Sandra Escobar+FollowYellowstone’s Surprising ‘Howl Ban’Did you know you can get fined $100 for howling at wolves in Yellowstone? Turns out, park officials want to keep things chill for the wolves, who get seriously freaked out by human noises. Wolves use howls to communicate with their pack, so your best Big Bad Wolf impression could actually stress them out. Next time you hear the wild chorus, just listen and let nature do its thing—no howling back! #News #Yellowstone #WildlifeProtection00Share
Tanya Jackson+FollowWildlife in Danger: Glue Traps Still Out ThereDid you know glue traps are now illegal for public use in the UK, but stores are still selling them? Experts are sounding the alarm after a robin died stuck to one of these traps—just one of many unintended victims. Even if rescued, birds can’t survive in the wild after being caught. Wildlife centers are begging stores to pull these traps from shelves. Shouldn’t we be protecting our wildlife, not endangering it? #Pets #WildlifeProtection #AnimalWelfare10Share
Tanya Jackson+FollowWhy running is off-limits at Finley RefugeFinley Wildlife Refuge might look like the perfect spot for a jog, but running is actually off-limits here—and for good reason. Quick movements like jogging can scare nesting birds and other wildlife, making them feel threatened and disrupting their routines. Many locals shared that the refuge’s main goal is to protect animals, not provide recreation, so rules are strict: hiking is okay, but leave your running shoes (and pets) at home. It’s all about giving wildlife a peaceful place to thrive. Do you think these rules strike the right balance, or should there be more room for recreation? #Pets #FinleyRefuge #WildlifeProtection10Share
James Brady+FollowWildlife Sanctuaries Hit by Plastic CrisisDid you know tiny plastic pellets called nurdles are invading even our most protected wildlife sanctuaries? Researchers found these microplastics in 84% of the UK’s special nature sites—yep, the places meant to be safe from pollution. Animals are eating them, and they’re ending up in our food chain too. It’s wild (and not in a good way). Cutting back on single-use plastics and being smarter about recycling can actually help! #Science #PlasticPollution #WildlifeProtection00Share
