Dogs Are Now Plant Detectives?!

Who knew spaniels could be secret agents for endangered plants? Conservationists in Australia trained three adorable dogs—Paddy, Sully, and Vera—to sniff out the super-rare Wyong sun orchid, which hides underground most of the year. These pups are helping scientists find orchids without disturbing their habitat, and the method could work for other hard-to-find species too. Basically, dogs are out here doing what high-tech gadgets can’t, and it’s kind of amazing! #Conservation #DogsOfInstagram #Biodiversity #ScienceNews #EndangeredSpecies #Pets
