40Taylor, the Mexican gray wolf, just can’t be contained—he’s crossed I-40 for the third time, ignoring the boundaries set by wildlife officials. Each time, he’s been relocated back south, but he keeps heading north, likely searching for a mate and new territory. Conservationists argue that wolves like Taylor should be allowed to roam, as their natural instincts could help restore genetic diversity and strengthen the endangered population. Should we rethink these boundaries and let wolves like Taylor decide where they belong? What would you do if you spotted a wolf in your area? #Pets #Wildlife #Conservation100Share
James Brady+FollowJaguars Are Back in the USA?!Jaguars aren’t just Amazon legends—they’re making a wild comeback in the American Southwest! Eight have been spotted in Arizona since 1996, with the latest caught on camera in the Huachuca Mountains. Each jaguar’s unique spots help scientists track them, but so far, it’s all dudes—no ladies, no babies. Conservation wins in Mexico are helping, but border walls and habitat loss are still big hurdles. Imagine seeing these big cats roaming the US again! #Science #Jaguars #Wildlife11Share
megangibson+FollowWildlife encounters on Arizona trails spark debateA mountain goat encounter on an Arizona hiking trail nearly turned dangerous after someone threw a rock at the animal, causing it to react unpredictably. The hiker who filmed the moment said they “saw my life flash before my eyes.” This kind of human behavior isn’t just risky for people—it can also lead to tragic outcomes for wildlife, who are often euthanized after such incidents. As more people head outdoors, these conflicts are on the rise. How do you think we should balance our love for nature with respect for wild animals’ space? #Science #Arizona #Wildlife40Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowWild hawk brings nature drama to suburbiaA hawk swooping into a suburban backyard and taking out a chicken is a reminder that wildlife is adapting fast to our neighborhoods. While it’s tough for backyard farmers, it’s also a sign that raptors and other predators are rebounding as we make our yards more inviting with native plants and less turf. These birds aren’t just cool to spot—they’re also vital for keeping local ecosystems healthy. Have you noticed more wildlife in your area lately? What’s your take on rewilding your yard versus keeping it classic? #Science #wildlife #backyardbirds20Share
