Extreme weather events are becoming more and more common, with records shattered down under during Australia's recent heatwave, and now, at the opposite end of the spectrum, the 'polar vortex' bearing down on Midwestern U.S. The polar vortex is a band of strong winds, high up in the atmosphere that keeps bitterly cold air locked around the Arctic region. Sometimes, like this year, it can drift
Cetaceans like dolphins and whales will no longer be kept in Canadian aquariums after the government passed a bill that prohibits their captivity. The bill, S-203, was first proposed in 2015, and it was finally passed after three years of intense legislative battles.

The #10YearChallenge has gone so viral, it even became a meme. But among all the smiles and giggles, a serious version of the hashtag has emerged as well.

The beautiful bobcat is mainly found in North America, although it’s habitat is thought to stretch to the far south of Mexico.

Forbes claim that Sunday night is the night to turn your eyes to the sky if you live in North and Central America, whereas for South America and large parts of Europe, the spectacle will occur in the early hours of Monday morning.

People might argue to the contrary, but I think at this stage one has to accept that all animals have feelings. Some more than others, sure, but long gone are the days where we could look at the animals we share this world with and simply label them beasts. Animals are capable love and grief, of fear and happiness, and every so often images or videos will capture moments where they truly show h
Meet Yeti, Odlin, Sampson, and Apolo: four of the rarest big cats in the world! These adorable brothers are ligers—lion-tiger hybrids. Ligers are extremely rare.

They’re believed to be the first white ligers ever born! The brot
