Critically Endangered Sighting: Smalltooth Sawfish on Baited Camera Drop! I deployed my camera rig loaded with bait to the seafloor in 53 feet of water just a few miles from Florida's Jupiter Inlet. The biodiversity was incredible, but the star of the show was the appearance of a Smalltooth... show more

Why is it endangered? Probably bc of Chinese like most things. They ruin everything, and kill everything in masses.

A rare encounter with a living fossil! 🌊 This is the Sawfish, one of the most critically endangered marine species in the world. Its unique "saw" (rostrum) is lined with sensitive pores to detect prey and teeth to defend itself. Seeing one in the wild is truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

💔 A week ago a rare Wale-Shark was spotted on the shores of Israel. This is an endangered species, peaceful and feeds only on Plankton. Today it reached the shores of Gaza, it only took the Gazans 20 minutes to pull it out of the water and kill it. What a destructive society..

What is America doing right when it comes to the health of the environment? Quite a lot actually. In recent years, the U.S. has cleaned up its air and water, protected forests and endangered species, lowered carbon emissions, and more. But … what about other countries?

The govt says the Great Nicobar project will cut 8.5 lakh trees. An ecologist estimates the number could be closer to 1 crore. It is also a nesting site for Hawksbill turtle - critically endangered. 1600 species with lot of endemic species of fauna How can anyone look at a beautiful forest 🌳 and think- let’s chop it all down and make some more money 💰

I’m livid. A rare endangered species of whale was on the shores of Israel just a few days ago, and Israel even named it. Today it reached Gaza, and it took them only 20 minutes to pull it out of the water and kill it. Why kill an innocent animal?

This morning, I took advantage of the calm conditions and flew my drone over the Jupiter Inlet. The ocean was glass calm, the water was crystal clear, and visibility from the air was incredible. While flying, I spotted a manta ray gracefully gliding just outside the inlet. A few moments later, I found a spotted eagle ray cruising through the same area, making for another amazing morning on the water. After the flight, I shared the manta ray footage with a scientist friend who studies manta rays. She recognized this individual from previous sightings and shared several fascinating details about its history and identification that I include in this video. I hope you enjoy this incredible glimpse of two of Florida's most majestic rays!

She's tiny, blue, and just adorable! A newly identified octopus species, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, was discovered near Darwin Island in the Galápagos Islands. The little creature was first spotted in 2015 by researchers aboard a submersible in waters nearly 5,800 feet deep. Until now, the species was among the estimated 91% of potential marine species still unknown to humans, a figure from a 2011 study published in PLoS Biology. TIME editor at large Jeffrey Kluger explains how this new species was found. Read more here:

There are a few places where I live that 100s of these fireflies come out. It’s beautiful. See how you can help by participating, watch this cool video that breaks down how many species of fireflies and what’s being done to help the species thrive. Firefly atlas by XERCES SOCIETY While not all firefly species are endangered, many are at risk of extinction, and populations are declining globally due to factors like habitat loss, light pollution, and pesticide use. Some species, like the Bethany Beach firefly, are already considered critically endangered, while the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to list the firefly as endangered for the first time.

“🚨 ONCE IN A LIFETIME HOOK-UP… that got away. 😱 Fisherman sets the hook on what feels like a submarine… then this happens. A massive sawfish — straight out of the dinosaur era — flashes its legendary chainsaw bill for a split second before breaking free. No landing it. Just pure ocean legend. This isn’t your average catch. Sawfish are living fossils with a lineage going back over 50 million years. Their “saw” (rostrum) is packed with electroreceptors to hunt in murky water, and those “teeth” are actually modified scales. Prehistoric predators that look like they swam out of the Cretaceous period… still cruising our waters today (and critically endangered). Heart-pounding fight. Epic glimpse. Zero landing. Drop a 🔥 if you’d lose your mind hooking one of these!”

The derelict elver pass on the River Fergus, Ennis, Co. Clare, this week. This elver pass was never maintained and quickly fell into disrepair. This is one of Inland Fisheries Ireland’s (IFI) fish counters. It is difficult to explain why IFI continues to maintain the fish counter here but has allowed the elver pass to fall into disrepair. The European eel is a critically endangered species, and fish passage problems at weirs and dams are among the key reasons for its decline. This fish pass was installed as part of a damaging flood scheme and was intended to help lampreys, but lampreys cannot use it either. This location is within the Lower River Shannon Special Area of Conservation.

We set this trail camera on a remote wildlife trail near a beaver pond, and here are the highlights from the past year or so! Notably, we captured many more videos of wolves, bears, deer, snowshoes hares, and more but condensed it here to the best footage captured. Of course, our primary goal of setting this camera was to get footage of the wolves in the area, and that was a resounding success as we captured many observations of wolves in the Mithrandir Pack.

While shooting CUTTHROAT ISLAND in Malta, I brought my 16mm camera to make a black-and-white short film. When the production blew up the pirate ship, I captured the massive explosion. This was one of the last big-budget studio films to rely almost entirely on practical in-camera effects and stunts. Regardless of its initial reception, making this film was the adventure of a lifetime. This is from a recent scan of my original camera negative.
