The year was 1832 — and Jonathan the tortoise was just a tiny hatchling. The world was a very different place back then; the lightbulb had yet to be invented, and cars were still half a century away. But Jonathan, who is a Seychelles giant tortoise, lived to see it all. This weekend, he celebrated turning 190 with a "cake" made of fresh vegetables, and the title of oldest-known animal in the

This image of GPS tracking of multiple wolves in six different packs is an excellent illustration of how much wolf packs in general avoid each other’s range. Image credit: Thomas Gable The pictures, created in the framework of Voyageurs Wolf Project conducted in Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota, USA, show typical adjacent wolf pack territories that are somewhere around 50-7

Dolphins are known as one of the smartest ocean creatures. They’re known to be able to build complex relationships, invent novel behaviors, and use both verbal and gestural signs to communicate with each other. But the humpback dolphin named Mystique is taking the intelligence of this aquatic mammal to a whole new level. Look, nobody is immune to a nice gift. Mystique knows that very well. In

Humans are all about trying to find ways to make things more convenient, and recently, a very hungry sea lion decided he wanted to get in on that action too. When a South American sea lion noticed a fish market onshore, he decided to waddle in and check it out — and was immediately super excited when he realized just how many fish had been gathered up there. Definitely a sea lion’s dr

One day, two police deputies from Boulder, Colorado were driving along a dirt road when they saw a tiny animal in the middle of the road As they got closer, they saw that it was an adorable baby Northern Saw-Wher owl.

A bizarre, rather disturbing video has surfaced on Chinese state-run media platform People’s Daily, which shows hundreds of sheep walking around in circles without stopping. https://twitter.com/PDChina/status/1592891305721372673?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1592891305721372673%7Ctwgr%5Efa1e75be3c021aa4917f38f6a0db18444fa305ff%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fearthly

It’s hard to imagine anything still alive that was born in 1505. That was the year that Martin Luther became a monk and King Henry VIII called off his engagement with Catherine of Aragon… in short, a bloody long time ago. But that’s exactly what scientists believe they have found in the form of one massive Greenland shark swimming in the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean. The shark is

There are many reasons dogs are called man’s best friends. They’re loyal and smart, but endlessly childish and sometimes dorky and, most importantly, they always have your back even in the hardest of times. This K9 fast response unit operating in South Africa always has the backs of their humans when fighting poachers and protecting wildlife, and even do a much better job than their humans.

As you’ve probably already noticed, we like to write articles about cats. And as we’ve already noticed, you like to read these articles just as much as we like to create them. But today, let’s mix things up a bit by putting a twist on this whole cat thing. Today, let’s talk about a wild cat that also happens to be an extremely rare one. Recently, four camera trap pictures from the year
