Woman Finds A Rare Spider Inside Her Bunch Of Bananas
The news from Donegal is rather shocking, especially if you have arachnophobia. It seems as if a woman found something in a bunch of bananas that she purchased at a supermarket. It was a “red rump” tarantula, which was eventually rescued by the ISPCA. The spider will eventually find a permanent home at Alcorn’s Tropical World. I don’t know about you, but when I go shopping for bananas at the grocery store, I don’t exactly expect to find a spider inside, let alone a tarantula. Photo: Intagram / ispca_official...
Woman Takes Shelter Dogs To Get ‘Puppuccinos’ Every Week So They Can Get Adopted
Nobody said that life was easy, and that is especially true when you are a shelter dog. It can be “ruff” when you are waiting to go to your forever home, and many of those dogs spend the majority of their time cramped up in cages waiting for the big day to happen. There are also the dogs who live at Washington’s Kitsap Humane Society, who are living a different life. Rather than being like your typical shelter dog, they have Molly Clark to look after them. As a loving volunteer, she gives the dogs exactly what they need so...

They worked along with the Mexican Navy to conduct those tests and hopefully, three drones will be patrolling the habitat of the porpoise...

If you are a subscriber to the HelloDenizen YouTube channel, you are probably familiar with their A Tiny Hamster Thanksgiving series.

This particular episode is over in less than two minutes. It’s kind of bittersweet, but it’s still perfect. If you didn’t think that hamsters had the ability to come together like this, this is your chance to learn otherwise. Humans are...
The World’s Minks Are Dying From COVID-19 And Denmark Wants To Cull Millions More
A new strain of COVID-19 could wipe out an entire species if it is not contained. While COVID has claimed the lives of several hundred humans in less than a year, the effects of this disease on animal populations has been far less monitored, and far less understood. We know that COVID-19 originated in the wet markets of Wuhan, China, possibly brought in and passed around by wild animals being sold there. We know that some animals, like pangolin and bats, are more likely to carry the disease than others, like dogs and cats. And now we know...
Disgraced CEO Is Finally Charged For Beating Puppy On Camera
When an LA-based CEO, Jeffrey Previte, was caught abusing a puppy on camera, the reaction was swift. The 46-year-old man was forced to apologize, enroll in anger management classes, relinquish the dog, and even lost his job at the family company where he’d worked as CEO. According to TMZ, prosecutors have also decided to charge Previte with one misdemeanor count of animal neglect for his role in this disturbing incident. We’re obviously glad to see this puppy get justice, but also wonder if his abuser is getting off too easy with...
