It’s a busy time of year for many shops with Christmas just around the corner. This small gift shop in Fort Collins, Colorado got some rather unexpected customers however. Lori Jones was working her usual shift at the shop, part of the Horsetooth Inn and RV Park, when a young doe casually walked in as if on a mission to pick out some gifts for her family. “It was hilarious,” Lori told The

Shirley and Jenny spent many years in the same circus. Jenny was only a calf while Shirley was in her twenties. They lived together for an entire winter, but then were separated. 22 years later, they both ended up at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. Staff was unsure of what their reunion would be like.

HEART-WRENCHING VIDEO SHOWS STARVING POLAR BEAR ON ICELESS LAND When photographer Paul Nicklen and filmmakers from conservation group Sea Legacy arrived in the Baffin Islands in late summer, they came across a heartbreaking sight: a starving polar bear on its deathbed.

This is Mama, a 59 year-old chimpanzee who was matriarch of the colony at the Royal Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands. The colony is famous as the basis of groundbreaking research involving primate behavior, resulting in the book Chimpanzee Politics by Frans De Waal. Back in April 2016 she was coming to the end of her life, sick and unable to eat. On hearing the news, co-founder of the col

Humpback whales are pretty big. Quite enormous in fact. The average weight of a fully grown adult is around 36,000kg, which is about the same weight as 24 adult hippos, but that didn’t stop the massive mammal in the video below from putting on an incredible air display when it leapt completely out of the water in South Africa recently. The footage was shot in the Indian Ocean off the coast of

Not everything in nature is as beautiful or as hilarious as we're mostly used to. It has a dark side, too, and I'll completely understand if this list by Bored Panda forces you to build a pillow-fort in your living room and avoid going outside for a week. From a mama centipede protecting its babies to a wasp colony building a nest around a discarded doll, these pictures feature some of the scar
