Cute Orphaned Baby Elephant and Giraffe Are The Best of Friends
http://www.onegreenplanet.org/news/cute-orphaned-baby-elephant-and-giraffe-are-the-best-of-friends/

Kiko, the now one-month-old baby giraffe, was found abandoned in Kenya’s Meru National Park when he was just one week old. Too small to make it on his own, Kiko was lucky enough to have been rescued and brought to the incredible people at the http://http//www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/ (DSWT)

Loboito the baby elephant also featured in this video arrived at DSWT last week, orphaned at only three weeks old. It is difficult to say http://http//www.onegreenplanet.org/news/orphaned-elephant-gets-the-chance-to-raise-her-baby/ or to the rest of his herd, but with no one to care for him he would have died alone in the wild.

Sweet!

In a Russian zoo, the veterinarians sent a goat into a tiger cage, in order to improve the hunting skills of the tiger, and, then, they became friends

Remember pictures of birds on our balcony that I posted on previous page? (#1594))
This is what they look like now! It's unbelievable how fast they grow. They can already fly. One of them kept bumbing on the balcony door because he wanted to get inside :D I tried to scare him by waving hands and knocking on the door but the little brat wasn't afraid of me at all They are so cute!

Hmmmmmm. I wonder how much it ate to grow that much, that fast

They eat other birds! they are known for killing pigeons and sparrows! :nb)

What a cuuute dog. he looks like a toy :D I want one of those :kiss:

I guess most dogs love popsicles. It's always so hard to eat it with my dog nearby. She usually gets about a quarter of it :p (I don't let her lick it of course, I only break bits of it. But I know a lady who let's her husky lick the ice cream and then she eats it)

My dog passed away on Fathers' Day just outside the Animal Emergency Clinic before we could get her inside. I really miss Sugar Bear.

Sugar Bear on a happy day, Homecoming 2009. My kids were in the parade.

Humpback whales around the globe are rescuing animals from orcas?
http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/an...globe-are-mysteriously-rescuing-animals-orcas

After witnessing one of these events himself back in 2009, Robert Pitman was compelled to investigate further. He began collecting accounts of humpback whales interacting with orcas, and found nothing short of 115 documented interactions, reported by 54 different observers between 1951 and 2012. The details of this surprising survey can be found in the journal Marine Mammal Science.

In 89 percent of the recorded incidents, the humpbacks seemed to intervene only as the killer whales began their hunt, or when they were already engaged in a hunt. It seems clear from the data that the humpback whales are choosing to interact with the orcas specifically to interrupt their hunts. Among the animals that have been observed being rescued by humpback whales were California sea lions, ocean sunfish, harbor seals, and gray whales.

That doesn't surprise me. After all we are only another animal, although I prefer to call myself a dry-nosed primate. Why shouldn't we share our properties with other animals? Over time almost each habit of ours has been detected in other species: crows and chimps lie, the latter even murder, keas are curious regardless how old they are, dolphins sometimes protect others, many animals are astonishingly smart, and so on.

A site with true stories about people helping poor animals get a better life.
WARNING: contains pictures of sick and abused animals! (then good people save them and they are healed)
https://www.thedodo.com/
I found the site accidentally while searching for something else. While the stories are nice and finished in happy endings, I can't read them anymore as it's too stressful for me. But maybe someone will find it interesting.

A couple of days ago I found a feathered friend standing next to my mail box when I got home...

He then flew up and landed on my pickup for a while...

He stayed there around 5 minutes before my neighbor drove by and he flew away.

Birds are amazing. A symbol of freedom. I'd like to have one, but when I researched I saw they are very demanding pets and I wouldn't be able to provide them with proper care :-/

At the time I wished I had a piece of meat I could've tossed out the window for him, but he took me completely by surprise. It was all I could do to get some pics of him. I'm not exactly sure of the species, but he appeared to be a bird of prey.
I have a lot of respect for people who practice Falconry, it would be a great responsibility to care for a bird like that, as you say. Seeing him reminded me of the hawk David from the original Gunslinger book by Stephen King.

I have recently read the following.

People with a dog:
He's half British Spaniel, 1/4 French Basset Hound, 1/8 Tibetan Magic Flower and his ancestors won WWII.

People with a cat:

Last week, I was leaving work. Driving a long the main road I was watching the sprinkler system watering one of the lawns near the road. I saw something on the sidewalk, and as I approached, I notice a juvenile hawk with his wing spread standing on the sidewalk taking a shower under two water jets from the sprinklers. It had quite an expression on its face. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop for traffic, and even if I had been able to park, I'm sure he/she would have flown away. Furthermore, we're not supposed to approach wildlife. I would have need a camera with a telephoto lens, which was at home.
