How Animals (Sort of) Eat Their Food

Emerald Catron — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 21:33:54 +0000

You should probably watch this video. Especially if you need something absurd to turn your day around. This is about as ridiculous as it gets. It’s a man doing his impressions of how different animals eat their food. Really none of them are particularly accurate (we don’t recall ever seeing a bull just slam his [...]

After this article published, I was pleasantly surprised to get an email from Krissy, the young woman on the left in the photo (my right). I quickly remembered why I like and respect her. She is respectable and believes in what she is doing. Below is the text of her note along with a couple of links that I encourage you to follow so you can make your own judgment.

[onescreen item="5028595"] Sure, they could swim, but why not take a ride if it’s there? Whether it’s escaping from some voracious killer whales, showing off their military chops, or just snagging a free meal, these and other animals have learned the value (and enjoyment) of the occasional boat ride. Seals, otters, penguins, even a sloth [...]

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:47:49 +0000

We have no idea why, but animals are like, super talented when it comes to photography. Remember how they're master photobombers? That's just the beginning. Even though their talent is slightly greater than that of us humans, there are zero complaints on our end, because the result is always entertaining, adorable, strangely hilarious or all of the above.

The Adorable "War Cry" of the Namaqua Rain Frog

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 15:00:53 +0000

Supposedly this is the war cry of the Namaqua Rain Frog, but honestly, it’s not very intimidating. It seems to be more of a “cry for help” cry, the kind you make when things are about to turn ugly. Then again, we don’t know how anything could be as ugly as this frog… This squeaking [...]

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:25:13 +0000

Move over Chupacabra. There is a new nasty mid-sized predator called a Kinkajous wrecking havoc in Texas. And, unlike the mythical killer of goats and livestock, the Kinkajous is very real. Real but hard-to-pin-down species-wise. In fact, when homeowners first saw the creature terrorizing their cats with his razor-sharp teeth and running atop their roofs [...]

Carl Pettit — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:00:31 +0000

Man is widely considered to be the deadliest animal on the planet, mostly because it's hard to match the killing power of our guns and nuclear bombs. Even so, there are plenty of lethal predators out there that are more than willing to take us on and, if fortune favors these creates in battle, rip a chunk out of our flesh, or even end our lives.

Humans may share DNA with monkeys, but, if this report out of Indonesia is any indication, our primate cousins couldn’t care less. On Monday, a mob of approximately 10 wild monkeys went on a rampage in Toddang Pulu village in Sidenreng Rappang District, South Sulawesi and — get this — broke into homes and savagely [...]

Tom Blunt — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:00:53 +0000

The ocean’s a big place, but sometimes it can seem really crowded. These divers probably expected to see a few exotic fish â€”Â instead they stumbled across a pod of humpback whales, plus a few sharks.Â The haunting shapes seem to fill the ocean around the divers, who (as you can imagine) are overwhelmed nearly to [...]
