Little Kamok Will Capture Your Heart! Description from The Rainforest Site: "A newborn female elephant wandered alone onto the grounds of the Olpejeta Conservancy in Laikipia. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust was contacted immediately and the calf was airlifted to their nursery in Nairobi. There, it was discovered that the calf had some sort of joint issue, which must have made keeping up with her herd impossible. Thankfully, today the calf named Kamok has grown into a healthy young elephant who continues to gain strength every day. Watch her inspiring story!" She is a cutie!

Mother Raccoon teaches kit how to climb a tree 1:26 video shows the trials of a mother. You could fill in the words: "See the tree? Let's climb it. Cling to the bark! Do I have to grab your behind and heave? OK, let's try again. See how I just jump on and use my claws to... Pay attention, kid! Don't fall off the roof! OK I am going to lift you up and put you against the tree! Get. On. The. Tree! OMG he's climbing it! Oh, good! Better pretend to ignore him and see how he does. I'm staying close, though. This kit has a short attention span. I have mileage invested in this brat, so I am staying put, in case I have to catch him again. There's one in every litter."

Inside the World's Largest Snake Colony

Every year, thousands of snakes gather at the
Narcisse Snake Dens in Manitoba, Canada. It's billed
as the largest gathering of snakes anywhere in the world.
Manitoba's climate and geology make it the perfect place
for red-sided garter snakes to live and mate. It has
become a tourist attraction, but it's not for the faint of heart.
Snakes are not slimy. Garter snakes are harmless. The
babies are born alive. They hunt bugs and slugs. As they
grow up they move on to bigger bugs, lizards, and mice.
They prepare to hibernate. It gets cold in Manitoba in
winter, (-45.5 C or -50 F). Snakes are cold-blooded
(ectothermic) animals. To keep warm, they gather
together in huge bundles deep in cracks in the earth.
When spring arrives, the snakes come back outside,
hungry and ready to mate.

cells to drink up its delicious cytoplasm."

Two lynx arguing in the middle of a road - from Laughing Squid "Two angry lynx engage in a loud
yowling argument in the middle of a small road in the Maine woods. While traveling on a small road outside
of the Kokadjo Camps near Greenville, Maine, Tammy Mullen and her husband encountered the rather rare
sight of two angry lynx facing off. They came to a stop, opened the car door and heard the two big cats
loudly arguing with one another until one walked away, while still protesting loudly." - Laughing Squid
