This amazing video captures just how smart elephants are! The leader of the small group of elephants emerges out of the jungle and on to the road. There is a cyclist right in front of him so he chases the man away. The elephant continues to stand in the road causing a traffic jam. The motorists coming towards him stop immediately not wanting to have him direct his attention towards them and potentially damage their vehicles or cause them injury. The elephant continues to stand across the two lanes of the road until he feels the road is safe to cross.

When there is enough distance between the elephant and traffic he signals. From the jungle emerges the rest of his small pack including a very young elephant. They quickly cross the road into the other side of the jungle and it is as if nothing ever happened.

This truly shows how humans and animals interact when their lives intersect.

Cats are such cute creatures, especially the one you will get to know now. By looking at his emerald green eyes lurking from his beautiful sandy fur, you will definitely fall in love with him and end up saying: ”Is he even real?” 

If you love cows but feel like a full sized one is impractical, you can always opt for a miniature version. Yes, you can own a pet mini cow! There are farms in the U.S. that specialize in breeding pet mini cows.



According to Lovable Little Ones, a cattle breeder in Colorado, mini cows are "exceptional pets that demonstrate a great deal of affection, are very social, and are easy to take care of."

"Miniature cattle are a great inexpensive way to teach your children responsibility, and some very useful agricultural fundamentals. Their small size makes miniature cattle easy and safe to work with for any enthusiast."


Unlike full-sized cows, miniature cows do not require expensive handling equipment.

Members of the St. Joseph High School cross-country team in California invited more than a dozen shelter dogs to accompany them on their morning run this week.

Each teammate was paired with a dog from the Santa Barbara County Animal Shelter before heading out for a long run as one big happy group.


"I am not sure who was more excited and having the most fun ... the dogs or the kids," coach Luis Escobar said. "Either way, it was a great time and I am sure we will do it again sometime soon."

Hopefully this becomes a regular thing, and that it inspires other schools to try it out, too!
