kerryrivera+FollowTree Grows Through Plastic Jug—Ouch!Saw this wild TikTok where a tree literally grew through a plastic milk jug tossed in the woods. It’s both amazing and super sad—nature’s tough, but our trash is everywhere. Over 400 million tons of plastic waste gets dumped every year (and it’s only getting worse). Trees can adapt, but they shouldn’t have to fight our litter. Let’s do better and ditch the plastic when we can! #plasticpollution #nature #dontlitter #Safety40Share
Michelle York+FollowHawaiʻi’s Forests Are Now 'Freakosystems'Did you know entire forests in Hawaiʻi have flipped from native paradise to wild mashups of cinnamon, guava, and birds from all over the world? Scientists are calling these new, self-sustaining 'novel ecosystems'—and they’re both fascinating and kinda terrifying. Native plants and animals are vanishing, and traditional conservation isn’t cutting it. Now, researchers are using bird calls and tech tricks to try and save what’s left. Would you try rewilding your yard to help? #Hawaii #Ecosystem #Conservation #InvasiveSpecies #Nature #Science00Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowBaking Cookies, Met a Bear?!Imagine baking cookies and looking up to see a black bear staring at you through your kitchen window! That’s exactly what happened to Madison Dalton in Virginia. She was just minding her own business when a bear, lured by her bird feeder, showed up for a snack. Her dog’s barking scared it off, but wildlife experts say bear visits are getting more common as animals search for food. Pro tip: secure your trash and bring in those bird feeders! #BearEncounter #Wildlife #HomeSafety #Nature #ViralStory #Science00Share
William Mckinney+FollowFox Cub Rescue Drama Near Construction SiteImagine hearing desperate cries and finding a baby fox tangled in construction netting! That’s what happened in Oxfordshire, and the little guy (now called Boots because of his one white paw) was seriously stuck and calling for help so much he got a sore throat. Thanks to a quick-thinking neighbor and a wildlife rescue team, Boots is now safe and healing. PSA: If you ever find a wild animal trapped, call the pros—don’t try to cut them free yourself! #WildlifeRescue #FeelGoodStory #CommunityHeroes #AnimalRescue #Nature #Pets10Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowAncient ‘Dinosaur Fish’ Caught on Camera!Scientists just snapped the first-ever pics of a living west Indian Ocean coelacanth—aka the ‘dinosaur fish’—in its deep-sea home. This fish was legit thought to be extinct until not too long ago, and even after its rediscovery, nobody had actually seen a live adult in the wild. Now, thanks to some deep-diving explorers, we get a rare look at this 400-million-year-old survivor. Check out the wild photos and imagine what else could be lurking down there! #ScienceNews #DinosaurFish #Coelacanth #WildlifeDiscovery #Nature #Science61Share
megangibson+FollowVolcano Erupts Underwater—Scientists Stunned!Imagine cruising in a sub, expecting to see some cool sea creatures, and BAM—you stumble on a live underwater volcanic eruption! That’s exactly what happened to a team off Costa Rica. One day, the ocean floor was full of life; the next, it was a barren wasteland, with molten lava lighting up the deep. Only the third time this has ever been caught on camera! Wild, right? Nature is next-level unpredictable. #Volcano #OceanExploration #Science #Nature #EpicDiscovery827265Share
