leopard attack

Check Out This Video Of A Leopard Trying To Attack A Porcupine

21 April 2017 UNDER Blog

A group of people on safari in South Africa’s Kruger National Park were tracking a leopard that was walking in front of them. They noticed the big cat’s behaviour change dramatically when it spotted a couple of porcupines heading in its direction. The leopard thought it had won the lottery with dinner arriving. Donovan Piketh who was part of the group said as soon as the porcupines were spotted by the leopard it quickly went into stalking mode and the group knew something was going to happen. Mr Piketh said it was the first time he had seen porcupines, what happened next suggests it was probably the leopard’s first time as-well.

Check Out This Dude Sharing His Water With A King Cobra

7 April 2017 UNDER Blog

Now this is something you don’t see every day and you definitely don’t want to try this at home. This video shows a massive king cobra that had been captured and seems to be drinking directly from a man’s water bottle. The reason for the behaviour is because there is extreme drought across Southern India. The king cobra is extremely venomous and the video shows the reptile turning its head towards the person holding the bottle who cautiously pours water in to its mouth whilst holding a hook near its head so that they can respond if the snake turns on them.

28 March 2017 UNDER Blog

A diving instructor who was teaching a scuba course to group of divers that were swimming in the Snapper Reef waters off the coast of the Cayman Islands saw a nurse shark lying in the sand. This in itself is not unusual because nurse sharks are known to exhibit this kind of behaviour. However, something did strike Brett Johnson as strange. In an interview with the Cayman Compass, he thought the shark was sleeping as first but then he noticed something protruding from its head.

Watch This Cute Puppy Going Nuts TryingTo Tackle A Dog Course

21 March 2017 UNDER Blog

Okay so perhaps this Jack Russell had no chance at winning this dog competition but his enthusiastic spirit and peppy attitude makes him a winner. Olly the terrier doesn’t need anything to confirm that he is a strong, independent little fella. If you haven’t seen the video check it out. It shows Olly super hyped to tackle the obstacle course during this year’s Crufts dog show in Birmingham. He was so hyped that he was unable to contain himself on the course. He was like a kid who had been given a few shots of espresso and there was simply no way of controlling his rocket fuel energy. The video is super cute. Check out this lovely puppy and his indomitable spirit.

7 March 2017 UNDER Blog

Indian park rangers are making use of a cuddly toy tigress to enable three cubs that have been traumatised return to their normal selves following the death of their mother. Recently the cubs were found orphaned and are now quite happily feeding from milk bottles that have been placed inside the stuffed toy. Midrul Pathak, field director at Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in the central state of Madhya Pradesh says they were initially given goats milk but rejected it because they did not like the human interaction.

That was not an easy task fortunately with a little luck the Keith Dutlow one of the vets was able to get a clear shot and immobilise the lion.

When young bucks battle for dominance during mating season, sometimes they will accidentally get their antlers tangled and on occasion they get so tangled they are unable to free themselves and the outcome of that is not good. Fortunately, we have a story that ends well here. Two tangled deer that were struggling for survival in the Kansas snow were found by two game wardens that appeared at the right time and were willing to chase them down and take a shot.
