Not only for fun for fun, but as these vids are so astonishing I would like to share them with you, if you do not know them already.

1. Battle at Kruger National Park - what can happen if lions want to steal a baby buffalo


2. Advanced hunting methods of antarctic orcas


3. Finally: fun (or the essential question if pets do need a psychiatrist)

I've seen that first video before -- but it is certainly worth seeing again. So amazing. Tears running down my face.

IKat, two amazing videos!
I haven`t seen the horse rescue before, I was really touched by it. And the starlings flight formations are so impressive and beautiful. The music in the videos fit very nicely.
Thank you for sharing :wave:

Thank you Lussi :wave:


When I was a little girl (eons ago) I always wanted to be a fireman.....but, since I was a girl it was not to be. Firemen (and now women) still hold a special place in my heart, especially when I see photos like these...Bless you all for your kindness and compassion for the wee ones......

From the Youtube description:

"For the first time in their lives two dozen recently rescued ducks get their first taste of life in a pond. They had been living for years with a hoarder who had them in pens without adequate access to water or proper nutrition."





Amazing how reluctant the ducks were at first, then they start going "Hey! Woo! This is great!"

Poor,poor ducks and it seems their feathers weren't prepared (like in 'normal' ducks ) Some seemed to get the feathers all wet,not normal for ducks but then if they had never lived as they should... :puzzled:
