·2d ago Paid content for @Toyota USA | The wild can be anything you need it to beâwhich is why on her recent trip to Oregon, Nat Geo photographer Jody MacDonald challenged herself to capture the different ways adventure presents itself. "The wild never stays the same, and thatâs what makes it the ultimate creative fuel. Fast, slow, chaotic, still. Itâs always shifting, always asking you to adapt. That unpredictability is what keeps me inspired as a photographer. Because when the wild is constantly changing, every moment becomes a chance to see differently."

·5-13Happy Mother's Day, and happy Allomother's Day, too. What's an allomother? It's a common elephant practice where females help care for younger elephants who aren't their children. When a 5.2 magnitude earthquake hit Southern California in April, a group of older female elephants at the San Diego Zoo formed an "alert circle" to protect the calves in the group. Sometimes these allomothers spring into action to protect youngsters from threats, like during the earthquake, but they also take care of the calves just so the moms get a break.
