The great "arribada" (arrival) of mother Olive Ridley sea turtles on the Odisha coast, where they dig sand-nests & lay their eggs, driven by ancient instinct.

🧵Who is opposing the Trump administration?
I analysed 76 actions of the administration since inauguration and then searched for *meaningful* opposition to each.
I grouped the types of opposition and considered what we can learn from both them & actions where opposition has been lacking 1/24

The adorable newborn tapir calf is already mastering the art of wiggling its tiny trunk. 🥰
Baby tapirs use their tiny trunks for sniffing, exploring, and even grasping small objects. Their trunks are an extended upper lip and nose, which helps them sense their surroundings and forage as they grow.

Twiggy up close and personal! For a moment, it’s as if she’s saying hello—then, just as quickly, her attention shifts back to the treetops. At nearly 12 feet tall, this young giraffe has a distinct advantage when it comes to browsing.

Myself and Hank get up for the sunrise every day and think about Alba and the dogs no longer with us.
Then it’s off to help the street dogs.
We can’t change all the bad news and gloom in the world but we can do a little bit in our small corner. 💜🙏

Kiombo and Maktao kick off the morning with their usual sparring session—an essential part of 'growing up elephant'. With the high ground on his side, Kiombo has the advantage, but Maktao is always up for the challenge!
