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.

Twenty-one-year-old Amelia Milling loves hiking more than anything else. Milling is deaf, but she doesn’t let that stop her from going on incredible adventures around the world! In June 2018, Milling went to Alaska to complete the Crow Pass Trail in Chugach State Park. This was supposed to be a three-day hike, but unfortunately, four miles into the trek she slipped and fell down the side of

Paul Barton is an English artist and pianist who love animals. In 1996, Barton decided he wanted to go on a new adventure, and so, he moved to Thailand. He only planned to spend three months in the country, but everything changed when he met his future wife, Khwan. Khwan is a wildlife artist and animal activist. Through her, Barton started getting more involved in the animal activism communi

When on vacation in the beautiful Canadian rainforest, you’re probably already on the ready to experience some truly sublime sights and sensations. But the guests at Great Bear Lodge in British Columbia, Canada had a huge surprise waiting to greet them earlier this month. Picture this: you’re in your bathrobe, sleeping soundly or enjoying the quiet forest light sneaking into your room from
