The antics come to a sudden stop when he realizes that such excitement is not always good on a full stomach. Rocky's breakfast makes an unexpected reappearance on the kitchen floor. The owner was no longer laughing when she saw the mess!

Sometimes the most unlikely friendships are the most interesting. This little fish has found somebody to hang out with, eat with, and hide under when things get dangerous. These two buddies seem to be inseparable! Perhaps they remind us all of a unique friendship of our own.

Curious about what it looked like at the bottom of the lake at the family cottage, Kristy convinced her husband Dave to send his GoPro down go get some video. The two dangled the camera on a float and let it drift. What they did not expect was the eerie, ghostly effect or footage that included large bass approaching the camera for a closer look. There is obviously a lot more going on beneath the waves than we can see.

A cyclist stops to take a break and a herd of cows come over to see what he is doing. He can't resist their pleading looks and he feeds them some grass but forgets about the electric fence. He leans too close and gets a jolt in his armpit. These cows proved to be a little smarter than this cyclist. It's an unforgettable experience!

Fiona is a wonderful cow with a beautiful disposition. She has been treated with kindness and love and she responds very well to the farmers who care for her and also to her human friend who comes to visit occasionally. Dave has spent time in the meadow, helping the farmers with the fences and other tasks. He has been called to assist with cows delivering their calves and he was right there when Fiona's first baby, "Hope" took her first wobbly steps. Dave has also been asked to babysit the cows when the farmers have gone away, and Dave has enjoyed lots of time wandering the gorgeous, green meadows, checking on the herd. The cows here approach their human friends for a pat on the head and they are given handfuls of corn on occasion. Dave was watching Fiona as she rubbed her face and eyes on a patch of ground, looking for relief from the itch. Willing to lend a hand, Dave approached her and put out his hand. She caught on immediately and bobbed her head up and down as if to tell him where to scratch.

This Canada goose was standing at the side of the road near a stream in the middle of nowhere. He seemed very interested in the car as this cameraman drove past. He backed up the car and the goose walked over to look in the open window. He waited patiently while our driver got out some corn and set up the GoPro. The cameraman actually sat with the goose and munched corn behind the camera, only a foot or two away from the friendly goose, proving that even the animals in Canada are friendly!

Hamish's Farm in Keene' Ontario is home to may very interesting animals. Among the most interesting is Violet, a 4 month old Lamanche goat who seems to believe that she is a puppy. Since she was born, she has followed Hamish and his mother, Gertrude around the farm wherever they go. She will wander up to them, or even visitors, looking for affection and attention. She gently places her head against them, begging to be scratched and rubbed, just like a dog would. Violet is very smart and she quickly figures out everything on the farm, such as how to get food that she is not supposed to get into. But, with an adorable face like that, how can anyone ever be annoyed with Violet? Hamish's Farm burned down in November 2016. He and his mother are rebuilding and life on the farm is slowly returning to normal. Barn construction will begin very soon! Isn't this affectionate goat just adorable? Who knew that they liked to be pet like a puppy does! It must be hard to rebuild after something so devastating happened to their farm. It just goes to show you that once you power through the difficult times in your life, life tends to get a lot better! Most people do not have the privilege of having their very own goat to cuddle with.

Indie is an adorable baby elephant who loves watermelon. He can't resist them, and once he realizes this handler has a few in his hands he chases him all across the yard for them. Indie lives at the Elephant Nature Park in Chang Mai, Thailand. It is a place where rescued elephants go to be in a natural habitat while they recover.

India is a country full of incredible beauty, mixed with severe hardship. It is described as "the land of contrasts" because of the extreme differences in advantages from one area to another and the fact that the line between each is often very fine. This is true for the people and it is also true for the animals here, as we see in the case of these wild monkeys. Monkeys in India inhabit the forests and jungles, and also the cities, particularly on the edges where they are free to come and go easily between wilderness and populated areas. Attracted to the markets and restaurant areas where food can be found, they boldly walk down streets and climb buildings, often venturing very close to people. Many people here feed the monkeys, out of kindness, and the monkeys have grown accustomed to being in close proximity with humans. These monkeys come daily to this section of Agra and they feast on bananas and other fruit that is tossed their way. But one particular monkey caught the eye of these Canadian tourists with the video camera. Fascinated by the sight of these clever animals eating bananas, they filmed and took pictures. But as they did so, they noticed that one of the monkeys had a very severe problem with all of its limbs. The hind limbs were misshapen and short, with deformed feet that made walking and climbing difficult. Its hands did not have the five digits that all the other monkeys have. Instead, it had two larger digits that it used awkwardly in an attempt to manage the banana that it was eating. The baby monkey seemed to be well cared for by its mother and the other monkeys allowed it to eat in peace. Often, animals can be cruel to those with any weakness, and competition for food can mean that the weak die of starvation while the others eat their share. Despite the obvious deformities, this little monkey dealt with the difficulty like a champion.

Reef Sharks are intimidating beasts that grow to ten feet in length and weigh up to 350 pounds. They patrol the reef, often in packs, almost always looking for food. They can be solitary hunters on occasion but when one shows up it's more common to see a second, third, or even more close behind. They are primarily scavengers and no threat to people who treat them with caution and respect, but their arrival still causes any scuba diver to become wary. Despite their general lack of interest in attacking or biting people, they still have a huge mouth full of teeth and a stare so intense that even seasoned divers feel like they at their mercy. These young divers entering the water in Belize were expecting a routine cruise over the reef. They took along a couple of spears to deal with Lionfish, an invasive species that has no natural predators in these waters, yet they eat so many small fish that they threaten the overall health of the reef. Lionfish are routinely fed to Moray Eels, Nurse Sharks and Groupers in an attempt to encourage predation on the species but it is considered very very unwise to spear Lionfish in the presence of apex predators like Reef Sharks. Encouraging the feeding response in such cases would greatly increase the risk of aggression. These Reef Sharks, like most <a href="https://rumble.com/v30hdr-divers-circled-by-bull-sharks-and-reef-sharks.html" target="_blank">large ocean creatures</a> are very curious and they appear in the distance at the start of this dive, circling and investigating the possibility of food. With a sense of smell keen enough to detect a wounded fish from a great distance, the sharks know they can swoop in and snatch a fish right off the spear. The divers found that the reef sharks appeared in greater numbers at the end of the dive, with at least six full grown <a href="https://rumble.com/v351ed-large-sharks-sudden-close-approach-scares-divers.html" target="_blank">sharks circling them closely</a>. Divers must complete a three minute safety stop, hovering at 20 feet from the surface before they ascend to the boat. It is at this time that a diver is most vulnerable and the presence of these sharks below them was a thrilling, but hair raising experience. Reef Sharks are a very new sight on the reef in the area of San Pedro, Belize. They have not appeared here until the past three to four years.

An enormous barracuda shows no fear as it drifts among divers and stares right into the lens of this GoPro camera. Growing to a length of six feet, these fearsome fish have nothing to be afraid of. This one gives a glimpse of the huge teeth that make these fish one of the most incredible predators on the reef. They are known for attacking fish almost their own size, biting them in half in the process. At full size, the barracuda will often approach divers or follow them out of curiosity. The shiny GoPro seems to catch the eye of this one!

Seated quietly and patiently in the woods, this man found that a herd of wild deer could not resist the smell and crunch of apples. Deer in this area are protected from hunting and they occasionally let humans approach closely. Surprisingly, this deer actually crunched on an apple right in his hands. The other deer were extremely curious and they came over to investigate.

This Lamborghini owner loves nothing more than driving his all wheel drive supercar in the snow. After a fresh snowfall, he heads out to do some drifting. He passes a jogger who can't believe his eyes. He shrugs and motions at the car as if to ask the motorist behind if it's real.

Jim is a decorated WWII hero and a man with a profound love for all animals. He had never met a lion close up and he said he would love to touch one. His wish came true and more when this lion gave him a very warm greeting. The lion took to Jim immediately, licking his cheek and then wrapping its huge paws around him. It then lay down at his feet to enjoy a scratch behind the ears. Its behavior was extremely touching and it gave Jim an experience that he never forgot!

A large porcupine fish swims right up to the camera as if to ask for its picture to be taken. With such a cute face it's hard to believe that this fish is extremely poisonous and dangerous to touch. Porcupine fish are the second most poisonous vertebrate on the planet!

JuJube is a wonderful little calf with some troubles. He was born with weakness in his legs that made it nearly impossible for him to get up and walk. He was otherwise healthy and the mother had lots of milk for him. She tried to position herself so that he could nurse, but it wasn't going to work unless he could get to his feet. She nudged him and licked him, bellowing encouragement. JuJube tried to stand, but he just wasn't able. Farmer Dave saw that neither of them was ready to give up and he decided that he would not give up either. He bottle fed JuJube and helped him stand long enough to nurse. Bernise did her part and seemed to understand that the farmer was helping them. As this continued, she became less protective and she allowed Dave to do his work to make life easier for both of them. A veterinarian was called and they believed that the problem was a selenium deficiency, known as "white muscle disease". They gave JuJube vitamin and selenium supplements by injection. They also wondered if it was a joint problem that made walking painful. They began a series of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. The farmer and an assistant took turns helping JuJube to his feet several times each day. Bernise eagerly stood in position to let him nurse and JuJube gained strength each day. But a calf who lies down is difficult to clean and Bernise could not keep her baby clean enough. The farm hand gave JuJube daily sponge baths in order to help him stay healthy. Surprisingly, Bernise had enough trust to allow this unusual task to be done. Normally, a mother cow will not let humans handle newborns, but Bernise has been well treated on this wonderful farm and she has come to trust those who care for her. As time went on, JuJube began gettung up on his own and he began following Bernise around the pasture. It looks like JuJube will be okay, thanks to a trusting mother and a farmer who cared enough to never give up.

Eunice is a very dedicated mother cow. She has chosen a spot in the sun to give birth on this beautiful farm in Ontario, Canada. She knows that her calf is on the way and she settles down in the meadow at the edge of the herd. Often, a cow will pick a secluded spot to have her calf so that she can make sure it isn't stepped on and that she has some privacy to nurse and look after the new baby when it arrives. But Eunice seems unconcerned with the rest of the herd being close. They are curious, but respectful as she begins to deliver her baby. A seasoned mother, Eunice doesn't need much time from when her water breaks to the time that she pushes out her baby. Gladys slides smoothly out onto the grass and Eunice springs to her feet to check on her. A mother cow relies on instincts that tell her to quickly eat the afterbirth and lick the calf clean. This serves several purposes. Cleaning the calf and the area will prevent predators from smelling blood and the scent of a birth, signalling that a vulnerable baby has just arrived. The licking also helps stimulate the calf and make it more alert and ready to walk. A calf must be on its feet as soon as possible to nurse and to move with her mother to avoid any threats. The rest of the cows will also protect the young, but it's only possible if the calf is able to get its legs under it. Gladys is quick to try getting up and she is adorably clumsy in her first attempts at standing. Eunice waits patiently, encouraging her with soft moos and gentle nudges and licks. Eventually, Gladys finds the milk supply and begins to nurse. She will receive the colostrum that builds her immune system in this first milk. It's crucial to the calf's future health. The licking and early nursing will also solidify the bond between mother and calf, allowing them to find each other by voice and by smell, as much as by sight. Gladys will stay close to her mother in the early days and will gradually gain independence as she wanders farther away when she is strong enough to run quickly. Gladys and Eunice could not have picked a better place to live. They will wander over lush green meadows, drink from ponds full of fresh water, and roam through a forested area. It is an ethical farm where calves are not separated from their mothers. The farmers do not produce veal or dairy. Both of these cows will enjoy a long life that will be as close as possible to what nature intended for such gentle creatures. For those who commit to a vegetarian lifestyle, their choice is commendable. Those who chose to eat meat can source their food from ethical farms such as this one so that they are not contributing to factory farming. Supporting the farmers who do things right will mean a life free of the cruelty and suffering associated with larger, profit-driven operations.

There is nothing cuter than a newborn lion cub. This is Aslan, an eight week old lion that spent some time in a foster home. Aslan explores the living room, yawns, settles down and has a snooze. He's like a kitten with enormous paws and soft fur. Just like a kitten, he loves to play and he loves to cuddle. Having a fluffy little lion cub fall asleep in your arms is an unforgettable experience.

Bandit is a one year old Great Dane with a fun-loving personality. He adores his miniature buddy, Lil Bear, and he plays with him in a very comical way. The two best friends share a rope toy that allows them to play tug-of-war and other games. But the unique part is that when one dog is tiny, and the other is the size of a pony, tug-of-war becomes more like a thrill ride at the carnival. Bear actually lifts off and goes through the air as he hangs on for dear life. The amazing part is how much he seems to enjoy this game and how he keeps coming back for more. Bandit loves the game too, and in a very impressive way, he shows that he is well aware of his size and power, and he swings the dog with a gentleness that warms the heart. He could easily send this little dog into a full spin or let go and watch him sail across the room. At one point, Bandit carefully steps backwards, taking care not to crush Lil Bear under a massive paw. Bandit is an amazing dog who is more than just a loyal companion and beloved family member. He is also a service dog who provides comfort and assistance to Danielle, a young lady in this family who is autistic. Danielle faces challenges, including anxiety, and Bandit is specially trained to recognize certain behaviors and distract her when needed. He also keeps her safe and helps the family find her if she manages to wander. Bandit is a very bright dog who provides Danielle with much more than the usual friendship that we hope for in an animal companion. He is dearly loved by his family. Lil Bear is an equally loved silver Yorkie with no apparent understanding of how small he is. He seems to believe he is as big and formidable as his giant friend. In fact, Lil Bear is the leader and the boss in this household. He loves these games and he enjoys any opportunity to show that he is not afraid of things getting rough. With a bark or a snarl, Lil Bear often sends Bandit running. You can't help but admire that kind of spunk. These two have played this game since Bandit came home at 8 weeks old. Lil Bear will often bring the pull toy to Bandit, asking for the games to begin. He enjoys the hair raising ride immensely, even though the amount of air that he gets and the distance he flies gets greater each day as Bandit grows. Perhaps the only thing that would make this interaction any funnier would be if Lil Bear could be equipped with a helmet so he could enjoy a little more air time!

Backyard birdfeeders are a buffet for jays, blackbirds and crows. Every morning, birds of various kinds gather to get the corn and peanuts that are set out for them. But there is one creature who visits the feeder and rules the roost. A feisty little black squirrel shows even the crows who is boss. Despite the fact that they are more than twice his size, he takes on three and puts the run on the whole bunch before stuffing his cheeks and gazing into the camera. It seems this fluffy little fellow wants to be the boss AND the star! Food is food, right? Check out this squirrel eat from the bird feeder!

Farming has gone as far back as ancient times and the benefits humans acquire from it is beyond words. As all cultures in this world, farming has also evolved along side the quick upbringing of technology. Nowadays we can make numbers of a produce in a day, what people could once make in a year. Now taking this consideration you would think that technology would mean machines and even chemically induced growth, however what you are about to see in this video is far beyond "technology". That's right, this man's wife has it out for technology and proves that the good 'ol ways are not something to underestimate. Kristy is a gardener with a very green thumb. All of her vegetables do incredibly well, but the tomatoes are particularly robust. Some of them even look like a cross breed with a watermelon. They grow so large that they break the vines from which they hang before they reach their peak of ripeness. Tired of finding them on the ground under a broken stem, Kristy has come up with a brilliant solution. But she did not mention this to her husband, Dave. On a sunny day while Kristy was at work, Dave started hankering for a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. He'd been told that the vegetables are ready for harvest and they need to be eaten. He's more than willing to do his part so he took a stroll through the tomato patch to grab a few and he got a big surprise. Kristy had solved her tomato dilemma by hanging some of the bigger ones in her bras. She strapped them around the wire cages that support the plants and then had two tomatoes right where you would expect them. The garden hack was so clever and so hilarious that Dave went to get his camera so he could get this on video. He's not sure what Kristy will think of her unmentionables being shared with the world but he'll find out soon enough. As Dave takes us on a little garden tour, he contemplates where this idea would even come from. Kristy might just be reading gardening magazines that are a little more progressive and daring than he once thought. Dave even sees some items in the garden that he doesn't recognize. It's probably for the best that Dave did not venture over to the zucchini or <a href="https://rumble.com/v7vuzd-dog-tries-watermelon-and-loves-it.html" target="_blank">watermelon</a> section of the <a href="https://rumble.com/v840u9-german-shepard-loves-garden-hose.html" target="_blank">garden</a>.

Moray eels have a reputation for being vicious and unpredictable. These 7 foot long beasts have two sets of jaws and a powerful bite that could sever fingers easily. But the truth is that they are generally more curious than vicious. This diver uses a slow and careful approach and finds himself looking right into the eyes of a very inquisitive eel. Few divers have ever had a view like this one!

These cows live on a beautiful farm near Peterborough, Ontario. The animals here live a good life, with lush, green meadows to graze in and forest nearby. They have two ponds to drink from and a lot of space to roam. Except during the harsh winter months, they roam free over these large pastures and enjoy a live that is as close to what nature intended as possible. The farmers treat the animals well and watch over them from their house on top of the hill. Flo is a loving mother cow who has just had a calf. Unfortunately, she chose a spot beside the fence, near the pond, and her baby slipped under the electric fence as it was born. This fence is designed to keep predators out of the field and to prevent the cows from wandering onto the road that runs along one side of this pasture. Flo's young calf doesn't have the strength, or the understanding to get back through the fence and she can't get to him. It's a warm spring day and the calf is lying in the sun in the long grass not far from the busy road. Flo was not expected to calf until the following day and the farmers have left briefly to run an errand. Flo was starting to become frantic about her calf. A passing motorist, Dave, who lives nearby, stopped to video tape other cows that were cooling off in the pond. Dave is a hobby videographer and wanted to get some footage for a video he was making. He set up a camera on the fence post and had another one in his hand. When he approached the fence, Flo began to moo loudly and pace back and forth. She pawed at the dirt and bellowed. It appeared to Dave that she was annoyed with a stranger near the fence. He turned his camera toward her but he moved farther away to give her some space. Flo paced back and forth, continuing her odd behavior for about five minutes. She was staring at Dave and then at the grass outside the fence. It slowly occurred to Dave that she was not angry, but possibly asking him to look outside the fence. He took his camera and walked over to the spot she was staring at. Dave was surprised to discover a newborn calf on the wrong side of the fence. It was motionless and didn't even appear to be alive in those first few moments. Then it moved. Suddenly Dave realized that Flo had been asking him to help. She appeared to become calmer as he approached the calf, but Dave didn't know what to expect from this protective mother if he moved too quickly. He spoke to her and looked around. He could see that the farmers' truck was not at the house. The gate to the field was a long way off and the fence was too high to lift the calf over. But the electric wires could be lifted and the calf could be helped back under the fence. Dave got a stick from a tree and set to work. He crouched down and lifted the wires. The calf wasn't able to stand. Its umbilical cord was still fresh and Dave knew the calf was only an hour or two old at the most. He pushed the calf and wiggled it until it was under the wires. Both he and the calf received a few shocks but there wasn't a better way to get it back to the mother. Eventually, the little calf was reunited with his mom and both were visibly relieved. Dave had mounted his handheld camera on the tree behind him when he got the stick. He had no idea how Flo was going to react and he though he might as well record it. He had forgotten about the camera on the fence post by this point, but it recorded the whole thing as well. It wouldn't be until later, when he watched the footage, that he fully understood Flo's reaction. At one point she seems to bow down. After Dave walked away, she stared at him curiously. As Flo and her baby walked away to join the herd, the farmers drove past and stopped. They heard about what happened and said that Flo was still pregnant when they left two hours earlier. They said they needed to treat the umbilical cord with iodine, check the calf, and tag it. They invited Dave to help, and to bring his camera along if he wanted more footage. Dave wandered among the cows and recorded. In a touching moment, the little calf, now known as "Sparky" because of the electric fence, approached Dave curiously, followed by Flo. They seemed to recognize him from a few hours earlier. They gave him a long look and a sniff before walking away. This exchange between Flo and Dave clearly demonstrates that Flo was capable of understanding that a stranger could help her. She knew what she needed and made a clear attempt to communicate. She also demonstrated a touching love for her newborn baby. If animals are capable of such emotional capacity, surely they deserve only the best treatment possible from all of us.

Humpback whales are among the most revered and respected animals on the planet, and for good reason. They are highly intelligent, extremely social, and they have been around for millions of years. And they are beautiful. This large male has come to Tonga to find a mate. The females come here to bear their calves in the safe waters around the islands. There are no killer whales here, the largest threat to their survival in the early years.

Bandit is a lovable Great Dane with more than his share of character. He loves to create havoc in his house and he even seems to have a sense of humor that would rival that of most people. This adorable giant dog has created a game that involves sitting his ample butt down right on the face of any unsuspecting family member who stretches out on the living room floor. Great Danes are known for their long, gangly legs, giant heads, and goofy personalities. They have a mix of gracefulness and clumsiness that makes everything they do a joy to watch. But any Great Dane owner will tell you that almost every one of them seems to be completely oblivious of their size and weight. They lean on people as a show of affection, but their strength will push most people over. When they act like lap dogs, climbing onto their owners as if they are Pomeranians, their weight is crushing. They are known for climbing into bed with their family and stretching out so much that their people are pushed right off the edge of the mattress. Bandit is doing exactly this here. He puts on an innocent face and wags his tail, as if surprised that his monstrous back side could nearly suffocate an unwary person. He seems to understand the laughter too and he looks quite pleased with himself, enough so that he sits down again, squarely on Devin's face. He looks around for approval and he gets some of that from Laurie who laughs as she holds the camera. Luckily, Devin is a nurse and he fully understands the need to clean a face that comes into contact with the back end of an enormous dog. He also knows the best products to use to get the job done. But Devin knows that Bandit is not trying to be disgusting and that it's actually a big display of affection. Bandit seems to think that Devin should be honored that he would sit where he did. Bandit is an amazing dog who is more than just a loyal companion and beloved family member. He is also a service dog who provides comfort and assistance to Danielle, a young lady in this family who is autistic. Danielle faces challenges, including anxiety, and Bandit is specially trained to recognize certain behaviors and distract her when needed. He also keeps her safe and helps the family find her if she manages to wander. Bandit is a very bright dog who provides Danielle with much more than the usual friendship that we hope for in an animal companion. He is dearly loved, and also greatly needed by his family. And as if this were not enough, he also provides them with an abundance of laughter with his ridiculous antics.
