Ever heard of 'river piracy'? No, didn't think so.

However, between May 25-29th 2016 the Slims River stopped flowing out of the Kaskawulsh Glacier in Yukon to the Bering Sea, and instead completely diverted to the Pacific Ocean, saving it a huge journey across Alaska.

Why?

"In some parts of the state, motor vehicles kill as many mule deer as hunters do."

Glad to see this @dailycamera column on why hunters should care about wildlife crossings, and the need for permanent funding for safe passage in Colorado. #roadecology

Day 4 brings us one cat you just can’t get MAD at for getting into your #Fishmas tree - the stonecat madtom (Noturus flavus)! 🎄🐈

The stonecat is one of ~30 species of tiny catfishes called madtoms found throughout eastern and central North America #25DaysofFishmas

Why is Savannah the only acceptable biome name to give a person? Where are all the kids named Palustrine Wetlands?? Xeric shrubland?? smh

With strong angler desire for nonnative piscivorous species, but few native sport fish, sterile fish are being explored as a lower-risk management option. This simulation study explores key biological processes and potential risks of triploid sport fishes. https://t.co/aBfrghWl4v

A super-duper, amazingly lucky trail camera capture: we finally caught a wolf hunting a beaver on video!!! Check it out! We cannot overstate how rare such observations are. Of course, you might think we are exaggerating here so let us explain…

On my trip to Portugal I visited the Parque Nacional Peneda-Gerês and it was truly an amazing experience. Despite it being mostly overcast and drizzling I managed to see some lizards! Can you #FindThatLizard, the Bocage’s wall lizard?! LMK with #FoundThatLizard reveal @ 10 PST!

An invisible barrier runs through the entire Malay archipelago. On the western side: rhinos, elephants & tigers. On the eastern side: a totally different cast of characters.
How did this invisible line come to be? Watch our new video to find out! https://t.co/LW8uCXkbmd

"Uncharismatic" species like snot otters don't get much public love. A bipartisan bill from @MartinHeinrich @SenThomTillis could change that and help entire ecosystems. w/ @dino_grandoni https://t.co/zcs3b4YXLC

Happy #WorldFrogDay! Can you believe this frog is ~40 million years old? In 1873 the French naturalist Henri Filhol described this fossil frog discovered from the Quercy Phosphorites of southwestern France. The specimen preserved the frog's soft tissues as an external cast. (1/3)
