Aaron Gentry+FollowGator Claims the 19th Hole Trophy!Only in the Sunshine State! A Florida gator just made headlines by strutting across an Orlando golf course pond with a stolen club in its jaws—talk about a wild victory lap. Was it a frustrated golfer’s toss or a sneaky bag grab? Either way, this scaly ‘player’ just upped the Florida Man game. Anyone else think the gator’s got a better swing than some of us? #GolfLife #OnlyInFlorida #WildlifeWednesday #Sports10Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowDams Are Messing With Fish More Than We ThoughtDid you know dams are actually blocking fish like salmon and eels from making their epic journeys? A massive global study just revealed that these structures are shrinking fish populations and even messing with their genetics. Even those fancy fish ladders aren’t enough! The wild part? When these fish struggle, it impacts everything from local jobs to water quality. Some places are tearing down dams or getting creative with wildlife crossings. Maybe it’s time to rethink how we build around rivers! #WildlifeWednesday #EcoNews #RiverLife #Science50Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowPolar Bear Cubs’ First Steps—Caught on Cam!Ever seen polar bear cubs take their first steps into the wild? This rare footage is both adorable and super important for scientists tracking how these little fluffballs survive in the harsh Arctic. It’s not just a cute moment—each video helps researchers understand how climate change is impacting their dens and what we can do to help. Seriously, it’s a wild peek into their world and a reminder why protecting them matters! #PolarBears #WildlifeWednesday #Conservation #Science2201Share
megangibson+FollowSpotted: Ghostly Raccoon in Broad Daylight!Did you see that viral video of a pure white raccoon wandering around Houston in the middle of the day? Turns out, albino raccoons are insanely rare—like 1 in 750,000 rare! Locals were both amazed and a little worried since these animals usually hide at night and struggle to survive. If you ever spot one, don’t get too close or try to feed it—just enjoy the wild surprise and let the pros know! Nature is wild, literally. #WildlifeWednesday #AlbinoRaccoon #NatureSurprise #Science130Share
kellydesiree+FollowWild Fisher Cat Spotted in NY Yard!Did you know there’s a wild animal called a fisher cat (that’s not actually a cat) roaming around Central New York? Someone caught one on video chasing a squirrel in their backyard! These elusive, weasel-family critters are native to NY but super rare to see. They’re expert climbers, can hunt porcupines, and are getting spotted more often as their range expands. Next time you’re outside, keep your eyes peeled—you might have a wild neighbor! #WildlifeWednesday #CentralNY #FisherCat180Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowWolverine Caught on Cam—With a Secret!A trail cam in the Yukon just snapped a wolverine carrying a giant egg like it’s on a secret mission. Not only is this super rare (these creatures are basically wilderness ninjas), but experts say it could mean wolverines are making a comeback. Why care? When animals like this thrive, forests get healthier, water gets cleaner, and the whole ecosystem levels up. Who knew one gentle bite could mean so much? #WildlifeWednesday #TrailCamFinds #ConservationWin #Science50Share
martinezlaura+FollowWild Goats vs. Livestock: A Himalayan DramaDid you know the world’s largest wild goat, the Kashmir markhor, is literally being squeezed out of its home? Researchers found that when these rare goats head up the Himalayas to give birth, they’re suddenly surrounded by a flood of livestock—over 30 sheep and goats for every markhor! This overcrowding is forcing markhor moms and babies into less healthy areas, and way fewer kids are surviving. Scientists say protecting their birthing spots and managing livestock could save them—and the whole ecosystem! #WildlifeWednesday #Conservation #Himalayas #Science42Share
Michael Flores+FollowPuffins Are Ireland’s Cutest SecretDid you know Ireland’s dramatic cliffs are home to puffins—those adorable birds with rainbow beaks? These little guys dig burrows, carry fish like pros, and return to the same spot every year to raise their chicks. But climate change and overfishing are putting them at risk. Locals and scientists are teaming up to protect puffin colonies, and even tourists can help out. Puffins might look quirky, but their survival is no joke! #Puffins #WildlifeWednesday #Ireland #Science261Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowWildlife Showdown: Takahē vs. Tuatara!Imagine stumbling across a takahē and a tuatara—two of New Zealand’s rarest creatures—having a full-on face-off in the bush! That’s exactly what happened to a ranger on Tiritiri Matangi Island, and the video is wild. These ancient animals are both conservation success stories, and seeing them healthy (and feisty!) in the same spot is proof that protecting habitats really works. Who knew takahē could get so bold? Nature’s drama, caught on camera! #WildlifeWednesday #ConservationWin #NatureIsWild #Pets30Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowJaguars & Pumas Caught on Camera!Wild discovery alert: Trail cams in Guatemala’s Sierra de las Minas finally snapped proof of jaguars and pumas living way higher up in the mountains than anyone thought! These big cats had been rumored to roam there, but no one had actual footage—until now. Not only is this a huge win for conservation, but it also shows how important these secretive predators are for the ecosystem. Who knew trail cams could spill such major tea on wildlife? #WildlifeWednesday #Conservation #TrailCamFinds #Science80Share
