To combat a surge in poaching and wildlife smuggling in Asia and Africa, conservationists and police are turning to methods long reserved for homicides, sexual assaults, and other human crimes. DNA sequencing, fingerprint analysis, infrared imaging to detect blood, ballistics tests, and additional scientific techniques have been utilized with success against miscreants ranging from pangolin poachers in Zimbabwe to peregrine-nest raiders in Scotland. As poachers and traffickers adapt and laws tighten, forensic science is helping tip the balance in favor of endangered species.

Filmed by Martin Gregus Jr. @mywildlive, these polar bear cubs are taking their first steps onto the ice, where everything is a new experience. Their mother, however, remains alert for danger and regularly checks to see if they are followed by a male.

A pair of newly-discovered, record-breaking black holes has scientists simultaneously excited and scratching their heads. The massive duo are the largest ever recorded at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), which was built to detect ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by the collisions of massive objects. These enormous outliers are challenging theorists to figure out just how they grew to such titanic sizes. Find out what this discovery means for our understanding of black holes at the link in bio.

The Dragon Bravo Fire, which has ravaged the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in Northern Arizona, was started by lightning and left to burn under managed conditions for fuel and resource benefits. However, strong winds caused the fire to jump containment lines, leading to it burning out of control. To date, it has consumed 11,344 acres of conifer forest as well as dozens of structures, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge. Originally built in 1928, the lodge was destroyed in 1932 by a kitchen fire, but was reopened in 1937 like a phoenix rising from the ashes. For many venturing to the high, green, thrillingly remote North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park over the years, the lodge served as a prime destination thanks to its breathtaking vistas of the canyons and surrounding scenery—including for Leath Tonino during his time as a U.S. Forest Service raptor scientist. While the structure may be gone, the memories remain, as well as hope for the future. Read Tonino's elegy for both the lodge and the area affected by the Dragon Bravo Fire at the link in bio.
