Melvin Mosley+FollowGila Monsters vs. Climate Change?!Did you know Gila monsters might vanish from the Mojave Desert by 2082 if temps keep rising? These iconic, slow-moving lizards can’t just pack up and move to cooler spots—they’re basically homebodies! Scientists say even protected habitats might not be enough if the climate gets too wild. Gila monsters are not just cool—they help control pests and even inspired diabetes meds. Wild, right? If you care about desert vibes and biodiversity, this is one to watch! #ClimateChange #WildlifeConservation #GilaMonster #DesertLife #Biodiversity #Science00Share
James Brady+FollowPangolins: The Unsung Forest HeroesDid you know pangolins are basically nature’s secret weapon for forest recovery? Scientists just found out these adorable, scaly creatures aren’t just cute—they’re ecosystem engineers! Their burrows help burned forests bounce back, sheltering animals and helping plants regrow. Sites with pangolin burrows had way more plant and animal species than those without. Wild, right? With pangolins being so heavily trafficked, losing them could totally wreck forest ecosystems. Protecting them is more important than ever! #Pangolins #Biodiversity #WildlifeConservation #EcoHeroes #SaveThePangolin #Science251Share
William Mckinney+FollowShark Tours in Hawai'i Are Getting WildShark attacks are up in Hawai'i, and experts say it's because shark tourism is booming—and getting out of hand. With more boats and people feeding sharks to lure them in, the animals are acting totally different (think: circling boats, popping up at the surface). It's basically the Wild West out there, and there are zero rules stopping tour operators from getting way too close. Feeding sharks isn’t just risky for people—it messes with the whole ocean ecosystem! Time for some real regulation? #SharkTourism #Hawaii #WildlifeConservation #OceanSafety #EcoTourism #Pets120Share
