Grizzly Eats GoPro

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get eaten by a Grizzly Bear? This should give you an idea.

From Alaska Bears & Wolves

Here is an amazing clip that I filmed with a GoPro camera that I strapped to a rock with a rubber band! The first bear to appear is an older mother, and the second is her 3-year-old cub. The bear only gently mouthed the camera, and didn’t even put a dent in it! Obviously the card was fine, and I actually used the camera many more times. I filmed this clip while I guiding a Natural Habitat Trip, but the BBC used it in the show. Anyway, check it out!!!

When using a GoPro to capture unusually close footage of grizzly bears for the Great Bear Stakeout for BBC, I had a young bear actually chew on the camera. Amazingly there was no damage to the camera! Some of this clip appears in the film Great Bear Stakeoout on BBC and Discovery Channel. Video copyright Brad Josephs.

Parakeet Sucked Up By Vacuum Cleaner

Parakeet Sucked Up By Vacuum Cleaner…. Breaking News!

Parakeet Sucked Up By Vacuum Cleaner

With all the news they could have covered, they chose this?

American journalism is dead.

The place was perfect.

“Birdie,” the 8-year-old pet parakeet, was spending the afternoon searching for a dark, quiet space to lay her egg when she found a mysterious, empty tube lying benignly on the floor.

She crawled inside to settle in for the delivery without a clue of what lay ahead.

Her owner, Milton resident Marie Margarone, unsuspectingly flipped on the power switch to the vacuum, sucking Birdie up the tube and sending her into a violent whirlwind of hair and carpet detritus, said Rob Halpin, a spokesman for MSPCA-Angell’s Animal Medical Center.

Birdie was only trapped in the “shop-vac” for several seconds before Margarone noticed — but it was enough time for the bird to lose much of her blood and suffer a severely broken wing, Halpin said.

A barely conscious Birdie was rushed to the medical center after the Feb. 23 incident, where she received pain medicine and diagnostic tests to determine the scope of her injuries.

Veterinarians discovered she had a broken left wing, and would need about 25 percent of it amputated to survive, Halpin said.

Brendan Noonan and Elisabeth Simone-Freilicher, specialists in avian and exotic animal surgery, performed the delicate, hour-long procedure on Birdie’s 5-inch body Wednesday, and held her in the hospital for another day to recover, Halpin said.

“I’m hugely impressed with this small bird’s strength and resolve,” Simone-Freilicher said in a statement.

Doctors were certain Birdie went into the tube to lay an egg when she laid another one in her cage prior to surgery. Both were unfertilized eggs, which are typically thrown out by pet owners.

Birdie has since returned home to recuperate. Though her flying days “are in the rearview mirror,” Halpin said, she will be easily consoled by Margarone’s other pet birds.

“She’s a member of my family just as my other pets are, and I wanted to do everything I could to help her,” Margarone said in a statement. “Obviously we’ll ensure she stays well clear of the vacuum from here on out.”

Snake Eats Crocodile

Snake Eats Crocodile

Snake Eats Crocodile

After a 5-hour-long battle, a 10-foot snake swallowed a crocodile whole in front of a shocked crowd of onlookers at Lake Moondarra in Queensland, Australia.

Australia… where every single thing can kill you. Even the flowers.


Snake Eats Crocodile

A snake has eaten a crocodile in an epic duel captured by onlookers at a Queensland lake.

The whopper python took on the croc at Lake Moondarra, near Mount Isa, on Sunday. A Mount Isa woman, Tiffany Corlis, was having breakfast nearby when canoeists racing on the lake alerted her about the endurance battle playing out nearby.

She grabbed her camera and took a series of shots that documented the enormous snake’s assault on the much smaller croc, which was about a metre long.

By the time Corlis started watching, the python had already coiled its body around the crocodile and was beginning to strangle it.

“[The crocodile] was fighting at the start, so it was trying to keep its head out of water and survive,” she told ABC North West Queensland Radio on Monday. But as the morning sort of progressed, you could tell that both of them were getting a little weaker.

“Finally, the croc sort of gave in and the snake had uncoiled for a little while and had a brief break and then actually started to consume the crocodile.”

Corlis said it was amazing to witness. “It was just unbelievable,” she said. “We were sort of thinking that the snake had bitten off a little more than it could chew.

“But it did. It actually ate the crocodile.”
