We are sharing this photo mostly because of the wrinkles😍 but this study is really cool too! | Repost @thewcs | Knock, knock! In the fall, WCS's Ricardo Antunes deployed sound recorders beneath the ice in the Bering Strait to capture audio of marine mammals. Recently, Antunes returned to pick the recorders up and managed to snap this picture of a walrus napping on an ice floe. Have you ever heard the knocking noise made by males of this species? Listen in on our #WCSWildView. #iamthewalrus #walrus #beringstrait #alaska #climatechange #melting #ice #teeth #naptime #knockknock #USA #wildlifeconservation #conservation #science #fieldwork #endextinction #wildlife #wrinkles #cute #lounge #KeyConservation

| Repost @thewcs | Gemsbok, or southern oryx, live in the deserts, scrubland, and brushland of Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. There, they are able to extract all the moisture they require from the vegetation they eat and survive for most of the year without drinking water. @TheWCS scientist Ricardo Antunes captured this moment as he came upon a herd in Etosha National Park in Namibia.

Dwarf mongoose, Africa’s smallest carnivores, live in groups of 12 to 15, enough to get a pretty good “group hug,” which is what Julie Larsen Maher and Jennifer Loveless caught in this moment. Read more on #WCSWildView. #wildlife #wildlifeconservation #mongoose #dwarfmongoose : @thewcs
