Tamara Jones+FollowYou Won’t Believe How Dangerous Cute Wildlife Can BeEver see a baby deer or fuzzy duckling and want to scoop it up? Turns out, that’s a big no-no! Wildlife experts say the best thing you can do is keep your distance—those adorable babies usually have fiercely protective parents nearby. Getting too close can mean angry animal attacks, orphaned critters, or even a trip to the ER. Next time you spot a wild baby, snap a pic from afar and let nature do its thing! #Science #WildlifeWednesday #NatureLover100Share
Cassandra Snyder+FollowLeopard Selfies Are Next-Level WildTrail cameras in South Africa just snapped 647 pics of leopards—yes, actual wild leopards—plus a bunch of other rare animals. Researchers are using these epic shots to figure out how many leopards are out there and help protect them. Some cameras got stolen (ugh), but the data is still a game-changer for conservation. Imagine catching a leopard on camera in the wild! #Pets #WildlifeWednesday #Leopards20Share
xwest+FollowHumans vs. Eagles: The Real Threat?Turns out, Bonelli’s eagles in Spain had it rough during the COVID lockdowns—but not for the reasons you’d think. A new study found that human activities like hiking and biking were actually more dangerous to these endangered birds than weather or predators. Even when people weren’t around much, just our presence near their nests was a big problem. Maybe it’s time we rethink how we share wild spaces? #Health #BodyHealth #WildlifeWednesday10Share
Tamara Jones+FollowWolves Outsmart Crab Traps?!Wild trail cam footage just caught wolves doing something totally unexpected—they’re pulling crab traps out of the water to snack on the bait inside! Researchers are split on whether this counts as real tool use, but it’s a wild display of animal smarts. The twist? Human efforts to trap invasive crabs might be teaching wolves new tricks, and it’s all messing with the local ecosystem. Who knew wolves were such clever opportunists? #Science #WildlifeWednesday #Wolves50Share
megangibson+FollowTrail Cam Catches Chonky Grizzly Up CloseImagine checking your trail cam and seeing a snow-dusted grizzly bear giving you the ultimate close-up! That’s what happened in Yukon, where a hidden camera snapped a massive bear right before winter hibernation. People are obsessed with the footage—one even said it made their heart race. These bears are super important for the ecosystem, but climate change and habitat loss are making life tough for them. Trail cams like this help scientists keep tabs on these vulnerable giants! #Science #GrizzlyBear #WildlifeWednesday40Share
Tamara Jones+FollowOtters Crash Tiger Cam!Researchers set up cameras to count tigers in northern India and accidentally snapped the first-ever pics of smooth-coated otters in Nandhaur Wildlife Sanctuary! These rare, vulnerable otters are super picky about their river homes, so their surprise cameo means the ecosystem is healthier than anyone thought. It’s a big win for conservation—and proof that sometimes, the best discoveries happen by accident. Who else is hiding out there? #Science #WildlifeWednesday #OtterSpotting120Share
