At some point during the second quarter, a black cat ran onto the field during a play, causing officials to stop gameplay while they tried to corral it. However, they quickly realized that this was not going to be an easy task. The cat rapidly zigged and zagged its way across the field, avoiding capture from not one but two policemen and several state troopers. The Frenzied Feline Scores a Touchdown Kevin Harlan, the sports broadcaster, gave excellent commentary and a play-by-play of the cat’s moves....

The Burmese python has a massive, bulky body. It has two distinct lines that cross each eye on the head, running horizontally, and is dark brown with beige spots. The python is regarded as a primordial snake, different from numerous other species in that it has two working lungs and vestiges of its hindquarters. These skeletal remnants along either side of the cloaca resemble spurs. Incredible footage found on Youtube (linked below) showcases one of these gorgeous snakes in a battle for its life....

One area that’s deeply affected by the Mississippi’s flowage is the existing land in and around the Mississippi Delta on the outskirts of Louisiana. The tributaries that feed the Mississippi stretch from the Northern range of Glacier National Park, all the way east through the Great Smoky Mountains and into the southeastern corner of New York State....

People have lived in an uneasy state with them for thousands of years; because of extensive habitat loss and human hunting (most often in retaliation for killing livestock or sometimes for their fur), their numbers have dwindled greatly over time. They are now only found in the most isolated pockets of North America where humans are generally quite sparse. It is estimated that less than 100,000 wolves remain across the entire continent, most of which can be found in northern Canada and Alaska....

Your Cat Could Have Loose Fur on Its Tongue One of the reasons why a cat may leave its tongue out is if it has pieces of fur sticking to it. As we know, cats lick themselves quite often as a way of grooming and keeping clean. Their roughly textured tongues can pick up a lot of fur in the process and some of that fur may get stuck there. If this is the case, then it would make sense that your cat would leave its tongue hanging out since it is uncomfortable....

The yellow-bellied watersnake (Nerodia erythrogaster) occupies many of the same habitats as the water moccasin (Agkistrodon piscivorus), yet the two behave in very different ways. They also hunt different creatures, and only one of them has a mouth complete with two long, hollow fangs capable of delivering dangerous venom. Here, we’ll learn all about the differences and similarities between cottonmouths and yellowbelly watersnakes, starting with their looks. Then, we’ll compare their habitats, behaviors, and unique diets....

But what are the odds of an 18-month-old rescue puppy ringing the family doorbell on its own after being lost the whole day?

What Is a Masiakasaurus? The Masiakasaurus is a genus of noasaurid theropod dinosaur that lived about 72.1 to 66 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous period. They were small predatory dinosaurs located in Madagascar and their name in Malagasy means “vicious lizard”. The first bones discovered from this species were several parts of a skull, the humerus, hindlimbs, and its distinctive teeth. With the currently recovered fossils, it is believed that two forms of the Masiakasaurus existed, with one being more agile and one being bulkier and heavily built....

In a short TikTok clip, we get to see just how disparate different animals can be, even within the same species. The clip begins with a group of tigers being kept in a pen, probably at a zoo. At first glance, these tigers look massive, as they probably are! The average male tiger can reach up to 680 lbs, although most are closer to 300-400 lbs. In the clip, it’s likely that most of the tigers we see are around the average weight of a tiger....

However, this doesn’t mean it can support life, as you’ll see below. At the same time, it is surrounded by sulfuric acid clouds....

They primarily hunt by remaining inconspicuous for as long as possible as they get closer to their victim. The lioness has an additional benefit over the male in that their leaner bodies enable them to hide in the grass for a longer period of time. When hunting, lionesses cooperate by encircling their prey while keeping them hidden. But ultimately the prey will hear or see the lion coming, and then it will be a pursuit for them both....
