Richard Vaughan+FollowOrcas Are Leveling Up—And It’s WildKiller whales are seriously upping their game! Scientists have spotted orcas pulling off some next-level hunting moves, like teaming up to take down a blue whale (yes, the biggest animal on Earth) and even attacking boats off Spain and Portugal. They’re learning these tricks from each other, and it’s making them even smarter—and scarier. Turns out, their brains are wired for memory and emotion, maybe even more than ours. Anyone else getting major Blackfish vibes? #Science #Orcas #Wildlife430Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowHikers Miss Wild Wolf Pack—Literally!Imagine hiking through Yellowstone and strolling right past a sleeping wolf pack... and not even noticing! That’s exactly what happened to two tourists, caught on camera by a wildlife photographer. The best part? The wolves didn’t care at all—totally busting the myth that wolves are out to get people. Turns out, wolves are way more chill (and misunderstood) than we think. Bonus: Their comeback has actually helped Yellowstone’s ecosystem bounce back big time! #Science #Yellowstone #Wildlife860Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowOrcas Caught Kissing Underwater?!Turns out orcas might be just as affectionate as we are! For the first time ever, scientists filmed wild orcas 'tongue nibbling'—basically their version of kissing. This sweet, face-to-face moment lasted almost two minutes and could be how they bond or make up after a spat. Who knew killer whales had such a soft side? #Science #Orcas #Wildlife111Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowOrcas Are Sharing Snacks With Humans?!Killer whales are literally offering their prey to humans—like, dropping fish at people’s feet or boats. Researchers just documented 34 wild orca “gifts” to humans across the globe. It’s the first time scientists have seen a wild predator do this! Turns out, orcas might be trying to bond with us, just like they do with each other. Some even tried more than once when people didn’t accept their snack. Are we officially part of the orca friend group now? #Science #Orcas #Wildlife100Share
Michelle York+FollowWild Animal Poop Reveals Plastic ShockerScientists just found microplastics in the poop of wild animals like deer and boar in Switzerland—yep, even their droppings aren’t safe from plastic pollution. Out of 15 samples, 14 had bits of plastic, including Teflon and rubber. It’s wild (and kinda gross) to think our trash is literally everywhere now, even inside animals. Experts say these tiny plastics could mess with our health, too. Time to rethink those single-use plastics? #Microplastics #PlasticPollution #Wildlife #Science81Share
Matthew Kirk+FollowYellowstone Bison’s Tragic Hot Spring FallWitnesses at Yellowstone watched in shock as a bison accidentally fell into a scalding hot spring and boiled to death right in front of them. The poor animal tried to escape but couldn’t get out of the 192-degree water. Apparently, this isn’t that rare—Yellowstone’s hot springs have claimed other animals too. Just a wild reminder that those gorgeous pools are way more dangerous than they look! #Yellowstone #Bison #Wildlife #Pets464Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowAntarctica’s Not-So-Silent ProblemTurns out, even in Antarctica, wildlife can’t escape our noise! Scientists found that a power generator’s hum can be heard 2km away in a supposedly protected area, stressing out seabirds and marine mammals. The noise is messing with their communication, foraging, and even causing higher stress hormone levels. It’s wild (and kinda sad) that our tech is stressing out penguins at the literal edge of the world. Should we be worried about how far our noise travels? #Antarctica #NoisePollution #Wildlife #Science120Share
Tanya Jackson+FollowBear Spotted Roaming Red Lion!A black bear was caught strolling through a Red Lion neighborhood—yep, right by someone’s car! Locals snapped pics and the Game Commission says it’s normal for young bears to wander during mating season. If you spot one, don’t panic: make noise, back away slowly, and never run. Bears usually avoid people, but don’t underestimate their speed or those claws. Would you freak out or grab your phone for a pic? #BearSighting #RedLion #Wildlife #Pets872Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowOrcas Invent Spa Day With Seaweed!Orcas are literally giving each other seaweed massages! Scientists caught them on drone footage picking, trimming, and rolling kelp between their bodies—like a DIY spa day in the ocean. Turns out, this isn’t just playtime; it might help their skin and strengthen family bonds. The best part? Every age and gender joins in, and it’s probably a must-do in their pods. Who knew killer whales were such wellness gurus? #Orcas #Wildlife #AnimalBehavior #Science170Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowBear Drama in the City!A young brown bear wandered into Lithuania’s capital, Vilnius, and the whole country freaked out. The government wanted it shot, but local hunters refused—turns out there are only a handful of these rare bears left! Instead, the hunters pushed for a chill solution: sedate and relocate. In the end, the bear just strolled back to the forest on her own, munching corn and dodging all the drama. Wild city adventure, right? #Wildlife #Lithuania #BearWatch #Science1643Share
