Humans have interrupted a lot of natural processes. Highways divide forests, and dams interrupt the migration routes for fish. But that isn't to say that we haven't found solutions to some of the problems that we created. Wildlife bridges have been built over highways allow animals to cross the highway safely. And in a recent Twitter storm, the public has rediscovered an amazing apparatus that scientists released in 2014 which helps salmon migrate. It is called the Salmon Cannon. And as you can imagine, everyone is obsessed with it.

Recently, it was discovered that a narwhal (who was more than 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) south of its normal range) seems to have been adopted by a group of belugas. And apparently, the narwhal has been observed with the belugas for nearly three years in North America's St. Lawrence River!
At least 5 stray dogs in India have turned blue after swimming in a heavily polluted river near Navi Mumbai.
