When Edgar’s Mission discovered Frostie, he was a sweet little baby snow goat that just cried out for his mama. He was severely dehydrated, infested with lice and couldn’t walk. He was unable to use his hind legs because he was born with a life-threatening condition called joint navel ill. Joint navel ill is a disease […]
Scientists have discovered a new (and totally adorable!) species in the deserts of northwest Namibia: the round-eared sengi, A.K.A round-eared elephant shrew. An international team of experts led by John Dumbacher of the California Academy of Sciences discovered the disntinct differences between this round-eared little fella and his fellow sengi after an extensive six-year study.

Bali, a small island in Indonesia, has approximately 4.22 million people living on it. It also has over 400,000 homeless dogs, roaming the streets, falling ill and living a terrible life without love or stability. Animal rescue organizations like BARC (Bali Dog Adoption Rehabilitation Centre) have their work cut out for them. It’s not uncommon […]
I figured smuggling would be an interesting line of work, but I had no idea just how strange it actually was. It’s difficult enough to get perfectly legal foods across borders, so naturally trying to bring illegal things into a country is even harder. You can’t just slap a fake mustache on a bag of […]
Everyone starts out as an adorable baby. Everyone. But then puberty happens and you’re left with whatever the aftermath gives you to work with for the rest of your life.

At a 24-hour emergency animal hospital, lots of creatures come in needing help, not just dogs and cats. Sometimes people bring in injured wildlife. One night a large bald eagle (which they appropriately named Freedom)… and the vets weren’t expecting just how big this guy would be. He had a broken wing, they suspect from being […]
The cruelty that some people can show innocent animals can be bewildering. Three helpless litters of kittens were left to die in someone’s yard by an anonymous, cold-hearted person. Thankfully, the People And Cats Together group received a call about the abandoned animals and made it their goal to save them. Once on the scene, a person […]
When Porkchop was brought into One Tail At A Time in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Chicago, workers believed him to be approximately 6 years-old and fairly healthy. He seemed like a relatively normal case at first. It wasn’t until his foster mom took him to the vet for some urinary tract issues that she […]
Every year, starting in October, a town in northern Manitoba gets swarmed by the largest carnivore that is walking the Earth today. Over 900 polar bears arrive at this town after their summer hibernation. They may be adorable, but it mustn’t be forgotten that they’re also powerful killers. It might seem cool that so many […]
You know that awkward face your dog makes that’s a little too human for comfort? We may project our own human emotions on our cuddly ones, but sometimes you have to wonder what they think and why they react in certain ways. These animals are obviously in complete shock over what you just did. What […]
