The southern right whale is one of the most majestic creatures of the ocean, known for its immense size and distinctive callosities on its head. Found in the Southern Hemisphere, these gentle giants migrate to warmer waters for breeding and cooler regions for feeding. They primarily feed on krill and copepods, using their baleen plates to filter vast amounts of food. Unlike other whales, they are known to be quite curious, often approaching boats, making them a favorite among whale watchers. 🐋🌊
They can live for over 70 years and are often spotted in regions like Argentina, South Africa, and Australia during breeding season. Their acrobatic displays, such as breaching and tail-slapping, are truly a sight to behold! 🐳✨

The indri is known for its black-and-white fur and loud, eerie calls that carry for kilometers through the rainforest, helping them communicate with each other.
They are remarkable leapers, covering up to 10 meters between trees. Unlike most primates, the indri lacks a long tail and instead relies on powerful hind legs to move through the forest.
As Madagascar’s largest lemur, the indri faces threats from habitat loss and hunting, making it an endangered species.

There’s nothing more adorable and entertaining than watching baby elephants!
This little boy was especially playful, darting after birds on the road and playfully chasing other herd members, still figuring out what to do with his big ears, trunk, and tail.

Adorable polar bear cubs have fun in the snow. They usually live with their mothers for 28 months or so until they learn the survival skills needed in such a cold climate. They are protected by their mothers in a fierce and aggressive manner, without any help from the male.

Nature’s classroom is always in session! 🐾🪶
Hooded vultures are no pushovers, and this bold bird made sure these playful pups learned that lesson the hard way. Perched atop a termite mound, the vulture held its ground as the mischievous pups approached with a mix of fascination and hesitation. A fun moment in the wild, and a reminder that even the smallest scavengers can command respect.

This jaguarundi was observed in Bolivia as it emerged from dense vegetation, providing a rare opportunity to photograph it up close.
Jaguarundis are among Latin America’s most elusive wild cats. They are medium-sized and solitary, with a wide range across the region, but their shy nature makes sightings uncommon.

Bush babies—often called galagos—are already incredibly cute as adults, but their babies take the charm to a whole new level. One of the coolest things about these little furballs is how quickly they develop serious grip strength. Almost from day one, they can cling to branches or their mom’s fur, which is super handy when they’re out and about on nighttime foraging trips.
However, the babies don’t always go everywhere with mom. More often than not, she’ll leave them tucked away in a cozy leaf nest or hiding spot while she hunts for food.

The Black-breasted buzzard uses its instinctual behaviour to crack and get into Emu eggs when they come across an unprotected nest.
Since the eggs are too tough to break with their feet and beaks alone, they use small rocks which they throw at the eggs.
Once the eggs are cracked, they can indulge in a protein-packed meal!

Great news from the nest! 🦅
Jackie and Shadow, two of the most famous bald eagles in the world, have returned to their nest in San Bernardino National Forest after a fireworks scare. The elegant eagles were startled during New Year’s celebrations. Jackie returned to the nest first, carrying a stick with her, calling out loudly to her mate to let him know where she was.
“Even though eagles see very well in the day, they do not see well at night, so it can be dangerous for them to be flying around at night, especially in the panic of a crisis moment,” wrote the Friends of Big Bear Valley and Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam. “It’s great to have them back and know they are safe after they flew off their roost tree in the middle of New Year’s eve night.”
Jackie and Shadow have become internet celebrities thanks to their ongoing love story and their fierce dedication to their eggs, especially through extreme weather including intense snowstorms. 2022 was the parents’ most recent success story, with “Spirit” successfully leaving the nest in May of that year.
Their saga is shared from a 24/7 webstream of their nest in California’s Big Bear Valley. The live feed is enabled by a camera installed 120 feet above the forest floor, captivating thousands of fans around the world.
