Salemas are a type of porgy fish that school in massive numbers in the Galapagos Islands. Sea lions hunt these fish by herding them into tight balls and then blasting through them in the hope of capturing one or two disoriented or confused individuals. These sea lions have found a shallow bay where the salemas have taken shelter. They move swiftly from one side of the bay to the other as they take turns trying to catch a meal. The school of salemas forms a dark cloud, as seen by a drone flying overhead. As the sea lions make their way through the mass, the salemas dart sideways for cover, creating a clear area that surrounds the sea lions. The effect is quite a sight from the sky. Sea lions are surprisingly agile in the water. Clumsy on land, they are designed for swimming rapidly and moving in all directions under water. They are capable of catching fish, eels, octopus, and other ocean creatures. This drone was being flown as part of a research flight to map areas of the shore line. Recording the sea lions hunting was an unintentional, but interesting occurrence.

Cameron is a scuba diver who has spent a lot of time on the reefs of Mexico, Belize, Cayman Islands, Cuba, and the Galapagos. He has seen sharks, dolphins, eels, fish of all kinds, and even whale sharks. But one of his favourite animals is sea turtles. This dive was quite a thrill for Cameron when a very relaxed se turtle swam over the coral and circled around, looking for a a place to have a snooze. Sea turtles are graceful and beautiful animals. They glide over the water with majestically. Scuba divers always take great delight in seeing one, but having an encounter like this is unforgettable.

This magnificent beast has emerged from the brush on one side of Santa Cruz' main roads, making his way across to the vegetation on the other side. But he is in no hurry as he moves and he is not concerned about the traffic that is now common on his island. There was no traffic here when he began his life, long before this road was anything more than a trail. The giant Galapagos tortoise is one of the most iconic animals in the world. Known as one of the longest-living vertebrates on the planet, these animals are magnificent and awe-inspiring. If only they could tell us their stories. This giant beast is well over 150kg (330lbs) and has probably been roaming the island of Santa Cruz for more than 100 years. He eats, sleeps, and leaves enormous droppings all day long. Tortoises will eat almost any kind of vegetation and they do so in great quantities. They store large amounts of water and food, giving them the ability to go without either for up to a year. The giant Galapagos tortoises are believed to be descended from African tortoises, having arrived here on floating rafts of vegetation. Few animals would survive a trip across the ocean like this, but their ability to go without fresh water or food for very prolonged periods makes this possible. Giant tortoises have no means of defence from predators except to pull their heads into their shells. Their solid shells and armoured legs make it difficult for even a determined creature to harm them and they can simply sleep and outwait any predator. The longevity of this species is also what makes it possible for enough of the eggs to reach maturity. The young are easily predated by birds, dogs, rats, and other creatures and it is only the fact that a mature female lays many eggs over her lifetime that makes it possible for their populations to be maintained. The locals carefully make their way around the animals, respecting the need for distance. If a tortoise wanders onto the roadway, traffic will stop until the tortoise is safely across. Galapaganians live in harmony with nature and with the animals that have been here on the islands long before humans.

Humpback whales are one of the most majestic and fascinating creatures on the planet. They possess an intelligence and level of understanding that is not far behind that of humans. In fact, as recently as 100,000 years ago, whales and dolphins were the most intelligent creatures alive, even surpassing our own ancestors. The humpbacks' communication is so sophisticated that we cannot decipher it ourselves. However, we do recognize that their extremely complex songs are loops of repeating sounds that may last as long as 20 minutes and can echo through the water for hundreds of miles. Scientists have included recordings of their songs on the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft that are currently traveling through space beyond our own solar system. The humpback whales are a mix of beauty and mystery like no other creatures. Whales are the biggest animals to inhabit our planet, ever. Even the long extinct dinosaurs were not as large as our whales. Their evolution into the most massive creatures to ever live defies much of what we know about science and bio mechanics. The more we learn about them, the more we realize how much we do not yet understand. And of all the whales, the humpbacks are the ones that we recognize most readily and the ones we identify with the most. Their wonderful, leaping breaches are a true spectacle, and their haunting and endearing songs captivate us completely. To have the privilege of swimming beside one and looking it in the eye is unforgettable. This humpback whale has ascended from the ocean floor to breath and to greet a bunch of thrilled swimmers. It looks them curiously in the eyes as it rolls invites them to play. This group of whale enthusiasts has slipped into the water to observe the whale from a respectful distance but the curious animal decided to come closer for a good look at them. The great beast sang to them with his powerful voice. To their extreme delight, he came within arm's length and stared straight at them with a lingering look as he slowly rolled on his side for a leisurely pass. The result was what seemed to be a request for a belly rub, much as you would expect from a large dog. As tempting as it might be to touch this whale, watchful guides are always present in the water to remind people that there are rules that must be respected. We are guests in their domain and physical contact must be avoided. For those who met this playful and curious whale, it was a moment that they will remember forever.

This swimmer accidentally discovered a colony of gelatinous masses attached to a submerged tree in the lake at his cottage. He was following a large bass when he came upon what he thought was a collection of algae growths. These mysterious looking blobs had the appearance of a coral and the texture of a slimy and rubbery ball. Algae is a plant and it is immobile, as these blobs were. They looked like some sort of alien life form. What the swimmer had actually found was an animal, or more correctly, a collection of them. These are freshwater bryozoan. Freshwater bryozoans are microscopic aquatic invertebrates that live in colonies. They can form into jelly-like clumps that often attach to docks or submerged sticks. Bryozoan colonies can reach 30 centimeters (one foot) in diameter. The base of each tiny bryozoan is attached to an underwater surface. Its body has an outer sleeve-like structure and a mass of organs called polypide that moves inside of it. This swimmer found a slice in the side of one of the masses and he pulled the flap aside, revealing a mass of algae and other structures. These animals use tentacles to filter diatoms and other microscopic organisms from the water. It is believed that bryazoan evolved from a marine worm. They can multiply themselves by budding, and they also grow eggs and sperm to reproduce. Larval forms will go through complete metamorphosis. Freshwater bryozoans form hard, round statoblasts inside their bodies that act like seeds. These creatures are a sign of a clean lake. It is a positive sign of a healthy ecosystem. The only negative aspect is that they can clog drainage pipes or water filters. This collection of bryozoans was found in a lake in Ontario, Canada.

A drone glides effortlessly over the rolling fields of Ontario farm country. Below, golden waves of wheat ripple in the breeze, stretching to the horizon. Red barns and white silos dot the landscape like storybook miniatures. In the distance, a line of sleek wind turbines turns slowly against a brilliant blue sky, their blades slicing through the air with quiet grace. The sun casts long, warm shadows, bathing the countryside in a golden glow as the drone soars onward, capturing the harmony between rural tradition and renewable energy. The scene is like something from a movie as this footage carries you on the breeze, weaving between the turbines. The windmills are giants that tower over the trees and the fields like behemoths. Their size and power make them a sight to behold as they majestically stand in the setting sun. Whether we embrace the new technology or face it with trepidation, the turbines are a thing of beauty.

The aurora borealis is one of the most spectacular and breath taking sights in the world. People travel all over the globe to find the best place and the best chances to see this mysterious wonder. Some will be lucky if they enjoy only a brief sighting. But for some, like Joe Buffalo Child, the aurora borealis is like an old friend that appears in the night sky where they live, almost every night. Joe provides a guided tour that places guests under the lights on almost every clear night. For Joe, the lights are part of his culture, his upbringing, and his connection with nature and our planet. His ancestors taught that the aurora has spiritual significance and that they are a gift to the people, meant to bring reassurance and peace. This footage was taken by two Canadian tourists who traveled to Yellowknife because they dreamed of seeing the lights dancing in their full colour. What they didn't expect was the added enjoyment that came with Joe's storytelling and cultural perspective on the aurora and it's meaning in his Dene culture. This is a visual display of nature's most revered phenomenon. Joe has a charisma and a talent for storytelling that adds to the experience. His skill at delivering aurora sightings is impressive in every sense. Auroras are the result of disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere caused by the solar wind. Solar winds change speed as a result of coronal holes and coronal mass ejections, disturbances on the sun's crust. Charged particles in the magnetospheric plasma precipitate into the upper atmosphere of earth. The result is the emission of light of varying colour. However we view what causes them or what they mean, they are beautiful beyond description. The experience in Yellowknife during the day was also breathtaking. Driving on Great Slave Lake, dogsledding, flocks of ptarmigan, ravens, a snow castle, and a vast and beautiful landscape will make you fall in love with the north.

Gus, the largemouth bass has become quite an attraction at this family cottage in Ontario, Canada. He was living under the family's swim raft and showing serious curiosity when they swam around the raft. He often swam around their feet as they stirred up the sediment, probably looking for anything edible that was disturbed. As he became more used to the family, he would swim closer and closer to look at their faces under the water. The family was delighted with this friendly fish and they fed him a few worms by hand. He eagerly accepted the treats and almost instantly, he began begging for more. He started nibbling at their fingers and swimming up to their goggles to look them in the eye with his best fishy face. Soon, Gus was swimming between family members and under their arms, through their legs, and all around their faces, with the trust of a family dog. He even seemed to enjoy a belly rub now and then. When Serena, the daughter in the family swam around the small island, Gus followed her, leading at times, swimming just in front of her face as she completed the fifteen minute loop around the entire shore. This is highly unusual because the lake is full of pike and very large bass that would be able to make a meal of a 2-3 pound bass like Gus. Dave made the mistake of swimming out to the raft with no shirt on and Gus was more than curious about what he saw. Without warning, Gus was suddenly latched onto Dave with great enthusiasm. Dave screamed in shock and swam away from the raft while his wife laughed uproariously from the beach.

Swimming through an open cenote in Mexico is a beautiful experience. The crystal clear water provides an exceptional view of fish, rock formations, mangrove roots, and other plants. At the head of this inlet, water runs slowly and a gigantic algae bloom has grown. The algae has infested every surface, stretching out and flapping in the mild current in an eerie way. It gives the impression of a monstrous, slimy hand that reaches out to grasp a swimmer and pull them into the centre. But despite it's obvious creepiness, the slimy appendages are also beautiful and graceful in their movements. These algae blooms grow longer until pieces break off and drift downstream with the current. Beauty is a matter of perspective in many cases.

Yellowknife, Canada, is one of the best places in the world to witness the breathtaking beauty of the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. Located in the Northwest Territories, Yellowknife offers a prime view due to its proximity to the auroral oval, the region where the Northern Lights are most frequently visible. During the winter months, from late August to mid-April, Yellowknife’s clear skies and long nights create the perfect conditions for observing this incredible natural phenomenon. The city is often enveloped in vibrant green, pink, purple, and red lights, which swirl and dance across the sky, creating an otherworldly experience. What makes the Aurora Borealis in Yellowknife truly special is the unique setting of the city itself. Surrounded by vast frozen lakes and wild landscapes, the experience of watching the Northern Lights is amplified by the serene, untouched beauty of nature. Visitors can view the lights from several vantage points around Yellowknife, with tour guides like Joe Buffalo Child with North Star Adventures. The experience is a mix of visual splendour, cultural storytelling, and scientific discovery. If you're lucky enough to be there during a particularly strong solar event, you may witness an even more intense and colorful display. The combination of nature’s raw beauty, the peaceful setting, and the sheer majesty of the aurora makes it a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle for anyone who is fortunate enough to witness it.

Taking Pictures of Strangers, Then Appearing With Their Printed Photo Twin Prank

Dolphins are among the most intelligent animals on earth. They are often inquisitive when they see clumsy scuba divers in their domain. These divers were returning to the surface near Darwin Island when they were greeted by more than 50 dolphins that swam around them, passing closely and staring into their faces. The experience lasted several minutes. The dolphins clicked and squealed as if excited to see these guests. Capable of swimming at nearly 30km/h (20mph) and leaping 9m (30 feet), they are truly the acrobats of the ocean. They are highly social and they communicate with complex sounds consisting of clicks, whistles, and other vocalizations.

A luminous jellyfish with long trailing tentacles is a beautiful sight, as long as a scuba diver sees it in time to avoid contact. These scuba divers were finishing a dive in Akumal, Mexico and making their way to the surface when they came across this venomous creature swimming through the water. Jellyfish have tentacles armed with thousands of nematocysts, or stinging cells. When these cells come into contact with another animal, they fire tiny barbs that inject venom into the animal. This is used as a defense against predators and it is also a means of immobilizing prey that is then consumed. Jellyfish move through the water by contracting their bell to push water out and propel themselves forward. They are slow, but graceful and beautiful in their rhythmic movement and flowery structure.

Nature is undeniably beautiful. We see the beauty in the mountain views, the galloping horses, and the flight of a graceful and solitary bird against a blue sky. But nature is equally harsh and savage. The balance between predator and prey illustrates this dichotomy. These lions have taken down a wildebeest on a game preserve in Kenya, Africa. While it is a dark moment for the wildebeest, it is the continuance of life for the pride of lions that would not survive without the kill. To watch the lions in pursuit of their prey is an unforgettable experience. Torn between cheering for the animal to escape, and wanting the lions to have a well-deserved meal, we are witnessing the simultaneous beauty and violence that occurs every day on the African plain. When the sun rises here each morning, the gazelles and wildebeest get ready to run for their survival. Failing to do so means the end of life. The lions are equally ready, and failing to outrun the prey will also mean the end of their life. Nature is cruel and unforgiving. It is also breathtakingly beautiful. We must understand that balance requires both.

TWO SET OF IDENTICAL TWINS DRESS UP AS AGENTS AND TRY TO WAKE UP STNAGERS STUCK IN THE MATRIX!

Darwin Island in the Galapagos is home to Galapagos Sharks, massive schools of hammerhead sharks, and whale sharks, the biggest shark in the ocean. Divers come here from all around the world to swim with these incredible creatures. The animals congregate here due to the convergence of four strong ocean currents that create an upwelling, bringing nutrients to the surface. The smaller fish come to feed and the larger predators follow. Whale sharks seek out predators such as silky sharks and trevallies to rid them of remoras, the fish that stick onto their fins and their gills. Scuba divers also congregate here to swim among the largest schools of hammerheads found anywhere. If they are lucky, divers will also come face to face with whale sharks, the largest fish in the ocean. These massive, but gentle creatures are magnificent to see close up. There are few scuba diving locations in the world that compare with Darwin Island. It is remote, unpredictable, and magical.

This scuba diver couldn't believe his luck when a gigantic whale shark cruised right past him. The great beast would have run him over if he hadn't swam out of the way. Whale sharks are massive creatures that can grow to a whopping 18m (57 feet), topping the scales at an estimated 44,000kg (100,000lbs). To see them in real life creates a sense of awe and wonder. They are giants, but they are truly gentle beasts, virtually incapable of harming a human. Scientists believe that the whale sharks come to the waters near Darwin Island in the Galapagos to give birth. Almost all are pregnant females. But exactly where they do this is a mystery. Very few baby whale sharks have ever been seen. Three ocean currents collide in these waters, bringing an upwelling of nutrients from the deep ocean. This brings the larger fish and the apex predators like sharks. Although the water here is full of plankton and krill, the whale sharks are not here to feed. They are rarely seen with their mouths open as they swim around the island. This whale shark casually cruised through this group of awe-stricken scuba divers, making them look small and insignificant. These giant sharks are truly magnificent.

Marko will cut in line and take a stranger's spot while Niko waits in line. When the stranger confronts him, Marko will leave the line and walk away. Then, Niko (who is ahead of the stranger) will apologize and offer his spot to them.

My Frenchie snores like a grizzly bear when she sleeps.

This mating pair of blue-footed boobies live on South Seymour Island in the Galapagos. They are among the most iconic animals in the world, recognized as being found only here. They nest on land but they live most of their lives on the cliffs and rocks at the water's edge, feeding on schools of fish as they are chased to the surface by predators. Flocks of boobies ascend high over the water and then dive in unison to catch their prey below. A large, synchronized dive is a spectacle to see! Boobies get their name, not from the closely related English word, but from the Spanish word "bobo" due to their clownlike behaviour and appearance. They are generally seen as slow witted birds and clumsy in their walk. But blue-footed boobies are highly skilled flyers and graceful swimmers. Boobies engage in courtship dances where the males display their brightly coloured feet and sometimes present the female with sticks for her nest. The more intensely coloured their feet are, the more successful they will be in a mating attempt.

Spotted eagle rays are beautiful stingrays with very distinctive heads and ornate markings. For any scuba diver or snorkeler, hey are a treat to see in the ocean. Usually shy and reclusive, watching one eating is a rare sight. This eagle ray seemed to be unconcerned as the scuba diver approached respectfully and watched it in action. Eagle rays use their electro sensory organs in their snout to detect crustaceans and mollusks buried beneath the sand. They inhale the animals and the sand and then expel the sand out through their gills. They are capable of crushing thick shells in their mouth in order to get at the creature within. Eagle rays are highly intelligent, and occasionally curious about humans who approach slowly.

He really looks amazing! Searching for good scotch whiskey near us!

Heart-melting moments with Baby Jim by the window as he shows off his playful side and adorable stick antics. He’s such a delight, always so full of life, and absolutely charming—you can’t help but want to scoop him up for a cuddle! Though, mum Jazz might have other thoughts if anyone tried touching her little one. Jim is having fun with his stick, almost as if he’s “giving me stick” while practising his aim. His tiny fingers gripping the window frame are a heart-warming sight. Meanwhile, mum Jazz prepares to head outside, and if you look closely, you might catch a glimpse of Sprout in the background. Not to be left behind, Jim follows his mother out with quick determination.

The world is out there to experience. It's up to us how we see it. A slight change in perspective can take something beautiful and make it breath taking. This drone footage takes you to beaches in the Galapagos Islands, the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, the rice fields of Bali, Indonesia, the east coast of Newfoundland, and other magical sites. Get out there. Experience the world around you. And how you choose to experience it is completely up to you. A drone perspective shows the world in a whole new light.

No one wants to weigh themselves, this Yorkie is no exception!

The capybara is the world's largest rodent, living in various areas throughout South America. They grow to an incredible 134 cm (4.40 ft) in length, stand up to 62 cm (24 in) tall at the withers, and typically weigh 35 to 66 kg (77 to 146 lb). The largest ever recorded weighed 91kg (201lb). They are hunted for their meat, their hide, and for the grease derived from their fat. The females are typically larger than the males. Capybara are semiaquatic animals. They live in forested areas near bodies of water, wading in lakes, rivers, swamps, ponds, and marshes. They graze on aquatic vegetation and grasses. Capybara can hold their breath for up to five minutes at a time. They are herbivores, eating a variety of vegetation, switching their preferred diet from one season to another as the nutritional value of its food changes. Highly social animals, capybaras exist in herds of 10-20 but they gather in larger groups during the dry season when water is more scarce. The herd consists of a few adult males, a few adult females and offspring. Mating takes place in the water. If a female is not consenting to intercourse, she simply submerges, making it impossible to mate. Capybaras are farmed in some areas and considered pests and competition for grazing animals. Their populations remain stable throughout Central America.

One of the most famous dive sites in the world is Darwin's Arch, now collapsed due to erosion, and occasionally called Darwin's Pillars. The site is one of the best places in the world to encounter whale sharks, hammerheads, and Galapagos sharks. Dolphins are also plentiful here, with a large pod circling the island constantly. This very lucky scuba diver was preparing to enter the water for a dive when he spotted the spout of a whale right beside his dive boat. He was shocked to see a humpback in the water, calmly checking out the dive site itself. The dolphins seemed to be escorting this gentle giant as it circled the island on its way to wherever it was going. Humpbacks are enormous creatures with only a few whale species being larger. It's a very rare experience to see a humpback whale in the Galapagos Islands. These divers will never forget such a close encounter with this magnificent animal.

This is too cute and hilarious!

Why does it spell g-

The way she lies next to her, making sure she is taken care of, shows just how much love animals have! It's truly incredible!

The wind through her hair is majestic! Adorable!

Looks like that didn’t go as they thought, but I bet they had a good laugh when they watched the video again!

This baby turtle was sleeping in some coral before being awakened, and afterwards, it danced away from excited scuba divers! It's so cute!

This large curious barracuda swims between scuba divers after checking them out.

How awesome is this dad? Super awesome if you ask us!

This was such an amazing moment, and she received such awesome support from her friends!

The Galapagos Islands are unique and fascinating for many reasons. Situated on the equator, west of Ecuador, they are home to some unbelievable animals. Four strong ocean currents converge here, creating an upwelling of cold water and nutrients that bring fish and other animals to the area. These smaller creatures attract larger predators. Hammerhead sharks, silky sharks, and Galapagos sharks congregate here in great numbers. Trevallies, large fish that prey on smaller fish are also common here. One of the most magnificent creatures in the ocean also come to these waters. Whale sharks are the biggest fish that live. Only a few species of whale are larger. The whale sharks are plagued by remoras, fish that cling to them with suction cups on their heads, creating extra drag that is problematic for whale sharks that swim great distances. The remoras also swim inside the gill slits and affect the whale sharks' ability to effectively filter plankton and krill. The whale sharks come to the Galapagos Islands for the cleaning stations that provide relief from these nuisance animals. The silky sharks are able to pick of the remoras as the whale sharks swim around the islands. Trevallies are large enough to do the same, but also small enough to go inside the gill slits and the mouth of the whale sharks to eat the remoras. This service provides food for the other predators and an invaluable benefit to the whale sharks. Occasionally, remoras on a single whale shark can number in the dozens. They hitch rides on the shark to avoid the effort of swimming and they break free to swim out and eat the feces from the whale sharks and any fish scraps in the water as the other fish feed nearby. Although a few remoras can benefit the whale sharks because they eat some parasites, a large number of them is detrimental to the whale sharks. These scuba divers have had the incredible good fortune to see a whale shark swimming through their group. For a minute or more, they swam with this great, gentle beast, enjoying the emotions that come with being in the presence of one of the world's biggest animals. This gentle beast has been seen circling Darwin Island several times since 2018.

Pacific green turtles are enormous sea turtles. They get their name from the green fat that accumulates beneath the carapace due to it's diet of green sea grass. Green turtles migrate long distances between feeding grounds and the beaches where they congregate in massive groups to lay their eggs. The females climb out onto the beaches at night to deposit their eggs. Green turtles live up to 90 years, reaching 190kg (416lbs). The largest known green turtle weighed 395kg (871lbs) Despite laws to protect them, their numbers are decreasing due to overdevelopment of nesting areas, pollution, overharvesting, and dangers caused by fishing nets. Only humans, orcas, and large sharks actively prey on mature green turtles. This scuba diver in the Galapagos found himself surrounded by hundreds of the turtles that were congregating for breeding in the shallows near this shoreline. Unconcerned with his presence, some were curious enough to come up for a close look. To see so many sea turtles in one area is a once in a lifetime experience.

This video just melts our hearts! Cutness overload!

Two reef sharks swim past scuba divers off San Salvador in the Bahamas. San Salvador is the island that many believe was the first place that Columbus landed in the New World. As you watch this video remember, sharks are ambush predators and it is the one you do not see that will get you.

This North American box turtle has claimed a back yard in Tennessee as his own. It is frequently seen roaming through the grass behind a house in a quiet neighbourhood. They are beautiful creatures that prefer to stay in small areas, not roaming far from home. They commonly live more than 40 years, with unverified claims being made that some have reached 100 years of age. Box turtles have a domed shell and a hinge on their lower carapace, allowing them to close their shell tightly to avoid being attacked by predators. They feed on snails, insects, berries, fungi, slugs, worms, flowers, fish, frogs, salamanders, various rodents, snakes, birds, eggs, and other vegetation. They have even been known to feed on carrion such as roadkill. In their younger years, these turtles are largely carnivorous. As they grow in age, they feed more on plants. Because these turtles are highly attractive, they are threatened by over harvesting for pet trade. Despite their appeal, these turtles are difficult to care for and do not make good pets.

EXCUSE ME, ZIR-

Kids are just the funniest!

She wanted to make things clear! So funny and sweet!

As the sun lowers on an autumn night, a drone soars through a layer of soft, swirling mist. Its camera captures the fading light as the sun dips below the horizon, casting brilliant hues of orange, pink, and purple across the sky. Wisps of fog drift through the golden light, creating an ethereal glow. The drone glides steadily, framing the misty landscape with rolling hills barely visible through the haze. The farm landscape stretches out with golden fields, lush green pastures. The sun casts long shadows and paints the sky with rich colors. It's such a peaceful, cinematic scene, and capturing it with a drone adds a mesmerizing, sweeping perspective.

A hiker walking through a quiet section of forest heard a large tree falling over, followed by a commotion in the trees ahead of him. Knowing it must be a large animal, he cautiously stepped ahead and recorded what turned out to be a full-sized beaver that had just cut down a poplar tree. The beaver quickly chewed off the top branch and began dragging it through the clearing. The hiker followed behind as the beaver waddled all the way down a path and right to a pond. Swimming across the water, the beaver dragged the branch over to the lodge. As the hiker discovered, the beaver had a family at the pond. Two adult and three young beavers were also swimming around, busily working on gathering food and adding to their lodge.

That was so dramatic yet so hilarious!

Okay, Jeffrey Dahmer...

This is very cute and funny! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepursuitofluke/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lukesvlogs97

Why Dogs Roll After a Bath: After a bath, dogs like Russell and Miles might roll around for several reasons: • Relief from the bath experience: Bathing can be stressful for some dogs, and rolling or wiggling afterward is their way of releasing pent-up energy or excitement. • Scent masking: Dogs have a strong sense of smell and may roll to replace the unfamiliar clean scent from the bath with their more natural, familiar scents. • Joy and playfulness: Being freshly clean, towel-dried, and free from the bath can simply make them feel happy, leading to playful rolling and wiggling.

When you love dad but love toys and candy more! This is super adorable!

This is her first and probably last attempt to be creative in her cooking videos!

The constant reminders you have to put out when married to a man with a not-so-great memory! So funny!

When people think of penguins, they picture them in Antarctica or even at Cape Horn, the southern tip of Africa. But these curious penguins are among a unique population that lives in the northern hemisphere in the Galapagos Islands. They are the only species of penguin that does live north of the equator. The Galapagos Islands exist where four strong ocean currents converge. The Humboldt current brings cold water with low salinity to the islands. These waters and lower temperatures make it possible for penguins to thrive here. Salemas and sardines also thrive here, providing the penguins with an abundance of food. These swimmers were delighted to have the birds swim around them and up to them as they inspected the clumsy humans. Penguins are incredibly agile in the water, making it easy for them to dart all around the swimmers with ease.

They truly understood the assignment! Super funny and adorable!

So, you have two toddlers and a five-year-old who wants to use MiO Water to paint the house, turning it into a colorful mess!

Scuba divers enter the ocean with the hopes of seeing sharks and other animals in their own environment. Most divers understand that sharks are rarely a threat to humans who act respectfully. But when large sharks swim directly at a diver to inspect them with curiosity, it is still a very intimidating experience that can send chills down the spine of even the most experienced diver. These hammerheads and Galapagos sharks gather in the waters around Darwin Island. They come here for the abundant fish that are brought by the strong currents that converge here. Hammerheads congregate in huge schools, swimming lazily in the current by day and hunting actively by night. Scuba divers come here to see these formidable predators in great numbers. Sitting on the rocks, divers are treated to a live show that would rival even the most vivid Imax theatre production.

What would your reaction be in a scenario like this? It's pretty scary!

They are super adorable, we love how playful they are!

He said, NO dad and he meant it! This is too funny!

Wait till the end! Cool!

Truly mesmerising!

I saw a girl I thought was cute so I serenaded her with Charlie Puth.

I walked around LGBTQ Pride in New York and rejected girls based on their zodiac signs 😂😂

The daughter is probably just lying there in shock, wondering what was supposed to happen. Too funny!

Galapagos Islands are a scuba diver's paradise. Darwin Island, in particular, is one of the world's most spectacular dive sites. Whale sharks and hammerheads congregate here, giving nature enthusiasts one of the best shows in the world. After finishing a dive, this scuba diver encountered a pod of dolphins cruising past. When they sighted him, they turned and came close to inspect him curiously. Swimming with dolphins in the wild is an unforgettable experience.

His friends are probably having the time of their lives watching this video over and over! Hilarious!

The Arenui liveaboard is the most beautiful scuba liveaboard in the world. Its home is Indonesia where it navigates the waters around some of the world's most breathtaking islands. This voyage took a group of Canadian scuba divers to Komodo to meet manta rays, sea turtles, fish of all colours, and sharks. The guests even ventured onto land to come face to face with Komodo dragons, the world's biggest and most ferocious lizards. Famous for their ability to take down animals much larger, they are a sight to behold. The waters in Indonesia are a dazzling blue. The landscape is spectacular. It is only fitting that this is where the Arenui spends its time. Known as a boutique liveaboard, the complete experience on this boat is perfect. From the sights to the service, the food to the accommodations, no detail is overlooked. The Arenui is a traditional Phinisi – a classic Indonesian wooden sailing vessel. Constructed of seven species of wood and finished expertly, the boat itself is magnificent. Reminiscent of an old-fashioned pirate ship, the wood masts and sails are majestic and beautiful. The Arenui was built in July 2007. The main hull was crafted from ironwood by over 50 local craftsmen in South Sulawesi. The boat structure was built in Java and Bali. Copper and brass accents add to the warmth and appeal of the bedrooms on this boat. As the Arenui makes its way from one dive site to another, other boats full of tourists stop to allow them to take pictures and videos. The boat is so beautiful that they simply cannot resist. With sails billowing, a drone circled this boat and took video from a higher perspective. It is hard to imagine how any boat anywhere could be so beautiful. The scuba diving is enough to bring guests back to Indonesia. The Arenui is the best way to experience the best that Indonesia has to offer.

Winnie is too adorable with its sassy attitude! Too adorable!

This woman had a guy stalking her in Central Park. Watch till the end. 🤣

Wow, that move was really cool!

When their type shifts, you become the type! Too funny!

Blue footed boobies are one of the most recognizable and iconic animals in the Galapagos Islands. They get their name due to the distinctive blue feet that are a result of their diet. Boobies fly low over the ocean in flocks, looking for schooling fish feeding near the surface. When they spy a school below, they all tuck in their wings and make a coordinated dive to capture a mouthful of fish. The synchronized dive makes it nearly impossible for baitfish to avoid all of the beaks at once. The Galapagos Islands are home to some of the most diverse and unique animals on the planet. These birds make their home on Santa Cruz Island near the neighbouring Island, Baltra. They perch on the cliffs and rocks along the shore, building their nests close to the water's edge. As soon as they are old enough to fly, they look for their food in the waves nearby. Boobies get their name from the original term, "Bobo" that was used to describe them. Bobo means "clown" and refers to their apparent lack of intelligence.

Papua New Guinea is a group of islands that form a country near Australia. It is a remote and beautiful land, full of mystery. One of these mysteries surrounds the wreck of a Japanese Zero that sank on December 26th, 1943. Tomiharu Honda left the air base in West New Britain on a mission over Kimbe Bay. Neither Honda or his fighter plane ever returned to the base. Sixty years after Honda's final mission, Papua New Guinea fisherman, William Nui, was freediving for sea cucumbers. He saw the shadow of the plane in the water deep beneath him. A superstitious man, Nui was frightened by the image and believed he had seen the outstretched arms of a ghostly figure. He summoned the courage to dive deeper and take a better look. Nui saw that the shape was a wrecked fighter plane. Nui told the story of what he had found and word made it to Max Benjamin, the owner of Walindi Dive Resort. Walindi is partnered with the Febrina liveaboard. Max dove on the wreck and made careful observations. He found the throttle in the off position and the flap controls set to reduce the airspeed of the plane. This suggested the plane had run out of fuel and that Honda must have intentionally coasted in for a water landing, a dangerous gamble, with water landings resulting in disaster more than 80 per cent of the time. Honda had skillfully guided his plane to a spot in Kimbe Bay close to shore. Managing to bring the plane to a stop undamaged, Honda was able to swim to shore as it sank. But it seems that Honda's troubles did not end when he reached the island. Max Benjamin recorded the serial number of the plane. He found no visible signs of damage from combat. Max checked archives and historical records, finding that Honda had been considered missing in battle. He had never found his way back to Japanese territory. Accounts of villagers suggest that Honda had made his way to Talasea, a nearby village and that he was helped back to his base. This is contradicted by wartime records. Local legend tells us that Honda might have hidden out in the jungle for the rest of his life, ashamed to return and admit that he had lost a plane as a result of being lost and running out of fuel. A darker tale involves Honda being eaten by a tribe of cannibals on one of the islands. Honda's true fate will never be known. His plane is slowly being covered by sponges and coral as time passes. It serves as a fascinating and mysterious site for scuba divers. The F.V. Febrina and it's Captain, Alan Raabe take their Kimbe Bay tours to this site.
