This is big…like really big!
If you're anything like our team here at LittleThings, you love animals and want nothing but the best possible home for them on our planet. As you can see in this extremely moving video featuring an orangutan, humans have no one to blame but ourselves for our planet being in such trouble. Global warming has a lot to do with the destruction of habitats, but again, humans are at fault… And don't even get me started on hunting for profit.
We might have really screwed up our planet in the past, but that doesn't mean we can't start making strides toward a better future and the following video gives us a powerful speckle of hope. For centuries humans have hunted the blue whale to the point of near-extinction, but one was recently spotted for the very first time in Moss Landing, a sanctuary off the coast between Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay, CA…and it couldn't have come at a better moment.
Reporter Steve Backshall was in the middle of interviewing whale expert Dorris Welch on BBC's Big Blue Live show, when he got the amazing news: one of the rare and elusive gentle giants made their way into the bay for the very first time. While many smaller giants frequent the popular whale watching area, the blue, which is the largest animal on our planet (even bigger than any known dinosaur) has never popped up in these waters. This comes as a great sign that the waters at Moss Landing are cleaner and safer than ever before.
This reporter's amazing response says it all. We might have a lot of work to do to save our home, but this is definitely amazing progress.
