Soldier Dogs Deserve Same Rights As Humans When Serving Our Military

Dissimilar to their human masters, dogs don't enlist in the U.S. Military -- they're drafted. And while they have no say in the matter, all of these four-legged recruits take their responsibilities very seriously. Military Working Dogs (MWDs) are however still formally considered 'military equipment' versus the co-species in arms that they really are. But all that might change with the new bipartisan Canine Members of the Armed Forces Act if Congress would only act.

Russian Stray Dogs Commute To Forage For Food

Dogs are smarter than a lot of people give them credit for and their observations of the humans around them can help them survive when humanity seems to have given up on them. In Moscow stray dogs have begun living in the "suburbs" and hopping the subway each morning to commute to the city to go to work.

"It's Pretty Weird!" The Sci-Fi Animal Video of the Day!!!

I have a huge fondness for Space: 1999.  Was it cheesy?  Oh, most certainly.  But it had some great sets, great effects (for the time--and they still hold up), and the occasional great monster.  The images of this critter have stayed in my noggin for 30+ years.  And as silly as it is... it rocks...

Giant Pandas Traumatized By Giant Chinese Earthquake

A devastating earthquake in China's mountainous Sichuan province not only shattered human lives, homes and area infrastructure, it left dozens of endangered Giant Pandas at the region's panda centers shaken in more ways than one.

Race Runner Rammed By Bison! (Videos)

Let’s say you’re jogging in a marathon and you see a 1,500lb bison in the path. Do you go well around the behemoth? Or do you try to annoy the beast so that it will wander off into the wilderness? If you choose the latter, you’re going to have a bad time…

English Hotel Rents Goldfish To Guests

There is something delightfully tranquil and relaxing about watching a goldfish swimming around its bowl. It is so. . . Zen. Ommmmm. Traveling can be just the opposite as you deal with airports, trains, taxis, crowds, luggage -- well, you get the idea. Now one hotel in Dutton, Cheshire, England is offering guests the chance to de-stress by renting a goldfish for £5 a night.

What is Bubble Netting? Watch the Animal Video of the Day to Find Out!!!

I think that its odd that one of the largest mammals on the planet eats one of the smallest creatures in existence: krill.  Krill are essentially tiny shrimp.  And whales thrive on these little critters.  But how do they catch them?

Man Busted For Attempting To Sell Alligator Via Craigslist!

You can sell a whole bunch of things over the internet: an original Walrus Man Star Wars action figure, lion burgers, dinosaur fossils, but nationally protected wildlife isn’t one of them…

At Least He Didn't Go Swimming -- The Animal Video of the Day!!!

I have a pool--and it looks very similar to this one, only I have a fenced in backyard.  I have a raccoon problem, and some stray cats.  But nothing like this...

'Big Year' Birders Count More Than Four & Twenty Blackbirds [Videos]

Some think of a "big year" as one that marks a significant birthday or anniversary -- giving cause for a grand celebration. Others in the birding world use that term to denote a very different milestone entirely. A big year for birders is when serious bird-watchers get even more serious by dedicating 12 months of their lives to seeking out and counting bird species. 

Woofstock: Pees, Love, and Walk and Stroll

Unlike the original Woodstock back in the summer of love, 1969, Woofstock is not a single event. It is a series of local events held across North America. Each Woofstock is an event dedicated to raising funds for a local shelter or rescue organization that works with dogs. It is a day of fun and frolic for dog lovers and their pooch pals.

When The Crow Became The Leader & Kemo Sabe, The Sidekick [Video]

The "crow" signified wisdom to the Native American Indian. Believed to have the faculty of speech, the crow was perceived as a "pathfinder" on hunting parities, and to adorn oneself with crow's feathers was a trend adhered to by a number of tribes. To stuff an actual crow and wear it as a headdress, however, has no historical antecedent in American Indian lore. That was -- until an American actor, with Indian heritage envisioned a new "Tonto" for the 21st Century.

Train Your Terrier To Tune In For DOGTV! (Video)

Although man’s best friend will need a little help setting up the TV, the new DOGTV channel will keep your furry pals occupied whenever you have to leave the house without them. But what exactly is DOGTV and why would it get Bowser’s attention anyway?
