If you aren’t having a great week, then you should check out this video of little Harry a lovely little koala joey orphan. This little fella was rescued by the Symbio Wildlife Park in New South Wales where he is now a full-time resident. You will see the obvious affection he has for his keep Tami Wilson and always rushes to meet her as soon as he sees her. The moment he lays eyes on Tami, he climbs down from the trees so that he can get a cuddle and a belly rub. This cute critter was orphaned at the age of four months after losing his mother to leukaemia. In order for Harry to survive he was successfully cross surrogated into the pouch of another koala.
If you need to be reminded that Mother Nature can be terrifying, you should watch this video of what is basically a one-sided battle between two alligators. Alex Figueroa was taking a morning walk near his home in Lakeland Florida. However what he thought would be a peaceful walk ended with him coming across and then filming a huge alligator eating a smaller one. Mr. Figueroa reckons the bigger gator was anywhere between 3.3 metres to 3.6 metres (11 to 12 feet) long.
A group of tourists on holiday in Mexico received an unexpected surprise when they chanced upon a dolphin pod whilst on a boat trip. The crowd lapped up the performance of the dolphins who were showing off the way dolphins do by splashing around and playing close to the boat. In fact, the dolphins got so close to the boat that they had to turn off the engines so the tourists got to enjoy the show.
A man from Florida who came across some raccoons that looked extremely cuddly learned an important lesson when one of the critters bit him on the finger. Braddock Baskett posted the video of his experience on YouTube which shows him encountering a large group of racoons. The intrepid explorer decides to hold out a piece of food for one of the raccoons which initially seems quite friendly. However sure as tickety boo, the critter teaches Baskett and extremely valuable lesson about feeding wildlife when he bites down on his finger instead. The video shows Baskett leaving the scene with a bloody finger, though he admits he doctored that part of the video using simulated blood. The moral of the story, NEVER feed wild animals because you could get bit and end up contracting rabies.
It can be confusing for kids when they visit the zoo. This is because the animals they see on wildlife documentaries violently fighting for food are suddenly transformed into docile animals that submissively sit behind glass walls. On some occasions the animals just sit there and on other occasions they display signs of zoochosis where they rock back and forth or hit themselves. Every once in a while, animals in captivity will really lash out as a result of the frustration that comes from being imprisoned.

Some people don’t seem to have an awful lot of common sense. There is no better example than the woman in this video who goes to extreme lengths to retrieve her hat. Visitors at the tiger exhibit of Toronto Zoo looked on in horror as the woman in question leaped over the fence of the tiger pen in order to reclaim her hat. The YouTube video shows the woman jumping the fence as the tiger paces back and forth and tries to jump towards her. Fortunately for her, the tiger was behind a second protective fence, nevertheless, it was a really silly thing to do.
A woman taking an early morning nature walk at a sanctuary in Florida suddenly found herself face to face with a fast approaching Florida panther on a boardwalk. Tina Dorschel managed to keep the video rolling when she saw the animal approaching in the distance. Somehow she had to presence of mind to keep the camera focused on the endangered Florida panther as it passed by her. Ms. Dorschel posted the video on social media and rather unsurprisingly the video went viral.
At the end of March Sylvester the lion escaped for a second time from South Africa’s Karoo National Park. The escape resulted in authorities issuing a death sentence on the lion following his recapture. Rather unsurprisingly this did not go down well with the lion loving public. The last time Sylvester escaped he ended up killing 28 sheep, a kudu antelope and a cow before he was captured three weeks later. This time the damage is less extensive with only one cow being killed. However because of his antics South African National Parks (SANParks) thought it was best to put Sylvester down once he was recaptured.
