Conservation workers don’t normally intervene when nature takes hold of the animals who reside there. But on this particular day, they just could not sit by and watch a mother elephant die with her baby. A baby African elephant became stuck in a deep mud lagoon in Zambia. When the calf’s mother saw her fall and struggle, she attempted to rescue her — but she also sank in and got stuck. The deeper they sank, the higher their likelihood of death became.

By the grace of God, wildlife officials and conservationists saw the pair and snapped into action. For two whole hours, they battled against the heat as the mud began to dry.

As soon as they made progress and began pulling the calf to safety, the baby ran back into the mud to be with her mother. It’s incredible to see how she risked her own life to stay by her mom’s side.

After yet another two attempts, tireless effort, and tons of strength, the heroes were finally able to pull Mom out of the mud. Exhausted but grateful, she ran back to her herd and baby.

Check out the pics of the dramatic rescue below:

In this video their human tells the two pups to roll over. After both Rotties roll over he gets to the cat… I have never seen a cat do this before!

Did you know that the nutritional properties of bananas change as they ripen? Have you noticed that the taste of the bananas changes as they ripen, it gets sweeter? This happens because of the enzymes contained in the bananas are progressively breaking down the starch (a long polymeric form of sugar that doesn’t taste sweet) turning it into simple sugars (disaccharides or monosaccharides which taste sweet).

When the banana ripens that means that the starch has already turned into simple sugar and it is easier to digest. Although according to researches, the quantities of vitamins and minerals reduces as the banana ripens. That is why it should be stored in a refrigerator.


Japanese researchers discovered a very interesting fact about bananas. According to them as the banana ripens it produces more antioxidants and more anticancer properties. When the banana is fully riped with dark spots on the yellow skin it produces a substance called TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor), a substance that can combat abnormal cells.

The research also shows that the more darker spots it has the better the anti-cancer properties are. Moreover, a banana with yellow skin and dark spots is eight times more effective in boosting body’s immune system than the green skin banana.

Therefore, the best time to eat the banana is when it’s fully ripen. But if you suffer from type 2 diabetes or you want to avoid a fast increase of your blood sugar levels, you might want to consider eating a riped banana with nut butter – because the fat slows down the sugar absorption into your blood stream. Or you can consume the banana while it’s still green. (level 3 or 4 in the pic)

I had a pet bird growing up, and I could always count on him for a hearty laugh. There’s something about birds that make them the goofiest animal of all — and I love pretty much every internet video that features our feathered friends.

Here, we meet two birds of a feather — Jonathan and Sadie, a macaw and cockatoo. And on this particular day, Jonathan decided to get a little jiggy with it, and he ended up “challenging” Sadie to an epic dance battle. As the two birds fight to the finish, their owners can hardly keep a straight face. Rock it out, guys!

At :40, I couldn’t stop laughing either. Watching these silly birds get down and funky almost makes me wanna dance!
