I spy... killer whales! 👀 Also called orcas, these cetaceans are performing a behavior called spyhopping. They pose vertically in the water, and pop up far enough to peep their next meal.

Alum Christina Koch (@Astro_Christina) will make history once again when she becomes the first woman to fly to and around the moon. 🌕👩‍🚀

“I’m happy to go to the moon carrying the NC State electrical engineering and physics banner,” Koch said. https://t.co/82QnUoIpg0 #ThinkAndDo

Sea lion playing with a Christmas iguana’s tail on Española island in the Galápagos! Unfortunately, Mr. Iguana did not find this as fun as the sea lion did. 🤣😂

A 'ray of hope'? Over 40 years ago 'common skate' were considered to have been extirpated in the Irish Sea in a famous @Nature paper. A recent capture in Welsh waters 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 might be a sign things are changing. Read here: https://t.co/ASB4jwyYhw @WhySharksMatter @sos_bangor_uni

She's ba-ack! Spotted in her preferred nesting territory on 3/28/2023 is "AL" as she returns for her 15th year nesting in the park. Last year she lost all three of her nests to storms and predation. Let's hope she has better luck this year. Welcome back AL!

Anna Kussler is a field biologist who follows cheetahs from her motorbike in Zambia! 🐆

Hear the inspiring story of cheetah 784, who was orphaned after poachers killed her mom, but persevered — against the odds. Listen to Wild Animals w/ Dr. @RolandKays: https://t.co/sMBOCw3p5o

Sometimes you just have to take a step back and remember that nature is so beautiful. Galápagos green turtle spotted off the coast of San Cristóbal Island in the Galápagos.

While snorkeling today I took this video of a marine iguana swimming. Did you know they are the only lizards that can swim and dive! Bucket list item checked off ✔️

Deployment of #gillnet deterrent structures in the Zero Tolerance Area in the Gulf of California appears to have contributed to a reduction in gillnetting and an increase in the rate of #vaquita acoustic encounters. Positive news!

This Diver rescues a fish trapped in plastic.

Countless marine animals get trapped in plastic waste we discard. Even the smallest plastic packaging is deadly underwater.

It's time to end plastic pollution.
