Photographer Captures One in a Million Photo, but Doesn’t Realize It Until He Gets Home
Sometimes in nature things happen that seem too good to be true, perfect coincidences that vividly illustrate the beauty and wonder of the world around us. One such episode occurred over the Costa Brava, in Northeastern Spain, when a flock of birds began to gather into a shape-shifting cloud, known as a murmuration. This phenomenon is a true spectacle, with hundreds, sometimes thousands or more birds moving and twisting in what appears to be a coordinated, single organism that can quickly morph into some startling shapes. Wildlife photography professional Daniel Biber from Hilzingen, Germany was there when the starlings began to swirl and twist, most likely the result of a…

Experts Say Earth’s Ozone Layer Appears To Be Recovering
Experts have confirmed that the earth’s ozone layer is continuing to heal, with a new study finding that its recovery is still in progress. The protective shield is an inorganic molecule which exists in a layer of the earth’s stratosphere, and it’s responsible for absorbing the sun’s UV rays, which are harmful to humans and the planet. This is good news, because not only does it mean we are protected, but it means that we’ve actually managed to reverse some of the damage that we caused. In fact, the ozone had declined to such a worrying level that the ‘Montreal Protocol’ was created – an agreement in 1987 whereby countries…

Animals Are Invading Cities As People Quarantine Themselves At Home
As quarantines roll out in a number of countries, people often bury themselves in movies, social media drama or a good book. While taking a walk outside is encouraged by some governments (as long as a distance from other people is maintained), a lot of people completely forget about the outer world. Well, nature, however, does its thing nonetheless and people are noticing an unexpected outcome of the quarantine. In countries like Japan, Italy, and Thailand, people observed animals roaming the streets due to human absence. Like in Japan, where deer that are local to Nara Park were observed taking to the streets in search of food. Usually, the park…

Ready for a new ‘do? Want to amp up your color? This oil slick hair color treatment could bring a rainbow to your hair, especially if you’re a brunette. Think greens, blues, purples and pinks all throughout your luscious locks. This hair trend is inspired by the rainbow-like colors you’d see in an oil slick, which is what happens when oil ends up floating on an expanse of water. The effect can occur both on a small scale — in a puddle — or on a larger scale when a spill occurs in the ocean. But while oil slicks are bad for the environment, this hairstyle is all about the iridescent look…

World’s Only Albino Orangutan Pictured Alive And Well In Borneo Rainforest
The only known albino orangutan on Earth has been photographed alive and well in a Borneo rainforest, more than a year after being released back into the wild. Alba – named after the Latin word for white – was rescued by the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation in 2017, after they discovered her starving in a cage where she had been kept as a pet by villagers in Tanggirang Village, Central Kalimantan. The blue-eyed, pale furred primate was found to be severely underweight, dehydrated and covered in parasites. Sadly, experts believed she had become separated from her mother before being captured.

NASA Images Show The Reduction In Chinese Pollution Because Of Coronavirus
The coronavirus (which we’re supposed to be calling Covid-19 these days) is causing the world to panic and experience a great deal of anxiety and inconvenience. However, amazing satellite pictures from NASA suggest that it may actually have done some accidental good. OK, so it’s not exactly great, but it is something. You see, because China has effectively been on lockdown for weeks now, the pollution that was previously at massively dangerous levels has now subsided dramatically. The two pictures are like night and day – one has large amounts of ominous yellow pollution, the other is a nice calming blue. Remember when the volcanic ash cloud in Iceland grounded loads of flights worldwide, but it…
