Incredible journey of a loggerhead turtle to locate its home. This is Yoshi & she just traveled 37000 kms from Africa to Australia probably to find here nesting grounds. Also incredible to observe how these creatures move to such a length & why we need to protect nesting grounds.
Turtles are known for going back to their nesting grounds. She swam for two years to reach its home. Once found damaged and soon learned to swim. Incredible story of a 180 KG turtle.

Photo and Information courtesy: Two Oceans Aquarium
Yoshi was captive for twenty years. She was found damaged. Later trainers help her in getting back in right health. She was fitted with satellite tag.

Researchers released her & monitored the journey. In which case she was going where she was once hatched. Her home !!

Do you know #elephant family is all women group. Made of #mother, #aunts, #grandmother & all other #ladies. Most of the times Male leave herd early. Kids are looked by all female elephants in herd not only mother. Most experienced female makes all decision for family. #WomensDay
The male usually leave at the age of 12-15 years. Then keep joining & leaving herd, same or another temporarily. A kid is raised by all females. They raise them and impart all the accumulative wisdom, since an elephant has long lifespan they do have acquired wisdom.
This joining of another herd by a male is not that easy. The existing male (temporary) tries to resist. Some incidents led to fights also, which goes for days. Some such fights are fatal for one. Result of one such, where this was trying to join a herd. Was killed in infighting.

So what is the most grotesque scene you've seen so far in life. Just think about mind flooded with hallucinations of a rhino in Kaziranga wailing in excruciating agony, left to die in the most gruesome manner in a pool of blood. Long thread reproduced with permission. 1/n
Will send chill down in ur spine ? If not, let me narrate a sordid account of how a glorious animal : the Indian one-horned Rhino is poached in wildlife areas by poachers, for your info. The Indian one-horned rhino, despite being blessed with a thick hide/skin, has a major [2/n]
disadvantage : an abysmally poor eye-sight. Hence, it demarcates its "territory" by its dung/excreta and it triangulates its destination via the smell of its dung. So, if u want to catch this majestic beast, all u need to do is simply find patches of rhino's dung in [3/n]

As #Australia reels from unprecedented bushfires, the disconnect between its vulnerability to #climate change and the inadequacy of its government's response is coming under international scrutiny.
We have produced a mountain of research on this -
👇👇 thread👇👇
1/ #Australia is on fire due in large part to #climate change yet the government is looking for ways to weaken the Paris Agreement by using 40 y. o. Kyoto protocol credits to meet its 2030 targets. We show there's no legal basis for this 
bit.ly/Aus_KPCO @TheAusInstitute
2/ Our calculations show just how bad using Kyoto carryover units to meet #ParisAgreement commitments would be for #climate action: an extra 0.1˚C of warming that wld not otherwise hv occurred due to delays in energy & economic system transformation

(THREAD) BREAKING: In an extraordinary move, Sen. Feinstein (D-CA) has *unilaterally* released the transcript of Fusion GPS's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

What follows is a live-read of the transcript by a former criminal defense attorney. Hope you'll share.
1/ First, here's a link to the transcript, which is on Senator Feinstein's government website:
2/ This testimony is from August 22, 2017.

It's not the only testimony Glenn Simpson (Fusion GPS) has given before Congress. The Republicans did not want Americans to see this testimony; after publicly saying he'd vote to release it, Sen. Grassley (R-IA) reneged on his promise.

Good morning Twitter! I move to Australia today! 1 like/retweet of this tweet = 1 thing you (maybe) didn't know about Australian #sharks.
Alright, let's get this party started: First, numbers aren't 100% accurate but anywhere from 170-190 species of #sharks call Australian waters home. That's a lot, seeing as how there are roughly 500-ish species.
According to the Australian Government's Department of Environment and Energy, of those 170-190 species, around 70 are thought to be endemic. Endemic means "native to a specific region or environment and not occurring naturally anywhere else."
