A professor at the Natural Resources Centre takes a picture of a very rare white bear.

Ilpo Kojola, a professor at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, who studies natural resources, said that the bear is very rare. It's Unique. It caught my attention because it came up out of nowhere. Veijo Toivoniemi, who is from Haapajoki and just caught a rare white bear, says the same thing. Toivoniemi took these pictures in Kuhmo Lentiira, which is a bear-watching area just a few kilometres from the Russian border. Bears are often seen in the area, so platforms for watching them have been put up. That's what makes it so special. When I first got to the neighbourhood, it was the first thing that…

Scientists find a shark that is 512 years old. It is the world’s oldest vertebrate.

Scientists have just discovered an old shark in the North Atlantic. They knew that this shark had definitely gotten older, but they didn't know how old it was until recently. Its estimated age is 512 years, which is a huge number. If it's true, this old shark would be 512 years old, making it the oldest vertebrate still alive on Earth. Greenland sharks tend to live longer than most other animals because they grow very slowly. This is true even though 500 years seems like an incredibly long time. Sharks of this species usually reach adulthood at about 150 years old, but there are stories of…

Here’s what flowers look like to bees and butterflies. Why should they not like them?

Flowers are not only pretty to look at but also help plants make more of themselves. Many flowers, like bees and butterflies, need the help of pollinators like bees and butterflies to spread their pollen and make seeds. How do these bugs see flowers, though? And what draws them to them so much? Pollen and bees Bees are the producers that do the most work in nature. They spend most of their time looking for pollen and nectar, the main foods they and their young need to survive. UV light is invisible to people, but bees can see it because they have special eyes that let…

In a touching moment, a baby seal joins the rescuers. They say, “We have a new team member.”

When you go to save animals, you never know what will happen. This was brought up to Ocean Conservation Namibia in Walvis Bay, Namibia, earlier this year. Antoine and Denzil, two people who help animals, were at Pelican Point when they saw a seal that was caught in the rope. They had to go up to a big group of seals to help the little guy. It wasn't easy to find him because everyone was running away from the two guys, but they did it quickly. Once they had the seal, they could see how hurt he was because his skin had grown over the knots.…

This cute fawn has his physical therapist, who helps him learn to walk.

Dr Darin Trees, a physical therapist, now has a new patient: a cute fawn named Beau. Darin has been helping the young deer get around at the wildlife centre he runs in Texas. WebMD says that Beau walks with an antalgic gait, which is another name for a limp. The trainer has been exercising the baby deer's legs in a swimming pool without putting too much pressure on them. Darin recently put a video of Beau working out on TikTok. He showed the video of the fawn having trouble walking, then showed what the little guy was doing in the pool to get better. Storyful tells…

Thanks to kind people, an owl hit by a car is now on the way to getting better.

A car hit an owl in Westbrook, Maine, while it was flying about two days ago. People who saw what happened didn't think twice about stopping what they were doing to ensure the bird was okay. This kind group of strangers knew they had to do something when it became clear that wasn't the case. Even though the group kept them safe until more help arrived, the bird finally fled into the nearby woods. Lucky for them, a Westbrook police officer was not far behind and was determined to find the chicken. Luckily, the cop was able to do that soon enough. From there, a Game…
