German Shepherd Plays Board Games With The Family During Lockdown
This year has meant spending a lot of time indoors in our homes. While there are many of us who have been trying to use the time at home to do home improvement projects or organize our living spaces, there are those of us who know that sometimes you just need to have some downtime. And what better downtime than gathering with our loved ones in order to play some board games? While we may be playing more board games together than in years past, there is one family who has the most unique player joining them for Jenga: a four-year-old German...
Large Invasive Lizards The Size Of Dogs Are Taking Over The Southeastern United States
The southeast region of the US has seen the invasion of a lizard species that is having a negative impact on the local native wildlife and ecosystems. As the National Geographic has reported, the states of Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama, have been plagued by the black-and-white Argentine tegu. This lizard species is originally from South America, but they’ve been wreaking havoc in the southeast after they were bred in southern Florida. A biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, Amy Yackel Adams, reported to...
Same-Sex Penguin Couple Successfully Parent A Second Baby
Sphen and Magic first stepped into the spotlight back in 2018 when the same-sex penguin couple became parents to a fake egg. The staff at the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium first noticed that the two penguins had been showing signs of nesting, as the two of them began to build a nest together during the breeding season. Unfortunately for Sphen and Magic, they were unable to reproduce. The staff members then gave the pair a dummy egg to care for, curious to see whether or not the two penguin dads had what it took to be parents. As it turned out, the...

See ‘The Most Fish Ever Recorded On Camera’ At Nearly 10,000 Feet Below The Ocean Surface
https://d1dd4ethwnlwo2.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/eels-1920x1080-1.mp4 A world record was just set in near complete darkness, more than 9,800 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. It took a little coaxing, but with some mackerel and a strategically placed floodlight, scientists were able to capture video of the most fish ever recorded in one shot. In this case, it was a writing mass of 115 Ilyophis arx, cutthroat eels. “Our observations truly surprised us,” said Astrid Leitner, a biological oceanographer...
Drone Captures Stunning Shot Of Flamingo Flock In Kazakhstan
When it comes to the animal kingdom, flamingos have some of the most amazing plumage that you are ever going to see. Their beautiful pink hue is caused by their unique diet, which is rich in beta-carotene plankton and crustaceans. If you have ever seen a flamingo, you know that they are breathtaking creatures. And together, in huge flocks, they’re that much more stunning. One photographer was able to capture a shot of such a flock with the help of a drone. Fox 13 Tampa Bay reports that Azamat Sarsenbayev is responsible for the photo of...
Fisherman Watches As Humpback Whale Swim Under Boats And Breaches Feet From The Dock
Cy Williams is a fisherman and boat captain in SE Alaksa. He loves to head out onto the water for a bit of fishing in solitude, or guide tours of fishing with groups of people. But one day when visiting the boat dock, he was in for quite a surprise. Swimming directly below the docked boats and only feet from where he stood was a giant humpback whale. Now, this wasn’t Cy’s first time seeing a humpback whale. He’s a sea captain in Alaska, after all. But this particular moment was a once-in-a-lifetime view, and he caught it all...
Dog Gets ‘Arrested’ For Running Away From Home
I think all of us have experienced the pain and stress of having a dog run away from home. It happened recently in the village of Ziegenbach, Germany, when a little dog got away from his owners and went on a journey. Although the dog was on his own as he traveled about the area, he did run into some new friends on bicycles and he got a little TLC before he moved on. As it turns out, those cyclists had an ulterior motive for being so kind. They ended up calling the cops. On the Mittelfranken police Facebook page, officers posted information...
Musician Plays The Piano For Wild Monkeys In An Abandoned Theater
There is something very universal about music. It has a way of bringing people together. However, it also has a way of reaching and touching our fellow animals on an emotional level too. They will often respond positively to music. And it’s always a beautiful sight to witness. And one very touching video shows just how powerful music can be in bridging a gap between people and animals. Paul Barton is both an artist and a musician. He lives in Thailand where he often travels to different wildlife sanctuaries to play piano for rescue...
Squirrel Accidentally Gets Drunk Eating Fermented Fruit
“Drink, Drank, Drunk.” The appropriate motto to describe 2020, and perhaps the personal motto of the little squirrel in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, who was caught on camera getting his drink on by resident, Katy Morlok. As Morlok shared with Fox 9, she had been cleaning out her fridge when she came across some old pears. She had no idea that they’d gone a little fermented. Thinking that they were still safe to eat, Morlok left them out in a bowl in her yard for the neighborhood squirrels to enjoy. One of the furry...
