Wildlife

Yesterday morning I got a big surprise when I went down to the parking garage here at the studios. A family of grey or maybe even red foxes were camping out in the garage. Unfortunately I scared them when I came downstairs so they all took off. There were ten of them total, two adults and eight babies. They must have had a litter nearby and were out looking of food.

Meet Chunk the groundhog he's an internet superstar, or soon will be! He even has his own Youtube channel and is always grubbin' and grinin' in the garden.

I never really thought of coyotes as aggressive, or at least anytime I've ever encounter one they've all been scared and usually ran off as fast as they could. This guy came across a coyote that means business! At first glance it seems friendly, but not really. He remained clam and managed to escape the encounter without being eaten. WARNING: video contains strong language!

This is a brilliant use of WD-40, is there anything it can't do? I think not! I use the stuff for just about everything and now it looks like I'll be using it as a squirrel deterrent. I have a well documented deep psychotic hatred for squirrels.

WARNING: Cuteness overload! Some friendships can last forever! This man saved a penguin years ago and it comes back to visit every year. Who wouldn't want a penguin as a friend, how cool would that be?

WARNING: Cuteness overload! This baby seal just jumped into this guy's boat and it looks like they're quickly becoming best friends. I guess the seal was tired of swimming and decided to take a ride on the boat. This could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship!

This is amazing! Scientist were conducting an experiment to see if electricity would keep bears away from dead animals. Why? The ideal is hunters could use electricity to protect their kills and reduce their chances of a bear encounter. Well this bear figures a way around the problem pretty quick!

This guy was at the house busy working on his computer minding his own business when he heard a noise coming from outside the window. He tried to ignore it but it kept getting louder and louder. The noises were strange and wouldn't stop so he had to investigate.

It's definitely not like Disney films! Nature can be a very cruel and unforgiving thing. In the tooth, claw and nail world of wildlife it's truly survival of the fittest! This guy found out the hard way when he released his pet mouse Whiskers into the forest. It was a glorious thing for all of about 30 seconds!

A camper in Alaska has one of the closest encounters with a brown bear ever captured on video. He set up a camp near a river bank and began shooting video of the area when all of a sudden a huge brown bear stumbles into his campsite. Luckily the bear was more curious than anything else and the guy remained calm.

This has to rank in the top 10 stupidest things you could ever do to a wild bear, slap it on the butt. For some reason most people view wildlife like it's a Disney film, sure some animals are cute, but even the cute ones can maul, kill and eat you! This  guy gets it in his head to sneak up on a wild bear and try to slap it on the butt.

It's not exactly the right or sane thing to do, but when you have a big black bear in your yard and want it to leave, you could pull out the camera and attempt to harass it into leaving the property. That's what one man did when he came home to discover a bear in his backyard.
