Perdonad mi opinión de extrema izquierda, pero pienso que la policía no debería partirle la nariz a una profesora jubilada de 68 años y 50 kg de un empujón mientras reclama mejoras laborales para educar mejor a tus hijos.

Orcas are a matriarchal species and are the apex predators of the oceans. Bees are a matriarchal species and are the primary pollinators of the entire world. Elephants are a matriarchal species and foster forest growth. Notice anything?

This is what happens when we prioritize publicity bullshit rescues instead of actually changing the conditions that are killing whales

We "rescued" him after days of struggle into one of the world's busiest shipping corridors of course he died!

If monarch butterflies when extinct there would be a major collapse in insect biodiversity resulting in multiple ecosystems being disrupted which affects ALL species, including humans. Monarch butterflies are pollinators and help supply environments with clean air and maintain healthy habitats. They are an important part of our food ecosystem.

Not to mention they are also very culturally significant to Mexico and represent the souls of departed loved ones during the Day of the Dead festival. Their migration starts the holiday when they return to Día de Muertos. They are environmentally and culturally extremely significant for North America.

With the wave of data centers being built that are going to destroy so much nature and cause so much pollution, I couldn’t think of a better time to protect these species.

Today is Endangered Species Day. The Trump administration has rolled back protections for:

—Wolverines
—Sea turtles
—Monarch butterflies
—Bison
—Polar bears
—Rice's whales
—Alligator snapping turtles
—Saltmarsh sparrows
—Florida panthers

pigeons were bred to work as mail carriers for humans, then discarded, abandoned, and left to fend for themselves in hostile environments when machines replaced them and they were deemed no longer necessary. I will not tolerate this historically inaccurate pigeon slander.

Orcas eat great white sharks. They hunt seals, dolphins, and baby whales. They have never killed a single human in the open ocean. Not once, in all of recorded history.

An orca's brain weighs up to 15 pounds. Yours weighs about 3. They have roughly double the brain cells we do in the regions that handle complex thought. A neuroscientist at Emory named Lori Marino put an orca brain in an MRI and found these animals can tell different species apart underwater. They do it by sending out clicks that bounce off everything around them and come back as a kind of 3D sound map (this is called echolocation). From 500 feet away, an orca knows you're a human and not a seal. It skips you on purpose.

The answer is culture. Orcas around the world are divided into at least 10 separate populations, each with its own food rules, its own language, and its own way of hunting. All of it learned from their mothers. One population eats only fish. Another eats only marine mammals like seals and sea lions. These two populations can live in the exact same water and never swap a single meal. A baby orca learns what food is from its mother, and that list stays the same for life.

In the Pacific Northwest, one population called the Southern Residents eats almost nothing but Chinook salmon. Scientists have documented them killing harbor porpoises 78 times over six decades, carrying the dead porpoises in their mouths, and never once eating them. Even when the group was starving. A 2023 study in Marine Mammal Science looked at all 78 cases and concluded it was play. These orcas would rather go hungry than eat something their culture says isn't food.

Researchers studying whale behavior in 2001 found that orca cultural traditions "appear to have no parallel outside humans." Each family group has its own dialect, its own version of the language. Calves spend about two years just learning how to make all the sounds their family uses. Mothers will slow down a hunt on purpose so their young can watch.

In 2005, a 12-year-old kid was swimming in Helm Bay, Alaska when an orca came at him full speed. At the very last second, the orca seemed to realize it was charging a human. It bent its entire body in half and turned back to open water. In captivity, it goes differently. SeaWorld's Tilikum killed three people during his life in a concrete tank. Research from 2016, published in the journal Animals, traced it to psychological collapse from being locked away from the family bonds orcas need to stay stable.

I think calling this a "mystery" undersells the science. Orcas decide what to eat based on culture, not instinct. No orca mother has ever taught her calf to hunt humans, so no orca hunts humans. Only about 75 of those salmon-eating Southern Residents are still alive. Their pregnancy failure rate is 69% because we've destroyed their salmon runs. They won't break their food culture to survive. Whether we care enough to protect theirs is the part that actually matters.

It's also a planet where sea turtle babies communicate with each other from INSIDE their shells to coordinate a synchronized exit.

Hatching as a group makes it safer for the little ones on their journey to the water.

[GO GREEN @ECOWARRIORSS]

Such awesome beautiful birds that should be cherished not hunted down and killed and pushed back to extinction
And I am sorry to tell you EU is joining Trump in targeting and mass killing of these birds just because they eat some fish to survive

[Elliot @elliot_solution]

The actual study tested 85 sharks.

ONE had cocaine in its blood. The scientists think it bit a drug trafficking package, not a tourist’s party residue.

They found out that most sharks tested positive for caffeine and painkillers from sewage runoff.

OUR wastewater is quietly poisoning marine life in waters we think are pristine.

"es el menor de los problemas" y se trata de una tía que lleva años activamente destruyendo los derechos trans en el reino unido podeis ser 1 poco más serios

[amelia @himelilies]

india just passed an anti trans bill, trans people were banned from the olympics, and a black trans woman was just murdered in the united states and people somehow care more about promoting their wizard show that is directly funding transphobes to kill us and take our rights away
