Welcome To Rabbit Island!

by Laurie Kay Olson

Okunoshima is an island in the inland Sea of Japan in the Hiroshima prefecture and, despite its dark past, is now known more commonly as Usagi Jima, or Rabbit Island. The island is a tourist destination and sports a hotel, golf course, hiking trails, and campgrounds. One of the real draws of the island is the hundreds of feral but friendly rabbits that have the run of the island.

Who says that black cats are unlucky? Janet Rawlinson is one lucky woman and she has a black cat to thank for it. Her normally aloof two-year-old puss, Tomcat Slinky Malinki, went out of his way to save her life after she collapsed on the floor of their home, drifting in and out of consciousness.

Lanai Bayne is a photographer on the rise. His wildlife photos are wonderful, though he will be the first to say that he is not yet at the point he wants to be with his photography. While National Geographic is not (yet) on his doorstep, every time he picks up his camera he tries to push his own boundaries to get to the next level. The main thing is that he is living the dream.

Wayward Caiman Caught In Toronto Park Pond

by Creature Features

Caimans are commonly associated with Cajuns, not Canadians, but recently one of these toothy crocodilians took the latter road – one far less traveled by members of its species.

Arctic Snowy Owls On Candid Camera In The Wild

by Ron Callari

If you're familiar with Falcon cams which document the life-cycle of baby chicks (like the YouTube video I recorded at 101 Hudson Street in Jersey City recently), you probable know how live-streaming can capture the live footage of wildlife in urban settings. But what about out in the wild? Seems like that would present even a greater challenge.

Enormous Grasshopper Gets Assist On James Rodriguez' World Cup Goal

by Creature Features

A large loco locust landed on James Rodriguez, just as the Colombian footballer was about to score his team's only goal in a crushing semifinal loss to Brazil. Give the insect-lebrity credit: it knew where the cameras would be pointed and made a beeline to share the spotlight.

Snoop Dogg Can't Understand Why Ibex Butt Heads

by Ron Callari

During a Jimmy Kimmel TV late show taping on June 30th, Snoop Dogg went all Jane Goodall over why ibexes butt heads. Except, instead of having studied the behavior of these magnificent animals like our favorite anthropologist did with monkeys, the rapper mistook his subjects for billy goats, rams and elks. But that's par for the course, since Snoop can't quite decide on how to describe himself either. . .
