More Wildlife and Happy Endings

[Commander Wallace]

Apparently, the heat in lake Tahoe was Un-Bearable as a Black Bear family and 2 cubs were cooling off alongside other visitors. The cubs were seen playing in the water, oblivious to the people around them.

Drowning leopard trapped in 60-foot well took the only way out;

Quote:
The resident of Pimpalgaon Siddhanath village in the Junnar division of Maharashtra immediately contacted the Forest Department, which sent out a call to the Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Center operated by Wildlife SOS, according to The Indian Express and press statements. “The leopard was in a state of panic and had to be rescued immediately,” Dr. Ajay Deshmukh, senior veterinarian of the rescue center, said in a statement.

There is a video of the leopard rescue in Yahoo.

The leopard apparently didn't suffer any long term effects and was released back into it's natural environment.

I get the Impression that your idea of " wildlife " is the local pub at 2 A.M in the morning :D

By the way, is that felinously or felonious ? Now that is a play on words.
:haha:

[Eichhörnchen]

You're absolutely right, Aktung... a pun it wasn't :D

:haha: They don't call it the 'jungle dance' fer nuthin' lad! felinously or felonious ? Now that is a play on words.
Glad to see u get it! I actually hold the world Guinness record for time between 'the barkeep's 'last call' and my 'honky-tonk hot date' selection:smug: (Thank god they keep the lights low): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-nkLMWDUt4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-nkLMWDUt4) :Kaleun_Los: You're absolutely right, Aktung... a pun it wasn't
A pun it was! play-on-words) is a literary technique (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_technique) and a form of wit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wit) in which the words that are used become the main subject of the work, primarily for the purpose of intended effect or amusement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amusement). Examples of word play include puns (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pun) clever rhetorical (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetoric) excursions, oddly formed sentences, double entendres (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_entendre)...,
TO WIT; my double entendre of play on words for pun was a rhetorical excursion for the purpose of amusement brought on by relentless pursuit of a 'happy ending'-soda speke!.....

Mickey Gilley is a great Honky Tonk Piano Player. He is a bit like Jerry Lee Lewis which is appropriate since I understand they are related.

As far as last call and keeping the lights low, remember. You always meet a better class of people in the dark . :O:

[Wolferz]

Quit making me laugh or I'll Puma pants.
:haha:

[Eichhörnchen]

That was a pun... wasn't it?

[Méo]

Interesting.

A nice change from all the morosity we see so often...

When I first saw the thread title, I immediately thought about the ''Battle at Kruger''.

Perhaps the most spectacular thing I've seen on youtube :arrgh!:

Actually, the reason the thread title is More wildlife..... was in direct reference to the whale video you posted.:up: I thought you and others might enjoy seeing the videos and reading the stories associated with them.

[Aktungbby]

Well those poor starving lions certainly got 'buffaloed' outta their (decaf) breakfast!:know:
buf·fa·loed, buf·fa·lo·ing, buf·fa·loes
1. To intimidate or frighten, as by a display of authority: "The board couldn't buffalo the federal courts as it had the Comptroller" (American Banker).
2. To confuse or deceive: "Too often ... job seekers have buffaloed lenders as to their competency and training" (H. Jane Lehman).

Yeah I'll admit that thought crossed my mind when I saw it. :03:

Certainly up there with the best :yep:

Can't find a video link in english but the thing I'm watching right now is called ''Ultimate honey badger'' by Earth-Touch (on my dvr recorder).

And it's really impressive how robust and fierce this little creature is (I knew it was but not to that point).

If really hungry, it can chase a viper or a cobra, kill it, fall in coma if bitten (would have been fatal to any creature), resurrect 2 hours later then finish his meal.:o

His thick and elastic skin make it very hard (even for lions) to bite. Only a very patient and determined feline can overcome.

Ok there's no ''happing ending'' it just amaze me all the might nature can create...

[Eichhörnchen]

I'm coming back as a honey badger

Didn't know the #6, nice! :arrgh!:

But I'm unable to watch your second link (it says that National Geographic blocked it in my country for copyright reasons).

...But I'm unable to watch your second link (it says that National Geographic blocked it in my country for copyright reasons).

Same here. Like with the BBC and others. Everyone in the UK and the US automatically has a subscription for those channels, if they pay for it or not. But not in the rest of the world, I guess there is some national bias :haha:.
We will sure see more of it soon, as things are currently developing. There is no free net for all anymore. Google voluntarily blocks sites for chinese citizens, succumbing to the chinese government.

The internet has come a long way, and looking for the nationality of an IP adress and then blocking, is one of its latest "achievements".
Seems it happens not only in Poland, Turkey or China.
