Dogs playing with sprinklers. Looks like they are having a blast. Irrigation sprinklers are sprinklers used on farms, golf courses, and yards, to provide water to vegetation and plants in the event of drought. They may also be used for recreation, as a cooling system, or to keep down the amount of airborne dust.
Just like humans, cats love to have fun at their birthdays, they notice the attention and enjoy it more or less. They celebrate it in many ways but you know the drill, no matter what you do some things are required to mark that day. There’re no many of those, just like a couple of [...]
That rabbits like to hop is hardly a secret. But now European rabbit enthusiasts have harnessed their bunnies’ natural talents to create a new spectator sport… rabbit showjumping.
Invented in Sweden in the early Eighties, Kaninhop involves bunnies bouncing their way around courses consisting of several small jumps of varying height and length.
Snoopy, a black-and-white bunny from the German city of Jena, is the star of the local Kaninhop club – and he makes spends his days leaping over all manner of barricades, jumps and rails.
After an unprecedented flooding in Pakistan in 2010 endangered lives of many, millions of spiders climbed into trees to escape the rising floodwaters. The water took so long to recede, the trees became covered in a cocoon of spiderwebs. The result is an odd, alien-like panorama, with any vegetation covered in a thick mass of webbing. Here are a few shots of the region.
Hands can do more than paws? Think again! This beautiful Jack Russell Terrier named Jesse can perform more chores than majority of the human kind. He helps around the house as much as he can and he seems to love it, with treats as rewards of course. He can clean things up, take off shoes and clothes, put it all in the washing machine and then follow up with a massage. A dog from your dreams eh?
This is a collection of cats found on the streets, in kennels, vivarums or shelters where they were left alone, at the worst case for euthanization. It is amazing how a bit of love and patience can make incredible miracles, turning sad, street cats into beautiful, happy and true companions.
Most animal lovers would be happy to have a dog or a cat as their lovely companion, but someone has taken a step further and adopted a bear. Anderson first befriended the bear in 2002 when young Brutus’ wildlife park became overpopulated. Before the cub had to face a lose-lose fate of captivity or death, Anderson adopted him and opened a sanctuary so Brutus could “act like a real bear.”
Of course, “real bears” don’t usually eat at kitchen tables and swim in lap pools. But according to Anderson, they do experience human-level emotions, sometimes even shedding tears. Anderson’s relationship with his furry surrogate son spawned his mission to dispel false “man eater” stereotypes about Grizzlies…
You can see all these incredibly trained birds in China, on their miniature “Olympic” games, more of a circus though. All these parrots are very unusual. They participated in the Bird Sports Meeting showing their personal best in weightlifting, skating, rolling, acrobatics and other sports. The crowd surely looks excited and there’s no reason for them not to be, these birds rock!
In order to collect the letters of the alphabet, the photographer Kjell Sandved spent many years chasing the right symbols. The fact is that all these letters were photographed on the wings of butterflies which don’t often have letter-like shapes on them. This required a lot of effort and patience, it looks beautiful and you should really see it.
