Michael Flores+FollowPine Marten Babies Are Back After 100 Years!Wildlife win alert: Pine marten kits have been spotted in Dartmoor for the first time in over a century! Thanks to a massive team effort, these adorable, super-rare mammals are making a comeback after being wiped out by habitat loss. The best part? The new kits mean the reintroduction is working—nature is seriously bouncing back. If you’re lucky enough to spot one, the Two Moors Pine Project wants to know! More releases are coming to Exmoor soon. Nature nerds, this is huge! #Science #WildlifeRecovery #PineMarten208023Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowEarth’s BLOBS Are Behind Epic Eruptions?!Turns out, massive volcanic eruptions (like the ones that wiped out the dinosaurs) are triggered by giant, slow-moving blobs deep inside the Earth! Scientists finally cracked the mystery: these BLOBS, found 1,500 miles down, actually move over millions of years, acting like magma highways to the surface. Not only do they cause insane eruptions, but they also bring up rare minerals (hello, diamonds!). Wild to think the ground under our feet is shifting in ways we can’t even see! #Science #EarthScience #Volcanoes361Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowDeer Saved from Plastic Nightmare!A deer in Georgia got a second chance after rescuers freed it from a plastic ring stuck around its neck—thanks to a quick-thinking neighbor who called for help! Turns out, the plastic came from a homemade deer feeder (yikes). The deer’s okay now, but this is a wild reminder: plastic pollution is everywhere, and it’s hurting animals (and us). If you spot wildlife in trouble, call the pros—sometimes a little human help really does save the day! #Science #WildlifeRescue #PlasticPollution8193Share
Tamara Jones+FollowGrandma Sea Turtle Makes Epic ComebackJasmine, a 64-year-old loggerhead sea turtle, just returned to Jekyll Island to lay her eggs—making her the oldest nesting loggerhead ever recorded there! She’s been coming back since 1991, and these turtles always return to their birthplace to nest. Loggerheads can lay up to 500 eggs a season, and the sand’s temp decides if hatchlings are boys or girls. If you’re ever on Jekyll Island, you might spot these ancient mamas—just remember to use turtle-safe lights! #Science #SeaTurtles #JekyllIsland2341Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowTrees: The Secret to Cooler Cities?Did you know planting more trees could make city nights way cooler—literally? A new Vegas study found street trees can drop temps by almost 30°F in their shade, and citywide nighttime temps by 3°F! But it’s not just about the heat—more trees also mean better health and even slower cognitive aging. Desert cities don’t get as much cooling as wetter places, but trees still make a big difference. Would you want more trees on your street? #Science #UrbanTrees #CityLife20Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowButterflies Hit a Chilly RoadblockButterflies are adapting fast to climate change, but even their super-evolution skills have limits! Scientists in Sweden found that wall brown butterflies can speed up their growth and nail winter timing as they move north, but freezing winters still stop them from going further. Turns out, evolution can’t outsmart every climate challenge. Why does it matter? Knowing these limits helps predict which pollinators (and pests!) might move as the planet warms. Want to help butterflies? Plant native wildflowers and cut light pollution! #Science #ClimateChange #Butterflies70Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowImagine Surviving the Dino-Killer HourEver wondered what the first hour after the dinosaur-killing asteroid hit was like? Total chaos. We’re talking instant firestorms, a sky raining molten rock, earthquakes off the charts, and tsunamis bigger than skyscrapers. The planet literally rang like a bell, forests ignited in seconds, and the sun vanished behind a cloud of debris. All of this in just 60 minutes—no wonder it wiped out the dinosaurs! Makes you think about how fast everything can change, right? #Science #Chicxulub #MassExtinction63Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowHumans Are Making New Rocks—Fast!Did you know we’re literally making new rocks in just 35 years? Geologists found steel factory waste on England’s coast has fused into stone, trapping things like old can tabs inside. Normally, rocks take millions of years to form, but this man-made process is speeding things up like crazy. It’s wild to think our trash is now part of Earth’s geology—and it’s happening all over the world. The catch? It’s messing with coastlines and local wildlife. Nature’s rock cycle just got a human remix! #Science #EarthScience #Anthropocene304Share
Tamara Jones+FollowDid Someone Just Find Atlantis?!An archaeologist claims he’s actually found Atlantis off the coast of Spain—complete with underwater walls and canals that supposedly match Plato’s ancient descriptions. He even showed off underwater footage at a big conference! Some experts are still skeptical (because, well, Atlantis has been “found” before), but this guy swears he’s touched the ruins himself. If true, this could totally rewrite what we know about history. Wild, right? #Science #Atlantis #Archaeology31257Share
martinezlaura+FollowSpain’s Beaches Overrun by Alien AlgaeSpanish coastlines are getting smothered by a super-aggressive Asian algae, and it’s causing chaos for locals, tourists, and the fishing industry. This stuff multiplies like crazy—think 3,000 plants per square meter! The result? Beaches piled with rotting seaweed, fewer fish, and millions lost each year. Some scientists are trying to turn the mess into fertilizer, but experts say prevention is key. Would you visit a beach covered in seaweed mountains? Wild times for Spain’s shores! #Science #InvasiveSpecies #Spain70Share
