Very good police dogs and their handlers have been getting together for very badass photoshoots. And for a noble cause. “The calendar was started in 2009 by retired Vancouver Police Sergeant Mike Anfield in honour of his wife, VPD Constable Candy Anfield who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2004,” Social Media Liaison officer for the Vancouver Police Department, Anne-Marie Clark told B

Sloths are the slowest mammals in the world. Fact. And after going through these pictures, you'll probably think that they're also the cutest mammals in the world. The 20th of October is International Sloth Day and it's a great opportunity to show some love and appreciation for these chill and cute animals that show us that sometimes being slow is not the worst thing.

Is there anything worse than a creepy, crawly spider? Those gross, little legs and roaming bodies. Whenever I get a good glimpse at one, it makes me want to twitch. And apparently, I’m not alone. Arachnophobia, the fear of spiders, is the second most common phobia after the fear of heights. Theories surmise the aversion is evolutionary, but whatever the case may be, spiders are not well-li

It’s not uncommon for fishing boats to see icebergs off the coast of Labrador, Canada. And it’s also not uncommon to see those icebergs carrying some passengers. Normally you’d see some seals lounging on icebergs. So Mallory Harrigan didn’t really think anything of it when she saw something floating on a mushroom-shaped iceberg about 4 miles from shore when she was aboard a crab-fish

As a photographer based in Alaska, Tim Newton has gotten the chance to photograph some incredibly rare animals. Usually, Tim has to go looking for the animals. But in September 2017, the animals came to him! When Tim woke up one morning, he heard strange noises on his back porch. Tim went to investigate, and he was shocked to see three lynx kits playing on his porch. He quickly went to grab

The odds of seeing a deer are pretty high if you live close to a forest. Just in my own neighborhood the other day, I saw one roaming around in a neighbor’s backyard. A lot of people find deer to be a nuisance, claiming that the animals ruin their backyards by stomping on their plants and eating their grass and flowers. Having said that, I think this story might melt even the coldest of he

It’s very common for cats to show their appreciation and affection by bringing gifts for their owners. These gifts are, more often than not, the results of a hunting session and involve rodents, birds and other small creatures in a state of extreme distress. Needless to say, these gifts are rarely welcomed by their ungrateful humans. This most likely causes confusion and hurt to our poor feli

Thomas Owens has seen countless black bears during his time working as a State Trooper in New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest. New Hampshire is home to about 5,000 bears, and many call this forest home. Owens knows that it’s best to not approach black bears, especially protective mama bears. But one day, Owens saw a little cub that was in big trouble, and he knew if he didn’t d
