See the many creatures that use a wildlife “highway”

From Voyageurs Wolf Project comes a video that shows a beaver dam in northern Minnesota and the many wildlife creatures that use the dam as a “highway.”

From the video description:

“This video is a compilation of the wildlife that crossed a beaver dam just south of Voyageurs National Park from March 2019-April 2020. This video was literally a year in the making!

Beaver dams can be wildlife highways in boreal environments like the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem, allowing all sorts of wildlife to easily cross wetland habitats which might be otherwise difficult to get across.”

Enjoy!

Why haven’t we seen more of this?

Remember in 2017 when a professor’s kids interrupted his live BBC TV interview?

With so many people being quarantined/working from home during the past almost two years, I’m surprised we haven’t seen more interviews end up like this!

Happy Friday!

Winston finds a friend!

Meet Winston, a miniature steer who lives at Delmar Farm. The farm is a equine and farm animal sanctuary in Florida that is home to horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, sheep, a cow, dogs and a barn cat.  The majority of their animals are rescues, special needs, seniors or have been donated.

Delmar obtained Winston when he was two months old. He had a hard time making friends on the farm until he met Ronny!

A donkey who thinks he’s a dog!

Walter the Donkey apparently thinks he’s a dog! He loves snuggling with his owner on the couch and going for walks with his fellow dogs.

Much cuteness!
