Fishermen On This Boat Spotted What They Thought Was a Seal But They Approached It and Got a Closer Look!

When a group of crab fishermen set out in their boat one summer day, they never could have imagined what they’d end up catching. It all started early on a June morning when the crew, Mallory Harrigan, Cliff Russell, and Alan Russell, were cruising off the coast of Labrador, Canada. Due to an unusually large amount of sea ice, they’d been unable to set out any earlier and were running a little later than expected. Despite the delay, it was business as usual and they busied themselves setting up all the fishing gear for the day ahead.
They had set a course for a small town on the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador called Pincent’s Arm where they planned to fuel up their boat, The Northern Swan. It was while they were enroute to their destination that they spotted something strange up ahead on a mushroom shaped piece of ice that was floating in the middle of the ocean.
Being four miles out from the nearest shore, they assumed it must be a seal at first. However, they noticed that a bunch of seagulls were circling the animal and if it was a seal it would have slipped back into the water to avoid the pesky birds. They motored closer to get a better look and soon realized that they were actually looking at an arctic fox that had become stranded on the small piece of ice! He must have been looking for food when the ice broke apart and ended up floating out to sea before he could get back to land.
Knowing that it faced certain death if they didn’t get it off the melting iceberg, the crew decided to rescue the poor fox. Naturally they hesitated, being that the fox was essentially a cornered wild animal, it could potentially lash out at them. Even so, they decided to take the risk because they were his only hope for survival.
They first tried coaxing the fox onto the boat, but he was too timid and afraid to even get close to them. They soon realized that the only way to get him was to break the ice he was on so that he’d fall in the water and from there they could scoop him out with their dipnet. After they broke the ice, the fox tried to swim away but he was already exhausted and weak from not eating or sleeping, so the crew didn’t have to wait long before they were able to scoop him up and onto the boat.
As soon as the fox was safely on board he scurried over to a corner and curled up into a ball. The fishermen tried to feed him some crackers they had, but the fox wasn’t interested. Shortly afterwards they’d reached Pincent’s Arm where they set about making a bed for the fox out of sawdust and fish pans. Their goal was to get him warmed up and dry, and once the fox settled into his new bed, he fell asleep right away.
While the fox slept the group went about their business before heading home to William’s Harbor. Hours passed before the fox finally woke up and when he did, he was thirsty and hungry. He was also relatively tame; he must have sensed the people were only trying to help him.
After he ate a tin of Vienna sausages he perked right up. The fishermen monitored him and once they decided that he could go off and survive in the wild they released him. His new home was on a small island in the harbor which had been used to house sled dogs in the past. There were old dog homes he could use for shelter and plenty of small animals and birds for him to hunt. After they re-homed the fox, they said he ran off to explore and that they still see him every now and then chasing after his dinner!

image via – youtube.com
Anybody who has a pet knows how much love and joy they can bring. After you rescue a cat or a dog and give them a furever home they become family. They are basically furry little babies that don’t cry and come with way less baggage and responsibility. With this being said, having a dog or a cat is a huge responsibility and if you do adopt you have to be prepared for everything that comes with it. Dogs can live anywhere from 8-20 years and cats live even longer, so these adorable little fur babies are going to be with you for a long time.
In some cases if you are married or in a long term relationship, one spouse may love the animal while they other can’t stand it. This can cause a deep strain in the relationship and sometimes it can even in some cases lead to the end of a long term relationship or marriage. This brings us to today’s story featuring a boyfriend and a girlfriend from Virginia who had been together for a long time.
The man had an amazing beagle named Molly who was his best friend. They did everything together from hikes in the woods, walks through towns and just hanging out on the couch watching movies. However, there was one huge problem; his girlfriend hated the dog so much! He couldn’t understand why because the dog was well behaved, super nice and never had accidents in the house. But she was relentless and wouldn’t give Molly the beagle a chance.
Could she have been jealous of their relationship and wanted her boyfriend all to herself? Did she just dislike all animals? He couldn’t figure out and she wasn’t clear about why she had such disdain towards the little pup. Finally, after months and months things reached a boiling point in their relationship. She told him he would have to choose between her or the beagle which was probably the worst ultamatum a person could ever get.
He thought about her ultamtum and proposition for a bit then figured out exactly what he was going to do. He opened his laptop, signed onto cragslist, went to the pet section and created an ad that would end breaking the internet! I honestly can’t stop laughing after I read his ad it is absolutely epic.

Fishermen Noticed This Strange Turtle Floating In The Ocean. Then They Saw He Needed Help Immediately!
image via – youtube.com
This planet is filled with so much wonderful forms of life. There is life in almost every crevice and part of planet earth. But as humans begin encroaching on other native species environments, it has been pretty devastating to animals, plants and any other type of life on Earth.
From people littering, chemical dumping, air/water pollution all have led to many plants and animals becoming endangered and in some cases even extinct!
Today’s story takes place in Tasmania when a bunch of fishermen spotted a strange looking turtle floating on the water. Not only were they concerned with the behavior they saw which was completely atypical for turtles, but this creature was way out of his normal environment and was most likely in way over his heads.
Many native animals are seen by people who live on the coast of Tasmania and for fisherman who are out on the water everyday. Some animals that are seen pretty often are Dolphins, Sea Birds, Whales and lots of others. However this turtle was a Loggerhead Turtle a species that is not native to the area
The fishermen decided to take matters into their own hands. They casted nets to try and pick the turtle up and attempt to rescue the poor thing. When they scooped the turtle out onto their boat, they began to examine the organism to try and figure out what was wrong.
The first thing that popped out, was massive amounts of barnacles which means that he mostly likely hasn’t been active for a very long time. He was lethargic, week and was in close-to-death condition. They weren’t exactly sure what to do so they called the Marine Conservation Program.
The Marine Conservation keeps tabs on all the native animals and plants on the region to make sure the ecosystem is thriving and in staying in symbiotic harmony between all the life forms.
A lot of times, their main job is to get called by native citizens who see an animal that is in really bad shape and they come out, determine the issue and then take care of it. The Marine Conservation sent over some people to help bring this beautiful turtle back into good health……

THIS Is The Actual and Unexpected Reason Why Dogs Jump On You When You Get Back To Your House!
image via – youtube.com
For anyone who has ever had a dog it isn’t huge news to find out that dogs feel actual love for their owners. However, because they’re unable to speak, they have to find other ways to communicate their love. Even dog lovers might be surprised by the hidden meanings behind the things that your dogs do on a regular basis.
Sleeping on their side – It seems that when dogs sleep on their sides, they’re actually trying to tell their owner how they feel about them. By doing this, dogs are telling you that they love and trust you.
Sleeping on their stomach – When dogs sleep on their stomachs, its often because they are shy or gentle dogs. When sleeping in this way, dogs are unable to sleep deeply and cannot reach REM sleep in this position.
Sleeping on their back – When a dog sleeps or lies on its back, it is often because they are hot and are trying to cool off. If the dog’s arms are crossed, it means they want to be left alone so he can sleep.
Staring – If a dog is staring at you, it simply means that he wants your attention and love. So go out and play already!
Staring with their tongue out – While staring certainly identifies a desire for attention in a dog, a tongue out also can show you what mood they are in. Usually, when a dog stares with his tongue out, it means that he is relaxed and generally content at that moment.
Intense eye contact – When a dog stares intensely at you, it actually means something different than a normal stare. This kind of scrutiny signifies that the dog is trying to read your expression as to better understand what you want from the animal.
When Your Dog Jumps On You After You Arrive At Your House – This is because he missed you so much that if it means knocking you over and giving you a hug while licking you on the floor; so be it! This is the ultimate show of love any canine will ever show for their human.
Stance with open mouth, relaxed tail, and high ears – When a dog carries this stance, it means that the animal is relaxed and secure in its surroundings. If you want to approach a dog you don’t know, look for this stance.
Stance with a pointed tail and forward-facing ears – When a dog maintains this posture, it means that the animal is curious about something. They probably hear or smell something that interests them.
Loose floppy tongue – When a dog has its mouth open with its tongue hanging out, it simply means that your dog is extremely happy. Keep up the good work!
Soft increasing bark – If a dog starts barking at you and steadily continues louder, it means that he wants to play with you. So what are you waiting for?!?
Everyone knows that dogs are full of love. What most don’t know is that many regular actions that dogs take can actually tell you things about the dog. Through their actions, dogs communicate mood, wants, and even love. Here are some of the ways they tell you that something is bothering them.
Howling – Dogs have exceptional hearing, often much better than humans. As a result, they can hear things that we can’t. This includes high pitched noises. Dogs usually howl when they hear these noises either because they’re irritated by the noises or because the noises are actually hurting the dog’s ears.
Baring teeth, ears back, and snarling – This one is pretty obvious. If a dog is exhibiting this kind of aggressive behavior, it means that it is aggravated and on edge. Make sure to always be careful when approaching dogs in an angry state as they could pose a physical threat. If your own dog is like this, try to calm them down by giving them a treat, bone, or toy they like. Hopefully, this will relax your pup.
Low growl – This just means that your pup is anxious or scared. Logically, if there is something that is clearly scaring the canine, separate the two. If you’re not sure what could be causing it, employ the same tactics as when your dog is angry. Note what antagonizes your dog so you can avoid negative interactions in the future.

What you are about to watch in the video below, is so special, that this moment in nature has to be viewed, to fully experience it’s incredible impact. In a man’s large hand, you will see what looks like, a very large abnormally shaped lima bean. At first I was really confused and couldn’t even really tell what this strange shaped structure is.
As you watch, a miracle of life begins to unfold before your very eyes. It is not a lima bean at all it’s actually an egg, which becomes apparent as a tiny green head begins to emerge from the shell. What you are watching is the precious moment of the birth of a chameleon! I’ve seen chicken hatch before but never anything like this. It almost feels like a dinosaur is being born right before your eyes!
This footage is truly breathtaking, as you slowly watch each part of this creature hatch from the egg. Some viewers have expressed concern that this man’s holding the egg as the chameleon hatched, would inhibit it’s immediate instinct and ability to climb and cling…not so!
Watch this little guy go into the wild to become an expert hunter with stereoscopic vision.
