Patrick Simmons+FollowCactus Comeback: Off the Endangered List!The Colorado hookless cactus just made a wild comeback—it's officially off the endangered list after 40+ years! Thanks to some serious teamwork from conservation groups, this rare plant (found only in western Colorado) is thriving again. But get this: over half its habitat is still unprotected and there’s oil and gas activity nearby, so the fight isn’t over. Still, it’s a huge win for biodiversity and proof that conservation works! Would you trust the cactus is safe now? #ConservationWin #EndangeredSpecies #NatureNews #Science60Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowPine Martens Spotted Back in Wiltshire!Trail cams just caught rare footage of pine martens—those adorable, bushy-tailed mammals that nearly vanished from England! Once wiped out everywhere but Scotland, these cuties are finally making a comeback in Wiltshire, thanks to conservation efforts. DNA and camera traps at Longleat Estate proved they’re back, and now local groups are setting up feeding stations to keep tabs on them. Proof that a little protection goes a long way for wildlife! #WildlifeWin #PineMarten #Conservation #TrailCam #NatureNews #Science280Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowWolves’ Surprising Snack Choices in NLTurns out, Dutch wolves aren’t picky eaters! Most of the time, they’re chowing down on wild boar and deer, but in places like Drenthe where wild prey is scarce, they’re also going after free-roaming cattle and even sheep. Researchers dug through 735 wolf droppings (yep, really) and found their menu changes by region and season. The twist? Conservation cattle, meant to help nature, are now on the wolves’ radar. Wild, right? #Wolves #Netherlands #Wildlife #NatureNews #Conservation #Science191Share
Michelle York+FollowGoldfinches Are on the Move—But Why?Lesser goldfinches are suddenly popping up way north of their usual hangouts, and scientists are buzzing about it. In just 10 years, their numbers in Washington shot up by over 100%! Climate change and habitat tweaks are pushing these little birds to new places, but their arrival could shake up local ecosystems. It’s wild to see how fast nature adapts, but it’s also a big warning sign. Would you want new species moving into your backyard? #ClimateChange #WildlifeWatch #InvasiveSpecies #NatureNews #Science180Share
Michelle York+FollowCapuchins Are Kidnapping Baby Monkeys?!Wild capuchin monkeys have started snatching newborn howler monkeys and carrying them around like bizarre trophies. It all began with one mischievous male (nicknamed Joker), and now others have joined in, leading to at least four infant deaths since 2022. Researchers think these super-smart, bored capuchins are just looking for something to do—no predators, no competition, so they invent wild new trends. It’s like monkey peer pressure gone way too far! #Wildlife #MonkeyBusiness #NatureNews #AnimalBehavior #Capuchins #Science101Share
James Brady+FollowLost Gecko Found After 30 Years!Imagine thinking a species was gone forever, only to stumble upon a whole crew of them chilling in a hidden canyon! That’s exactly what happened in South Africa, where researchers just rediscovered the Blyde Rondavel flat gecko after three decades. They thought it was extinct—turns out, it was just hiding out. This wild find is a huge win for conservation and proof that there’s still so much we don’t know about our planet. Would you support more efforts to protect these hidden gems? #WildlifeWin #Conservation #Biodiversity #NatureNews #LostAndFound #Science100Share
Michelle York+FollowUltra-Rare Bird Spotted After 100+ Years!Wildlife watchers in Malaysia just spotted a Chinese crested tern—a bird so rare it was thought extinct until 2000 and hasn’t been seen in the area since 1913! With only about 50 adults left in the wild, this is a huge win for conservation. The sighting in Bako-Buntal Bay is giving hope for the species and showing why protecting these habitats is so important. Nature really does surprise us! #WildlifeWin #RareBird #Conservation #NatureNews #Biodiversity #Science2904Share
Wesley Romero+FollowWild Boars Are Back—And Locals Are Freaking OutWild boars, once extinct in the UK, are suddenly roaming Dartmoor National Park again—and people are seriously worried. Locals have spotted these chunky, tusked creatures charging at dogs and fear what could happen if a kid runs into one. Some say they were illegally reintroduced, and now there are thousands across England! While boars help the ecosystem, they can also wreck crops and spread disease. Would you want these wild animals in your backyard? #WildlifeWatch #Dartmoor #WildBoar #NatureNews #UKParks #Pets14149Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowGhost Forests Are Taking Over the CoastHave you seen those creepy, dead tree graveyards popping up along the coast? Scientists say rising sea levels are turning forests into "ghost forests"—and we’re about 50 years behind on fixing it. Instead of lush woods, we’re getting marshes full of invasive reeds, and it’s messing with wildlife, storm protection, and even the carbon cycle. Wild to think how fast climate change is transforming our landscapes! #ClimateChange #GhostForests #Environment #SeaLevelRise #NatureNews #Science184Share
Cassandra Snyder+FollowHedgehogs: Cute or Catastrophe?Scotland’s got a wild animal drama: hedgehogs are endangered on the mainland but total troublemakers on the island of Benbecula. They were brought in to eat garden pests, but now they’re snacking on rare bird eggs and chicks! The government’s dropping over £97k to relocate these spiky invaders instead of culling them, hoping to save both the birds and the hedgehogs. Would you move them or let nature take its course? #HedgehogDrama #WildlifeRescue #Conservation #Scotland #NatureNews #Pets11Share
