- Have you ever seen an organism made of glass? National Geographic Explorer @ariel_waldman traveled all the way to Antarctica to recover samples of these diatoms, single-celled algae encased in silica, though they can be found around the world in a variety of shapes—and a microscope isn't the way to see them.
- One, two paws at a time, this red panda’s brightly colored fur stands out among the greenery as it moves through the branches at the Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoo in Darjeeling, India. It’s one of the few mammals that can climb down trees headfirst, using rotating hind feet, curved claws, and a bushy tail for balance.
- Here's 30 seconds of some serious cuteness overload! These wild turkey poults aren't just kicking up sand; they're helping spread seeds and boosting Zion National Park's plant diversity in the process. 🦃 National Parks USA is now streaming on @disneyplus and @hulu.
- An enduring symbol of love with illusory qualities and incredible acoustics—there's far more to the Taj Mahal than meets the eye.
- For this bobcat mother, hunting isn't just hunting—it's an opportunity to teach her kitten patience and precision. #AmericasNationalParks is streaming on @disneyplus and @hulu.
- Most of us will never see one—too faint, too fleeting—but when moonlight, water, and darkness align just right, the world reveals a quiet secret: a moonbow. #WelcomeToEarth is streaming on @disneyplus and @hulu.
- Have you ever seen an orca ram a sunfish so hard that it was smashed to bits? This incredible footage of one orca holding the fish by the tail while another rammed it was captured by marine biologist and National Geographic Explorer Katy Ayres, and it raises several questions about the purpose of this behavior. Sunfish are the heaviest bony fish on the planet, but an orca can easily kill them, leading some researchers to theorize it may be a game rather than a hunting tactic. Discover more about this unique orca behavior at the 🔗 in bio.
- Even the God of Stories can get things wrong. Fortunately, Tom Hiddleston is here to set the record straight on what really happened the day Vesuvius erupted. #PompeiiOutOfTime with Tom Hiddleston is now streaming on @disneyplus and @hulu.

- While removing abandoned fishing nets from a submerged shipwreck, divers spotted a great white shark swimming through the Mediterranean Sea in May. This video is a rare sighting of an elusive, so-called “ghost population” of great whites that call the temperate and busy waters of the Mediterranean home. While once abundant in the region, the apex predator has declined significantly over the last century due to habitat loss and commercial fishing. While the rare encounter may be a symbol of hope, much still needs to be done for the local white shark population to recover. See what scientists are uncovering about the Mediterranean's remaining great white sharks at the 🔗 in bio.
- Some sharks navigate across entire ocean basins, covering distances comparable to Earth's circumference. Hidden within their snouts is the sensory system that helps guide these extraordinary journeys. But some species are adjusting their migrations—National Geographic Explorer Arzucan Askin explains why.
- Instead of going in for the kill, this mother orca spins the sea turtle, holds it beneath the surface, and drags it by the flipper as her calf watches on. Researchers examining this new footage captured in the Gulf of California believe it may be evidence of teaching, rather than an orca simply playing with her food—especially since orca calves spend a great deal of time by their mothers' side during their infancy. Find out more about how animals share survival lessons at the 🔗 in bio.
- Time for a cuteness break. Red pandas, like this old male perched in a Himalayan whitebeam tree in northeast India, can spend up to 17 hours a day resting.
- The timespan of an iceberg is usually measured in years, not decades. A23a was different. For forty years, the world's largest iceberg endured in a changing ocean, quietly shedding itself in the background as humanity slowly began to experience the consequences of a warming world. Simultaneously remarkable and ignored, A23a only achieved fame near the end, when it arrived in open water. Suddenly accessible to both scientists and tourists, its last days were witnessed by people who marveled at its size even as it crumbled and diminished before their eyes. This surreal, surprising behemoth is mostly gone now, but the lessons it taught humanity, both scientific and intangible, remain. Discover more about the extraordinary legacy of the world's largest iceberg at the 🔗 in bio.
- Don't let their size fool you. Elephants are as graceful as they are massive. 🐘 @joelsartoreofficial has so many reasons to love elephants—what's your favorite thing about them? We’re celebrating 20 years of the National Geographic #PhotoArk, an audacious project documenting the world's incredible biodiversity and highlighting the importance of conservation through photography. Which animal do you want to see next?
- Bubbler crabs are a mini cleanup crew, maintaining the coastline by redistributing nutrients all along the beach after they've had their fill. 🦀 #InsideTheEnchantedWaterways is streaming on @disneyplus and @hulu.
- In the Arctic’s long twilight, a full moon rises as a polar bear moves across the rocks below. Photographer Martin Gregus Jr. (@mywildlive) carefully planned for this moment, working in low light when bears are often active.
- From protecting wildlife to hosting on the dance floor, Robert Irwin seizes every opportunity that comes his way. 💛 Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro premieres tonight at 8/7c on @abcnetwork. Stream next day on @disneyplus and @hulu. Watch Robert’s full Nat Geo 9 interview on National Geographic's YouTube.
- Humans kill millions of sharks each year, and overfishing poses a major threat to their populations—especially hammerheads, since they grow and reproduce slowly. These iconic creatures are already at the brink of extinction, but successful marine protection initiatives offer a glimpse of hope for the future. #HammerheadSharksUpClose with @bertiegregory is now streaming on @disneyplus and @hulu.
- Living on the steepest street in the continental United States comes with some uphill battles—from icy winter commutes to runaway trash cans. Michael Hartman, a certified first responder who has lived on Canton Avenue, in Pittsburgh's Beechview neighborhood, for five years, has been known to administer first aid to the cyclists who regularly test their mettle on the climb during an annual race. With a maximum grade of 37 percent, Canton is not the kind of street you leisurely stroll—or bike—up. In recognition of the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, we're celebrating the grandest, wildest, and strangest bits of American geography and culture across every state and territory. Explore more Wonders of America at the 🔗 in bio.
- For the first time in more than 900 years, the Bayeux Tapestry—a 225-foot-long work of medieval art depicting the Norman Conquest of England—has arrived in the U.K. Transporting one of the world's most famous and fragile antiquities meant navigating numerous practical and political hurdles and required years of planning, with conservators and engineers developing a highly specialized process to protect the tapestry. Nat Geo writer Chris Heath and photographer Zed Nelson witnessed its arrival at the British Museum in London in the early hours of July 10, marking an accomplishment that many considered impossible. Learn more about the secret mission to move the world's most famous tapestry at the 🔗 in bio.
- Built in 2013 from 450,000 board feet of lumber, Outlaw Run at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri, is the only wooden roller coaster in the U.S. to flip riders upside down three times. “Woodies,” as wooden coasters are known, lack the strength and rigidity of steel coasters, and require clever engineering for twists and spirals. An 81-degree first drop helps launch Outlaw Run through its inversions. To mark 250 years of U.S. independence, we're celebrating the grandest, wildest, and strangest bits of American geography and culture across every state and territory. Head to the 🔗 in bio to uncover more Wonders of America.
- In 2025, Kazi and 15 other cheetahs undertook a grueling 53-hour translocation from South Africa to Mozambique—the largest cheetah relocation ever attempted. Such a journey can be risky, but it's necessary to ensure the survival of a species with fewer than 7,100 individuals remaining worldwide, both in the wild and in captivity. After navigating bureaucracy, torrential rain, and a car crash, the effort has proven initially successful one year on, with Kazi giving birth to these three cubs. Following the journey of the largest cheetah relocation attempted at the 🔗 in bio.
