Horse Loses An Eye After Being Hit In The Face With A Firework

Tiny Chihuahua Hitches Ride On Big Dog’s Back As He Swims At The Lake
As The Beatles so famously stated, “I get by with a little help from my friends.” And that sentiment is one that holds true to all of us. No matter who we are, we can all get by with a little help from our friends, and this includes our furry friends. They, too, can use assistance from their companions. And one little Chihuahua named Tim is the perfect example of this. The little pooch, also affectionately known as Tiny Tim, was filmed during a trip to a lake in McHenry, Illinois, getting carried around the water by his friend...
Cat Takes First Trip To Beach And Develops Strong Opinion About The Wind
This story originally appeared at Shareably. Taking our animals around the world to experience their “firsts” can be some of the most magical and funny moments in both our lifetimes.

When one family decided to take their cat to the beach they quickly realized he...
New Monkey Species Discovered, But There Are Less Than 300 Left On Earth
A new primate species has been discovered in southeast Asia. With at most 260 of the monkeys left on Earth, however, the Popa langur is dangerously close to extinction. With so few alive, the monkey has been classified as “critically endangered.” “Sadly this is a bittersweet discovery due to the limited number of individuals left in the wild and fragmented populations,” wrote Roberto Portela Miguez, Senior Curator in Charge of Mammals at the London Natural History Museum, in a published release. The Popa langur was...
Engineer Designs App That Translates Your Cat’s Meows Into Words
Cat parents know that cats are not afraid to voice their opinions, but do we really understand what they’re saying? There’s no doubt that cats are intelligent animals. They discovered that meowing captures their human’s attention, so they use it to communicate. However, cats don’t meow at each other. Pixabay Since cats have made an effort to efficiently communicate with humans, one former Amazon engineer figured it was about time we did the same. Javier Sanchez is now a project manager at Akvelon and recently developed...

Researchers Discover Two New Species Mammals In Australia
Just when we think that all animal species on the planet have been discovered, nature throws a curveball. And for researchers in Australia, 2020 has sent them two new and previously unknown mammal species to study. Researchers had previously believed that there was only one type of the greater glider.
