Homeowner remains incredibly calm as black bear knocks on glass back door with paw
A homeowner remained incredibly calm as a black bear knocked on her glass back door.
Hannah Bowyer was at home in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, USA, on February 22 when a bear suddenly appeared in her backyard on the lookout for food.
Incredible footage showed the 4.5ft tall animal pace towards the house while Hannah watched nervously along with her cat.
After her feline friend decided to run away to safety, the bear knocked on the window in the door with its huge paw while looking inside.
Hannah said: “I was super nervous that he might break the glass and I realised he was looking right at me and I thought maybe I need to get out of sight.
“So at that point I went into the downstairs bathroom and shut the door until I didn’t hear him anymore.
“Everyone in our neighbourhood sees the bear pretty frequently, but no one has gotten video of him literally coming up and touching one of the homes.
“He hung around my house that day for probably about 30 minutes leaving at one point and then coming back.
“He has totally destroyed two other birdfeeders so I wasn’t super happy to see him knocking those over again.”

Brave police officer's heroic act averts liquefied gas cylinder explosion
On February 21st, in Hubei Province, northern China, resident Mrs. Zheng accidentally ignited a liquefied gas cylinder due to aging and damage to the gas pipe while cooking pork belly at home. In a state of urgency, Mrs. Zheng dragged the burning gas cylinder to the middle of the road.

Terrified tourists flee as massive snowball rolls down, breaking barriers at Chinese scenic spot
Terrified tourists fled as a snowball rolled down, breaking barriers at a scenic spot in southwestern China.
Video filmed in Nyingchi City in Tibet Autonomous Region on March 8 shows terrified tourists screaming and running away as a massive snowball suddenly rolls down a mountainside, crashing through barriers and heading straight towards them.
A visitor shouted, "Come back quickly!" to alert others to the danger.
A spokesperson for the Kadling Gorge scenic area addressed the incident, attributing it to climatic conditions. It's common for snow to accumulate near the waterfall due to slow melting. The snowball, formed from ice accumulated by the waterfall and covered with snow, rolled down unexpectedly.
The spokesperson emphasized that despite its dramatic appearance, the slope was relatively gentle, spanning only a few meters, and did not qualify as an avalanche.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported from the snowball incident, and operations at the scenic area remain unaffected.
The spokesperson highlighted safety measures in place, including barriers installed in accessible areas to ensure visitor safety. Additionally, staff members are stationed throughout the area to respond promptly to any unforeseen circumstances.
The scenic area pledges to continue strengthening safety protocols to guarantee the well-being of all visitors.

Owl's unexpected flight landing near skier
Info from Licensor: I had followed a hare while skiing. I was returning when I saw an owl in a tree. Sometimes you can get close to them so I decided to give it a go. Suddenly an owl dared to fly towards me. I stopped to see how close it flew. I felt peace, not the threat of attack. Nature sent a messenger. Like it's asking 'Where have you been?' I enjoy being in nature a lot, but recently I have been less. I spoke to it calmly. It was amazing to look it in the eyes. The owl's gaze is strong! The general theory is that the owls are short of food this winter and maybe it heard, saw, and mistook the tip of the ski for a mole when it looked from a tree in the distance.

No, you are not impaired, this is a real pink elephan
No, you are not impaired, this is a real pink elephant.
The little bull was seen enjoying a swim session with his family in South Africa this month.
Safari operator Theo Potgieter captured the unusual sight at the Olifants (Elephants in Afrikaans language) River in Kruger National Park on 9 February.
He says: "A handful of sightings have been reported of this young bull late 2023, but to my knowledge there is no footage."
"As a safari operator frequently visiting Kruger National Park I have been lucky enough to have witnessed animals with a recessive gene before including: impala antelope, wildebeest, lion and various birds."
"I knew that this was a special moment and grabbed the camera to start shooting for confirmation footage. What a pleasant surprise."
"Albinism in African elephants are extremely rare with only 1 out of 10 000 births resulting in a lighter coloured elephant."
"I would estimate the young bull to be one year old, and although complex group dynamics often result in individuals with the recessive gene to be rejected, this little guy was tolerated by all members of the group and seemed to have perfectly fit in."
