Giant titanosaurs nested at high southern latitudes, new eggs reveal

Scientists uncovered 255 titanosaur eggshell fragments dating to about 68 million years ago in Argentina’s Chorrillo Formation, showing titanosaurs nested at high southern latitudes (55–60°S)—far from the equator—likely using mound nests warmed by rotting plant material to incubate their porous eggs. These nests may have been communal, with hatchlings weighing about 4 kilograms, and the discovery suggests giant sauropods could reproduce year‑round at high latitudes, expanding our understanding of dinosaur behavior and adaptation.

Patagonia Files Suit Over Bears Ears Shrinkage, Defends Tribal Co-Management

Patagonia sued the Trump administration over July orders shrinking Bears Ears (and Grand Staircase-Escalante) National Monuments, arguing the move violates the Antiquities Act and undermines tribal sovereignty; this marks the company’s second lawsuit over public-land reductions, following a 2017 case, while Biden had restored the monuments to their original size in 2021.

Talero: Patagonia dog’s 23-day vigil by his owner’s side

Talero, a Patagonian ranch dog, stayed by his deceased owner Bernardo Quirós for 23 freezing days after a car breakdown, fending off foxes and scavengers and even hunting small prey to survive. His steadfast guarding helped draw attention to the site, leading rescuers to the body; the story is often cited in discussions of canine loyalty and the limits of what dogs can understand about death.

Patagonia joins suit to stop Trump-era Utah monument downsizing

Patagonia has joined a federal lawsuit challenging Donald Trump's 90% downsizing of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in Utah, arguing the Antiquities Act does not authorize undoing protections and emphasizing tribal sovereignty and the public interest in safeguarding sacred lands.

Patagonia Sues Trump Over Shrinking Bears Ears Monument in Utah

Patagonia joined conservation groups to sue President Trump, seeking to overturn his July proclamation that shrank Bears Ears National Monument in Utah by more than 1 million acres (and reduced Grand Staircase-Escalante by about 1.7 million). The lawsuit argues the Antiquities Act authorizes creating protected sites but not shrinking them, reviving litigation from 2017 and signaling a potential Supreme Court dispute over presidential power to alter monuments; Biden had previously restored protections in the interim.

Patagonian giant bumblebee fights for survival amid invasive rivals

The Patagonian giant bumblebee Bombus dahlbomii, the region’s largest pollinator, is facing rapid declines as non-native European bumblebees (Bombus ruderatus and Bombus terrestris) outcompete it and bring pathogens; it also uniquely detects red flowers and is being highlighted as invertebrate of the year to raise awareness and conservation efforts.

Patagotitan Mayorum: The 57-Ton Giant That Roamed Patagonia

Patagotitan mayorum, a titanosaur from Patagonia, weighed about 57 tonnes and stretched 37 meters, making it the largest known land animal. Found in 2010 from remains of six individuals, with over 200 bones recovered, it reveals rapid growth from hatchling to giant and a plant-based diet supported by a long neck; adults faced few threats from predators and likely shaped their ecosystem as ecological engineers.

Pattie Gonia and Patagonia: Trademark Fight Tests Activism, Parody and Brand Power

Patagonia sued Pattie Gonia (Wyn Wiley’s drag persona) in January 2026 over trademark applications for Pattie Gonia-branded clothing and related services, arguing the move could confuse consumers and dilute Patagonia’s brand identity. Pattie Gonia has pushed back, framing the suit as an attack by a corporation on activist work. Legal experts say parody has strict limits and that Pattie Gonia’s merchandise may not clearly qualify as parody; still, experts note a real risk of consumer confusion and brand dilution. The disputes hinge on trademark law and the boundary between activism and commerce, with analysts suggesting a quick settlement—potentially Pattie Gonia withdrawing applications and halting Pattie Gonia-branded products—as Patagonia seeks a resolution that preserves both brands’ environmental aims. The case spotlights the tension between brand protection and activist branding in the outdoor industry.

Ice Fragments Break Off Patagonia Glacier, Captured From Space

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station photographed fragments breaking off the Tyndall Glacier in the Southern Patagonian Icefield, with pieces drifting into Lago Geikie; the glacier has receded significantly in recent decades due to climate change, exposing bedrock and even ichthyosaur fossils as a reminder of ongoing glacier loss and potential sea level rise.

Patagonian Icefield's Tyndall Glacier Calving Sparks New Icebergs

NASA's Earth Observatory showcases an ISS image of Tyndall Glacier in southern Chile, part of the Southern Patagonian Icefield, with icebergs drifting on Lago Geikie after recent calving. The glacier has shrunk since the Little Ice Age; Lago Geikie formed around 1940 as the ice retreated. Tyndall has lost about 2.2 km of length since Nov 2022 due to thinning and multiple calving events, including a major one in 2023. In May 2026 the front stood roughly 30–40 m above the lake, and scientists expect more iceberg production this fall as crevasses persist. Astronaut photography enables monitoring of remote glaciers like Tyndall and helps track ongoing climate-related changes.

Patagonia Uncovers New Horned Turtle Species From the Late Cretaceous

Paleontologists have named Patagoniaemys aeschyli, a new meiolaniform turtle from northern Patagonia, Argentina, dating to the Maastrichtian (72–67 million years ago). The well-preserved Los Alamitos Formation fossil includes skull base, shell fragments, vertebrae, and limbs, with an about 80 cm carapace; its broad, relatively low shell bears thick bumps and a surface of pits and grooves. The discovery supports persistence of meiolaniform lineages across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in Patagonia, indicating limited faunal turnover for southern turtles, and was described in Acta Palaeontologica Polonica (March 26, 2026).
