In this sequence, which has already been viewed over two and a half million times, we join a group traveling in small wooden boats called Mokoros. Crocodile Encounter in a Narrow Channel At the start of the footage, we get a clear view of a narrow channel through some flooded marshland with birds on either side.

Have you ever wondered–why do dogs put their ears back? Dogs put their ears back for several reasons. They have been using this to display their emotion for decades. The meaning of each ear gesture is understood within their species. But as man’s best friend, dogs can use this to try and communicate with you too. Most canines can perk, flatten, or swivel their ears. However, dogs with cropped ears can have a limited way of moving their ears to communicate....
Sowing turnip seeds directly into your garden is the best way of growing turnips. They don’t transplant well, so starting these roots indoors is not recommended.

Otherwise, make sure you thin your seedlings no less than 5 inches apart, and enjoy the harvest in as little as 2 months!...

Thanks to video footage, we now have some idea of how these two apex predators would square up. A surfer in Australia’s Northern Territories saw the two animals. Drone footage from above captured the hunt as it intensified. The video begins with the crocodile swimming near the surface of crystal-clear water. You can see the shark below. Its outline is clear. The shark circles the crocodile a few times. Both are swimming near large rocks by the coast....

As the grizzly slowly approaches, we can see the unmistakable muscular hump between the shoulder blades. We can also note the ‘grizzled’ appearance of the fur. One of the calves gets up in time and bolts into the water to be with the mother....
White Rhinos and Thick Skin! The white rhinoceros was once on the verge of extinction but is a conservation success story. The population is now thought to be over 18,000, although they still need protection from hunters who prize their horns. Poachers and the illegal trade in rhino body parts are still a threat to this species. They are the second largest mammal in the world so it is strange to see them bothered by an animal as small as a tick and rescued by a pair of little turtles!...

Do you think you can survive there?...
Imagine strolling into a Christmas party, only to be greeted by your grandmother who quickly notices the image on your shirt; It’s the classic graphic of five hominids, each one gradually standing more upright than the last. It starts with a chimp and ends with the form of a human being. You wear this shirt because you think evolution is fascinating— it’s even a key aspect of your worldview. Your grandmother says, “So, you think we used to be monkeys, huh?...
What is Old Faithful? Old Faithful is a cone geyser located in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. It is one of nearly 500 geysers. Out of all 500 geysers, park rangers can only predict eruptions for six. Old Faithful is highly predictable and erupts every 44 minutes to two hours for over 20 years. This unique geothermal feature inspired Yellowstone to become the first national park in 1872. The Old Faithful is not the tallest or the largest geyser in the park, but it is mathematically reliable, with over one million eruptions recorded....

Dachshunds are energetic, loving, and intelligent. They are affectionally called sausage dogs, hotdogs, wiener dogs, and doxies. Trained and bred to hunt, dachshunds weren’t always beloved household pets. They used to burrow deep into tunnels to hunt and kill badgers. There were two sizes of dachshunds: the standard size hunted badgers and wild boar, while the pint-sized dog was assigned hares and foxes. A middle-sized dachshund was also introduced in Germany....
There is evidence that a hugely significant “extinction event’” took place that altered the destiny of sharks forever. What we cannot say is whether this was a rapid event that lasted just a day or an ongoing challenge that could have lasted thousands of years. Shark Extinction Research Sharks are an ancient species and have been on the earth for around 400 million years. It is reasonable to assume that, over this time, they would have faced their fair share of challenges....
