Not just up a hill, but an icy hill. They don't call them pull-horses, Trekpaard, for nothing! Amazing strength!...
Lizzie Hershberger's horses displayed an amazing amount of strength pulling this semi up an icy driveway on their southern Minnesota farm. Video shot by Craig Helgeson.
Knickers the steer has become a viral sensation...
Standing 6.4 feet tall, a giant Australian cow called 'Knickers' has been saved from the abattoir after being deemed too big to fit into the processing facility.
The seven-year-old Holstein Friesian steer who weighs 1,400 kilograms will spend the rest of his days with his herd on his owners Myalup property in Western Australia.
Knickers is thought to be Australia's largest cow.
That is one clever rabbit! And the way he plops down to take a break after all that digging... priceless.
Chasky the rabbit comes up with a genius solution to free his cat friend, Pelu. The fluffy pet quickly digs a hole near the shed for the cat to fit through at their home in Spain. After the bunny is done, it hops away and takes a well-deserved rest after the rescue effort. Pelu goes to thank his fluffy friend for the help when he finally gets out.
The sound effects alone was worth the watch of this experimental video with over 18M views, involving one mouse, some peanut butter, various sizes holes... and a shrew?...
Experimenting with how small a home a mouse is able to fit through. But it didn't go as planned. I had a lazy mouse, and a hard-working invading shrew.
Update: Two days later, the shrew squeezed itself through the 16.5 mm hole (See 2nd video)

Shrew squeezes through 16.5 mm hole, epic struggle
In my previous mouse video, I said the shrew never made it through the 16.5 mm hole. But two days after that video It actually did make it in there!
Wow. Using a 2-seater, fixed-wing lightweight aircraft aka a microlight (or ultralight) aircraft complete with camera, this amazing video captures a unique experience of what it's like to literally fly with the birds...
Amazing fligts !!! with birds and Christian Moullec on board a microlight.

Young harbor seal Kaya had an adorable encounter with a butterfly. Video by Oregon Zoo dive safety officer Micah Reese, who happened upon this inter-species game of chase in Steller Cove.
Whoa! Look at it jiggling around as it shakes off rainwater from its body while hovering in mid-air. Hummingbirds are such fascinating little creatures aren't they?...
Scientists have used a high-speed camera to film hummingbirds' aerial acrobatics at 1000 frames per second. They can see, frame by frame, how neither wind nor rain stop these tiniest of birds from fueling up.
Shush! She's trying to have a conversation on the phone, lol. Perhaps the dog was practising 'And I will always love you...' Too cute. This hilarious video has over 1M views after being uploaded in late May...
Whoa! One just crawled up that guy! And we thought WE had it bad... even though we could use something like this vigilante group right now in some parts of Canada...
Rats aren't only a part of New York City’s underground — they're an inseparable part of its pop culture. There’s Master Splinter from the Ninja Turtles, Pizza Rat, and even Cannibal Rat. But for every celebrity rat, there’s another 250,000 to 2 million anonymous rodents living in the city — and the city health department is fighting to bring down.
The battle can be deadly. Last year, three people in a Bronx city block contracted leptospirosis through rat urine. Only two survived.
To combat the problem, Mayor Bill de Blasio launched a $32 million initiative to rid New York of its signature rodents, concentrating on hyper-infested areas that the city describes as "rat reservoirs."
Multiple city agencies are currently focusing their efforts around public housing buildings, where they plan to replace dirt basement floors, block passageways and amp up trapping, baiting and poisoning efforts.They also apply dry ice to the rats’ burrow systems, effectively suffocating them as the carbon dioxide gets released while the ice melts.
But if all else fails, a small group of dedicated rat hunters are ready to step in.
VICE News
When dusk settles, Richard Reynolds and his vigilante rat hunters known as “The Ryders Alley Trencher-Fed Society” — or R.A.T.S for short — roam lower Manhattan’s streets and dumpsters, keeping their dogs’ instincts sharp and the hunting tradition alive.
In the three decades Richard has been hunting rats with his dogs, he says he must have killed thousands of rats. But he doesn’t really keep track.
A hunter through and through, he only counts the ones that get away.
It's always heartbreaking to watch the beginning of these rescues - but the endings are always so s-weet!. The video has been viewed over 1M times in just a few days...
Rain was scared and expressed it in a way that I have never heard in my life! Her cry was heartbreaking, and I am so happy that Carey Linnell called Hope For Paws and asked for help.
Her ears were eaten by flies, her coat was filthy, and I can't imagine what caused her to be so fearful.
Loreta Frankonyte was able to secure her, calm her down, and I initiated the first contact while Loreta was ready to pull her away from me if needed. Rain never did anything aggressive, she allowed me to touch her and along with Carey, we gained her trust and got her into the crate and from there to the hospital.

If a masked intruder broke into your home, would your dog attack or run away? Inside Edition put some dogs to the test to find out whether they would confront the burglar or wimp out.

Her owner, Michelle Kellaher, loves her dog but wonders whether Perry would save her in an emergency.
