According to the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), cross river gorillas, a subspecies of the western gorilla, are the world’s rarest gorilla species. WCS says there are only about 300 of them left in the wild, and humans very rarely see them. That’s why recent trail-cam footage of a whole troop of cross river gorillas, including several babies, is so exciting.

Two black bears—one with black fur and one with cinnamon-colored fur—got playful in front of a trail cam in the Yukon wilderness. The video by Yukon Wildlife Cams shows highlights from a 10-hour window in the Yukon, a territory in the northwest corner of Canada that borders Alaska. At the start of the video, a couple of black bears wrestle, tackle, and more. Are they playing? Foreplaying? Maybe both?

All smiles as she posed for red-carpet photos with husband Brendan McLoughlin, the 40-year-old confidently displayed her curves in a glittery number, looking glam in high heels and with a fun, bright pink purse adding plenty of color.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

No one goes into a trip to a national park planning to become a “touron” chastised on social media for going off trail or taking selfies with huge wild animals. And yet, it happens on the daily. Folks excited by the beautiful or unique landscape decide those railings or boardwalks aren’t going to contain them. Others decide to walk right up to a dangerous animal to get a good photo. It’s the latter group that Visit Jackson Hole is targeting with its new Instagram filter, Selfie Control.
