These bridges cost just $200 and could totally change how we protect wildlife. Would you try walking across one? #Science #Rainforest #Wildlife182Share
martinezlaura+FollowColorado’s ‘demon bunnies’ mystery explainedThose wild photos of horned rabbits in Fort Collins have a surprising backstory—turns out, these so-called ‘demon bunnies’ aren’t supernatural at all. Scientists say the creepy growths are caused by Shope papillomavirus, a virus that’s been around for ages and even inspired the legendary jackalope myth. While the warty horns look scary, experts assure us the virus is harmless to humans and pets, and most rabbits recover just fine. It’s a fascinating reminder of how nature can spark folklore and even help us understand human diseases. Have you spotted any of these rabbits around town? #Science #Colorado #Wildlife00Share
Tanya Jackson+FollowColorado rabbits spotted with bizarre 'tentacles'Wild rabbits around Fort Collins have been turning heads with strange black growths—some folks are calling them 'Frankenstein' rabbits! Turns out, these odd lumps are caused by a virus that only affects rabbits and isn’t dangerous to people or pets (unless you have a pet rabbit, then keep them indoors). Most wild rabbits recover on their own, but the growths can look pretty wild—like warts, horns, or even tentacles. Have you seen any of these rabbits in your neighborhood?

Patrick Simmons+FollowWildcats Caught on Camera—Not Extinct Yet!Trail cams in Pakistan’s Kirthar National Park just snapped pics of two wildcat species—the Asiatic caracal and the sand cat—thought to be nearly extinct in the area. These cats are so rare, even the experts were shocked! But here’s the twist: one camera also caught humans poaching. With habitat threats looming, every sighting matters for conservation. Proof that nature still has surprises up its sleeve! #Science #Wildlife #Conservation3475Share
Dr. Michael Henson+FollowWolf strolls past Yellowstone tourists—no drama!A wild wolf casually wandered right past a group of Yellowstone tourists, barely giving them a glance. The moment, caught on camera, shows just how misunderstood these animals can be—no aggression, just a calm walk through the crowd. Despite old myths about wolves being dangerous to people, this encounter proves that, when respected, wolves are more likely to ignore us than attack.

Should they bring in more elephants or let her be? Wild, right? #Science #wildlife #conservation9476Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowAlligators make a comeback in Fort WorthAlligators are no longer just a Florida thing—Fort Worth’s wetlands are now home to 70-100 of these apex predators, and their numbers are growing. Researchers are tracking nests and hatchlings across more than 1,000 acres, finding that gators are thriving in North Texas. This isn’t just a cool wildlife story—it’s a sign our local wetlands are healthy, supporting birds, fish, and clean water for everyone. Protecting these habitats helps both wildlife and our community. What do you think about sharing our neighborhoods with alligators? Would you support more wetland conservation? #Science #FortWorth #Wildlife00Share

Turns out, it’s not just about survival—gorilla friendships last across groups, just like ours. This social savvy could even help with gorilla conservation! Who knew gorilla girl squads were this strategic? #Science #Gorillas #Wildlife222Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowStrange tentacled rabbits in Fort CollinsRabbits with bizarre, tentacle-like growths on their faces have been turning heads in Fort Collins lately. Locals first thought it might be something contagious or dangerous, but wildlife experts say it’s a virus that only affects rabbits—think of it like warts or benign tumors. There’s no cure, and the best thing to do is let these bunnies be. It’s unsettling to see, but the virus doesn’t spread to other animals or people.
