A cute corgi makes a daring escape from behind a puppy proof fence. Filmed in July, this adorable footage shows Beau, an 11 week old puppy, pulling down and climbing over a gate which was meant to confine it to the kitchen. The video was shot in Wapakoneta, Ohio, by the dog's loving owner Dan McLaughlin, who wanted to know how the mischievous puppy kept breaking loose. Beau was born on May 31, as part of a litter of four puppies and was bought by animal lover Dan who lives with his girlfriend. Dan said: “When we left the apartment, we would put Beau behind the fence. But every time we would come back, even if we were just gone for a few minutes, we would find him roaming around the apartment and the puppy fence knocked over." So, the couple did what every other confused puppy owner would do - they set up a camera. Lo and behold, tiny <a href="https://rumble.com/v3526v-adorable-corgi-puppy-howls.html" target="_blank">Corgi</a> Beau used his even tinier mouth to pull the doggy gate out and roam the apartment, free as a bird! The 21-year-old insists that Beau definitely has an adventurous side. He said: “The first few nights we had him, we put him in a laundry basket with blankets to sleep in, and it didn't take long for him to find a way to climb out of it. “He hates being constrained to a small space, and will find anyway possible to get out." We feel you, pup!

Carl opened Single Vision nine years ago and currently has six tigers, two lions, two bear cubs, two mountain lions, two bobcats, and two alligators.

The bears lived inside Carl’s home when they were young, but now live in an outdoor enclosure. The brown bear is the most widely distributed bear and can be found across much of northern Eurasia and North America. It is also one of the largest living terrestrial members of the order Carnivora, rivaled in body size only by its close cousin, the <a href="https://rumble.com/v33q3u-polar-bear-wakes-up-with-nino-baby-bottle.html">polar bear</a>. They are very smart animals, so it comes as no surprise that this talented fella quickly mastered the art of surfing. When he doesn't surf, his favorite pastime is nursing (he is a baby after all), and you can see just how cute he looks while nursing in the video. The owner may need to find a bigger pool once Bruiser grows up.

The wild wild world outside our door is full of wonders. You can’t predict someone’s actions any more than you can predict the weather. It just doesn’t happen. The inner workings of the mind are off limits to us humans, and this applies to anything walking and breathing on this earth. That is why this footage is so precious. Most <a href=https://rumble.com/v32rf1-caught-on-camera-crocodile-catches-a-leaping-impala.html”” target=”_blank”>impalas</a> run for their lives at the sight of a leopard - but this plucky youngster seems determined to befriend one. It shows no fear and it braves the wrath of the fierce cat. The bizarre interaction filmed in the Kruger National Park, South Africa, sees the baby animal nuzzling the killer cat's nose and mouth as it lazes in a clearing. And even when the <a href=https://rumble.com/v32rg8-caught-on-camera-leopard-runs-off-with-gopro.html”” target=”_blank”>leopard</a> starts playing a little rough, the newborn makes no attempt to leave - and even follows it around. If we’d have anything to compare it to, we’d say that it looks as though these two are acting like two siblings. The older brother isn’t too fond of its little sister’s pestering and is quite vocal about it, but the youngster is having none of it. Friendships like this one are very far and inbetween in the wilderness, making this footage very precious. The encounter was filmed by game ranger Estiaan Houy, 31, while out on safari with British and American guests. Don’t you just wish you’d have been there witnessing this first-hand? Absolutely breathtaking!

Sharks are one of the most dangerous animals on this planet. Whenever we go to the beach and try to get our soak on and enjoy the sum and the big blue waters, there is always this very important factor to remember, that sharks do exist and they are very very vicious creatures. For some of us however adrenaline seem to be one of our favorite things and we usually go out of our way to seek for it. The main issue here is that sharks are not that keen to anyone else coming to their territories unless its a fish which they enjoy for breakfast. A magnificent <a href="https://rumble.com/v3xg3v-great-white-shark-feeding.html" target="_blank">great white shark</a> leaps from the water to take a chunk out of a would-be seal.These amazing full breaches were conceived using a foam rubber seal decoy – which is dragged behind a shark cage diving boat, as a way of enticing the hungry predator. Shot by filmmakers Mark van Coller and Morne Hardenberg in Cape Town, between June and August of 2013 and 2014, the footage demonstrates the frightening power and agility of the iconic animal. But achieving such incredible shots is only possible if the conditions are right. In this video in particular we have the great luck of experiencing the great power of sharks. The powerful way of their movement when they hunt, the scary look of their appearance, let alone how plain scary they look. Ether way, they cant get you through the screen, so go ahead and take a look at this video as it will show you how dangerous sharks can really be. Enjoy!

When it comes to bath time, the dogs are divided. They either love it to the moon and back, or refuse to be associated with the stuff. But one tiny little pup seems to really be enjoying his first puppy shower, in the hands of the good people who rescued him from certain death. The two-week-old was found abandoned in a dumpster with his two sisters, but now it looks like his troubles are a million miles away. The small <a href="https://rumble.com/v3ymed-the-thanksgiving-ringworm-puppies.html" target="_blank">litter</a> was found by Dallas Animal Service and referred to the DFW Rescue Me animal shelter, where volunteer Claire Fowler was tasked with looking after the babies. The 21-year-old student said: “The little guys need round-the-clock care – they can’t use the restroom by themselves or even regulate their own body temperature. I do everything for them and they need to be fed every couple of hours.” When asked for what made her decide to film this glorious moment of blissful nirvana, Claire said: “I decided to film him in the bath because he was enjoying it so much and I really wanted to capture it. He just looked so content.” She adds that his sisters don’t enjoy bath time as much, but it still has to be done. None of the babes have names yet because they are still so young, but Clair is certain they will all get strong names. This little brown dude will definitely not grow up to be like the Great Dane, who did everything in her power to <a href="https://rumble.com/v30fok-great-dane-at-bathtime.html" target="_blank">stay dirty</a>.

A bunny breeded from California is the proud owner of the world’s furriest rabbits. Their fur can reach lengths of almost 15 inches in length! Betty Chu, a former professor of economics has been dedicated to breeding the fluffy bunnies for 34 years to produce prize-winning English angora rabbits. The 70-year-old retired professor from San Jose State University was introduced to the breed via a friend and she fell in love with them immediately. Today, she and her husband share their home in San Jose, California with 50 English and French angora rabbits. Betty, who is part of the Northern California Angora Guild, competes at up to 50 shows a year. The undisputed queen of the <a href="https://rumble.com/v31y4a-cute-and-curious-angora-rabbit.html" target="_blank">angora</a> category has won countless best-in-show awards. But she made headlines when her best bunny Franchesca was entered in the <a href="https://rumble.com/v3cqkl-cleveland-woman-lands-in-guinness-book-of-world-records-as-the-oldest-perso.html" target="_blank">Guinness Book of World Records</a> for having the longest fur in the world, measuring 14.37 inches. The bunnies all have an extensive beauty regime to keep them in shape for the rabbit show circuit. Still, Betty says that there is a lot to get you there. "You need to have the right genetics; not all angora rabbits have the ability to grow and maintain a long coat,” says the dedicated breeder. "Next you need to take very good care. The owner needs to be very vigilant in keeping the rabbit well-maintained and in good condition.” Francheska might be a pageant queen, but even they need to leave offspring at some point in their lives. And when her boyfriend couldn’t find Francesca's “hidden treasure” under her luscious coat, Betty had to give her a haircut. She uses the fur to make scarves and mitten, which she sells at shows.
