Grandma Learns an Indelible Lesson: Wildlife Shouldn’t Be Disturbed
When it comes to untamed animals, it is essential to be cautious and aware of the risks involved. Clearly, the lady missed that memo. Wild horses, for instance, can be especially unpredictable. They may get very aggressive, and even though their hooves are made for galloping, they can easily trample anyone. Remember, these animals are not domesticated and may misread your behavior. So, always try to stay away.
The coasts of Maryland and Virginia have some of the most scenic views in the US. One such location is Assateague Island, where you can find magnificent wild horses prancing around the beach. The wild animals and picturesque views are perfect tourist attractions, but there are strict rules you need to adhere to for your own safety. Some people think they’re above the law.
Let’s take this old lady, for example. What was going through her mind when she tried to kick away a wild horse with a kids beach shovel? Whatever it was, the wild beast did not find it the least bit humorous. Imagine, the woman sees a hungry horse snacking on her beachside picnic, so she tries to scare it away. Instead, the woman learns a very important life lesson about aggravating wild animals. And just like that, the animal bucks up and hits the woman’s arm with its powerful kick, sending her tumbling down.
The lady looked dazed for a few seconds, rolling in the sand, while two smaller horses appeared out of nowhere to help their friend. This is why they have rules at Assateague Island specifically for these situations: “Do not touch or otherwise agitate the horses. Don’t even feed them.” There are numerous warning signs all over the island, telling the tourists the dangers of aggroing a wild horse.
Just to make it clear to everyone, they had to issue an official statement emphasizing the dangers of getting too close to the wild horses, as they can kick, bite, and knock people down with ease. Respect their personal space, and they will do their best not to mess you up.
The world of bugs and insects is as magnificent as it is terrifying. When it comes to the small variants we’re usually okay in dealing with them, but most people prefer when the bigger bugs stay a safe distance away. And by safe distance, we mean “stay still in eyesight but give me enough room to start running if you move.” But since you clicked on this article, you’re probably someone that doesn’t mind the occasional creepy critter and you’re thrilled to join our ride through the wonderful world of big bugs.
This probably goes without saying, but some of these critters are not going to be for the faint of heart. You’ve been warned.
Goliath Beetle
If you ever run into one of these in the African rainforests, you’ll instantly find out why it’s named the way it is. The goliath beetle can grow to a size of 10 cm but they usually stick to their own thing and just eat tree sap and fruit all day. Sounds like a healthy diet!
Tarantula Hawk Wasp
While this wasp may not be as big as some of the other creatures on this list with a size of only 5 cm, it deserves a spot for being the biggest wasp and getting its name because it literally hunts and kills tarantulas. Also, this cute lady paralyzes its prey, pops a single egg in it and then lets the larva eat the victim.
Atlas Beetle
This 13 cm long subtype of rhinoceros beetle can be found in Indonesia and, like all rhino beetles, can be pretty fiesty and aggressive if you run into one. You can find the reason for its name in the fact that its mandibles look like they could hold up the sky, much like Atlas had to.
Unlike dogs, all cats are more or less the same size, but then again, there are Irish wolfhounds who could probably swallow most of the cats whole. Either way, domestic cats have big breeds, too, not counting tigers and lions, of course.
If you’re a fan of giant cats, you’ll love this list of the largest cat breeds. Which one strikes your fancy the most?
1. Maine Coon
The Maine Coon is by far one of the largest cat breeds in the world, if not the largest. These fluffy boys and girls weigh between 8 to 25 lbs. Compared to other breeds, they’re very smart and have a peaceful disposition.
2. Savannah cat
The great-grandfather of the savannah is an actual serval, a wild African cat. You can easily see the family resemblance. These lean and mean hunters can weigh over 20 lbs. Needless to say, your house mice wouldn’t stand a chance.
3. Chausie
The lovely mix of the Abyssinian cat and the reed cat inherited the appearance from its wild ancestor and the affectionate disposition from the domesticated one. Chausies are quite exotic, but they do fall under the definition of a large cat with their hefty 7-15-lbs bods.
4. Ragdoll
Okay, enough of the hybrids. Let’s look at something cute and fluffy — the Ragdoll. It’s a super chill breed, as the name suggests, and it can grow to weigh 8-20 lbs, but it will still be playful and full of grace. This cat is ideal for a family with children, just make sure the kids don’t harm it.
Life on Earth emerged billions of years ago as cellular organisms evolved into some really weird things. It went through the childhood phase of trilobites and those swirly ammonites, followed by the awkward fish phase, the amphibian phase, the rebellious dino era, the big fluffy adult mammal years, and now we’re here — the geriatric hairless monkey era.
Throughout all these epochs, nature has experimented with extraordinary monsters, and now we’ll show you some of its scariest creations.
1. Gigantic Danger Noodle — Titanoboa
Did you know that the largest modern snake (in captivity) measures 25 feet and weighs 350 lbs? Now compare that to the Titanoboa: according to the fossils found, this 42-feet-long danger noodle could possibly weigh around 2,500 pounds. We don’t know for sure what their diet consisted of, but scientists believe Titanoboa primarily fed on fish. It could certainly swallow a few adult humans without even dislocating its giant jaw.
2. Anvilhead Shark — Stethacanthus
Speaking of sharks, there’s another weirdo you have probably never heard of — Stethacantus. Most of the representatives of this fishy family look very similar to each other, even when you compare today’s species with the extinct ones. But there were a few notable outliers that just don’t feel real. The Stethacantus had a dorsal fin shaped like an anvil. Why would they ever need something this cumbersome? We will never know.
3. Monster Shark — Megalodon
If you thought sharks were scary, you really don’t want to let a Megalodon catch you by the ankles. Yes, it is extinct, but you never really know what’s swimming right under your feet. Just so you can imagine what this thing was like, think of a Great White shark and now make it bigger. When you reach 70 feet, back up a little. That’s around 20m in length for all you metric fans. Researchers say that if it wanted to, a Meg could have opened its killer jaws so wide, it would easily swallow Shaq whole.
In April 2019, thousands of dehydrated tardigrades, human DNA samples, and other cargo were sent to the Moon. But the pod crash-landed, and the project developers are convinced that these tiny organisms may be the only ones who survived the mission.
Tardigrades, also often called “water bears,” are microscopic creatures that can survive in almost any environment. It is known that scientists managed to bring tardigrades back to life after 30 years of deep freezing. Being extremophiles, tardigrades shut down their metabolism and survive in harsh environments for very long periods. Tardigrades can withstand pressure comparable to an asteroid falling on Earth, so an emergency landing, like the one that happened on the Moon, is nothing for them. These creatures are theoretically capable of living on the Moon for decades. Fascinating, isn’t it?
Here are some more extreme facts about the hardiest creatures on our planet.
1. Tardigrades were first discovered in 1773 by a German pastor named Johann August Goetze. In 1776, the Italian biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani gave it the Latin name Tardigrada, which means “walking slowly.”
2. Since 1778, more than 1150 species of tardigrades have been discovered.
3. Tardigrade babies are born with a full set of adult cells. They do not grow by cell division. Their cells simply increase in size.
4. Tardigrades have been living on Earth for about 530 million years.
5. Tardigrades are tiny, microscopic animals with segmented bodies. They reach about 0.5 to 1 mm in length. They have four pairs of legs, each with 4-8 claws resembling bear claws. For this feature, they are often called “water bears” or “moss piglets,” as they are often found in moss.
Have you ever seen a human-sized cat? Granted, this extra-large kitty is not as big as an adult, but he’s only two years old. Snow-white Maine Coon named Kefir has already conquered both hemispheres, although not everyone believes that he is real, and honestly, who can blame them?
Kefir is not even two years old yet, but he already looks like he could eat a horse for dinner every day, and we can only imagine what it must feel like for his owner to anger this beast. In reality, this giant fluffball is just a tender cuddle monster. Even as a kitten, he was larger than an ordinary domestic cat. Now he weighs over 30 lbs, and there’s still time to grow! An adult Maine Coon grows up to 4 ft in length, including the fluffy tail, and Kefir is up there already.
People online joke that Kefir feeds on the souls of the unworthy, washing them down with vodka, which doesn’t sound that outlandish since, after all, he does live in the land of Putin. His owner Yulia feeds him natural food and reassures everyone that his diet contains only freshly ground liver pate (no human meat whatsoever). What a super diet!
Contrary to popular belief, cats of different breeds can differ greatly not only in appearance but also in character. Anyone who loves hanging around with a Sphinx is unlikely to get along with a Persian. Have you ever wondered which cat breed fits your Zodiac sign best? Hopefully not, but we can still answer that question!
1. Aries — Siberian
Aries are active, fearless, and energetic. They need a cat that is as bouncy as they are. Therefore, getting a Siberian cat for Aries as soon as possible is a great idea. These fluffballs are very playful and could be your way to become famous on Instagram or YouTube. Even when they get older, they don’t stop zooming around the house, doing aerial tricks, and playing with their favorite toys.
2. Taurus — LaPerm
Tactile by nature, Tauruses like to explore the world through touch, and that’s exactly why they would love to have a furry companion like a LaPerm, who constantly taps everything with its paws. They are known for rubbing against everyone and everything in their path. Totally adorable.
3. Gemini — Siamese
The most sociable sign is probably the Gemini. They always know what to say and how to say it. Siamese cats are the most vocal of all other breeds, so if you’re into midnight yowling and cute meows, this is definitely a kitty for you. Plus, a Siamese cat will protect your family members and guard the house like a dog.
4. Cancer — Somali
Cancers are sensitive and emotional, so they need a cat breed that will always be by their side. Of course, a Somali cat is the best fit in this case. These kitties can be quite active but also love to cheer up their owners by curling up on their lap.
While self-medication among humans is generally frowned upon (probably due to the fact that it never has anything to do with staying healthy), the animal world is full of examples of creatures using Mother Nature’s natural resources to keep healthy. Let’s take a look at some of the most impressive ones.
House Sparrows
While most animals will use plants and the like to self-medicate, the house sparrows have some pretty ingenious ways to boost their health. They’ve discovered that cigarette buds have nicotine in it, which is a perfect deterrent for mites. By putting these in their nests, they can keep them mite-free relatively easy.
Woolly Bear Caterpillar
Even the smallest creatures on this planet will find ways to boost their health when needed. The woolly bear caterpillar actually singles out plants that have certain toxins in them that would kill parasitic tachinid flies. By eating these plants specifically, they can reduce their chances of infection and increase their own health.
Orangutans
This species is known for carrying their babies around through the jungle. The mothers have developed a method of chewing medicinal plants into a paste and then rubbing it over their arms, which works like a pain-easing balm would.
Unlike forests and jungles, cities filled with concrete buildings aren’t really the best environment for wild animals. At least not until you take into account all the pros and cons. This whole time it was us, humans, who invaded their homes, and now it’s time to pay for our audacity.
Here are eight examples where wild animals invaded our cities.
1. Leopards in Mumbai According to the recent sightings, at least 47 leopards are hiding in parks and forested areas. You may think, “eh, there are over 20 million people living in Mumbai, so who cares?” As it turns out, the murder kitties don’t really care for humans and prefer hunting dogs and occasional pigs. But just in case, you shouldn’t hang out alone at night.
2. Bears in Aspen You may think that bears are dumb and clumsy creatures, but they’re actually smart enough to figure out how to open trash bins, climb balconies, and even get inside cars and apartments. Yes, they can break into your house and eat your cold pizza from the fridge! The bears are so fearless, they just stroll down the street and eat whatever they want. Some break into cars in search of food and mess up the vehicle from the inside.
3. Pythons in Bangkok Sewers Bangkok is a sprawling Megapolis with millions of people living inside their fancy skyscrapers, not giving a hoot about anything. That is, of course, until 7-foot pythons start crawling out of their toilets. The sewers are warm, moist, and, most importantly, full of juicy rats, so the snakes have made their choice. Jungles are for losers anyway, right?
Guy Travels Around the World Taking Adorable Selfies With Local Animals
Taking selfies while traveling is nothing new or original. Everyone wants to have those snippets of memories stored on their phones or in the cloud to be able to relive them again. After all, some of those moments might not ever happen again. Having the photos accessible on Instagram, we can show our friends and relatives all the coolest spots, picturesque places, and occasionally an adorable interaction with the local fauna, so that maybe next time they know where to go during their journey.
When it comes to taking selfies with cute animals, nobody does it better than this 29-year-old guy from the Australian Gold Coast named Allan Dixon, also known as the animal whisperer. He does not take just ordinary photos, oh no. Each of his shots is more charming than the previous, and they’re some of the most wholesome selfies on the Internet. According to Allan, to take such delightful pictures, all you need is a love for animals and some patience.
Usually, he approaches the animal, talks to them about the weather and the cryptocurrency prices, maybe a bit about the latest memes, you know, to make them relax a bit. If the animals know you’re a nerd, they’re less likely to bite you, right? Then, if the animal doesn’t seem to mind, he starts petting them and gives them treats before eventually snapping that one-of-a-kind selfie with them. Right now, Dixon’s collection includes dozens if not hundreds of cute pictures with quokkas, koalas, llamas, kangaroos, and other adorable beasties. Here are just some of the best shots!
Is it a common sight to find a kangaroo on a beach?
The smile makes this photo ten times better.
Here’s a selfie with a friendly alpaca.
Canadian moose is usually a fearsome creature and yet…
Rescue Dog Pictures Before and After Adoption That Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity
Millions of homeless animals are waiting for their forever homes, but unfortunately, there are far too many of them to fit in my tiny apartment. So to help these cuddly little cuties get adopted by loving families (meaning us), we should all take them from local shelters instead of purchasing 10,000-dollar pure breeds.
Anyway, pets deserve our love and respect just like anyone you care about since they are usually stuck with us their whole lives. Sometimes it’s a short couple of years, and other times, they’ll stay by our side for decades as loyal friends and cuddle buddies. But they are always incredibly grateful — especially the poor pups in this gallery below. Get ready to shed a few tears for the cute rescue dogs!
1. This pupperoni definitely looks happier at home than on that cold slab of concrete.
2. This dog named Bug came to the shelter straight from the street confused and frightened, but everyone instantly fell in love with her. She was able to find her forever home and a soft, warm bed.
3. Volunteers noticed this dog at one of the abandoned construction sites. A year later, she got adopted and now lives like a queen!
4. These photos are one year apart, if you can believe that. He almost got fat thanks to all that sweet love.
5. This dog was tortured by the previous owners and then thrown out in the street. But after spending eighteen months in a new house, he learned to trust people again.
25 Dog Breeds That Might Cause Your Homeowners Insurance To Skyrocket
Unfortunately, the price of your homeowner insurance depends greatly on what breed of dog you have. The reason for these companies denying insurance is a result of risk evaluation — those dog breeds that pose a higher risk will entail a higher insurance price — these blacklisted breeds are often ones that are regarded as more aggressive, a risk to children, or unusually disobedient, all of which can lead to an accident. Here are the top 25 dog breeds which might just hike that rate.
1. Akita
Japan’s national dog is high up on the list of no-nos when it comes to homeowner insurance. They’re known as being extremely dominant, and used to hunt a range of animals throughout history — even bears. Akitas are fiercely loyal, but need to be secured at all times and trained, with regular training incorporated to avoid accidents.
2. Mastiff
Although they’re mostly gentle giants, your everyday English mastiff can weight up to 230 pounds, meaning that if you lose control over it, it can easily overpower you. When these big canines aren’t a huge risk with other dogs, their large size alone makes them hard to control if something does happen.
3. Chow Chow
These guys might look like fluffy stuffed animals, but they’ve been known to accidentally hurt kids, and require owners with a sense of power, which can be hard for young children to convey. They can also get very attached to their parents and protective over their family, causing danger to strangers who approach.
4. American Pit Bull Terrier
Although Pit Bulls are commonly misunderstood, it’s usually due to the owner. When handled correctly, pitties are perfectly calm and well-behaved. But if a Pit Bull is left untrained and is improperly trained, it can pose a threat that’s often uncontrollable, especially due to the breed’s natural strength.
5. Bullmastiff
These dogs are big, but think they’re a small terrier, which can lead to some potential issues such as knocking own kids or being aggressive towards other dogs. If they are rescued or adopted as adult dogs, training is very difficult — the earlier, the better.
6. Presa Canario
These beautiful pups need to be socialized and made obedient early on, especially given that the Presa Canario was first developed to protect livestock by attacking wild dogs that endangered their herd. When it’s not given the exercise it needs, fatal consequences can happen.
7. Cane Corso
The Cane Corso, aka the Italian Mastiff, needs tons of socialization and extensive training. Not just to avoid aggressive behavior, but to avoid skittishness. These dogs, as intimidating as they look, can be quite nervous, and if they get caught off guard, they’ll easily drag you away with them — and whatever’s in their way!
8. Great Dane
Just like the Cane Corso, Great Danes are easily spooked. Handsome as they are, they require serious coaching when it comes to being domesticated, and usually require supervision around dogs and kids, leading to negligent behavior on the owner’s part. As always, uneutered dogs pose a greater risk.
9. Doberman Pinscher
Dobermans were bred as guard dogs in Germany back in the day. While breeders have worked to make sure these dogs are calm and stable, there have been cases of Doberman dogs attacking kids, and even if the fault is on the owners for the dog’s bad behavior, insurance companies don’t see it this way.
10. American Staffordshire Terrier
Staffies are generally playful and gentle, but if you neglect them, the AKC, or American Kennel Club, says their actions can become destructive. If your dog escapes or if you have young children unattended, this can create an issue.
11. German Shepard
Another frequent police dog, these pups are protective over their families, which can lead to issues. Back in 2018, a pair of German Shepherds escaped from their home and attacked a pedestrian walking by.
12. Rottweiler
As adorable as Rotties are, they can get to massive sizes and were in fact bred for strength purposes alone. Although these dogs are loyal to their families, this can backfire and cause them to act with violence to people or fellow dog owners who approach. Commonly used as police modes, sometimes these dogs (when not properly trained) can misconstrue playtime for attack mode.
13. Siberian Husky
Huskies are gorgeous, but they’re also known for having extremely high energy levels that take hours and hours to tire out. They were more bred to pull sleds than guard homes, and due to their explosive nature, lots of people don’t like having them around young children, and this can affect insurance — they even compete with kids for attention.
14. Pekingese
You might want to cuddle this dog based on its tiny nature, but their independent nature can make them hard to control. They often rebel around kids and need a powerful sense of authority to tame their feisty nature.
15. Wolf Hybrid
Wolves are natural hunters — and even if you take the wolf out of nature, you can’t take nature out of the wolf. A Wolf hybrid is made by mating a dog and wolf, and creating this blend can after be dangerous and create unforeseeable actions in the future.
16. Alaskan Malamute
Like huskies, malamutes are pets who are popular due to their love for people. Still, they have what’s referred to as a “high prey drive”, meaning that if they needs aren’t met, they can get aggressive — especially if they’re not fixed from a young age.
17. Chihuahua
Even though large dogs are usually on the no-go list, Chihuahuas are actually not the best family dogs due to their stubborn behavior and strong will. They are difficult to train unless there is a very strong sense of leadership. They can actually get quite aggressive with kids due to jealousy.
18. Affenpinscher
This little fur-ball doesn’t look like much, but they’re rather mischievous. Even though the Affenpinscher can be entertaining, they defend themselves when they don’t feel comfortable, so if a young child is roughhousing or bugging them, they might bite back. Strong leadership is a must, since they’re easily disobedient with weak leaders.
19. Dogo Argentino
This dog is commonly used to law enforcement and guiding those without site, but its aggressive side when it has not been raised right has led to it being banned in over six countries. Due to the unpredictable nature of the Dogo Argentino, it is considered a big risk by insurance companies.
20. Jack Russell Terrier
Jack Russells are little adventurers, but that energy can be hard to handle. If you don’t tired them out a Jack Russell might tear up your house. They also don’t enjoy rough play, so if a kid pokes them, they may bite back to get the space they need. These dogs need plenty of time and attention.
21. Shih Tzu
People don’t recommend the families adopt a Shih Tzu, since this breed has a sensitive defense mechanism, making them easily scared or overexcited, which can lead to unwarranted bites. They also need someone around at most times, otherwise can develop severe separation anxiety which worsens this behavior.
22. Weimaraner
This breed was once a hunting dog, and they have lots of energy, meaning it takes a while to tire them out. When they’re not tired out, they might knock over kids, get bored, and get very needy when it comes to exercise and physical activities. They might even tear up the house if you don’t mind their needs.
23. Japanese Tosa
The Japanese Tosa is a rare dog, and if you haven’t heard of them, that’s probably why. The Tosa has historically been bred as a fighting dog, but surprisingly, they’re more fearless and aggressive towards people than they are to dogs.
24. Rhodesian Ridgeback
The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a majestic dog. It used to track lions in South Africa, and unfortunately has a bad rep for attacking kids when let loose. If there’s any chance that your Ridgeback can break free of its leash or hop over a fence (which is likely given their size and strength), chaos can ensue.
25. Dalmatians
You might not see too many of these spotted Disney dogs around town, and that’s because their behavior can be tough to control. This dog has frenetic, high levels of energy that it needs to release frequency. If not given that attention, expect a problem with behavior.
Dogs are the best. They will do anything for you and protect you with their very lives if the need should arise. They’re a different story when you’re in a relationship, though. They’ll often get overly protective and territorial, trying to claim your love above your partner’s. One of the clear signs of this is the dog jumping you when you hug your partner. But where does this behavior come from, and what does it mean?
Dogs jumping you is actually pretty easy to explain. While we may think that hugging is nice for dogs, most dogs don’t consider it to be natural or even fun behavior. While for us it’s calming and a sign of intimacy, for dogs it’s someone hovering over you and grabbing your entire body with their full weight. Does that sound romantic or threatening to you? Yeah, it’s bad for dogs too. And that’s why hugging isn’t a natural way for dogs to show affection.
The secret of survival for many animals lies in their strength and size, while others rely on the ability to remain unnoticed. A vast number of animal species live on our Pale Blue Dot, some of which are worthy weird as hell and deserve a closer look. Take translucent animals, for example. How are these things not from a different planet? Their futuristic appearance is kind of similar to the cloaking technology from the movie “Predator” and makes them look like they’re made of glass.
1. Tortoise Beetle
You can find several types of these beetles all over the world, but they all have one thing in common — a translucent shell with dark spots.
2. Translucent Sea Cucumber
This bizarre organism crawls on the bottom of the ocean, sucking in every bit of edible material it can find with it’s short tentacles. It’s like an ocean Roomba!
3. Glass Squid
There are over 50 different species of these barely visible fellas. Cranchiidae, also known as glass squids, spend most of their lives chilling in the upper layers of the ocean, trying to camouflage themselves.
4. Transparent Amphipod Phronima
This tiny shrimp’s body size is only 2 cm, but this does not prevent it from being a brutal predator. Due to its perfect body, the shrimp is like a ninja in the water — an unseen killer that slays its prey with sharp claws.
5. Cyanogaster
This little fish was discovered just a few years ago in the Amazon River. As you can see, it has nothing to hide.
Bioluminescence, aka ability of living organisms to emit light, is one of the most spectacular natural phenomena out there. Animals who were lucky enough to have this awesome feature use it not only to show off, but also to perform various biological functions, like camouflaging, scaring off predators, or communicating.
Prepare to meet ten spectacular animals glowing, blinking, and shimmering with wondrous colors.
1. Fireflies
There are more than two thousand species of these little bugs, most of which can be found in tropical and subtropical zones. Different species of fireflies emit light of different colors: yellow, green, or red. Some beetles can glow continuously, others blink, and there are those that can adjust the brightness depending on external factors.
2. Jellyfish
The South Sea, dotted with thousands of shimmering jellyfish in the night, can match even a starry summer sky. Jellyfish use this feature to satisfy our aesthetic senses and, more importantly, to lure and hunt various small organisms, such as protozoa and crustaceans.
3. Brazilian glowing shark
The abdomen of the Brazilian glowing shark emits a bright green fluorescent light, which makes this predator less visible when viewed from below, masking the shark from its prey. It is curious that the shark poses danger not only to smaller fish but also to submarines.
4. The flashlight snail
Also known as Hinea brasiliana, this snail lights up with a blue-green light when in danger. While other snails can only emit dim flashes from the head area, Hinea brasiliana sparkles like vampire during the day or, you know, a powerful flashlight.
Chameleons Holding Tiny Weapons Is The Best Thing To Come Out Of 2020
Michigan resident Emma Ward has a cute chameleon named Olive. It knows how to camouflage itself, shoot out that super-long tongue, and enjoy a sheltered life in general. As it often happens to peace-loving creatures, they get bullied by other, more aggressive species. So one day, Olive decides she’s had enough of this tranquil life and takes up her ancestral blade – the Clutch – to go out there, gather an army, and defeat the evil lizard. I mean wizard.
This is Olive, and she’s ready to cut the bad guys down.
2. Her halberd is even more imposing.
3. But this… this sword-gun seems to be a perfect fit for both close and ranged combat. Very smart, lizard!
Thai Lady Turned Her Cat Yellow Trying To Save Its Life!
What would you do if you found out that your cat’s recently hurt paw got infected? Call an Uber and get his furry butt to the ER in the nearest vet clinic? Or google “what voodoo powder to use to stop the fungal infection from spreading”? The choice is obvious, but not for Tammapa, apparently.
Tammapa Supamas, a resident of Thailand, found signs of fungal infection on her cat and decided to cure it using a natural remedy she found on the Internet. By the way, don’t try this at home, please. You should always consult with a vet specialist in cases like this.
Russian Girl Adopts Cute Lynx Kittens And Becomes An Internet Sensation
Anastasia loves animals, especially cats, but she couldn’t justify getting a furry feline friend, since she already had eight dogs and three horses. However, one day she started looking for a type of cat that would not mind having all those doggos around him or her. Imagine a tiny, terrified kitten sharing an apartment with a big husky and even bigger Samoyed. Yeah, desperate times require desperate measures!
When she discovered that there were still fur farms where lynxes were raised for their fur, she knew what had to be done. The cat lady decided to adopt the helpless animals and is now sharing their mischievous shenanigans on her Instagram. Anastasia named the first lynx kitten Geralt, after the main character of “The Witcher” series. He’s just as adventurous as his book counterpart, and even more fierce when it comes to hunting frozen chicken for dinner.
Goran Anastasovski’s Phenomenal Photos Of Wild Animals
The animal world is breathtaking, exciting, and amazingly diverse. Humans have lived on the planet for thousands of years, but we are still unfamiliar with most of the creatures that we share our living quarters with. Every now and then, the media will report that scientists have discovered a brand new species of bugs, birds, fish, and other the fauna. At the same time, we’ve successfully and effortlessly destroyed or at least catastrophically thinned out countless animal species. Today, this topic should be taken more seriously than ever. More and more people are doing whatever they can to help protect the wild animals, even something as unimpressive as taking photos of majestic beasts in the zoo.
Goran Anastasowski is a famous photographer, whom the British newspaper Daily Mail aptly christened the “king of the camera.” He knows a thing or two about wildlife photography and nature in general and has been making stunning portraits of wild animals around the world for years. From giraffes and horses to lions and monkeys – Goran loves taking pictures of all of them.
Speaking of lions, this photographer from Macedonia has recently shown a particular interest in big felines and has been photographing leopards, lions, tigers, and other murderous kitties in all their glory for more than ten years. According to Goran, these cats have everything a person aspires to: love, courage, sincerity, and loyalty. He believes that wild animals have the capacity to show the same emotions as humans, and in his photos, he tried to capture that eerily familiar essence.
Let’s take a look at some of his most incredible shots.
Ah, cats – furry little devils, the destroyers of everything that can be moved with their tiny paws of destruction. We just can’t get enough of them. No, seriously, how many cats are too many? They are living pretty much everywhere they want, and whoever feeds them gets to pet them and listen to the purring sounds of feline tranquility. That is, of course, if the cat feels like doing so.
But what if I told you that house cats are also highly spiritual animals? In ancient Egypt, they were revered to as gods, and even today, they like overseeing temples, churches, mosques, and other places of worship. Or maybe they just hang out there for warm shelter and free food, we can’t say for sure. Well, now there’s one more good reason to visit these shrines!
1. Carmina from Washington National Cathedral. She’s like a little Batman, so cute!
2. And this is a kitty from a mosque in Istanbul.
3. That looks like an Orthodox church, doesn’t it?
4. Here’s another cutie from Istanbul, this time from the Hagia Sophia.
5. It’s like he’s asking God for a life full of tasty treats.
6. This dude just has no chill. The cat obviously doesn’t care, though.
