Wildlife Highlights: Rhino in Nepal, Osprey Returns, and Lemurs in Madagascar

other · 2026-04-24

An Indian rhino strayed into Sauraha, Nepal, from Chitwan National Park, where conservation initiatives have boosted the population more than sevenfold, leading to conflicts between humans and wildlife. In Scotland, osprey Louis made a late return to Loch Arkaig, just in time to confront a competitor. Meanwhile, in Florida, a roseate spoonbill chick was spotted with its parents. A baby fox was saved in Maisons-Alfort, France. In Ukraine's Chornobyl area, a deer was filmed; wildlife has thrived despite the radiation. In São Paulo, a capybara and its cub sought relief from the heat. Three baby rabbits were rescued from a North Sea drilling platform, while wild boar were observed in Shenzhen, China, and a walrus rested in northeast Scotland. Zebras were seen grazing in Hell's Gate National Park in Kenya.
