Orcas have been linked to the sinking of several yachts and sailboats off the coasts of Spain, Portugal and Morocco, leaving scientists looking for answers.Since 2020, a small population of Iberian orcas has been involved in hundreds of recorded interactions with vessels. The whales frequently focus on boat rudders, repeatedly striking or biting them, sometimes causing serious damage and even sinking vessels. At least eight boats have reportedly sunk following these encounters.Researchers think the behavior may have spread between whales through social learning, but scientists still don’t know what triggered it in the first place.Did you know? 🎓

Once on the brink of extinction, the Eurasian beaver has made an extraordinary comeback.By around 1900, only about 1,200 survived in isolated populations after centuries of intensive hunting for fur, meat and castoreum. Since then, legal protection, hunting restrictions, reintroductions and natural expansion have helped drive a remarkable recovery, with the population estimated at around 1.5 million across its Eurasian range.Their return is reshaping waterways, creating wetlands and providing habitats that support biodiversity.Did you know? 🎓
