On a hot day there’s nothing more relaxing than jumping straight into a pool of cool water. Keetawan Jemsuwun was cleaning her yard with her dog Terry when she stepped away to get a drink. She came back to her pup resting lifelessly in the garden pond. At first, she was worried that Terry had […]

That’s because the short-finned pilot whales had become caught in shallow water. Quick-thinking vacationers headed into the water in an attempt […]
With so many house pets entering animal rescues every year, it’s easy to forget about their wilder cousins. It’s not just cruel hunting practices that endanger our wildlife, though. People illegally take them in as pets, abuse them in circus acts, and trade them in the exotic animal market. In fact, this very live underground […]
Lots of animals have incredible powers that many people don’t know about — Mother Nature is truly amazing. For instance, watching an animal’s survival mechanisms in action can be simply astounding. Take the northern white-faced owl — he has a pretty rad defensive technique when he feels threatened by a predator. Watch as he changes […]
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); Animals in nature are truly spectacular things to witness. The wild is where they belong and where they thrive.

Cats are typically pretty independent creatures. They don’t really look to others for friendship or comfort…but when it happens, it’s pretty darn adorable. Thus is the case of this kitten, whose best friend is equally fluffy, but a little bit feistier. The cat and fox baby start wrestling, and it looks like they are trying […]
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); My dogs aren’t the smartest critters in the world, but they will do just about anything to get treats. I keep their various cookies, bones, and rawhides in a kitchen cabinet. Whenever that door creaks open, they come running. Before I can say “sit” or “shake,” they’re on their bottoms with […]
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); None of my dogs have ever learned how to play dead…but I’m sure if they did, they would use it to their advantage all the time. “Oh my god, Fido looks ill.
