An otter is spotted in the Bronx River for the first time in 100 years
An otter was spotted in New York City’s Bronx River for the first time in a century. For a waterway once known for pollution, that single animal is a small, living sign that repair can become visible. It is hard not to love a comeback story with whiskers.

Coral restoration teams in Florida carefully moved 1,000 endangered corals farther north after an extreme heat advisory threatened their survival.
