This is some wonderful footage of a Great Grey Owl hunting for a mouse thru the snow. Their hearing is incredibly sensitive!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Love it! ❤️ I've heard they have good hearing, this is amazing.
Eeeeew & it eats it alive & whole!
Thank you for sharing!!
It can really pinpoint the exact location of the mice on the snow, amazing creature.
That's fast !
No messing around…
Lot better than mine. Whaaa?
Do you mind if I share this?
In 2015, a Yale University study estimated there were roughly three trillion trees still standing on Earth (which was more than they expected). Then in 2022, another group of researchers concluded there were 73,000 tree species globally, among which 9,000 tree species have yet to be discovered — 9,000 unknown species! Who knew?

If you were to slap together parts from 6 different birds, you might end up with a bird that looks like the Golden Pheasant. This beautiful bird is mostly found in the mountains of western China, but can also be found across the United Kingdom. And if you want to see one, dont look up - look down, since they are more into running than flying.

Sometimes, even the 'King of the Jungle' knows when it's time to retreat! Trust us, these buffalo can get really cranky! We had one ram our truck once and the damage it caused was considerable. It got our attention!

This definitely brings Mufasa to mind.
I don't want to be the firefighter who gets the call to get the 'kitty' out of the tree! ha ha
You got that right!!!
Have never understood the " King of the Jungle " title. Lions don't live in jungles.
Dallas Brett Have you seen anything like it?
I don't know if this ir real..
M'Bogo
What jungle?
The question is, how long can the King hang on?
Thank goodness for claws.

Elephant shrews are not rodents, but we can see how most people would think that. The creature is one of the fastest small mammals, having been recorded to reach speeds of 28.8 kp/h (17.9 mph). And compared to other mammalian insectivores, they have relatively large brains. Their most noticeable feature is an elongated snout, which they twist and turn, like an elephant, when searching for prey (insects, worms, and other creatures without spines). And that tongue... well it uses it to toss dinner into its mouth much like an anteater would. Like we said - don't call me a rodent!

Alice Winstanley but are they more of an elephant or more of a shrew?
Walruses are more intelligent than you might think. One of the most obvious signs of intelligence in marine mammals, like walruses, is social learning and group coordination. This is because they are one of the very few mammals, other than humans, which socially mimic each other’s vocalizations and behaviour.
Don't believe us - watch this video.

Awful name, poor boy! He seems smart and sweet! Which zoo?No tusks?

Not ugly. Charming❤️
Not sure who is winning this battle... but it seems the snake's strategy is to wrap itself around the Heron's beak to avoid any possible issues. Might work - might not!

Poor snakey, but a great shot!
the snake is killing himself he is holding the birds beak around his neck
Heron wins this battle im sure
Almost a choke hole get it on Bro
Hope not
Water moccasin or Cotton mouth is deadly bite
Snakes have to eat to live and I can't see how this poor bird is going to get away from this.
Snake is toast 💯
Scary… I’m pulling for the Heron.
The heron needs a friend who loves snake meat!
Believe or not, whales have arm, wrist & finger bones in their front fins that resemble a human hand... thumb included. For example, this photo is the front fin bones of a Grey whale. All cetaceans (Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises) and Pinnipeds (Seals, Sea Lions, Walruses) have flippers. However, inside those flippers are bones that resemble a human hand.

So we are evolution of whales 🐳
Whales used to be land animals.
Oh comme nous incroyable 😮😮s 'est a se poser des questions .
As do seals. But additionally, seals have finger nails!
Looks more like the feet of animal that once walked on land.
Sure looks like the Giant of Kandahar.
Están evolucionando o involucionando?

The Tripod fish, or if you prefer their latin name (grallator), which means 'one who walks on stilts', is as strange as they come. This deep-sea fish has elongated pelvic fins and an elongated tail fin which it uses to ‘stand’ motionless on the seafloor. Not swim... but stand! From there, it faces the deep-sea currents and waits for food to come swimming by. And, we should probably mention the tripod fish is also virtually blind - so there's that. And one final fun fact: they’re simultaneous hermaphrodites. They have both male and female reproductive organs (ovotestis) that mature at the same time! Like we said... one strange fish!
Googling this...so many questions. Wondering if the tripod legs telescope, or angle & tuck behind the fish so it can swim. Most species "designs" make sense to me. This one just doesn't at first glance.
Talk about a blind date! 🤣
