Just wanted to get this out there because I've started writing it--when I'm not focusing on other stories--I'll be updating it whenever I get the chance. Feel free to check it out and let me know your thoughts on the current chapters.

In April 2025, Colossal announced their “red wolf” conservation plan, which involved cloning a population of coyotes from the Gulf Coast with some red wolf ancestry. You can find a great summary here: https://t.co/Q61Xl9HYGi
New Resident Alert!
Welcome Dexter, Hannibal, and Bates to San Antonio Zoo!
This trio of bush dogs has officially made themselves at home, and while they may be small, these South American canines are full of personality. Bush dogs are one of the world’s rarest wild dog species and live in close-knit family groups, relying on teamwork and cooperation to thrive.
You can find Dexter, Hannibal, and Bates in Wild Australia, right next to the Sumatran tiger habitat. Stop by and say hello to our newest residents!

This is why scientists changed the name from global warming to climate change for you dumb idiots. Both warming and cooling will occur. Total chaos and collapse will ensue. End of days literally and all but confirmed.
In the early 2000s, a colony of little penguins living on Middle Island near Warrnambool, Australia, was on the verge of disappearing.
Foxes had discovered they could reach the island during low tide, and repeated attacks devastated the population.
What had once been a thriving colony of more than 500 penguins was reduced to fewer than 10 breeding pairs by 2005.
Faced with the possible loss of the colony, conservationists turned to an unusual solution. In 2006, specially trained Maremma Sheepdogs were introduced to guard the island.
Traditionally used in Italy to protect livestock from predators, the dogs were adapted for a new role: protecting penguins.
The first guardian dogs, Eudy and Tula, were placed on the island during the breeding season. Their presence was enough to deter foxes from approaching the colony, dramatically reducing predation.
Over the following years, the penguin population began to recover, growing from the brink of extinction to well over 100 birds, with some surveys later recording around 180 to 200 penguins.
The project became one of the world's most celebrated conservation success stories. For more than a decade, fox attacks were effectively prevented while the dogs were on duty.
Their importance became especially clear in 2017 when penguins arrived earlier than expected and before the guardian dogs had returned to the island. During that period, foxes killed around 70 penguins in a single attack event.
Once the dogs were reinstated, the attacks stopped again.
Today, the Middle Island Maremma Project is recognized internationally as a pioneering example of using livestock guardian dogs to protect endangered wildlife.
The remarkable story inspired the 2015 Australian film "Oddball" and demonstrated how a simple, creative idea helped save an entire penguin colony from disappearing forever.
Greg Baldwin, the voice of Uncle Iroh in ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender,’ criticizes Paramount and Nickelodeon over the state of the franchise:
“Paramount doesn’t care about ATLA. The new regime at Paramount is straight up evil.”
On Thursday, we asked our community to stand with Nashville Zoo in protecting the animals, habitats and future of the Zoo from a proposed data center next door.
Please keep sharing and contact your local representatives ➡️ https://t.co/q2ISQnxLBK
genuine question, why does a train line or a new park have to go thru years of votes and environmental impact studies but something like this can just? happen?
we have proof how negatively AI data centers impact the immediate surrounding areas. water gets contaminated, temperatures raise anywhere from 10-20F, the light & noise pollution has made people up and leave their homes …. what happens to the animals who can’t leave?
