In September, Spanish police encountered a pony tied to a tree. The elderly animal was not in a good place. The pony had been abandoned in the heat of a Spanish summer. Essentially, the animal was not in prime condition.
When the police officers approached, they couldn’t help but gasp at the poor pony’s emaciated body. Evidence of poor treatment was all over the animal’s torso. When the officers got closer, the animal wouldn’t even look up at them. Luckily, the officers knew what they were doing.
The officers were from the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre (EHCRC) located in a village nearby. The officers brought the pony to the center. Specialists estimated the pony to be around 20 years old. They noted that upon arrival, he was malnourished, dehydrated, and weak. Worst of all, one of the pony’s eyes was literally rotting inside his head likely caused by a neurological disorder.
Luckily, the pony was finally in a place where he had the opportunity to experience real love and care. After taking care of his immediate injuries and thoroughly feeding the pony, the EHCRC devoted a page on their website to the animal. They wrote on the page that while the pony was a special needs animal and would require special care, he is already much healthier. It was truly a miracle that the officers found the poor animal in time.

Criminals Kidnapped This 12 Year Old Little Girl. But The Thugs Never Expected THIS Surprise To Jump Out And Save Her!
image via – youtube.com
Bride kidnapping is a real thing in some parts of the world. It occurs when a man abducts and captures a woman who he wishes to marry. In Africa, it is most prevalent in the country of Ethiopia and even though it’s criminalized, and the legal marriageable age is 18 years old, many cases involve forcing a minor child into a marriage.
When a 12 year old girl from Ethiopia’s capital city, Addis Ababa, was abducted by seven men, her family knew she was the victim of bride kidnapping. They contacted the local police and began searching all over for her, but when a week went by, she was still missing. They knew the odds of them finding her were against them and were growing more hopeless and worried by the day.
The young girl had been secreted away to a hiding place by her captors who beat her repeatedly. Since their plan was to force her into a marriage with one of them, they knew the girl’s family and authorities were looking for them, so they chose a very remote place well off the beaten path. However, it proved to be one of the worst spots to hide out at because they were actually encroaching on a pride of lion’s territory.
When the lions nearby heard the young girl crying, they responded to the sound and came right over to her. A group of three big cats showed up and when the men who were holding the girl captive saw them, they got scared and ran off! The lions seemed to stand guard over the girl and protecting her from harm. They didn’t try to attack or hunt her down, rather they simply sat nearby and kept watch.
While many people who heard about the lion’s behavior think it was a miracle of sorts that the girl wasn’t attacked, there is a reasonable explanation for the seemingly odd occurrence. According to wildlife experts, the lions most likely heard her crying and mistook it for that of a lion cub mewing. That triggered an instinctual response to protect her and is why they approached her to see if she was okay and didn’t try to eat her. It’s also why the men were scared off. While just the sight of three lions would be enough to send them running, the lions would have also seen them as the threat they were and attacked them.
Whatever the reason may truly be, the lions saved the little girl’s life. They stayed by her side guarding her for half a day until her family and police arrived. Once they saw that she was safe, it’s like they knew their work was done and they simply walked back into the forest and disappeared.
According to police, four of the men who kidnapped her were captured and arrested, they are still searching for the remaining three. Though the girl was obviously traumatized by her ordeal and taken to the hospital to be treated for cuts and bruises that she sustained from the beatings, she was found and reunited with her family. If not for the lions, that probably would never have happened.

Fishermen On This Boat Spotted What They Thought Was a Seal But They Approached It and Got a Closer Look!
image via – youtube.com
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!

Farmer Working His Land Discovers a 3,000 Year Old Hidden Mysterious Secret Lurking In a Hole Beneath His Farm!
image via – youtube.com
Many cool and unique things have been discovered by people working the land and improving their homes. In the 1980s loggers down in Georgia found a mummified dog 28 feet up in a hollow tree, while a man in Italy discovered a Franciscan chapel and artworks from the Knights Templar while fixing a leaky bathroom toilet pipe! It just goes to show that every day, mundane, seemingly ordinary tasks can turn into amazing and historically significant finds in the blink of an eye.
When a Greek olive farmer in Rousses, a tiny village in south Crete, went to park his vehicle on a hot sunny afternoon, he was looking for a nice shady spot. He pulled up to one of his olive trees and parked beneath it when the ground suddenly began to sink. Realizing what was happening, he quickly moved from the area and after driving off he noticed that a four foot wide hole had opened up right where he’d left.
Thinking that maybe a sinkhole had opened, he went back to investigate the sudden void in the earth. When he peered over the edge into the hole, he realized that he had quite possibly stumbled upon something extraordinary.
Approximately eight feet down in the hole he could make out some old pieces of pottery and that was enough for him to call in the experts. Archeologists from the ministry of antiquity arrived and set to work examining the carved out limestone cavern the farmer found. They determined that it was a tomb consisting of three compartments that had been carved out some 3400 years ago. A vertical shaft provided the only access and being buried so deep in the ground, the tomb had remained undisturbed and un-looted since it was originally sealed off by stone.
Inside the tomb was pair of coffins, each with an adult male skeleton inside. There were also fourteen ritual amphorae, a drinking cup, and an amphora krater, a two handled pot with a narrow neck and wide body. All the pottery was of high quality, which meant that the two men were likely wealthy. Based on these ceramics, the tomb was dated to the Late Minoan IIIA-B period, which was from about 1400-1200 BC. The Minoans were a Bronze Age civilization who came before the ancient Greeks. They lived on the island of Crete and had an immense, lasting impact on Greek life in the areas of art, architecture, the military, mythology, and much more.
Finding the two men buried in the sealed underground tomb under the olive tree settled a long standing debate on whether or not Minoans had settled in that particular area of Crete, which had previously been doubted. Now there was clear and convincing evidence that showed they had indeed.

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……

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.
