vid that is trending on youtube

Sperm whales and Pilot whales will sporadically get agitated, so I wouldn’t go out of my way to mess with one.

I always like how whales just have that “meh” expression in their eyes no matter what. Makes them very hard to read and mysterious…

LOL… I dont know whats funnier, the dog chasing the deers or the owner calling his dog Benton.

I find the thought of trying to read a whale hilarious. Are you trying to play poker with it or something?

One of the top comments for this video had me cracking up pretty hard

“There is no sound because dormice snore at 180db and a frequency of 20kHz. Your ears would blow off.”

Macaque knows what it likes…(its funnier if you read it outloud)

I was wondering why there was a picture of TRON barf on the page.

[SIZE=4]Feisty jackal takes on huge lion, after the Lion accidentally sits on it… LOL[/SIZE]

1. Sharing a drink: The jackal strolls by the lion as it bends down to sip water from a watering hole at the the Ongava Game Reserve in Namibia

2. The enormous lion leans back and accidentally sits on the tiny jackal which yelps with surprise, throws its ears back and wriggles free from the tight squeeze

**3.**You’re not getting away with that! The plucky jackal rears up onto its hind legs and bares its sharp teeth at the surprised lion, starting a David and Goliath showdown

4. The fight is on: The brave jackal refuses to be intimidated by the size of the lion and moves in close enough to grab the predator’s beard in its teeth

Lucky for the Jackal that the Lion wasnt really concerned about fighting it. Just look at the size of the lions arm in comparison to the Jackal… lol

Most animals avoid conflict, esp. predators since they can’t afford to be seriously injured.

you think that Jackal can seriously injure that Lion?

I’ve always wondered what species Hyenas belong to, they look like a weird hybrid between cats and dogs.

Hyenas are nocturnal animals and the young are born and raised in underground burrows - so daytime pictures of young cubs are very unusual

the jackal has the biggest balls, so yes

aren’t hyenas some cat/giraffe hybrid? they got dem weird ass long front legs

Hyenas are closely related to felines, surprisingly. Canines and felines both originate from a common ancestor though, so they’re distant relatives.

It’s ironic that I recently just did a drawing of a hyena too:

really fast turtle…
