So now that summer is here we are all going to be spending so much more time outside. Nothing feels better than stepping out of your house or apartment breathing in the fresh air, feeling the warm sunshine hit your face and just simply enjoying a beautiful day. We will all be spending a lot more time outside whether it is our backyards, the local park, the pool or the beach. Laying in the grass with a towel and catching some rays is definitely a favorite hobby of mine.
This brings us to today’s article. We have all been out in our backyards, our friends lawn, a public park or basically anywhere where the grass grows. Seeing a brown patch of grass doesn’t really seem like a big deal and most of us just overlook it and think, “What’s the big deal it’s just a circle of dead grass?”
While sometimes this can be the case, a brown patch of grass can be something much more than that. Now have no fear, the brown patch of grass is not dangerous and it isn’t going to hurt you, however what’s lurking just beneath it could be potentially hurt by you.
Confused? So was I until I learned about this little known fact about nature. As it turns out, that innocuous patch of brown grass could have a family of animals living right beneath it. In today’s story a man in Ontario, Canada noticed one of these brown patches on his lawn and then looked closer and saw the patch moving like the earth beneath had a mind of it’s own! He immediately called Ontario Wildlife Removal to see if they had any idea what this could be.
The expert from the Ontario Wildlife Removal got to the house inspected the strange brown moving patch of grass and quickly realized it was a rabbit’s nest filled with a bunny family just below the surface. He took a closer look and saw a litter of tiny hairless rabbits. He took some pictures in and a video you can watch in the video below.
The expert explains if you see one of these brown patches do not touch it under any circumstances. Even if you see a litter of ‘abandoned’ baby rabbits moving, the mother is most likely very close by and only brings them food twice per day. Many people don’t know this, but the reason the nests are usually in plain sight near human houses or apartments in the middle of your lawn or park is because predators tend to stay away from these places because they are afraid of people!
These dangerous predators who would otherwise eat baby rabbits won’t even attempt to approach the nests because they are too scared to come too close to the human population. Little did I know I was a baby rabbit protector! I don’t know about you but that’s a job I’ll take and do it free!
These baby rabbits are safe from their natural predators such as foxes, wolves and coyotes however, little kids, dogs and outdoor cats now become their biggest threat. Your best bet if you spot one these brown patches in your yard is to make sure your kids and pets can’t get to it until the baby bunnies are ready to leave the nest.
Baby rabbits grow extremely fast and within just a few weeks, that brown patch on your lawn will be vacant because the baby bunnies will be big enough and strong enough to fend for themselves in the wild. So next time you see one of these brown patches on the grass keep your distance and let your friends and family know.
Watch the video below for a full explanation and footage of the baby bunnies and what you should look for:

THIS Pup Just Moved Into a New House But Then Freaks Out When She Notices THIS Strange Thing Outside!

Moving can be extremely stressful in more ways than one, especially for our animal companions. When they first step foot into their new home it’s both exciting and terrifying all at once and they can quickly become overwhelmed by the experience. That’s because a new house is full of different types of strange smells, unfamiliar sights, and sometimes there are even new rules that pets have to get used to, like no going on the couch or upstairs.
Our four-legged friends often need a little extra time and space to process and become accustomed to their new surroundings. Once they settle in after a bit, it’s as if they’ve always lived there. It’s always interesting to see how animals approach and explore their new digs, especially dogs.
Compared to cats, they’re quicker, more animated, and much less cautious. A dog will run around sniffing out every single nook and cranny they come across, whereas cats run and hide under furniture. Some dogs will even run and jump straight into the new swimming pool, which is exactly how one adorable puppy named Christy reacted when she saw that her new house came with an in-ground pool in the backyard!
When the little snow-white West Highland Terrier caught her first glimpse of the pool, all her attention immediately was focused on getting outside to see it up close. Christy happily spun in circles, jumped up on the screen, and barked in delight at the awesome new upgrade in her life.
She was so excited that her little tail was wagging back and forth at a hundred miles an hour and when the door finally slid open she wasted no time and bolted right outside. She went full speed straight ahead without hesitating even the slightest bit and jumped right into the water like a champion! she ended up in the pool! She didn’t hesitate in the slightest and jumped right into the water like a champion.
As soon as she ended up in the pool Christy looked like she was on cloud nine as she swam around blissfully, nipping here and there at the water. The excited pup doggy paddled over to the stairs, got out, and ran to the other end of the pool to jump in and do it all over again.
After watching this little Terrier’s reaction, it’s safe to assume that she will be very happy in her new home. Now that she has a pool to go swimming in whenever she’d like, she’s probably already forgotten about the previous place she used to live.
Check out her unbelievably joyful reaction and pass it on with anyone who may need a smile!

He Rescued Kittens On The Side Of The Road. But He Had No Idea They Would Become THIS!
image via – youtube.com
Coming face to face with a wild cat is a breathtakingly rare occurrence. The larger, undomesticated animals are usually quiet, shy, and elusive, choosing to stay out of sight and away from humans and even other cats. At least that is true of full grown, adult cats who roam large territories hunting in search for food.
Young baby kittens, not so much, they’re more inquisitive and less afraid of people and other animals. Everything is new to them and that’s why they need their mother to watch over and keep them safe from harm. So when 18 year old Hamdan Shibli, from Israel, was walking to work and stumbled upon three tiny kittens, he was quite surprised and concerned.
The kittens were just sitting in plain sight on the side of the dirt road he walked down every day. There was no mother in sight and they looked weak and in need of help. Thinking that their mother might be around and come back for them, Hamdan moved them away from the road and placed them under a bush so they’d be out of plain sight. He took a few pictures, then continued on his way to work.
Later on, when he was looking at those pictures, he suddenly realized that the kittens he saw were not your average domestic cats. Instead they were actually Jungle cats! Jungle cats are similar in size and appearance to the lynx, but they live in Southeast Asia, India, parts of southern China, and in pockets throughout the middle east and the Nile Valley.
Even though they are not on the threatened or endangered species lists, their numbers are dropping quickly due to many factors including loss of habitat and hunting. When they are young, they look just like domestic kittens at first glance, so it’s easy to overlook them like Hamdan did.
He rushed back to the spot he placed them and thankfully they were still there. Once again there was no mother in sight and they looked just as weak and vulnerable as before. He scooped all three into a basket and took them straight to a veterinarian who specialized in wild animals to get them checked out.
Unfortunately, one of the kittens passed away but the other two were treated. The vet removed all of the ticks that covered their tiny bodies and nursed them back to health with special formula and round the clock care.
It was determined that the poor little kitties were no older that 5 weeks old and extremely dehydrated and weak. The vet put a plan in action to get their weight up and then get them eating solid food, before finally releasing them back into the wild once they were strong and healthy enough.
Thanks to Hamdan’s quick thinking and desire to help another animal in need, the two surviving Jungle cats have a second chance to live a normal life, free in the wild, as nature intended. What a wonderful and inspiring rescue story, I wish all could end so well.

THIS Rare Video Of a Giant Moose Was Caught. But When He Shakes His Head The UNTHINKABLE Occurs!
image via – youtube.com
The Eberhart family were at their cabin just outside of Laramie, Wyoming in November of 2015. Out of their window, in a picturesque snowy field, they witness the peaceful scene of a moose sauntering along.
They immediately start to film the beautiful animal, when it suddenly shakes his head, and they literally can not believe their eyes. In the video below you will see what the family witnessed. Kim Eberhart relayed the moment to “National Geographic”, saying, that as the moose shook his head one of his antlers fell off!
You will hear the astonishment of the family in the background, as they keep the camera rolling. As they utter their worst fears for the animal, you will see the actual facts about moose pop up, alerting us that this usually painless occurrence is part of the male moose’s mating season!
This short footage is mesmerizing; despite the fact that we find out that this shedding of the antlers is normal, actually catching the moment that it occurs is very rarely seen. I found that getting a glimpse into such an unexpected moment in the life of a moose, was an awesome thing to behold.

THIS King Cobra Is Holding Up Traffic. Then An UNTHINKABLE Surprise Snatches Him Off The Street!
image via – youtube.com
King cobras have earned their fearsome reputation as a deadly snake whose bite contains enough venom to kill a human. In some cases, people have died less than 30 minutes after the deadly bite, and those who survive have reported that it’s extremely painful to endure and can have long lasting detrimental effects on the human body.
Even more astounding is the fact that their bite is capable of killing huge elephants in mere hours. While king cobras usually prefer to avoid humans, contact with them is inevitable as we encroach more and more on their territory. They can be found all across India and Southeast Asia!
One little, scrappy feisty mammal has absolutely no fear of the deadly king cobra. This mammal is the mongoose! They are very smart, clever and are well known for their ability to fight snakes, particularly cobras, often winning and then eating them whole. Some species of mongoose are resistant to the neurotoxins found in snake venom which makes then a natural predator to the snakes. Basically making the snakes main weaponry obsolete!
In the short footage below a king cobra has found a sunny and relaxing spot to bask in the sun on the warm paved road. The slinky snake has unknowingly stopped traffic and people quickly pull out their phones and cameras to snap pics and film the dangerous creature. Thankfully, in India they are protected and anyone found guilty of killing one can be sentenced up to 6 years in prison, so no one would dare run it over so publicly!
But that doesn’t mean the snakes out of danger because nearby its fiercest enemy lurks. A mongoose spots the snake, sees dinner, and advances towards it with no hesitation. The two battle each other, with the snake striking multiple times and the fast mongoose dodging and weaving his way around the assault. It soon ends and the mongoose emerges as the victor, carrying his cobra off the road with him so he can eat it in privacy.
I would never have thought the mongoose would win, or even be so brave. I guess a little knowledge goes a long way, and hope you learned as much as I did.

He Was Feeling Something Strange Grab His Leg. He Looked Down and Saw THIS The UNTHINKABLE!
image via – youtube.com
A couple lucky tourists visiting the beach and sea had an awesome fortunate and surprising experience with an amazing wild sea otter on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada! The once in a lifetime chance rendezvous happened in the seas of Cadboro Bay on the southern tip of the island near the province’s capitol, Victoria, Canada.
The beach was pretty much empty except for a couple people who were happily snapping away, taking pictures of the beautiful picturesque bay, and filming some videos when a sea otter swam into view! Beachgoers naturally started filming the cute little sea mammal as he played around near the shore in his natural habitat.
Thankfully they did because they caught the moment when the curious otter decided to make friends with a man who was wading in the shallow, chilly Pacific waters nearby. The sea otter suddenly swam right up to him without any hesitation whatsoever and began to check him out up close and personal.
The adorable otter swam all around the guy, weaving in and around his lower legs and ankles. Before long he even appeared to be nuzzling the man, who reached down and gave the little guy a couple of friendly pats on the back.
The friendly mammal looked like he was loving the attention and acts just like an excited puppy dog would, he even gently nipped at the man’s leg as they played in the water. The whole encounter lasted just a few minutes before the otter decided he’d had enough and headed back out to sea.
Nevertheless, the brief time that the man and otter shared together definitely left a lasting impression on everyone who was there at the beach that day. The remarkably friendly otter was truly a sweetheart and what an amazing experience it must have been for everyone involved!
