Sliding glass doors are incredibly fragile. I learned this at a young age when a cousin of mine ran full speed into one and shattered it in front of the entire family. That event evidently left an indelible mark on me because I would never be able to get comfortable with my pet in a […]

Friendly Cat Had No Clue How Close It Was To Being Eaten By A Mountain Lion Trying To Get Through A Glass Door

Bellingham, WA

A man has been fined $1,000 after a nearby wildlife videographer caught him illegally driving his 51-foot recreational vessel through a pod of orca, also known as killer whales. Matt Ryan from Bellingham, Washington in the U.S. has agreed to pay the civil penalty after the wildlife videographer filmed him...

My brain can almost not compute this…

Great white sharks are obviously one of the most feared predators on planet Earth. They reach 20 feet long, 5,000 pounds, and have a mouthful of razor sharp teeth that can bite with a mindboggling 18,216 Newtons of force. For reference, a pit bull’s bite is around 1,045 and an alligator’s is around 16,000.

They can swim at speeds of up to 25 mph, go down to depths of 3,900 feet, and have no known natural predators, other than on very rare occasions orcas, meaning pretty much no sea creature is safe anywhere in the ocean…

And if all their underwater measurables weren't enough, they can breach the surface and send themselves soaring through the air, reaching heights of over 10 feet.

Their breaching behavior is extremely hard to document since they use it as a tactic to hunt seals, which makes this footage even more astounding.

A videographer captured a monster great white breaching near the shoreline in Mossell Bay, South Africa while chasing a seal decoy used by scientists to monitor the behavior of the killing machine.

Don’t think I’ll be swimming in South Africa anytime soon…

I'll be honest: I just discovered this classic video and I can't stop watching it. A few years ago, the Peninsula Open Space Trust's (POST) wildlife cameras captured the cutest unlikely animal friend pair: a coyote and a badger, hanging out together in the San Francisco Bay Area. They posted the video to X, where it proceeded to go completely viral and warm the hearts of everyone on the internet.

Death-by-gator is not the way to go.

Fortunately, these baby raccoons that were dangerously traversing through Florida everglades narrowly avoided becoming lunch. As you'll see in the clip below, the little creatures were more occupied with the boat that was driving by, and the distraction almost cost them their lives.

Someone that was on an airboat tour at Everglades Holiday Park (they call their airboat tours "world famous" on their website) was just trying to take a cute video of two little raccoons in the swampy water. And in doing so, they accidentally captured a real-life horror movie.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

So close, but so far...

Mako sharks are apex predators who terrorize their ocean prey with their speed and power. Found up and down both coasts of the United States, and down into the Caribbean, over near Hawaii, and pretty much everywhere in between, these predators can reach lengths of 12 feet, and weigh up to 1,000 pounds. They use their razor sharp teeth to eat tuna, swordfish and squid, and with a top speed of over 45 miles per hour, they are the fastest of any shark species.

Their insane speeds also allow them to make some incredible leaps, coming fully out of the water. Sounds like a sport fisherman’s dream, right? Well... until they take your catch.

For a group of anglers off the coast of the California, the tax man came in August. The group was hooked into a bluefin tuna near San Diego, reeled it to the boat, gaffed it, and out of nowhere, a big ol' mako shark came to snag a bite.
