Cobra safeguards 2 Puppies for 48 hours

I love animals and I hate that inhuman abuse! I read this story on the Facebook page of them.

Children are like angels, this is a dedication to all the humans who ill-treat their children on the basis of their gender/in-capabilities.

This happened in Punjab, India, were two pups fell by accident into a well,while playing with other siblings. The owner of the pups found 2 puppies missing in the group and later found the mother dog barking near a shallow well. To his surprise, he found the puppies in the well along with a King Cobra. They found that the Cobra which was supposed to be a threat for all animals including Man, was actually safeguarding the little pups from not getting drowned when the pups moved towards the danger area of the well.

This purely shows that, Cobra, which is supposed to be a dangerous animal to others also had the sense to know that the pups were merely Little creatures who are innocent and loving. Also, that perhaps the snake had the feelings to understand the love behind the the mother dogs bark.

People who gathered around din't have the courage to get into the well and save the pups because the snake was around. The puppies and the Snake remained in the well for 48 hrs, until the forest authority came and rescued the pups and the snake was released into the forest.

Lab chimps see the light of day for 1st time in 30 yrs.

VIENNA: This is the moment a group of chimpanzees see daylight for the first time in 30 years — after being locked in cages for medical testing. The animals hugged each other in delight before they took their first steps outside.

The apes embrace in a hug and smile before venturing out onto the grass together

The outing marked the end of a 14-year bid to re-integrate the 38 primates after they spent most of their lives cooped up inside. One commentator said: “They hugged as if saying, 'We're finally free'. And then they laughed.”
The chimpanzees were taken from their mothers shortly after their births and brought to a research facility in Austria.

A chimp grins widely as he explores grassy terrain after decades in captivity.

Scientists kept the animals in isolation and gave them HIV and hepatitis. Their ordeal finally ended in 1997 when the pharmaceutical company behind the research was sold
The chimps were moved to a farm where keepers tried to reintroduce them to life outside — but the process was not easy. The animals had spent so much time inside they were confused when shown patches of grass — and repeatedly threw them away.

A chimpanzee tentatively waits inside after a door is opened to his freedom.

The readjustment period took keepers more than a decade — implementing techniques that slowly made them comfortable venturing beyond their four wall
The lab chimps are now at the Gut Aiderbichl Animal Sanctuary, near Salzburg, Austria.

Seagull steals HD cam, films Cannes

Seagull 'steals' video camera and shoots footage of its soaring flight above French Riviera

The video begins with an unseen cameraman creeping through the garden of a large house at night, and then placing the camera on the ground.
An inquisitive seagull walks up to the camera and seemingly lifts it up with its beak, before flying off.

This Seagull stole a video camera and inadvertently shot a video of its flight over Cannes in the South of France

The cameraman can be heard making his protests with a rather feeble 'Hey. HEY!' but is not glimpsed as the gull files up above the streets and houses, with cars visible on the roads below.
After a short flight - punctuated by some rather amusing honks and squawks from the seagull - our star comes in to land on top of a building.
The gull pokes around at the camera with it's beak, turning it over a few times, before it settles on a view of another building with a fellow seagull visible - perhaps the leading lady in seagull circles.
The pair have a brief squawking session before the camera fades to black.
'Seagull stole my video camera in Cannes France. I found it on the castle wall, where I had to climb,' wrote opica1983, the YouTube user who posted the video online.
The question of quite how opica1983 knew where there camera had come to rest is unanswered.

Break Dancing Gorilla at the Calgary Zoo

Breakdancing zoo gorilla is a YouTube hit
WASHINGTON A gorilla caught on film “breakdancing” at a zoo in Canada has become an online star. Keepers at Calgary Zoo filmed eight-year-old Zola dancing in a puddle of water, reports the Calgary Sun.
They say he gets so excited about playing in water that he breaks out into spontaneous little dances. The clip, which has attracted 4,25,000 hits on YouTube, shows Zola splashing, spinning on one heel and stomping through the puddle.
Calgary Zoo spokeswoman Laurie Skene said the zoo was raising awareness about the plight of the highly-endangered Western Lowland gorillas. As part of that, a zoo' keeper took a video camera into the enclosure to capture some “gorilla stuff”.
“He told us that Zola likes to play in water and just caught this moment in time,” said Skene. “We had no idea it would gain such popularity — and in essence raise that much awareness.”

Baby penguin who can’t stop dancing caught on camera in Antarctica

Looking like the real-life star of animated film Happy Feet, the baby penguin tore up and down while his bemused friends looked on. The clip Happy Penguin Jumping was posted on YouTube three days ago and has already attracted thousands of views.

WaterFall that looks like FireFall at Yosemite National Park

Horsetail Fall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls on the North American continent, but it's only truly special for two weeks a year. The first firefalls of Yosemite Park were man made. Large fires were started atop Glacier Point and the red-hot embers were pushed down the granite wall, in the evening. It was a nice show of fireworks, until the fire hazard of the 1960s, when the dangerous practice stopped.

But that didn't mean Yosemite was left without a firefall, if anything, people got to discover a much more beautiful one. When the natural conditions are just right, tourists can enjoy a unique spectacle where water turns into burning fire. During the last two weeks of February, when the sun shines above Yosemite Valley, and water pours down the granite wall, the firefall phenomenon takes place. But because clouds and storms are common during the winter months, and sometimes California has dry years, Horsetail Firefall can only be witnessed rarely, and timing is of the essence.

The Park That Becomes Lake In Summer

The Alpine Park That Becomes Green Lake In Summer

Changing of the seasons: Above, how the park looks during the autumn and winter months with a shallow layer of water at its lowest part, and lower, divers flood in to explore the area in a totally different way in the summer.

The lake is a well-known hiking destination & water levels have been steadily rising over the year

A diver takes his own path through the country park, past an access road

This is the Green Lake in Tragoess, Styria, which sits at the foot of snow-capped Hochschwab mountains.
Throughout the frozen winter months the area is almost completely dry and is used as a county park. It is a particular favourite site for hikers. But as soon as the temperatures begin to rise in spring, the ice and snow on the mountaintops begins to melt and runs down into the basin of land below. The park fills up with ice-cold crystal clear water, which gets its distinctive green colouring from the grass and foliage beneath. The water levels rise from about one or two metres deep in the winter to as much as 10 metres in the late spring and early summer. The waters are at their highest in June when it becomes a mecca for divers keen to explore the rare phenomenon, before the waters recede at the end of July.
