Albino crow.
As far as I can tell crows are the smartest birds on earth, they can use tools.

Smarter than most humans at this rate, tied or above dolphins. If we taught them how to speak human languages and how to use weapons we would be totally fucked.
I was I could be an ornithologist and dedicate the rest of my professional life studying these awe-inspiring creatures.
Hell, I’d satisfied into being turned into one.
I should probably make a tumblr or twitter or some other silly social media site to promote the badassery of crows.
crows are now officially one of my favourite animals.

I wonder if they evolved such intelligence from interracting with humans… then i think about pigeons, who arent exactly the sharpest tool in the box.
Good points, maybe their versatile diet from being omnivorous is a slight factor as well. Nothing monumental, because vultures and turkey buzzards are omnivorous (I think) but aren’t nearly as smart as crows. I don’t know.
I understand why some people just hate birds, this is some funny shit

lol, why did it take hime so long to start using low kicks. Reminds of that guy in the barbershop who swung like 8 punches at that rottweiler with not a single punch connecting.
He damn near Shen Woo booted that goose in the face at the end.
Unrelated, but Shen.
He’s lucky it was just one. The geese ran the university I went to and you would get lynched by flocks of 5-7 at any given time. And this wasn’t at any particular spot on campus. They had one giant HQ near a small pond but they also had mini-bases all over the campus. You’d walk out of one building and be on the sidewalk heading to the next then all of a sudden 5 adult geese would pop out of some shrubs and start pecking your leg.
dailymail have just realised something we’ve known for while…

Swingers: Male dolphins form bisexual and homosexual relationships, according to researchers
They look friendly and gentle enough. But dolphins also have a dark side, a study has revealed. When they want to get their way, they resort to ‘rape’. An international team of researchers spent six years studying the behaviour of 120 bluenose dolphins in Shark Bay, Western Australia.
[LEFT]hey observed males asserting their authority by forcefully mounting other males. These were short-term shows of strength, used to dominate males from other groups.The study also showed a complex ‘open society’ where dolphins exhibited periods of homosexuality and bisexuality.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]So complicated are the bonds between dolphins that one of the researchers has described them as ‘mentally and physically exhausting’ – and declared he was glad he wasn’t a dolphin.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]When faced with the challenges of day-to-day life, males formed three different types of friendship. In ‘first-order alliances’, two or three males co-operate to herd a female for mating. Most males are also members of ‘second-order alliances’ – long-lasting agreements in which they fend off other groups trying to take their females. These gangs also mount attacks on other groups to take their females.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]Sometimes, the second-level alliance can be strengthened by forming ‘third-order alliances’ with males from other groups. This can lead to bloody battles in which more than 20 dolphins bite and bash each other over the right to one female. The females, in contrast, don’t form any strong friendships. [/LEFT]
[LEFT]The journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B reports there was only one observation of females forming a temporary coalition against young males. Most animals form alliances to defend their territory. But the study did not find any evidence of this. Instead, the dolphins appeared to live in a society without boundaries, in which animals paired and teamed up for a time, before splitting apart or even switching sides. Researcher Richard Connor, of the University of Massachusetts – Dartmouth, said dolphins would have to be incredibly smart to compute the ‘soap operatics’ of such a life. Only human society has such a complex social structure.[/LEFT]

With the sun shining and the water calm, it seemed like the perfect day for messing about in his boat. But this hapless kayaker didn’t bank on Tyson – an enormous swan which stalks this pretty waterway. The bird, standing 4ft tall with an 8ft wingspan, batters anyone who dares to venture near his nest. Locals say he has attacked at least three people in the past month. His antics have meant that a two-mile stretch of the popular Grand Union Canal in Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire, is now a ‘no-go area’ for children and families.
Joe Davies feels the wrath of Tyson the swan on the Grand Union Canal in Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire
Territorial Tyson patrols a two-mile stretch of the Grand Union Canal - which has now been declared off limits to boat users
According to popular belief a swan can break your arm, and Mr Davies added: ‘You hear about the damage that swans can do when they attack people so I was glad to get out of the water. Mr Davies, a chef in a nearby pub, said the swan had earned his nickname after a spate of attacks on rowers, canoeists and even walkers strolling on the river bank.
During the March to May breeding season, swans become particularly territorial and can be aggressive to intruders. They often threaten humans who venture too close to their nests while issuing a warning call. Although it may seem aggressive they are basically just being good parents, and doing everything they can to protect their young.’
I want to hug that pygmy hippopotamus forever.
Damn my weakness to cute baby animals, I’m a man DAMMIT!!! >_<!
‘I feel like it’s my face’: Astonishing progress of chimp attack victim Charla Nash, two years after receiving full-face transplant
Despite losing her eyesight, lips, nose, and hands in a vicious attack by a rampaging chimpanzee in 2009, face transplant recipient Charla Nash says she feels at home in her new skin. The brave 58-year-old woman, who nearly died in the horrific mauling, told the Hartford Courantexclusively that she feels no different than she did before the attack. ‘I just feel like it’s my face,’ she said. ‘It’s just not working real good.’
Brave face: After a full face transplant, chimpanzee maul victim Charla Nash is making a remarkable recovery and is gaining feeling in her new face
Before and after: Pictured before the attack, left, and after she received a full-face transplant, right
Ms Nash, a single mother from Stamford, Connecticut, told the Courant that she’s regaining movements in her face and can express herself with various motions.‘Every day, my muscles get better,’ she said.
Sandra Herold, who owned the 200-lb chimp Travis, died of an aneurism in 2010. Ms Nash said that if she could say anything to her former boss and friend, she would say she is ‘sorry that all this happened. And, nothing we can change now.’
However, she added that Herold was ‘a trouble person’ that was more worried about her pet – who was shot and killed after the attack – than she was of her. In past interviews, Ms Nash revealed that having a new face allowed her simple human pleasures – she has regained her sense of smell and can eat again.
Recovery: Six months in, Ms Nash showed off her face transplant surgery. Surgeons spent 20 hours re-building her features. In the attack, her eyes, nose, and lips were mauled off
She is even regaining sensation in her forehead, cheeks, eyebrow, and nose. But most of all, she’s learning how to smile. ‘It creases up here,’ Ms Nash told the Courant as she pointed at her mouth. In the interview, Ms Nash also spoke of long years of rehabilitation, and the hope of regaining some semblance of independence.
She said she misses simple things – like being able to bargain hunt, bask in the sunshine, or even look at her 20-year-old daughter, Brianna. ‘I have to depend on a lot of help,’ she said. ‘My life depends on really not being alone. I used to be very independent.’
She also gets phantom pains in her hands, despite the fact that they were removed after the 2009 attack.

Transplants added in surgery later had to be removed because of dangerous complications.
In an interview with ABC 7 last month, Ms Nash – who likes being called Charlie – said she doesn’t want anybody’s pity.
Furious George: She was attacked by 200-lb chimpanzee Travis in 2009
Her surgery, care, and rehabilitation have cost millions. According to the Courant, there is a $150million case pending against the state of Connecticut for allegedly not protecting its citizens from an unsafe creature. One state employee reportedly wrote in a memo that Travis’ attack was ‘an accident waiting to happen.’
[SIZE=5]Is it an omen? Mysterious BLACK FOX reappears in British countryside for first time since 2008[/SIZE]
According to legend, a black fox brings bad luck, but an amateur photographer could hardly believe his good fortune when he spotted the rare animal near his house. It is believed to be only the second time a black fox has been spotted in Britain.
Rare spot: John Moore, 58, from Bassingbourn, near Royston, Herts, saw the creature, with its distinctive white-tipped tail, in fields behind his house yesterday
Unusual: The black fox is so rare that wildlife experts believe there are only a handful of the breed left in the country
'I didn’t realise how rare it was until I did some research. An RSPCA officer told my neighbour the organisation had never seen one before as they are that rare.
The black fox is in fact an ordinary red fox which has black fur or is going through a phase where the colour of its fur is particularly dark.
The phenomenon is normally seen in growing cubs and generally the fox will develop to have a dark chestnut coat.
But a few red foxes will remain black due to a rare genetic flaw dating back hundreds of years. Only a handful of them are thoughtto exist in Britain.
Unwelcome sight: In medieval times, the black fox was considered a bad omen by superstitious villagers
Colouring: The black fox is in fact an ordinary red fox which has black fur or is going through a phase where the colour of its fur is particularly dark
WHY DOES THE BLACK FOX REPRESENT BAD LUCK?
In Gaelic tradition, black foxes are bringers of bad luck.
Rural communities used to tell of a fox as 'black as night, so that it could live in a man’s shadow and never be seen.'
Centuries-old superstitions are often found attached to black animals, such as black dogs and black cats.
It is thought to originate from when the black dog was said to bring disaster and doom to whoever saw the animal.
In Medieval times, villages were very afraid of the sighting of a black fox and considered it to predict trouble or bad luck.
In North America, foxes with black coats are often found with a variable amount of white or white-banded hair in the dark coat.
The red fox was introduced to America by the peans and black foxes exist in much greater numbers there because they were not hunted as widely.
In the UK their pelts were highly prized in the fur trade and it is believed the genetic strain became much scarcer.
Only one other black fox has been spotted in Britain before in Preston, Lancashire in 2008.
Some people took it as a bad omen as only a few weeks later the banks in Britain nearly collapsed.
But it seems the bad luck was turned inwards and a few weeks later a woman found the dead animal on her farm in Heapey, near Chorley, Lancashire, after it had been seen by neighbours hanging around the area, looking gaunt.

u should have kicked those birds and made some KFC for ur friends and teachers, cheap fob students are renown for this. labrador and duck chased me once. when the dog chased me I cried until it got bored and left me alone. the duck was a different story
Damn, man…you can’t just make up some coincidental shit like that. Life is weird.
Fortunately the geese thing never happened to me personally but if you’re going to kick one then you better prepare yourself to kick at least 10 more in the next minute. I’m more annoyed by their shitting all over the place than at the attacks. I don’t even want to think of the football pitches, ugh…
Perfect timing that we’re talking about this. An acquaintance of mine just got smoked in the face this afternoon by one. It came out of no where and did a shoryuken…gave her a bloody nose. Yikes…

[SIZE=5]Mysterious black fox is KILLED by car just days after being spotted in countryside[/SIZE]
The second black fox to ever be spotted in Britain has died today, just days after it was spotted by an amateur photographer.
The rare creature was killed after it was hit by a car on a busy road in Bassingbourn, Cambridgeshire, near to where it was first seen by John Moore, 58, on Monday.
Members of the public stopped to see if they could help to save the injured animal after they recognised it from being in the papers, but it was already dead.
According to legend, the black fox is an omen of bad luck, but on this occasion it seems it was the animal whose luck ran out.
