Trapdoor spiders construct silk-lined tunnels that are hidden beneath camouflaged, hinged lids.

Gomo, a Black Rhino protected for 22 YEARS, slaughtered in just 15 MINUTES! 😡
 
Within just 15 minutes, poachers had breached an electrified fence, shot Gomo – whose name means ‘Mountain' in the Shona language – and hacked off both his horns at the base with an axe.

They then escaped with the horns and left his still-warm carcass for devastated rangers to find.

#SouthAfrican #rhino horns turned radioactive to fight #poachers! Good to see the international press reporting on the launch of the #rhisotopeproject - here's to a brighter future for our precious #Rhinos! #StopRhinoPoaching https://t.co/hdxWLjFAr2

Protect Amboseli #Elephants! please s/s this petition to help ban trophy #hunt imports into the #US. The #US is the primary importer of #Tanzanian #elephant trophies. And at least one of the 5 male #elephants recently lost was killed by a #Texas #hunter!

#RhinoFriday
Joy, personified — a baby #rhino doing zoomies like the world is safe. But it’s not. Not yet. The #RhisotopeProject could change that — making #poaching riskier & justice more likely. Let’s fight for a world where #rhino calves grow up whole!

@desertorchid777 @XposeTrophyHunt Absolutely horrific news!!! Heartbreaking also

@XposeTrophyHunt Zoos can be awful, awful, awful places. I will never forget the young giraffe that was killed, dissected and fed to the lions...just because he wasn't suitable for breeding...https://t.co/PVpK07aqs9

A German zoo faces a backlash after killing 12 healthy baboons, because of overcrowding & other options didn’t work. The Tiergarten Nürnberg Zoo said it killed 12 baboons on Tuesday despite protests. Disgusting! 😢

@fourpawsint He was magnificent… huge loss… devastated here❤️❤️

It is heartbreaking to say farewell to our beloved lion, Simba! 🦁🌈 

A resident of LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary since 2018, this gentle soul has left us far too soon!  

Despite the treatment, he didn't get any better and we had to let him go.

Such an ugly woman..inside and out ugly

#Extinction

Another rarity: the elegant bottlenose wedgefish.

Now critically endangered with a precipitous decline exceeding 80% across most of its range in just 3 generations.

Their fins are highly prized, so their future looks increasingly bleak.

#Birds
He's torn his feathers to shreds for 20 years.
Vets will give a long list of reasons - except the real one - wild birds belong in the wild.
Highly intelligent, they can fly 10 miles in a day with a rich social life.
When you buy exotic pets, you buy their lifelong misery.
