Michelle York+FollowWhales Are Blowing Bubble Rings at Us?!Scientists just caught humpback whales making perfect bubble rings—like underwater smoke donuts—when humans are around. Unlike their hunting bubbles, these rings seem playful or maybe even a way to say hi! Some whales even used one nostril to make them (seriously, how cool is that?). The best part? They only do it when people are nearby, hinting at curiosity or a wild attempt at interspecies communication. Next time you’re whale watching, keep your eyes peeled for these magical moments! #WhaleWednesday #NatureIsWild #InterspeciesCommunication #Science260Share
megangibson+FollowGlaciers Are Literally Making Music?!Did you know you can actually HEAR glaciers melting? A researcher in Iceland started recording glacier sounds after being inspired by a Sigur Rós song, and what he found is wild—melting ice makes all these popping, fizzing, and squealing noises as air bubbles escape. It’s like nature’s own soundtrack! Beyond being super cool, these sounds help scientists track how fast glaciers are disappearing (spoiler: it’s happening fast). Kinda makes you want to listen closer to what the planet’s telling us, right? #ClimateChange #GlacierSounds #NatureIsWild #Science121Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowSaharan Dust Storms: Nature’s Wild RideDid you see those insane satellite pics? A massive Saharan dust storm just swept across the Atlantic—think 150,000 square kilometers of orange haze! Not only does this dust mess with air quality (hello, allergy season), but it also fertilizes the ocean and even the Amazon rainforest. Wild, right? Satellites like Sentinel-3 and Sentinel-5P are tracking it all, showing us how these storms connect continents and feed entire ecosystems. Nature’s got some serious moves! #SaharanDust #EarthScience #NatureIsWild #Science60Share
Joseph Hartman+Follow👀 Meet the Big-Eyed Wonder of the Night!Ever heard of the Bohol Tarsier? This tiny primate might just be one of the strangest (and cutest!) creatures you'll ever meet. Native to Bohol Island in the Philippines, each of its eyes is bigger than its brain—no joke! These giant peepers are like built-in night vision goggles, perfect for spotting snacks in the dark. But don’t let the size fool you—this little guy can jump. Thanks to its oversized feet and powerful hind legs, the Bohol Tarsier can leap from tree to tree like a fuzzy ninja, hunting insects and small invertebrates. It’s like Mother Nature crossed an owl, a monkey, and a gremlin... and we’re obsessed. #TarsierTuesday #WeirdAndWonderful #NatureIsWild #TinyButMighty #BigEyesBigSurprise471Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowWildlife Showdown: Takahē vs. Tuatara!Imagine stumbling across a takahē and a tuatara—two of New Zealand’s rarest creatures—having a full-on face-off in the bush! That’s exactly what happened to a ranger on Tiritiri Matangi Island, and the video is wild. These ancient animals are both conservation success stories, and seeing them healthy (and feisty!) in the same spot is proof that protecting habitats really works. Who knew takahē could get so bold? Nature’s drama, caught on camera! #WildlifeWednesday #ConservationWin #NatureIsWild #Pets30Share
Tamara Jones+FollowNighttime Pollinators Are Secret MVPsTurns out, the real heroes of our food supply aren’t just bees and butterflies you see during the day—it’s also the bats, moths, and fireflies working the night shift! New research found that these nocturnal pollinators are just as important for plant reproduction as their daytime counterparts. We barely notice them, but without their help, we’d be in serious trouble. Maybe it’s time we show some love to the creatures making moves while we sleep! #NatureIsWild #Pollinators #NightShift #Science40Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowSea Turtles’ Wild GPS SuperpowerSea turtle hatchlings are born with a mind-blowing natural GPS! Minutes after hatching, they dash to the ocean, memorizing their beach’s unique scent and magnetic field. Then, they vanish for years, riding currents and using the Earth’s magnetic field to cross entire oceans—no map, no parents, just pure instinct. Decades later, they return to the exact same beach to lay eggs. Nature’s navigation skills are on another level! Protecting these little travelers is more important than ever. #SeaTurtles #NatureIsWild #AnimalMigration #Science20Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowBirds Have BFFs Too?!Turns out, African starlings aren’t just pretty faces—they form lifelong friendships just like us! After nearly 20 years of bird-watching, scientists found these birds help out not just their family, but their chosen friends too. Some starlings even swap roles with their besties over the years, sticking together through thick and thin. Basically, bird squads are real, and they’re way more loyal than we thought! #AnimalFriends #BirdBFFs #NatureIsWild #Science110Share
megangibson+FollowUnderwater Volcano Set to Blow?There’s a secret drama unfolding deep under the Pacific: Axial Seamount, one of the world’s most active underwater volcanoes, is gearing up for another eruption—possibly before 2025 ends. Scientists have nailed these predictions before by tracking the seafloor swelling like a balloon. No danger for us on land, but it’s a wild show for ocean life and research gear. If they catch it on camera, it’ll be a science jackpot! #VolcanoWatch #PacificMystery #ScienceNews #NatureIsWild #Science31345Share
boothconnor+FollowKayaker’s Wild Run-In With Giant FishImagine paddling along and suddenly spotting a fish as long as your kayak! That’s exactly what happened to Ethan Sommer, who stumbled upon a 13-17 foot mystery fish in shallow water. He thinks it was a sawfish (yep, those exist!), and he actually kayaked next to it for 15 minutes just soaking it all in. Talk about a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounter! Would you be brave enough to stick around? #WildlifeEncounter #KayakAdventures #Sawfish #NatureIsWild #ViralMoment #Spirituality5213Share
