Even wolf pups need toys! These remote cameras captured members of Yellowstone’s historic Mollie’s Pack carrying objects back to their den for the pups to play with. Now outside the park’s protection, this wolf family could face hunters. Let’s keep Mollie’s Pack together.
This Shark Week, meet a few endangered sharks. From the oceanic whitetip roaming the open ocean to the angel shark resting along the seafloor, each species has its own remarkable adaptations, but all face growing threats from overfishing, habitat loss and accidental capture in fishing gear.
