- On land, a polar bear, like this one caught on film by Martin Gregus Jr. (@mywildlive), moves across moss, rock, and shallow wetlands, sometimes covering vast distances while waiting for sea ice to return. Much of its movement is deliberate—pausing to rest, making day beds, or moving just a few feet in a week as it conserves energy.
- In an Austrian mountain village, a pet Swiss brown cow named Veronika uses rakes and deck brushes to reach stubborn itches, carefully controlling how she handles each tool. With years to experiment and an environment filled with objects to explore, scientists now recognize her behavior as the first documented case of tool use in cattle, raising questions about just how intelligent cows are. Learn more at the 🔗 in bio.

- In his new National Geographic series Pole to Pole, @willsmith ventured into Ecuador’s remote Tayos Cave to document its biodiversity with local guides and a team of scientists—including National Geographic Explorer and toxicologist Bryan Fry. They encountered giant tarantulas ruling an ecosystem that’s evolved in isolation from the world above for millennia. Collecting and studying these spiders' venom unveils how creatures have evolved such a wide variety of venoms, and it can help improve antivenoms and treatments. Read more about the expedition at the 🔗 in bio and watch #PoleToPole with Will Smith, now streaming on @disneyplus and @hulu.
- Rock hyraxes look like rodents, but they evolved from the same ancient ancestors as elephants. They've even got the tiny tusks to prove it.
- The North Pole may have been his final destination, but there was so much more to discover on @willsmith’s journey across the continents. #PoleToPole with Will Smith is now streaming on @disneyplus and @hulu.
- Surrounded by a sea of purple blooms in Hudson Bay, this polar bear pauses to roll, stretch, and rest in the short Arctic summer. Caught on film by Martin Gregus Jr. (@mywildlive), moments like these reveal the delicate balance between survival and softness in a life defined by endurance.
- Captured by Martin Gregus Jr. @mywildlive on a windswept Patagonian ridge, a mother guanaco pauses to let her chulengo catch up. Born incredibly capable, young guanacos must learn to stand and walk within minutes of birth to survive on the rugged terrain. This newborn may still be a little wobbly, but it will be expertly navigating the slopes in no time.
- Polar bears are powerful swimmers and patient coastal hunters, traveling long distances in search of seals. During summer, when sea ice retreats, they enter a state often called “walking hibernation,” conserving energy as they rest, roam, and scavenge. Here, a bear moves along the rocky shores of Hudson Bay at dusk, silhouetted against a pink sky. Using a drone, photographer Martin Gregus Jr. (@mywildlive) safely captured the moment from afar, following the bear well beyond the reach of camp.
- Axolotls are amphibious and adorable, but did you know they possess a trait called neoteny, which means they retain their juvenile features? Learn more about these charmingly small amphibians with these five facts at the 🔗 in bio.
- When pumas returned to Patagonia, they were greeted by new residents: Magellanic penguins. With more than 40,000 penguin breeding pairs crowding a stretch of coast, scientists report that the cats now hunt this abundant new prey much more than expected—reshaping how they move, eat, and even tolerate one another. This dynamic challenges our assumptions about what happens when large predators return to an ecosystem. Learn more about the new food web taking place in Patagonia at the 🔗 in bio.
- For emperor penguins, vocalizations and huddling aren’t cute extras—they’re vital skills that prepare chicks to stand on their own. 🐧 #SecretsOfThePenguins is streaming on @disneyplus and @hulu.
- For these cheetahs, even a successful hunt can still end in failure. #CheetahsUpClose with @bertiegregory is now streaming on @disneyplus and @hulu.
