• R to @NatlParkService: Did you know badgers are expert diggers? Their strong front claws can tunnel through hard soil in minutes, and some species can even disappear underground almost instantly. See you on Tuesday. #TheMoreYouknow

• Don’t go chasing waterfalls...cautiously approach and be careful of slippery conditions. In fact, you may just want to stick to the rivers and lakes that you’re used to.

• R to @NatlParkService: Waterfalls are some of the most popular spots in parks for sightseeing and snapping photos. Their beauty is undeniable, but they can also be surprisingly risky for the unprepared. Slippery rocks, steep slopes, and hidden currents can catch visitors off guard. What’s the rush? (Besides the water, of course.) If you’re exploring a waterfall, be aware of the hazards. Keep a safe distance from edges, avoid slick rocks, and wear sturdy shoes. Remember: flippy floppies can quickly lead to slippy sloppies!

• Owls have large eyes and feathery ridges that when combined often make them look as if they’re questioning all your life choices.

• R to @NatlParkService: Owl eyeballs are actually elongated tubes, anchored in place by a bony structure in the skull called the sclerotic ring. Because of this, owls can’t move or roll their eyes within their sockets. So, when an owl stares at you, it’s not actually judging you...it just can’t look away. Finally, did you know owls have three eyelids? One is for blinking, one for sleeping, and one for keeping their eye "tubes" clean. We could have added a joke, but the owl just slowly blinked at us.
