Elephant with men vs. rhino

Men on elephant on an anti-poaching run encounter an aggressive rhino...

Cat vs. Gator

A cat faces down a gator and runs it off. I'm guessing that this is at a gator farm.

Bird eats eel-- twice

I don't know where this place is, as I don't know where there are eels in a pond. The bird sort of looks like a cormorant or something. The bird actually gets the eel a good ways down, and then loses it and gets it a second time.

See? I'm always saying that toasters shouldn't be left plugged in when not in use. That goes for toaster ovens, too...

Chimp with smoking habit rescued

Omega, a chimp at a zoo in Lebanon, has been rescued by animal rights activists after they learned of his smoking habit. I would think that his smoking habit would be the least of their concerns. Looking at his living conditions, I would think that smoking was about the only pleasure he had in his life.
