Gorilla BFFs Reunite After Years Apart

Turns out, mountain gorillas are just like us when it comes to old friends! New research from Rwanda shows that female gorillas will actually seek out their childhood pals—even after years apart and moving to new groups. These bonds are so strong, they’ll pick a group just to be with a familiar face. Scientists say these friendships are way more important in gorilla society than anyone thought. Who knew gorilla girl squads were a thing? #Science #Gorillas #Wildlife

Zoo Wants Your Unwanted Pets (For Real)

A Danish zoo is asking people to donate their unwanted chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs—not for adoption, but to feed their predators! Aalborg Zoo says it helps mimic the natural food chain and keeps their lynxes and tigers happy and healthy. Even horses can be donated (with a pet passport, of course). It’s wild, but apparently, it’s a common thing in Denmark. Would you ever donate a pet to a zoo like this? #Pets #ZooNews #Wildlife

Adorable baby owl surprises West Roxbury

A baby owl made an unexpected appearance right on Centre Street in West Roxbury, catching the attention of neighbors and passersby. It’s not every day you see wildlife up close in the city! If you spot an owlet like this, experts say it’s best to admire from a distance—don’t try to pick it up. If the little one looks hurt, call animal control for help. Have you ever seen wild animals in your neighborhood? Let’s share our stories and tips for keeping both animals and people safe! #Science #WestRoxbury #Wildlife

Wildlife Plot Twist in the Arctic!

Imagine seeing a yellow warbler and a brown bat chilling in the Canadian tundra—locals in Nunavut are snapping pics of these out-of-place animals, and it’s got everyone talking. Turns out, climate change is making the region more hospitable for creatures that usually stay way further south. It’s a real-life nature plot twist, and scientists say it’s a sign the environment is shifting fast. Would you freak out or grab your camera? #Science #ClimateChange #Wildlife

Giant Rat Alert: Cat-Sized Rodents Invade!

Imagine finding a rat in your house that’s almost as big as your cat! That’s what happened to a family in North Yorkshire, where exterminators discovered a 22-inch-long rat chilling in a plastic bag. Local officials say this isn’t a one-off—these monster rats are popping up everywhere, and the infestation is only getting worse. The call is out for more funding and action before things get even more out of control. Would you freak out if you saw one of these? #Pets #ratinfestation #wildlife

Crocodile Farm Horror Story

Imagine living near a farm where crocodiles kept escaping—and then turning on each other! That’s what happened in the West Bank, where dozens of neglected crocs were left in such bad shape they started cannibalizing each other. Authorities finally stepped in and euthanized them, saying it was the only way to protect locals and stop the animal abuse. Wild, right? This place was supposed to be a tourist spot, but it turned into a total nightmare. #Pets #wildlife #animalwelfare

Tiny Penguins, Big Drama Caught on Camera

Who knew penguins could be this wild? Researchers in Australia set up secret cameras and caught little blue penguins fighting, flirting, and even parenting in hilarious ways. But here’s the sad part: these adorable birds are disappearing fast, mostly because humans can’t stop invading their turf. There used to be 1,600 of them—now just 30! If you ever visit, maybe give these tiny drama queens some space. They need it! #Science #Penguins #Wildlife

Rare Deer Spotted in Patagonia!

Did you see this? Researchers just caught never-before-seen footage of a super rare group of huemul deer in Patagonia! With only about 1,000 left in Chile, this new herd gives hope that the species could bounce back. The footage proves there might be more hidden groups out there, and now scientists are using trail cams to keep tabs. Every animal matters for our planet’s balance—how cool is it that we’re still discovering new wildlife? #Science #Patagonia #Wildlife

Wildlife on the move in Lincoln County

A bobcat getting stuck in a car grill in Lincoln County is just the latest sign of how local wildlife is being pushed closer to our neighborhoods. With new homes and businesses popping up, animals like bobcats are losing their natural spaces and ending up in unexpected—and sometimes dangerous—places. Wildlife centers are seeing a huge spike in calls, especially about fawns and other displaced animals. It’s a tough reminder that as our community grows, we’re sharing more space with nature. How do you think we can better coexist with local wildlife? #Pets #LincolnCounty #Wildlife

Colorado’s wolf pups spark hope for nature

Three playful wolf pups caught on trail cameras in Routt County mark a huge step for Colorado’s wild side. After nearly 80 years without wolves, these new packs are more than just adorable—they’re proof that the state’s reintroduction plan is working. Wolves help keep ecosystems balanced, letting plants and other animals thrive. But it’s not all smooth: ranchers are worried about livestock, and the debate is far from over. Still, seeing these pups in action is a reminder of how nature can bounce back. How do you feel about wolves making a comeback in Colorado? #Entertainment #Colorado #Wildlife
