A Giant Whale Shark Swims Near This Diver Then He Realizes Something Was Seriously Wrong!
image via – youtube.com
There is a zero tolerance standard for fishing in the waters, that the group of divers captured in the video below are exploring. This magnificent footage, produced by the Smithsonian, caught a fateful meeting between the divers and a “whale shark”.
The largest species of fish in existence, the whale shark isn’t actually a whale at all, according to the “Nature Conservancy”. It is classified as a Vulnerable species by the IUCN Red List. While it is technically a shark, this “gentle giant” moves slowly and is of no danger to humans unless attacked in a specific way.
It actually makes a great companion for divers as you will see in the video. When the divers came upon this whale shark, they immediately saw that an extremely large fishing rope was wrapped around the animal, cutting into it’s fins.
Using a cutting tool they instantly released the rope from the encumbered animal; judging by the condition of the skin underneath the rope and the rope itself, the divers believed that the poor whale shark had been tied up for a lengthy time, as you will hear in the video.
This Vulnerable species is of great value to Taiwanese and Filipino fisherman, who attempt to capture it, despite the prohibition on fishing in these waters. Their attempt to capture clearly failed, but damaged this beautiful creature for some time.

THIS Strange Dog Collapses At Their Front Door! Then They Spot a Letter On His Collar and Run Immediately To a Phone!
image via – youtube.com
Dogs are known to be loyal companions and this trait is part of what makes them so endearing to people. It’s not just humans who they are steadfastly faithful towards, many are best friends with other animals, especially other dogs. Louie, a sheepdog living in New Zealand with his family was such a dog and his story shows just how devoted and loyal he turned out to be when his friend got into trouble.
Louie had always been an adventurous dog. According to Marolyn Diver, his human sister, he enjoyed going out and exploring around his family’s property. While sometimes he’d be gone for quite some time, he’d always return home before it got too late. At 12 years old, he was getting up there in age and didn’t seem to wander as far or stay out as late, so when he went missing one day his family grew extremely worried that perhaps something bad had happened to him.
When Louie came walking up the driveway late in the afternoon, Marolyn and her parents were extremely relieved to have him back safe and sound. As he collapsed on the ground clearly exhausted and worn out, they noticed that he had a little piece of cardboard attached to his collar. It was a note that read “Louie is the hero of the day, he led me to Maddy in distress stuck under a branch pile. Cheers, Rob.”
Rob was a neighboring farmer who lived about a mile away and Maddy was his beloved dog who happened to be best friends with Louie. Wanting to know more about what happened, Louie’s owners called Rob and he told them how their dog had saved the day. Earlier Rob had been unable to find Maddy and since he had to run errands in town, he figured she’d show up by the time he got back. When he arrived home Louie was there instead waiting for him and trying his best to get Rob to follow him.
The two took off into the woods with Louie leading the way and it wasn’t long before Rob found Maddy stuck under a pile of wood. As Rob removed branches and worked to free her, Louie dug at the ground and helped him clear the trees. Once Maddy was finally free, she and Louie ran over to a pond that was nearby and jumped right in. They cooled off and drank a bit before heading back to the farm where Rob gave them a bunch of biscuits and wrote the note to help explain what Louie had done since he’d been gone awhile.
After hearing how Louis was a hero, his family was happy and proud about what he’d done, but they were also very worried. It seemed that Louis was in bad shape and had overdone it. He was utterly exhausted and could barely walk.
The next morning Rob came around for a visit on his bike with Maddy riding in a little basket on the back. As soon as Louie saw her, he seemed to snap right out of it and ran over to play as they normally do. Apparently, he was just worried about his best friend and once he knew that she was okay, he could finally relax.

15 Million Americans Are Undiagnosed For Thyroid Disorders. These Are The Symptoms You Can’t Ignore!

People worry about various aspects of their health, such as the functioning of their heart, lungs and brain, but seem not to focus on the health of their thyroid. Despite this lack of attention to the thyroid, it’s impact on one’s overall health is significant. The video you are about to watch below importantly looks at the symptoms of an underactive thyroid and the best medical treatment for restoring proper functioning.
The thyroid, according to the Mayo Clinic, is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the lower throat area. It’s production of two hormones, Triiodothyronine and thyroxine, are critical in the body’s ability in regulating many aspects of the body; carbohydrate usage, body temperature, and heart rate.
The failure of the gland to produce these hormones, known as Hypothyroidism, can be a result of side effects from pregnancy, certain medications as well as radiation therapy. Possible SYMPTOMS of Hypothyroidism include: Fatigue, Constipation, Sensitivity to Cold, Weight Gain, Depression, Muscle Aches, Thinning Hair, Joint Pain, Impaired Memory and Dry Skin.
Obviously many of us experience some of these symptoms, and don’t necessarily have a slow thyroid. However, if you do experience a combination of some of these symptoms over a prolonged period of time, do not ignore them! As you will hear in the upcoming video, seeing a physician to test whether your thyroid is responsible for what you are experiencing is critical.
Re-establishing a problem hormone balance with medication is the key to restoring your health and well-being. While homeopathic remedies are available, they should be used in conjunction with synthetic hormone replacement, for optimal results.

Don’t Throw These Out. These Are 6 Awesome Uses For Silica Gel Packets.
image via – shutterstock.com
Silica gel packets come in many of the packages, boxes, and things that we order online or buy from the store. Shoes and purses often have a packet tossed in them and even some bagged foods, like jerky, come with a pack of the little beads. They serve a very important purpose and are there to adsorb excess moisture from their surroundings, thus keeping the goods they’re packaged with dry and damage free. If you thought you read part of the previous sentence incorrectly, you didn’t, because adsorbs is the proper word for what silica gel does.
It’s a desiccant, which means that it adsorbs and collects moisture on it’s surface, rather than absorbing it into itself as a towel or sponge would do. Silica’s porous surface works to pull in moisture because water molecules have a lot of places to grab onto and just one of the beads can hold almost half its weight in water, that’s a lot!
We often toss silica packets out after we receive them with whatever they came with, but you should start saving them instead because they have a lot of great alternative uses. This video covers a bunch of the ways silica packets can make life easier and below are some of the best uses for them.
1) Keep car windows fog free- fog and moisture build up on car windows is dangerous and annoying, to diminish and prevent it simply place a few silica gel packets around your car and near the front and rear windows to keep fog from building up.
2) Prolong the life of expensive razors- leaving razors near or in the bathroom and shower can greatly diminish how long they last by dulling the blades. Make them last longer by wiping off the razor and storing it in a container with 4-5 silica packets.
3) Save a water damaged phone- if you ever drop your cell phone in water or it somehow manages to get wet, try this; remove the battery and memory card from the phone then place it overnight in a container filled with silica packets.
4) Safe keep old photos- preserve your memories and keep them dry by tossing a few packets of silica gel in the box they’re stored in.
5) Keep pet food fresh- pet food seems to always get kind of mushy and soggy when its kept in the bag it came in. To avoid this, store food in a separate container and tape silica packets to the underside of the lid, your pets will thank you!
6) Prevent rust- tools often take a beating and many end up covered in rust. If you toss a few silica gel packs in your tool box it helps keep them in good, rust-free condition and makes them last longer.

Dad Didn’t Know His Child’s Babysitter Was a Monster! But Then The Family Dog Began Doing The Strangest Thing!
image via – youtube.com
It’s never easy to leave your young child in the care of another person, but many people have to do it. Finding a good babysitter is just as stressful as leaving your child with them and so when Benjamin and Hope Jordan hired a woman to watch their newborn in the comfort of their home, they thought they had a good thing going.
The young couple were living in Charleston, South Carolina when they found twenty two year old Alexis Khan to care for Finn, their 7-month old son. She passed a background security check and seemed nice, responsible, and well spoken. Every weekday morning she would arrive promptly at their house before they headed out to work and stayed until they returned home in the afternoon. At first everything seemed to be going really well, there were no issues and the couple grew to trust Alexis. But at the five month point, things began to change.
The parents noticed that their dog Killian, a Labrador Retriever-German Shepherd mix, started to act very aggressive towards Alexis. He would growl and take up a protective stance, placing his body between her and Finn, whenever she came in the door. A couple of times the couple even had to hold Killian back because he would start going towards Alexis as if he was going to attack her.
They didn’t take the sudden change in their dog’s behavior lightly and knew something was wrong. Killian was normally a very sweet, friendly dog who had never acted so defensively towards anyone before. Instead of ignoring him, Benjamin and Hope decided to hide an iPhone under the living room couch to record what was going on while they were gone. They thought that maybe it would help shed light on why their dog hated the babysitter.
When they got home and checked the recording, they were shocked at what they heard. It started off with Alexis yelling and swearing at Finn while he cried. Their surprise quickly changed to horror when they heard slapping noises and their son crying out in obvious pain. From there it only got worse when they heard what seemed to be shaking sounds and after that they immediately brought their baby to the hospital to have him checked out. Shaking a baby can easily cause serious, permanent injuries or even death and they couldn’t rest until they knew Finn was okay.
Thankfully he was okay, and the abuse was reported to the police who investigated the babysitter. At first, she denied any wrongdoing but when they played the recording, she finally confessed to what she had done. After pleading guilty she was convicted of child abuse and sentenced to 3 years in jail but got released early on parole after serving just one year. Alexis also had to register with the child abuse registry which bars her from ever working with children again.
Killian ended up saving the day, and potentially even Finn’s life, thanks to his change in behavior. If he hadn’t been so aggressive and adamant, perhaps Benjamin and Hope would not have noticed or looked into Alexis. The dog isn’t done yet either, he ended up being trained to be a psychiatric service animal, which he is probably wonderful at!

They Spot A Puppy Alone In a Rusty Cage At The Park. Then They See This Disturbing Message Written On His Head
image via – youtube.com
Anyone who wants a dog needs to be prepared for the responsibility that it entails. Being a pet owner is a full time job that requires a lot of time and attention, if you can’t give an animal the life it deserves, then you shouldn’t have one.
Unfortunately, people who have no business owning a pet sometimes end up with one. Oftentimes they realize too late that they’re not up to the task and so they either surrender or dump the animal somewhere. That’s what happened in the unbelievable case of Marvella, a 5 moth old puppy who was found abandoned in a Chillicothe, Ohio park by a couple.
They had gone out for a walk when they suddenly stumbled across a little white puppy locked inside a metal cage. The poor dog had words written in black permanent marker all over its body, including “free”, “good home only”, and “I am a gift from God.” It was incredibly disturbing to see a dog locked up and abandoned like that, but the messages written in fur were especially cruel.
The couple ended up calling the police who brought the puppy to the Ross County Humane Society. When the staff there first saw the dog they were appalled at her appearance and decided to call her Marvella, from the French word “merveille” which means miracle.
They immediately set out to clean up her fur and washed her gently with a mixture of dish soap and hydrogen peroxide. When they were done only the faintest marks remained and the staff showered Marvella with all the love and attention she deserved.
They also shared her story online where it quickly went viral, people all over the world were smitten with the cute little puppy’s happy smiling face.
Adoption applications soon poured in and after sifting through well over 90 of them, one family was finally chosen to be her forever home. Within a week Marvella was out of the shelter and in her new home with the Reitzel family, who were over the moon to be placed with such a great dog.
Perhaps just as important as Marvella’s happy ending was the spotlight her story shone on all the other animals who are abandoned and surrendered every day. Many people were inspired to donate to the shelter and the awareness she raised helped many other dogs stuck in similar situations.

THIS Guy From Kenya Dug A Hole For 3 Miles For The Most UNTHINKABLE Reason!
image via – youtube.com
If you’ve ever had to deal with government bureaucracy and all the red tape that goes along with it, then you know how long and frustrating it can be to get anything done. It seems like even the simplest of problems can take months, usually even years, to get fixed. By the time that happens, most people have already found ways around whatever the issue may be or gone ahead and tried to fix it themselves.
It’s not just an American or first world problem, even the remotest of places in the middle of Africa are stuck dealing with government ineptitude. For the small village of Kaganda, located two hours north of Nairobi, Kenya, residents had been asking the local government to build a road for years, yet they never seemed to get anywhere. A date had previously been set to begin construction but that was over 5 years ago, so they began to lose hope of ever getting the road built.
The villagers badly needed this particular road built because there was only one paved road in town and a couple of dirt ones. The one road that brings them to the closest market and church in the area isn’t a direct route, instead they have to travel 2.5 miles out of the way to get there. Then they must walk that extra 2.5 miles with all their groceries on the way back. Despite their constant pleas for a new direct route to the market, the government could not get the ball rolling and they remained majorly inconvenienced for years.
For a while the villagers used a shortcut through the bush, but they were cutting across private property. The property owner eventually put a fence up, effectively blocking the shortcut, and so they went back to taking the long way. At that point, a local 45 year old man named Nicholas Muchami decided to get the job done the old fashioned way. He was sick of waiting for a road that might not ever get built and so he set to work digging it himself.
Using just the farm tools he had, he worked to clear the land. He cut down trees and bushes, pulled up roots, and dug out a path for the road that would lead directly from the village to the market area. Nicholas worked tirelessly from 7am to 5pm no matter what the weather was or how hot it got. In just six days he had managed to clear 1.5km and had made a dirt road wide enough for cars to drive on and the villagers were thrilled.
Eventually Nicholas had to take a break from his volunteer work. He normally worked odd jobs to make money and since he wasn’t getting paid, he needed to get back to work to provide for his family. He also needed to rest, and when he did a few other villagers picked up where he’d left off to help finish the road.
News of the road and how it was built soon spread and major news outlets like the BBC sent camera crews to get pictures of it. When the story went global people started sending Nicholas gifts, food, and money to help support and show how much they appreciated what he was doing. Their kind gifts enabled him to focus and work only on the road, which he soon completed.
In the end, Nicholas had dug just under three miles almost all by himself. When asked what motivated him, he said that he did it for the women and children in the village and to save everyone time. Now trips to the market or church are drastically shorter and the elderly, sick, and disabled can take a car there in just minutes. All this is possible because one man decided to do the work himself rather than wait for the government who had been promising it for years.
