Positive Stories From the Natural World
We live in a world where we’re constantly exposed to new information, thanks to the internet and 24-hour news cycle. Some of this information is certainly helpful, like the latest traffic updates before your morning commute or an article with tips to help your
toddler string their first sentence together. But sometimes, it can feel like most of the information we absorb is negative. There’s a whole psychology behind why negative information sells and spreads the fastest, and media conglomerates and online trolls use it to their advantage. So, unfortunately, the online and televised media market is saturated with bad news. Thankfully, this isn’t an accurate reflection of what’s going on in the real world. So, we’re here to show you a couple of positive things happening in the world lately! SCIENTISTS DISCOVERED A HIDDEN OCTOPUS NURSERY. Scientists found an incredible surprise in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of California. There, at the bottom of the thermal spring, were roughly 20,000 octopuses nestled at the bottom in a ball
formation with their tentacles facing up — a position the animal uses to protect its eggs. Scientists predict the octopuses chose this spot due to the warm water, making it the perfect location to brood their eggs thanks to the consistent temperature. 2,000 WHITE RHINOS WILL BE RELEASED INTO THE WILD OVER THE NEXT DECADE. Conservation group African Parks recently purchased the world’s largest private white rhino breeding operation, which resulted in their obtaining 2,000 of the near- threatened animals.
To help increase the rhino’s natural population, African Parks has developed a plan to rehabilitate and release these rhinos slowly — roughly 100 per year — into the wild over the next 10 years. By doing so, their goal is to “create strategic populations to protect the long-term future of the species.” LONGVIEW - 903-758-5551 | TYLER - 903-597-2201
