An Elephant Notices His Human Fall On His Face In Pain. How She Reacts The UNTHINKABLE!

Elephants are among the most intelligent species of animals that walk the Earth’s surface. They are highly complex and extremely social mammals who live in caring, tight knit family groups. Many people know that an elephant never forgets, thanks to their incredible memories, but they are capable of so much more.
They cry, play, laugh, are self-aware, and express grief and compassion. When another elephant in the group passes away they all mourn the loss. They have also been observed grieving when a close human friend or caretaker dies, as was the case when Laurence Anthony passed in 2012.
Anthony was known as the “elephant whisperer” for his amazing ability at calming and reforming violent, traumatized elephants who were seen as pests in South Africa. By taking an interest in, and living among them while rehabilitating, the out of control animals, he saved their lives from certain death.
Shortly after he died, two separate and distinct herds of elephants made a miles long, 12 hour, non-stop journey to his home. They showed up and stayed for two days to pay their final respects to the man who had loved and saved them before heading back into the bush. Somehow, in their hearts or minds, they had sensed the loss of friend and wanted to say goodbye to him.
The strong emotional and unspoken bond that can develop between elephant and man can further be seen in this video. In it is an elephant named Thongsri who lives in Thailand with her human caretaker. She clearly cares a lot for her friend and when she noticed that he was being attacked by another man she rushed over to defend him.
It doesn’t matter whether or not her caretaker and the other man were play fighting, all she saw was that someone was potentially hurting her friend. The other man ran off as soon as he saw Thongsri coming at him. Then she flared her ears aggressively and stood guard over the caretaker while he crawled around on the ground.
No one in their right mind would continue to try and harm her friend, they’d likely get trampled in a second if they did! It’s just further proof of what amazing, sensitive, and special animals elephants are.

Nobody Believed Them When They Described This Gorilla’s Afternoon Ritual. So They Caught THIS
image via – youtube.com
I have always been fascinated by apes of all kinds. As they are our evolutionary cousins, watching their behavior and intelligence is particularly intriguing. Gorillas share 95% of our DNA; that fact and their enormity make them so captivating. They are beautiful and amazing creatures that should always be protected.
The video you are about to watch below, shows Amba the gorilla, who resides at the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, in Kent, UK. Today he is 24 years old and weighs 485 pounds. The footage reveals very unusual behavior because most gorillas never walk like this. The video is quite a rare sight that has rarely been witnessed before.
One does not expect to see a Western lowland gorilla, like Amba, walking like a human! Normally they navigate on all fours, but it seems Ambam had modeled the behavior of the humans around him, and achieved perfect balance on his hind quarters. His posture and swagger took my breath away, as it was so like a muscular human male’s.
His remarkable achievement stirred debate and further study of how man evolved to walk on two legs.

Giant Wolf Sits Down Next To This Woman Now Watch The Moment When Their Eyes Meet.
Not many people can walk freely with wolves and the rare few who are able to share such a close and special bond with the majestic animals are incredibly fortunate. Danielle, a wildlife worker at the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, is one of those lucky souls. She has earned the trust and respect of several timber wolves at the center and as you can see in this awesome video, they truly seem to love and appreciate her like one of their own!
The large grey wolf seen walking alongside Danielle in the beginning is named Kekoa, which in Hawaiian means “brave one.” He’s a nine year old Timber wolf who was transferred in from the Seacrest Wolf Preserve in Florida along with his sister Sakara who is also featured in the clip. According to the Wildlife Center, Kekoa enjoys giving visitors sweet kisses and he’s exceptionally gentle around them!
It’s clear to see that the handsome boy definitely loves the ladies and watching him interact with Danielle says it all. He walks with her happily wagging his tail and when she sits down in the snow he nuzzles her affectionately and bows his head in submission. Then he starts licking her face enthusiastically, which make seem kind of gross, but it’s actually a further sign of his affection and subordination towards her.
As brave and noble as he looks, he’s also a big baby and I mean real big! He weighs in at 115 pounds and when he places his front paws up on a persons shoulders he comes in at about 7 feet tall! Check out the size comparison between Danielle, who happens to be an average sized adult, and his sister Sakara, who is slightly smaller than her brother and weighs 85 pounds. Kekoa is huge, yet so sweet and soft!
The best part is when he rolls over on his back and fully exposes his tummy to Danielle. Not only does this signal that he wants her to give him belly rubs, it also shows just how much he truly trusts her. While he’s willing to be completely vulnerable around Danielle, he’s also not a fully wild wolf.
In an interview with The Dodo wildlife center staffer Michelle Smith explained that “Since he was raised by people and bottle fed from the time he was born, he is very well socialized, meaning he enjoys the company of people. This is not the same as domesticated or tame. He is still a ‘wild’ animal, and he does tend to show it when he is around his sister. A wolf in the wild would not act this way.” To drive home her point, a healthy and normal wild wolf would never allow a person to pet them, let alone approach them in the first place. Wolves actively avoid human contact and prefer to stay well away from us.
This clip just shows how well people and wolves can get along if given the chance to. They are highly personable and are a far cry from the wicked, evil animals that they have been portrayed as in fairy tales and stories over the centuries. In fact, wolves are easily among the most intelligent, socially complex, and misunderstood animals on Earth. They have been given a wholly undeserved reputation by people, hunted and persecuted to near extinction, and yet through it all they’ve managed to survive and endure.
Please be sure to check out the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center’s beautiful video and see for yourself how sweet natured and loving they can be!

THIS Parrot Wants To Go Out For His Walk But Dad Says No. His Surprise Revenge Is Hilarious!
We all love our pets, but bird owners have a really unique relationship with their fine-feathered friends. Their back and forth is often hilarious to watch. Because they can’t really be pet and they do mimic human voices and attitudes, the interactions between parrots and their owners as they banter is extremely interesting and sometimes befuddling!
Eric the parrot is a cranky guy on this particular day, that is captured in the video you are about to watch. Apparently, he really wanted to go for a walk on the shoulder of his owner, but it’s not in the cards today due to the inclement weather.
What’s a bird to do?! You will find out what mischief he gets into to entertain himself indoors. He drives his “bird-mother” straight out of her mind, as he finds his revenge with a cup full of coins! This nutty little bird just won’t listen, I hope you enjoy this laugh out loud video as much as I did. “Eric no!” the clip starts, and continues during his ‘angry bird’ rebellion until the “scary fish” threat.
This is the best thing I have seen all week. Watch the video below and enjoy! Have you ever seen anything like this before?

This Woman Refused To Sit Next To This Guy. When He Realizes Why He Was Blown Away!
The days of segregation in the deep South are gone, we elected our first Black President of the United States, apartheid was eradicated in South Africa…we have certainly come a long way in the last 60 years. Overt racism has certainly shrunk, but have our attitudes really changed covertly?
Many people throughout the world still harbor racist thinking which they pass on to their children. Jokes that are told at the expense of an ethnic group that isn’t yours, can be quite cruel, and can perpetuate stereotypes. Something as unseen as crossing the street to not be near someone of another color, is very telling of the racism that still exists.
BeyondBlue produced the video you are about to watch, as part of their mission to fight discrimination and the terrible hurt and divisiveness it causes across cultures. The way that it was directed and written is very powerful, as it touches on the more subtle manifestations of racism, and the terrible damage that it does to those who are victimized.

This Guy Looks Normal But When He Wipes Off His Make Up My Jaw Dropped!
I didn’t know what to expect when this video started. At first, the man referred to as “zombie boy” looks like a normal person you would see walking down the street. Since I knew his nickname, I expected something crazy to happen, but nothing could have prepared me for the transformation that took place next. As it turns out, what meets the eye at first glance is not always the case upon further inspection.
When we first see or meet someone, we form impressions, or prejudgments of that person based on our experience with others who share similarities. It is impossible to avoid doing this, but a good lesson we are taught over and over again is that we should try not to judge a book by its cover.
This video is a new take on this idea, presented in reverse to show us how much our first impression informs our view of a person. If you are like me, you didn’t have a strong impression, negative or positive when I first saw him.
But as he removed the heavy layer of professionally applied makeup that was covering his entire body, the impressions and associations started to form. If they had started the video with a picture of zombie boy as he looks at the end of the video, I would have formed those impressions almost immediately.
By showing the process in reverse, the makers of this video uncover our own preconceived judgments and buried stereotypes at the same time as they uncover the tattooed skin that lies hidden beneath the makeup. Once again, we are taught the valuable lesson that things are rarely as they seem at first glance!
