Video by Joel Sartore @joelsartore | These Lake Titicaca frogs @museodorbigny are the largest aquatic frog found in Lake Titicaca in Peru and Bolivia. Their wrinkles may seem excessive, but this specialized skin actually functions like a gill, ensuring that the frogs receive enough oxygen to meet their metabolic demands. To catch another glimpse of this incredible creature follow me @joelsartore. #titcacafrog #aqua…

20 posts held, back to 31 May 2019 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 19 June 2019. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 12 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.

Photos by Lucas Foglia @lucasfogliaphoto | How do you save a rainforest? Create a national park, many conservationists would say. What if you’re a nation with 45 million acres of rainforest—an area about the size of Washington State—and a per capita income of just over $8,000 a year. “A tree left standing is not valuable to a family who can’t feed their children three square meals a day,” says Pradeepa Bholanath, h…
Video by Ronan Donovan @ronan_donovan | This is Bearzilla. Estimated to weigh in the 600-700 lb range, this is a really big male for the Rocky Mountains. What's interesting is that most bears in March emerge from hibernation lean and muscular, having burned through their fat stores. But not Bearzilla. I spent a few weeks watching him gorging on several bison carcasses along the Yellowstone River in March. Of the si…
Photo by Pete McBride @pedromcbride | The Frothy Frappuccino Pit at the End: High in the Rocky Mountains is where this river, the Colorado, starts. Some 1,400 miles later, this is where it unnaturally ends. I was shocked when I first saw this on Jon Waterman’s source-to-sea trip for @natgeo. This frothy mess of garbage and ubiquitous single-use plastic is just two miles into Mexico—90 miles shy of the river’s histo…
Photo by James Balog @james_balog | When I photographed this gray wolf back in the early 1990s for Survivors, my series on endangered wildlife, there were around 1,000 left in the contiguous United States. In 1996, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began reintroducing gray wolves to central Idaho and Yellowstone. Thanks to their protected status, more than 5,000 now roam the lower 48. But this spring the service a…
Photos by Gabriele Galimberti and Paolo Woods @gabrielegalimbertiphoto and @paolowoods | This year we celebrate Leonardo da Vinci, who died 500 years ago. In a famous letter to Ludovico Sforza, duke of Milan, Leonardo seeks employment and presents himself more as a military technician than as an artist. In his writings elsewhere, he describes “a certain machine through which people may stay under water as long as t…
Photos by Brent Stirton @brentstirton | This week, I spoke with Nat Geo writer Rachael Bale at the National Geographic Explorers Festival about our work on pangolins. These amazing animals tragically are among the world’s most illegally trafficked mammals. No one has any real idea how many pangolins are left. The trade is huge, both from a thriving Asian market for their meat in the restaurant trade and their scale…
Photo by Renan Ozturk @renan_ozturk | Is this the highest-altitude drone photo of Mount Everest captured to date? Our team just returned from an expedition with a handful of these photo mosaics from the "death zone," showing the majesty of the high Himalaya. This three-photo carousel is actually made up of over 20 high-resolution drone images, stitched together to create an almost 360° view from just below the summ…

Cey and I met a few years ago, when I was hired to photograph him for a magazine. “We are in a time now where so many artists of color are having an opportunity to have their voices heard,” Cey said. “I'm excited to be continuing to make work at a time where now people see us…
Photos by Robin Hammond @hammond_robin | Fishermen on Mahe Island, the Republic of Seychelles. The sea has sustained island people for thousands of years.

Photo by George Steinmetz @geosteinmetz | Harvesting grapes on the volcanic craters of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. Over a hundred years ago, local farmers figured out a way to make wine on this austere landscape, by hollowing out pits to access the richer and wetter inner soil. The harvest here is still a family affair, with meals served on the back of a pickup. To see more of our world from above, follow @geo…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @NationalGeographicChannell. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Mentions
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.

@NationalGeographicChannell named 28 handles that resolve to nothing today. That is a fact about the reference, not necessarily a fact about the handle’s history — see the two groups below.
Most of these may never have existed as a live channel at all.A handle a channel names can be a typo, an aspirational name nobody registered, or a channel that was already gone before this one ever mentioned it. Unless a row below is marked evidenced, all we know is that it references a handle that is not a live channel today — not that anything “died”. How this is measured.
Never seen alive
References a handle that is not a live channel — we have no record it ever was one.
