The baby horse wasn’t sure how to make it over the tiny wall. But mama is ready to teach her foal a life lesson… ;)
Germany has opened the first three-mile stretch of a bicycle highway that will eventually span over 62 miles, connecting 10 western cities including Duisburg, Bochum, and Hamm, as well as four universities.
And this highway is an entirely separate roadway that will remain completely car-free.
Like a traditional highway, this bicycle highway has passing lanes, overpasses and underpasses for crossroads, and even streetlights. However, cyclists won't have to worry about trucks zooming by or bus lanes. It's just a clear path for miles and miles.
In a study completed by regional development group RVR, it's projected to take 50,000 cars off the road each day.

Bandit the bull was just one of the millions of animals confined to narrow stables and chains. In the video below, Bandit performs a “dance of freedom” after living a life bound by chains. He shows his gratitude to Christian from the sanctuary Gut Aiderbichl, which is home to more than 500 rescued cows, bulls and calves.
As happy as can be, the giant bull — with a heart as big as his body — runs gleefully around his new home and digs his hooves into the fresh hay. He’s finally experiencing joy for the first time ever.
Watch the incredible moment that Bandit realizes he can simply live his life as a bull now, without pain or suffering. Seeing Bandit approach Christian and nuzzle his massive head into his savior’s chest nearly brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful, surreal interaction!
Gut Aiderbichl is a refuge for animals that have been rescued from abuse, neglect, and the inevitability of being slaughtered. The sanctuary works to create a personal relationship and deep understanding between humans and animals in a protected environment.

The Huffington Post reported on a new study out of The University of Alberta that shows that drinking a glass of red wine may have the same effect on the body as an hour at the gym. A component in the wine, resveratrol, was seen to improve physical performance, heart function and muscle strength similar to the effect exercise has on the body. Principal investigator Jason Dyck said, "We were excited when we saw that resveratrol showed results similar to what you would see from extensive endurance exercise training. I think resveratrol could help patient populations who want to exercise but are physically incapable. Resveratrol could mimic exercise for them or improve the benefits of the modest amount of exercise that they can do."
Discussion over the health benefits of red wine has been well documented. Previous studies have revealed that those who drink a glass of red wine a day are less likely to develop dementia or cancer, that it's good for anti-ageing, and can regulate blood sugar.
