You have to be a special kind of wild to want to have a murder kitty at your house, leashed up or no leash, no matter how tame you think it is. I mean, think about it… your average house cats have plenty of fight, are amazing hunters, and can throw down with the best of ’em, even though they’re domesticated and “friendly.” You take a wild cat species, even if bred in captivity, and those wild cat instincts don’t just disappear.

A rare, wild cat was spotted on film in Arizona — the first known sighting in the area in 50 years.

The ocelot — an endangered animal twice the size of a typical house cat — was seen creeping in front of a field camera in the Atascosa Mountains, pausing and looking right into the camera with shining eyes. 

The spot-covered big cat was filmed in June — but it was only discovered last month when staff with Phoenix Zoo’s Atascosa Complex Wildlife Study reviewed all its footage.

One of Utah’s most well-known geological features has collapsed. The Double Arch, which has also been known as the “Toilet Bowl,” “Crescent Pool,” and the “Hole in the Roof,” was formed within 190-million-year-old Navajo sandstone by rain and wind erosion, the National Park Service (NPS) explained.
The cause of the collapse is currently unclear, though the NPS believes it was likely caused by wind and rain erosion, which has caused fragments of the stone to chip and break off—a phenomenon we call spalling. Unfortunately, these geological features can have very limited life spans, depending on the severity of the weather in...

If you need a side mirror removed from your car, I know a bear…. That service isn’t really needed all that much, but if you did ever want to have the outer piece of your car removed, there’s a natural way of doing so.
