fell in a river with my camera but managed to save it somehow. not one of my finest moments tbh but it did make it into my top 3 worst falls i’ve taken so that’s something

With just 16 Red Wolves known to remain in the wild, this could be the last one you see 🐺

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are β€œbad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

I frequent my local zoo a lot and whilst standing around i’ve found that it’s the best place to see kestrels!! i guess they know there’s a lot of mice around #birds #birdwatching #birdsuk

One male polar bear crouches and pushes his front paws into the chest of another bear who is looming at full height over top of him. Another bear is resting in the willows just behind them and to the right.

The polar bear on the left crouches and opens his mouth wide to his opponent at they both stand on their hind legs, holding each others' front paws like they are dancing.

Two polar bears clash in a dense willow stand. The one on the left has his back to the camera as he tries to bite his opponent's shoulder. The left bear has his mouth wide open to the left bear's cheek.

Like nine-foot-tall sumo wrestlers, these polar bears know how to throw their weight around. These are the males we watched a couple of weeks ago sparring in the willows near Hudson Bay. It's mostly play-fighting this time of year as they wait for the ice to freeze so they can go hunt seals. 🌿🦊 πŸ»β€β„οΈ

It was a windy day at the beach on sunday but seeing the gulls playing drop catch made it worth getting all that sand in my eyes
