Trump’s proposal to escalate offshore drilling could lead to 4,232 oil spills, dumping 12.1 million gallons of oil into ocean waters.
That could harm countless species — from Kemp’s ridley sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico to Cook Inlet belugas off Alaska.

If you don’t see an animal right away, they may be resting in a fav. spot, like otter Harry enjoying a cozy nap in his tube. It's important that animals have choices of where they spend time.
If you can't see an animal - take a moment to look around, ask staff, or check back later.

We are celebrating both of our Aldabra tortoises 11th birthdays today! Ida turned 11 a few days ago and Earl’s birthday is today!
They were treated to a special platter of their diet, and if you look close enough, you can see their names spelled out.

🔷 This parrot didn’t just beat the odds — they “macaw”-nquered them!
For years, the Blue-throated Macaw was known only through captive specimens.
🟡 Thanks to conservation efforts, the population has slowly increased and stabilized.

We just sued Fish & Wildlife for failing to finalize critical habitat protections for the friend-shaped Southern Sierra Nevada fisher.
Once well distributed throughout their historical range, habitat destruction and climate change have contributed to their decline.

Get rid of this mound o'silt from monsoonal run-off in the chute, or just leave it as the #bobcat litter box it seems destined to have become? 😹
This may be the same young cat from the saguaro bird-seed stand. Jiggly bits (balls) or no? I can't tell.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.
ICE agents to begin checking documents at MSP airport, patrol jet bridges - Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will begin checking documents of travelers and workers at MSP airport, with patrols inside jet bridges.
