Jessica Hodge+FollowGorillas: Secret Tree Dwellers?!Turns out, gorillas are way more into tree life than anyone thought! Even the big, burly silverbacks are climbing up for snacks, not just the little ones. Some groups spend up to 34% of their time in the trees—way more than the old 7% estimate. And it’s not just about fruit; they’ll climb for leaves, too. This totally flips what we thought about gorilla evolution and could even change how we see our own ancient relatives! #Gorillas #WildlifeFacts #Evolution #Science170Share
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
martinezlaura+FollowThis Bird Makes Eagles Look TinyEver thought the bald eagle was massive? Meet Pelagornis sandersi, a prehistoric bird with a wingspan up to 24 feet—double the size of today’s largest flyers! Its fossil was so huge they had to dig it out with a backhoe. This ancient sky beast could glide for weeks, snatching fish with its bony 'teeth.' Honestly, our modern birds look like sparrows next to this prehistoric terror! #PrehistoricBirds #WildlifeFacts #NatureIsCrazy #Science14812Share
awaters+FollowDingoes Aren’t Eating Your Sheep, Mate!Turns out, dingoes might not be the sheep-stealing villains Aussie farmers fear. A recent study checked out what’s really in predator poo and found that foxes are more likely to munch on livestock than dingoes, who mostly go for kangaroos and emus. So, before calling for a dingo cull, it might be worth looking at other ways to protect your flock—like using guard dogs or better fencing. Sometimes, the real threat isn’t who you think! #FarmingHacks #WildlifeFacts #MoneyLifehacks #AussieFarms #PredatorProof #Business90Share
