Big Bird Of Africa Takes GoPro Camera To New Heights

by Ron Callari

Can't go too far these days without seeing a GoPro camera filming something unique up close and personal. Skiers and snowboard athletes took it to the Sochi slopes for the recent Winter Olympics. Amateur photographers have captured roller-coaster rides and hot airplane balloon flights using it. And while Ellen DeGeneres showed us a whole new way of taking a selfie. . .

If "Jesus Lizards" Came First, Might JC Have Learned How To Walk On Water From A Reptile?

by Ron Callari

Not to be sacrilegious, but if a lizard first appeared on the planet before the Old Testament and Jesus Christ didn't walk the earth (let alone water) until the New Testament, why is the common basilisk lizard named after him?

If you have never seen Patches the horse, then it is about time you did. Patches was an incredible horse with a penchant for hanging out with his owners, Robert and Herbert Thompson, and always seemed to want to go wherever they went.

by Creature Features

About a hundred stray and semi-feral cats roam the vermilion walkways of Beijing's 500-year-old Forbidden City. Descended from felines “employed” to keep the Chinese emperor's stomping grounds rat-free, these mainly white cats have less work to do these days and by the looks of it they're enjoying their retirement to the max.

Remember that old nonsense rhyme about The Owl and the Pussy Cat? The pair started out by going to sea together and ended with dancing by the light of the moon. In a case of life imitating art, Fum the cat and Gebra the barn owl are best friends and enjoy playing with one another as much as they can. There are times when it seems that they might be ready to attack one another, but it is all in fun.

Sure, the coconut rhinoceros beetle is a nasty-looking bug, but no one’s more prepared to keep them from invading Hawaii than the United States Navy! Will these destructive beetles get kicked out of Hawaii before it’s too late?
