This Giant Humpback Whale Jumps Out Of The Water And Lands On Kayakers. The Result Is Terrifying!
Two extremely lucky kayakers have one heck of a whale tale to tell after their early morning encounter with one of the massive mammals. Tom Mustill and Charlotte Kinloch were paddling along in an ocean kayak off the coast of California at Moss Landing, which is near Monterey Bay, at around 8 a.m. on Saturday morning.
The British holidaymakers had heard that a large group of migrating humpback whales had been spotted nearby so they quickly set out to go see them. After spending three hours in the water watching the giant whales feed and breach the surface they decided to head back to shore.
It was during this return trip that things got a little hairy. The pair, along with several other kayaks, were in the midst of the group of feeding whales. The next thing they knew was that a huge, dark object was above them, blocking the light, and that’s when Mr. Mustill thought “Oh, I’m going to die now.”
What they saw coming full speed at them was a 40-60 ton humpback whale who had just sped up from deep below to breach the water surface, right were they were situated. The two were thrown out of the kayak and sucked deep under water by the sheer force of the whale’s landing.
It created such a forceful suction that even their extremely buoyant kayak was pulled under as if it were a toy. Thankfully, they were smart and wearing life vests which quickly returned them to the surface and both managed to escape unhurt.
The only damage was to the kayak, which had a small dent in its bow and it had been flooded with water. Nearby experienced kayakers helped pump out the water and righted the boat, and the shocked pair made it safely back to shore.
Remarkably, a cruise ship passenger, Larry Plants, managed to catch the extraordinary moment when the huge whale breached. This is one of those unbelievable videos you have to see to believe and it really takes your breath away!
Right after the whale’s jump and crash landing a fellow passenger can be heard in the video asking “The kayak! Where’s the kayak?” and another passenger answers her “He knocked it over!” The video was posted online by Sanctuary Cruises, the operators of the boat Mr. Plants was on when he shot the footage.
The boat’s Captain Micheal Sack wrote on his website that “Kayak whale watching can be extremely dangerous. And one should realize that humpback whales are wild animals and totally unpredictable. It’s a very uncontrolled environment out there.
Just like any wilderness experience.” His words of wisdom and warning stress the danger and vulnerability that a person faces when they go out on the open ocean in a tiny boat among enormous wild whales who are feeding. Next time perhaps the two lucky kayakers who almost died will take a bigger boat!

This Dog Gave Up On Life and Was About To Be Killed. But What Happens Next Left Me In Tears.
The story of Nico, a deaf Dogo Argentino, is so important. He represents so many other dogs who have been abused, misrepresented and labeled as dangerous after living in animal shelters with no hope. You will hear of Nico’s devastating journey that almost brought him to the point of being euthanized.
Because of the posting of his picture on Facebook, the attention he needed began. The person who was to rescue him for a “death with dignity” was to bring him to the vet in order to be euthanized. However, she met a dog who was totally unlike his description. The Nico she met did not appear to be dangerous. She saw and felt his soul and his life changed forever.
Nico’s journey from then on, was no immediate happy ending. He needed veterinary care to remove many cancerous lesions, and he required a foster mom to begin his process of socialization, before he could have the possibility of being adopted by a family and have a forever home.
As you watch this heartwarming video you will hear the tale of his adjustment, his excitement at playing in his first snow and the unfortunate recurrence of his cancer. His outcome is nothing short of amazing. Nico is a survivor of unimaginable physical and emotional trials, who turned out to be anything but dangerous.
He is a most affectionate dog… a real cuddler, who despite everything is getting to enjoy a life that at one time seemed completely hopeless. Make sure you watch this video to the very end, so you don’t miss an adorable lighthearted moment.

His Human Tells This Great Dane It’s Bath Time. Now Watch The Dog’s Hilarious Unexpected Reaction!
It’s kind of a mystery why most dogs balk at taking a bath. After all, many of them enjoy swimming in rather cold water, and baths are warm. The avoidance of bath time usually includes wriggling away, whining and hiding. It’s a little pathetic, but sweet, once they actually succumb to the bath and get clean.
However, what you are about to watch in this video is most unusual and simply adorable. Unbelievably, this beautiful Great Dane, knows exactly what his human is saying and he goes for it. It’s Sunday and he knows exactly what that means. His owner speaks to him like he is telling his child that if it’s Sunday it must be bath time.
Basil, the family dog, is outside when his owner calls him. He needs no prodding and just moseys down the hall toward the bathroom. He knows exactly what to do as his owner encourages him, he steps into the tub on his own. If he could he’d probably give himself the bath! What a smart, obedient and relaxed pup!

He Had A Strange Pain In His Ear And Thought It Was A Bad Earache. But They Pull Out This Unexpected Surprise!
We have all heard that ear wax can build up and become impacted in the ear canal, causing eventual pain and even hearing loss. What you are about to watch in the following video, that was causing this boy’s distress, is far worse than ear wax. What came crawling out of his ear is just beyond belief!
Fourteen-year-old, Grant Botti, woke up in excruciating pain coming from his ear. In a state of panic, after feeling something moving, he reached inside his ear to see if he was just imagining the movement. Incredibly, what he pulled out was so disgusting and startling, that I feel the need to forewarn you.
He grabbed onto the tail of a 4-inch centipede that had become lodged in his ear!!! It is hard to believe that he was able to pull it out by himself, without passing out from shock or pain. He was able to slowly remove the entire creature! Even more unbelievable is that his mom watched him pull this grotesque thing from his ear, without passing out herself.
She had the presence of mind to bag this centipede and bring it to the hospital, where her poor son was rushed, in unbearable pain. At Saline Memorial Hospital, Grant was examined by the doctors, who found abrasions in his ear drum that was causing the continued pain.
It is believed that the centipede entered his ear canal while he was swimming. Thankfully, Grant did not sustain any permanent physical damage. Hopefully, he and his family have gotten over the psychological trauma of this disturbing and painful event.

He Couldn’t Figure Out How His Pup Kept Escaping So He Set Up A Hidden Camera and Caught THIS Surprise!
Would you expect that an 11-week-old pup could figure out how to take down a safety gate in a house? Unlikely, right? Well not if he’s a Corgi. This little, adorable breed is indeed known to be very smart, crafty and confident. In fact, they don’t even view themselves as being small and thus are quite assertive.
Corgis are part of the herding breeds who are strong-willed. The cute Corgi pup, Beau, seen in this video, displays all of the typical traits of his breed . What makes the video so astounding is his young age and strength. His new owner sets up a doggy gate to keep the little pup in the kitchen when he has to go out.
Whenever he returns Beau has escaped. His human can’t figure out what in the world is going on. To get to the bottom of how Beau is escaping through the “dog-proof” gate, his owner sets up a camera to record this crafty little pup’s shenanigans, when he leaves the house.
Watch what happens within a few minutes after he leaves. Hanging out in the kitchen clearly isn’t Beau’s thing. What you are about to watch is just amazing! This little Corgi pup sure makes his breed proud!

Neglected Dog Was Never Touched In Her Life. Watch Her Reaction When She’s Held For The First Time!
Little Harleigh, who appears to be a Chihuahua mix, was found cowering in the corner of her cage, where she had spent over 3 years in a puppy mill operation used for breeding. This sweet little floppy-eared girl had never experienced the loving touch of humans.
Puppy mills are nothing but prisons for these poor animals who have never learned to trust people. They have been so traumatized by years of imprisonment and lack of socialization. When Harleigh is is finally rescued, her fear is palpable, as she is approached in a loving way by a kind volunteer.
Tail between her legs, she at first recoils from his gentle approach. When he is able to hold her, the little dog’s mistrust is still visible, as she digs her claws into the volunteer’s arm.
Her sheer terror is heartbreaking, but after only an hour of kindness and tactile comfort, we see that there is hope for Harleigh. There are moments when she relaxes into the man’s arms that brought tears to my eyes. Other little dogs congregate around her.
She will need constant love and assurance in order to help her heal from her early years of isolation and lack of loving care. The only way for Harleigh, and other dogs who have experienced the horrors of a puppy mill, to make it is to be adopted by a loving and patient family.
I hope this video encourages people to rescue abandoned animals who so badly need our love.
