Timothy Gould+FollowGiant Turtle on the Loose in Korea?!A massive snapping turtle (yep, the invasive kind!) was accidentally set free in a Korean park after officials thought it was a local escapee. Now, they’re scrambling to recapture it before it wreaks havoc on the ecosystem. Turns out, these turtles can outcompete native species and even spread diseases. The wild part? This all happened because of a mix-up—so now the city’s changing its animal control rules to avoid another oops. Wild, right? #InvasiveSpecies #WildlifeNews #EcoAlert221Share
Jamie Watson+FollowLA Elephants Moved at 1AM—But Why?Billy and Tina, LA Zoo’s last elephants, were secretly shipped off to Tulsa Zoo in the middle of the night—literally at 1:30AM! Animal advocates are fuming, saying these aging elephants deserve a peaceful sanctuary with way more space, not another zoo. The LA Zoo claims Tulsa is best for their social needs, but activists aren’t buying it and are still fighting for a true retirement. What do you think—sanctuary or zoo? #Elephants #AnimalWelfare #ZooDebate #SanctuaryNow #WildlifeNews #Travel00Share
Jonathan Clarke+FollowMonster Carp Breaks Record—Again!Bryan Baker just reeled in a jaw-dropping 118-pound bighead carp in Oklahoma—smashing his own state record! This beast is so massive it might even be a world record, but there’s a twist: since he snagged it (not hooked), it can’t be official. Wild, right? These carp are invasive and gobble up all the plankton, so catching them is actually helping the ecosystem. But using sonar to find them has its own drama. Would you go after these monster fish? #FishingLife #RecordCatch #InvasiveSpecies #WildlifeNews #EcoTalk #Finance30Share
Tamara Jones+FollowRare Shark Spotted at Ipanema Beach?!A shortfin mako shark just made a surprise appearance off Rio’s Ipanema Beach—first time ever! A diving instructor caught it on camera, and experts are totally shook. These sharks are usually super hard to spot, and guided dives to see them can cost over $1,000. While there’s debate about their endangered status, researchers say their genetic diversity is still strong. Wild to think such a rare animal popped up right by a major city! Would you swim there now? #SharkSighting #IpanemaBeach #WildlifeNews #OceanLife #RioDeJaneiro #Science211Share
