When you find a good back scratcher, you stick with it. Brown bears at Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve use “rub trees,” leaving behind hair and scent as they rub against the bark. Bears may return to the same trees again and again. Trail camera video by NPS

Wait… coatis in the U.S.? Yep! Chiricahua National Monument is home to white-nosed coatis, the curious cousins of the raccoon. These playful foragers dig, climb, chase and explore. Large groups are usually females and young, while adult males go solo.

Dolly Parton once described the Smokies as “one of those special places that God put here for us to enjoy.” At Great Smoky Mountains National Park’s 75th anniversary celebration in 2009, she sang about that special place in “My Mountains, My Home.” Video by Haw River Films

Twenty-five years later, we remember. On September 11, 2001, 2,977 people were killed in terrorist attacks that forever changed our nation. Today, we honor those we lost and the first responders who answered the call. We will never forget their courage and sacrifice.

You could say they nailed it. (And also sanded it, painted it, and rebuilt it.) National Park Service staff from across the country are working hard to make DC safe and beautiful, installing and repairing more than 1,000 benches this year. Their work may happen behind the scenes, but the results are on display every day in the shared spaces that help to tell our nation’s story. 🇺🇸

Sometimes the most effective strategy in nature is doing absolutely nothing. American alligators like this one can spend hours barely moving at all. Staying still helps them conserve energy, regulate body temperature, and wait patiently for prey to come within snapping distance.

You might want to turn your volume up for this one. That's the unmistakable bellow of an American alligator. During the breeding season, male alligators produce these deep, booming calls to announce their presence, attract females, and let rivals know who's occupying the territory. Video at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge Video description: An alligator moves through the water in a wetland as it bellows loudly.

Absolutely mesmerizing to witness the glowing lava fountains at Kīlauea's summit eruption in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Volcanoes are living monuments to Earth's fiery origins, a powerful reminder that our planet’s forces are still alive and at work. Video by @usgs

Birdnado incoming. 🌪️🐦 Thousands of tree swallows gather at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge during fall migration to rest and refuel on insects and berries before heading south. When enough show up, it looks a lot like Twister... the original... not the remake.
