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

A snow leopard wasn’t very good at hiding its surprise when it spotted a new camera in its enclosure. The adorable snow leopard Jessie, who resides at Paradise Wildlife Park in Hertfordshire, was startled when she turned around to see the new camera trap that had been installed. Jessie was hanging out in her enclosure at the park where she has lived since 2015. She seemed entirely conten

My main perceptions of raccoons come from Pocahontas’s Meeko, and that episode of Friends when Joey blames all his failing on ‘this raccoon that came in’. I wouldn’t ordinarily describe them as ‘brave’…until now. One raccoon has changed everything when it did a Mission: Impossible-esque jump from nine stories high, followed by a superhero landing. You won’t believe your ey

A pair of extremely rare, white giraffes in Kenya have been captured on camera for the first time in recorded history! They are truly an incredible sight to behold. In the video below, a mother and child can be seen wandering around the Ishaqbini Hirola Conservancy. The giraffes both suffer from Leucism, which is a genetic condition which prevents pigmentation from taking place. Rumors had

This incredible footage was recently posted to Facebook by Leslie A. Temanson, a former Program Director at Volunteer in Thailand with Friends for Asia. He captured the moment when a mother elephant gracefully decided to check on her son as he was sleeping. Elephants are capable of forming extremely deep family ties and live in close knit groups of related females, known as a herd. The gro
