Marlin Attacking a Bait Ball
This is some AWESOME underwater footage shot by Terry Maas of Striped Marlin, Dorado (AKA Mahi Mahi), whales and some seals attacking a bait ball of sardines. After about 4 minutes you?ll see how the Marlin uses its spear to injure or kill its prey. You can actually see how the Marlin spear the sardines as they attack the bait leaving sardines bloodied and battered.
What happens is the sardines get scared by the predators and they school up in a circle for protection creating a ?bait ball?. As fish circle and with no where for the bait to retreat, the bait ball the gets tighter in an effort to stay as far way from their inevitable doom.
I?ve seen some really great underwater footage from professional videographers. But I?ve never seen such clear footage of how Marlin attack their prey and to boot the YouTube codecs are awesome giving a much clearer picture that you used to get. If you have a broadband connection definitely watch the HD version.

Love Is Strong
Found this on Yahoo’s front page then it disappeared assumed it had to be on YouTube and Voila here it is again. Found it too awesome not to put up here, even if it’s for my own enjoyment.
In 1969 a young Australian, John Rendall and his friend Ace Bourke, bought a small lion cub from Harrods pet department, which was then legal. ‘Christian’ was kept in the basement of a furniture shop on the Kings Road in Chelsea, the heart of the swinging sixties. Loved by all, the affectionate cub ate in a local restaurant, played in a nearby graveyard, but was growing fast…
A chance encounter with Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna led to a new life for Christian. He came to live in a huge enclosure and to sleep in a caravan at their Surrey home. Then in 1971 he was flown to Kenya, his ancestral home, and returned to the wild by lion-man George Adamson. Nine months later in 1972, John and Ace returned to Kora in Kenya. This clip is of their reunion at that time.
It was an emotional reunion: “He ran towards us, threw himself onto us, knocked us over and hugged us, with his paws on our shoulders.”

Polar Bears and Sled Dogs Playing
This is a video of Polar bears and Huskies interacting in a friendly way with each other. First of I wanted to post this video because I love animals and thought this was “cute”. Then I remembered my “Global Warming is destroying the ice caps” friend and that she told me the Polar bears were being starved to death and forced to eat garbage.
If (these) Polar Bears were so hungry wouldn’t they eat these dogs? In the video you can see just how easy it would be for them to do so. mmmmm these bears are huuuuungry.
