martinezlaura+FollowCharleston’s hidden shark tooth goldmineCharleston’s waterways are packed with ancient shark teeth and fossils, making local beaches and rivers a real-life treasure hunt for anyone willing to look. Folks like Grant Martin have turned this passion into a lifestyle, diving and scouring for everything from megalodon teeth to centuries-old bottles. But it’s not just about collecting—these finds often become unique jewelry or art, connecting us to the city’s deep history. South Carolina even has special rules for hobbyists, so if you’re thinking of joining in, remember to respect the environment and leave some treasures for others. Have you ever found something amazing on a Charleston beach? #Science #Charleston #SharkTeeth00Share
Michael Flores+FollowThere’s a Giant Ocean Hole Full of Wild VirusesScientists just found a massive sinkhole under the South China Sea that’s basically a vault for microscopic life—and it’s packed with 1,700 mysterious viruses, most of which are totally new to science. Instead of just being “bad guys,” these viruses might actually be secret engineers of the ocean, shaping ecosystems and even the climate. It’s like a real-life sci-fi lab at the bottom of the sea, and we’re only just starting to crack the code! #Science #OceanMysteries #ScienceNews00Share
Melvin Mosley+Follow10-Foot Wingspan Birds Are Back!Imagine looking up and seeing a bird with a 10-foot wingspan gliding over the Patagonian mountains—no, it’s not a pterodactyl, it’s the Andean condor making a wild comeback! Thanks to local heroes and scientists, these massive, ancient birds are soaring again after years of rehab. They’re not just wildlife—they’re living fossils, cleaning up the land and wowing everyone lucky enough to spot them. Patagonia’s skies just got way more epic. #Science #AndeanCondor #Patagonia70Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowLionfish Are Taking Over the Med!Did you know lionfish are basically throwing a wild breeding party in the Mediterranean? Thanks to warmer waters, these spiky invaders are outcompeting local fish, spawning for most of the year while native species get just a few months. Scientists are worried this could wreck local fisheries and biodiversity. Some folks are fighting back by eating them (lionfish tacos, anyone?), but experts say we need bigger solutions. Would you try lionfish if it helped the ocean? #Science #LionfishInvasion #Mediterranean30Share
martinezlaura+FollowPine Bark Is the New Water Filter HackTurns out, pine bark isn’t just for forests—Finnish researchers have figured out how to use iron-modified pine bark to remove over 90% of blood pressure meds and painkillers from wastewater. It’s cheap, eco-friendly, and even magnetic, so it’s easy to pull out after cleaning. This could be a total game-changer for keeping our rivers and lakes free from pharmaceutical pollution. Who knew tree bark could help fight superbugs? #Science #WaterInnovation #EcoFriendly10Share
Tamara Jones+FollowLion Chills at Sacred Site—Wild!Imagine climbing a holy hill and spotting a lion just strolling by like it owns the place. That’s what happened in India, where a wild Asiatic lion casually walked past pilgrims at a major Jain site—caught on video, of course. Experts say it’s a sign: as we build more, animals are losing their space and popping up in unexpected places. Kinda cool, kinda scary, and definitely a wake-up call for how we share our world! #Science #WildlifeEncounters #ViralVideo00Share
Tamara Jones+FollowRussian Rivers Are Making Arctic Clouds?!Get this: scientists just found out that rivers in Russia are basically cloud factories for the Arctic! All the organic stuff—like soil and leaves—gets washed into the ocean, releases gases, and those turn into aerosols that help form clouds. These clouds are brighter, last longer, and even cool the region down. It’s a wild new twist in the climate change story, and could totally change how we predict the Arctic’s future. Who knew river runoff could be this powerful? #Science #Arctic #ClimateScience00Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowCoyotes getting bolder in SummerlinCoyotes are getting so bold in Summerlin that they’re jumping fences and stalking pets in broad daylight. Neighbors near Lake Mead and Rampart are sharing stories of close calls—one even caught a coyote attacking his dog on camera. What’s wild is that old tricks like whistles and banging pans don’t scare them off anymore. The HOA rules make it tough to raise fences high enough to keep them out, and wildlife experts say removing coyotes isn’t a real fix. How are you keeping your pets safe, and what should the community do next? #Science #Summerlin #Coyotes00Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowMassive great white shark reeled in at Pensacola BeachA 1,000-pound great white shark was caught and released right off Pensacola Beach—making it the fourth great white in four years for the Coastal Worldwide crew. Imagine reeling in a 12-foot apex predator during a 48-hour beach fishing trip! The team snapped a few photos and quickly released the shark back into the Gulf, showing just how healthy our local waters are. It’s wild to think these legendary creatures are cruising so close to home. Would you swim or fish knowing great whites are out there? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Science #PensacolaBeach #GreatWhiteShark01Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowSpace Junk’s Sonic Booms Tracked by Earthquake SensorsTurns out, earthquake sensors aren’t just for earthquakes anymore! Scientists just used them to catch the sonic booms from a massive chunk of space junk reentering over California. These sensors picked up the wild sounds as the Shenzhou-15 module burned up, helping researchers track its speed, altitude, and even how it broke apart. With over a million pieces of space debris up there, this could be a game-changer for keeping tabs on falling junk! #Science #SpaceJunk #EarthquakeSensors00Share
