Richard Vaughan+FollowPrehistoric Fish Spotted Alive—70M Years Later!Imagine diving deep and coming face-to-face with a fish thought extinct since the dinosaurs! That’s exactly what happened off Indonesia, where divers filmed a living coelacanth—aka a real-life fossil. This fish’s lineage is older than trees and was only known from fossils until the 20th century. Now, it’s been caught on camera in its natural habitat for the first time ever. Scientists are buzzing, but with threats like pollution and fishing, this ancient survivor needs urgent protection! #Science #WildDiscovery #LivingFossil1375Share
robertjones+Follow1,500 Tarantulas Found in Cake Boxes?!Airport staff in Germany opened some suspiciously smelly cake boxes and found—wait for it—1,500 baby tarantulas stuffed inside! The spiders were packed in little tubes hidden in sponge cake packaging, and customs officers were totally freaked out. Sadly, a lot of the spiders didn’t survive the wild 5,400-mile trip from Vietnam. The survivors are now with an expert, and the person behind this creepy cargo is facing criminal charges. Who even thinks of this stuff?! #News #AirportDrama #WildDiscovery12654Share
Michelle York+FollowAncient Fish Back From the Dead?!A fish everyone thought went extinct with the dinosaurs was found alive and kicking in 1938! The coelacanth, a 400-million-year-old “living fossil,” shocked scientists when it turned up in a fisherman’s net in South Africa. Turns out, locals in the Indian Ocean had known about it for ages. This fish has wild features—lobed fins that move like legs and a jaw that unhinges like a monster movie. Sadly, there are only a few hundred left, so it’s a real-life sea legend in danger. #LivingFossil #Coelacanth #WildDiscovery #Science756Share
Michelle York+FollowAncient ‘Dinosaur Fish’ Spotted Alive!Imagine thinking a fish went extinct with the dinosaurs, only for it to pop up in Indonesia—caught on camera for the first time ever! A coelacanth, aka the ‘living fossil,’ was just photographed 475 feet underwater by a marine biologist who had to master some seriously risky diving. This is a huge win for science and conservation, but the exact spot is staying secret to protect these rare creatures. Nature really does keep the wildest secrets! #LivingFossil #Coelacanth #WildDiscovery #DeepSea #Conservation #Science41723Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowAncient Gladiators vs. Lions? Proof Found!Turns out, those wild stories about Roman gladiators fighting lions weren’t just legends! Archaeologists finally found physical proof—a skeleton in York, England, with lion bite marks. This is the first real evidence that these brutal battles happened, even far from Rome. It’s wild to think about how Roman culture (and their crazy games) spread all the way to Britain. Now scientists are wondering: how did they even get lions to England back then? #HistoryNerd #Archaeology #AncientRome #Gladiators #WildDiscovery #Science773Share
