The sheep that saved an elephant...

Elephant calf is orphaned. After rescue, he refuses to eat. As a last ditch effort, the rescuers bring in a sheep as a companion. Things don't go well at first, but soon they are inseparable...

Horse saved from frozen canal

I can't believe that this horse survived. He was in the frozen water for hours, and the water actually froze around him.

Fennec hunts scorpion

Fennec hunting a scorpion. This fox reminds me of my puppy, the way he runs all over so excitedly. The scorpion takes entirely too long to die. Sucks to be eaten alive...

Gull swallows plastic bag

Tragic. Unfortunately I do admittedly use a lot of plastic bags. I have cats, and I use them for cleaning litter boxes. If someone can give me a realistic option, I would be happy to all but eliminate plastic bags from my life as much as reasonably possible...

Bureaucracy leads to death of 300,000 chicks and broilers

A Russian video. The blurb on TYWIKIWIDBI where I found the video states:
Found at English Russia, where this incident in the Kursk region was blamed on delinquent taxes and a convoluted bureaucracy. "The employees are putting to death one-day old chickens with tears. 'It’s as if a mother killed her child', – poultry-women explain their feelings."
If only they really did quickly put them to death. What they did was leave them to die.
