Zachary Gutierrez+FollowLampreys: The Columbia’s Underdog DramaWho knew the Pacific lamprey was such a big deal? These ancient, jawless fish are struggling to survive thanks to dams and drying-up funding. Even with new lamprey-friendly passages, half get lost at every dam! Tribes are literally trucking them upriver just to keep them from disappearing. Forget salmon—lampreys are the true underdogs of the Columbia River, and their future is hanging by a thread. Would you ever try one at a tribal feast? #Science #PacificLamprey #Conservation70Share
Tamara Jones+FollowExtinct Dog Spotted After Decades!A wild dog species thought to be extinct since the '90s just popped up on a trail cam in India! Researchers caught a rare glimpse of the Asiatic wild dog (dhole) in Kaziranga-Karbi Anglong, proving these elusive canines have been sneaking around undetected for years. With only about 2,000 left, this find is a huge win for conservation—and a reminder that nature can surprise us when we least expect it! #Science #WildlifeWin #Conservation108734Share
Tamara Jones+FollowRare Flower Makes Epic Comeback!Thought the Camatta Canyon amole was almost extinct? Plot twist: scientists just found 16,000 of these 'tiny mystery' flowers in California! This endangered plant was believed to be super rare, but now there's hope it could bounce back. Turns out, weather changes might've helped it survive underground all this time. If more are found, it could even get off the endangered list. Proof that nature still has surprises up its sleeve! #NatureWin #RareFind #Conservation #Science50Share
gregorybrown+FollowTiger Family Poisoned in Sanctuary TragedyAbsolutely heartbreaking—five tigers (a mom and her four cubs) were found dead in a Karnataka wildlife sanctuary, and officials think it’s mass poisoning. Locals sometimes poison carcasses to protect their livestock, but this is the worst single-day tiger loss in any Indian sanctuary. Conservationists are furious, and there’s a full investigation underway. Can you believe 103 tigers have died in India just this year? Karnataka is usually a tiger haven, so this is a huge blow. #WildlifeCrisis #SaveTheTigers #Conservation #News370180Share
Tamara Jones+FollowSpotted: Super Rare Foxes in California!Wildlife photographer Randy Robbins just scored the ultimate wildlife jackpot—he caught the ultra-rare Sierra Nevada red fox on camera in Lassen Volcanic National Park! There are only about 18-39 of these foxes left in the wild, so seeing them is basically like finding a unicorn. Robbins hiked through snow and set up remote cameras at 8,500 feet just to get these clips. Now everyone’s rooting for these adorable, fuzzy survivors to make a comeback! #WildlifeWednesday #SierraNevadaRedFox #Conservation #Science520Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowBison’s Wild Comeback: From 1K to 500K!Did you know bison almost vanished forever? In the 1800s, there were up to 60 million bison roaming North America—then commercial hunting and government policies wiped them out, leaving less than 1,000 by the 1890s. Thanks to conservationists, Indigenous leadership, and some serious teamwork, bison herds are back up to around 500,000! But here’s the twist: only a tiny fraction are truly wild, and the fight to restore their place on the plains isn’t over. Wild, right? #BisonComeback #Conservation #WildlifeWin #Science330Share
Michael Flores+FollowExtinct Possum Caught on Camera?!Trail cameras in Australia just snapped pics of the leadbeater's possum—a species everyone thought was extinct in New South Wales! Only seven photos out of a million, but it’s proof these little pollinators are still out there. Ecologists were actually looking for another rare animal and ended up with this wild surprise. It’s a big win for conservation, but the fight to save them isn’t over yet. Nature’s full of surprises, right? #WildlifeWin #Conservation #TrailCamMagic #Science462Share
Michelle York+FollowEndangered Chameleon Found Where?!Wild discovery alert: scientists in Madagascar just spotted three ultra-rare Belalanda chameleons way outside their usual home turf. This is a huge win for conservation—these little guys were thought to only live in one tiny forest, which is under threat from farming and mining. Now, finding them miles away means their chances of survival just got a boost, and researchers have new hope (and new places) to protect. Proof that nature still has surprises up its sleeve! #WildlifeWin #Conservation #Madagascar #Science120Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowExtinct Aussie Marsupial Makes a Comeback!Red-tailed phascogales—thought to be extinct in parts of Australia for over a century—are back! Thanks to a major conservation push, dozens of these tiny marsupials were reintroduced to the wild just in time for breeding season. The best part? Some are wearing trackers so scientists can keep tabs on their progress. Proof that fighting invasive species and protecting habitats really works! Nature comeback stories like this seriously give me hope. #WildlifeWin #Conservation #GoodNews #Science910Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowRare Wild Cat Spotted Where It Shouldn’t Be!A farmer in Punjab just spotted an endangered fishing cat—way outside its usual stomping grounds! This is the first time one’s ever been seen in Hoshiarpur, and wildlife officials are buzzing. These elusive cats are basically the ninjas of the wetlands, twice the size of your house cat and love to swim. With fewer than 10,000 left, every sighting is a big deal for conservation. Could this mean their range is bigger than we thought? Wild! #WildlifeWin #FishingCat #Conservation #Pets931Share
