Elusive and easy to miss, these insects have only recently been correctly identified in several parts of Appalachia. Learn more about this ongoing discovery at the 🔗 in bio. Video by Mark Thiessen

Paid content for @Toyota USA | The wild can be anything you need it to be—which 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 that’s what makes it the ultimate creative fuel. Fast, slow, chaotic, still. It’s 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."

Rolex and the National Geographic Society are partnering on science-based expeditions to explore, study, and document change in the planet’s unique regions. #PerpetualPlanet

Summers in the Arctic are short, but they can be very colorful. During this time, polar bears will forage for bird eggs and hunt arctic ground squirrels and beluga whales. These playful cubs—captured on film by Martin Gregus Jr. @Martin Greguơ Jr.—are making the most of the season, and even manage to convince their mother to join in their fun. See the softer side of polar bears in at the 🔗 in bio.

Happy 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. Learn more about allomothering and elephant society at the 🔗 in bio.
