One adorable little chipmunk was recently caught red-handed raiding a local backyard bird feeder. This video evidence obtained by the owner of the feeder, YouTube user fjwjr, shows the chippy’s surprised reaction and utter shock at being interrupted so unexpectedly.
The tiny critter freezes and then slowly spits out all the birdseed that he had gathered up in his mouth! As the food slowly spills from his puffed out cheeks the man filming can’t help but comment, “That’s kinda gross.” It’s also kinda cute and really funny so check it out for some pure, unadulterated entertainment.
Compared to rats and mice, chipmunks are easily among the cutest types of rodent in the animal kingdom. The itty-bitty furry critters are the littlest members of the squirrel family and you can often find them scurrying around on the ground or dashing madly up a tree.
It seems like they’re always in a hurry and that’s because they are! Chipmunks are so active because winter is always coming and they need to collect and store enough food to last them through hibernation.
To help them accomplish this feat, mother nature endowed them with some useful cheek pouches that can expand up to 3x the size of their heads. They scamper about and stuff their cheeks full of food, then head back to their burrows to store it all.

We know that dogs understand commands, and as all you dog owners out there know, we do plenty of talking to our furry friends that is more complex than simple commands like Sit and Stay. We go on and on asking them questions, telling them how much we love them etc. etc.
Do we all believe that they understand us as we babble on and on? Well, if you have any questions about this reality, the VIDEO you are about to watch below will make you a believer in your dog’s level of comprehension. Daniel Martino discovered one of his slippers had been chomped on and confronted the two culprits…his two adorable Dachshund and Pit Bull pups.
As the interrogation begins about which one of them was responsible… “Who was it? Who did this to my insole? Which one of you two was it?”, each of their reactions are priceless! They are literally like two children whose hands were caught in the cookie jar.
The Dachshund stands up to the pressure, alternately lowering his eyes and trying to win his human over with his expression, but the Pit Bull’s guilty reaction is a hilarious sight to see!

THIS New Mama Just Had a Litter of Puppies But Wait Until You See What She’s Holding In Her Mouth!
image via – abc.com
Two tiny four week old kittens had been found abandoned and alone. With no mother around and no time to spare, a woman decided to rescue the babies and took them in. She tried her best to hand feed the kittens with a dropper but they just weren’t eating and soon started to grow weak. In need of an alternative solution, she reached out to a family friend whose dog had recently given birth and the two decided to try and place the orphaned kittens with the new mother.
The new mother happened to be a 3 year old Jack Russel terrier named Annabelle. Two weeks prior to the kittens arrival she had given birth to a litter of two puppies. Her owner, Kristy, was unsure about how she’d react to the new additions but any apprehension or worries were soon forgotten.
In no time at all Annabelle had taken the kittens in and adopted them as her own babies. She performed all the motherly tasks that a cat would do for their young and groomed, fed, cleaned, and protected her two new additions. She would gently pick them up and carry them around the house in her mouth to keep them safe and close and snuggled with them day and night.
The ABC News clip of the new family is absolutely adorable and heart warming, it’s the kind of positive story that you actually want to hear about! According to Kristy, Annabelle “has accepted them as her own, no questions asked.” In fact, she’s even more protective of the kittens than she is of her own puppies, but that’s because the kittens are older and more active, moving around a lot, so she has to keep a closer eye on them to make sure they’re safe.
It looks like everyone in Kristy’s household is happy, from Annabelle to her puppies to the kitties! Even though life started out rough for the kittens, in the end it all worked out for the best thanks to the woman who saved them and for Annabelle taking them in as her own.

Loggers Chop Down This Really Old Tree. But Were Completely Stunned By What They Found Inside The Trunk!
image via – youtube.com
People have been logging the forests ever since they stopped being nomadic and settled down in one area. In America, as soon as the settlers arrived in Jamestown, Virginia they set to work falling trees to make shelters and protect them from the elements.
Over the years the industry has changed drastically to fit people’s needs. Nowadays logging is primarily done for lumber and producing paper pulp to make into a variety of paper products. That was what a team from Georgia Craft Company were out logging for one day back in 1980 in a forest near Jasper, Georgia. They were cutting down American Chestnut trees when they noticed that the first one they stuck their axe into was hollow. While unusual, it wasn’t a big deal, so they forged ahead and cut it down because it was still useable and valuable.
Once the tree was felled, they began cutting it up into smaller pieces that would fit on the back of the logging truck. However, before they started sawing it down to size, they realized that something was stuck up inside the tree trunk. When they looked down it there was no light passing through.
Curious, the loggers moved in to take a closer look and what met their gaze was shocking. The angry looking face of a snarling animal with sharp teeth peered out, causing them to immediately jump back and away from the tree. They couldn’t believe their eyes; they were looking at what seemed to be a very odd looking sort of dog. It appeared frozen in time and the loggers just knew they’d stumbled upon something strange. Not knowing quite what to do with it, they set it aside and got back to work.
About a year later the hollow Chestnut tree ended up at Southern Forest Word, a new museum dedicated to forestry that was about to open to the public. Staff at the museum knew the strange discovery would be a huge draw and wanted to know everything about the story behind the dog in the tree.
The dog appeared to have been naturally mummified and Kristina Killgrove, a biological anthropologist from the University of West Florida, came up with an explanation for how this likely happened. Part of her studies involve how tissue decays and the microbes involved in the process of breaking it all down. Because Chestnut trees have tannin, which makes them rot resistant, they absorb moisture.
That property is what prevented microbes from beginning the decaying process so the dog didn’t break down and instead became mummified. Another major contributing factor was that the tree trunk blocked other animals from both smelling and reaching the dog. Since it was hollow, any scent the dog gave off would have travelled up the tree like smoke where it’d be blown away by the wind.
The biggest question yet remained, how the dog ended up in the tree trunk in the first place. Since it appears to have been a 4 year old hunting dog, experts theorized that it likely chased an animal, such as a raccoon or squirrel, into the tree sometime around 1960. After somehow managing to climb up about 28 feet the dog then got stuck and after that it probably starved to death.
The dog in the tree has always been the main attraction at the forestry museum, people are fascinated by the story. For years it was simply given the name “mummified dog” but in 2002 the forestry museum held a naming contest for it. They ended up choosing the name “Stuckie” in homage to the poor hound’s sad fate.

THIS Guy Believed He Took Home A New Little Puppy. He Would Soon Realize THIS Wasn’t Even a Dog!
image via – youtube.com
Everyone knows that dogs are man’s best friend and the connection between people and canines runs deep. Naturally, when an 18 year old man from Tucson, Arizona found a cute little puppy abandoned in a shopping cart he couldn’t just leave him there. He took the dog home and asked his parents if he could keep him, they said yes and named him Neo.
From the start there were issues with Neo, he would relieve himself in the young man’s car and was very anti-social, yet needy at the same time. He’d only let the man get close and feed or care for him and shunned any of the other family members attempts at showing him any attention. Being that the man worked long hours and was enrolled full time at college, Neo was often left at home in the back yard.
Thinking that the fenced in area was roomy and safe enough for the dog, the family was surprised when Neo first got out. However, he started escaping regularly and would either dig a hole to freedom or jump right over the fence. Once he was out, Neo would head over to the neighbor’s house where some German Shepherds lived and loved to hang out and play with them.
Time and again he escaped, so the boy and his parents put up a much bigger and better fence thinking it would keep Neo in. It didn’t, the dog chewed right through the new fence and escaped in no time at all, heading straight back to the neighbors and his old dog friends.
The neighbors had been understanding and wanted to help. They would bring Neo back every time, but after awhile they got fed up with having to constantly return him. Plus, Neo clearly still didn’t trust them, he’d avoid eye contact and refused to eat any treats they threw his way. They ended up bringing him to the local Humane Society of Southern Arizona to see if they could offer professional help on what to do with the situation.
When Maureen O’Nell, the CEO of the shelter at the time, first saw Neo she knew right away he was different and not an ordinary dog. His amber eyes, long legs, rough coat that featured specific markings, and the anti-social behavior he displayed towards humans indicated that Neo was in fact a wolf! That came as a shock to everyone, but now all of Neo’s quirks and strange behavior made sense.
With this new revelation came a whole mess of issues. Arizona law prohibits anyone from owning a wolf unless they are either of Native American descent or they get a special permit. Not even animal shelters can take a wolf hybrid in and the humane society was required to report him to the authorities which left Neo’s fate in limbo.
Watch this video for the full story:
Not wanting to see him put down, his family and O’Nell started looking into options for his future care. They found a California sanctuary called Wolf Connection Organization that was properly equipped to take care of wolves and wolf hybrids, which is what Neo likely was. The sanctuary agreed to take Neo in and soon he began the slow, gradual adjustment process of living at the facility and among other wolves.
For Neo, being an impatient escape artist, the adjustment period was a little too slow. He soon broke out of his enclosure and headed straight to the one next door where an established pack lived. His friendly nature soon won over the alpha female of the pack, a wolf named Maya, and with that the rest of the group accepted him into their family.
Thankfully Neo’s story has a happy ending; he ended up among fellow wolves rather than confined to a backyard or put down.
See Neo all grown up in the video below:

Wolf Decides To Attack This Helpless Baby Bison. But What The Hidden Camera Caught Next Is UNTHINKABLE!
image via – youtube.com
Baby bison have been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. If you haven’t yet heard, one was recently picked up by concerned tourists in Yellowstone National Park and brought to rangers in the back of their car. The foreign tourists claimed that they thought the young bison looked cold, so they warmed it up in their car.
However good their intentions may have been, it turned out to be deadly for the calf. Park rangers spent over two days trying to reunite the calf with its mother, but all attempts were rejected. Because of that, and since it kept approaching people and cars near the roadway, the youngster was subsequently euthanized. In addition, it’s illegal to transport an untested bison outside of the park due to the potential for spreading Brucellosis, a bovine disease that can easily spread among cows and bison.
This other baby bison story has a much happier ending and there is no human interference with the course that mother nature intended. The National Geographic video clip shows a young bison calf who is just seven days old attempting to cross the Lamar River, located in northwestern Wyoming.
The water is running higher and swifter than usual due to melting snow, which causes the tiny baby to lose its footing and get swept downstream. It finally reaches a small gravelly island and climbs ashore, but it’s freezing cold, sapped of energy, hungry, and all alone. Night is closing in on the baby fast and the rest of the herd, including his mother, has continued on their journey.
Things go from bad to worse when a hungry wolf spots the lone baby bison and moves in for the kill. It reaches the island and latches on to the calf’s throat, trying to bring it down, but the bison manages to stay on its feet and stand his ground. The wolf is far from experienced and struggles to maintain its grip in the calf’s throat as the two flail about. Suddenly, a noise in the distance startles the lone wolf and causes it to halt its attack.
Seconds later the young bison’s mother comes thundering into view and she saves the day!! The wolf backs off and can only look on helplessly as mother and child reunite. After a quick greeting and sniff the hungry baby immediately gets to nursing. It will need all the strength and nourishment it can get after the harrowing ordeal it went through and it’s incredibly lucky to be alive.
What an awesome story of instincts, survival, and the powerful bond between a mother and child!
