... The video then shows the moose close up as he reaches his nose over the fence so his rescuer can pet his face. When someone else tries to pet him, the moose backs up and turns his antlers toward them.
“Oh, I didn’t help. I’m sorry,” that person says to the moose.
So Canadian.

I am sooo jealous.

Sounds like she was feeding them over a decade ago and got away with it. I wonder if she persisted.

Cool. The last thing prey ever sees.
, the hawk stayed low and did a lap with the dog on his heels before he thought it might be time for elevation. 
Maybe my life would be less of a mess if I hadn't murdered all of my house mice? 
That's my guess, and that her dog has better reflexes than she had, something else that she and her family should have known. I'd love to sit on that jury, if the judge even lets it get that far.
You gotta love the headlines
Saw that in the article I linked. I don't believe there was only the one option for dog walking. Plus, it would have been a hazard known to her and the family. Why no action to resolve the supposed issue over the decades?billy.pilgrim wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 1:38 amYou gotta love the headlines

Mr Whitman then snatches the snake and hurls it across the lawn, after which it slithers away.
“To be honest, I only grabbed it because it was in Rosie’s hands. I was like, ‘if a 12 year-old, my daughter, can hold it, so can I,’” he told 9News.
“I just had to jump in. It was just instinct, to try and get rid of the danger. It was an absolutely insane moment,” he added.
“I chased after it and watched it slither away unhurt, although a little dizzy.”
... Rosie said she was not “scared” or “fazed” by the incident, adding she would do anything to protect her beloved Maxibon.
“It was pretty full on though,” she said of the ordeal.
Her “terrified but proud ” parents, however, warned their daughter against taking matters into her own hands should she have a similar encounter in the future.
“We’re so grateful you’re fine but next time, step away. We’ll buy you two more pigs,’” Mrs Whitman told the 12-year-old.

A lone Toronto raccoon was able to cut power to nearly 7,000 people in the city’s downtown core on Thursday night, highlighting the fraught coexistence between residents of Canada’s largest urban centre and the divisive “trash pandas”.
Awww.... A day after it plunged the city into darkness, it is also unclear if the raccoon, whose death is still unconfirmed, will be granted a candle-lit sidewalk vigil, the city’s unsanctioned process of mourning deceased critters.
How about Amazonia? 
Way cool, but I immediately thought of one thing. "Great" minds? Third top comment:New anaconda species said to be largest ever found during filming of Will Smith docuseries
Northern green anaconda on a riverbank.
A giant anaconda species thought to be the largest in the world has been captured deep in the Amazon of Ecuador by a team of scientists from The University of Queensland.
The group of scientists, led by professor Bryan Fry, uncovered the nearly 10 million-year-old species with help from the indigenous Huaorani people while filming "Pole to Pole with Will Smith," a National Geographic series streaming on Disney+ and hosted by the Oscar winner.
“The size of these magnificent creatures was incredible," Fry said in a news release. "One female anaconda we encountered measured an astounding 6.3 meters (20.8 feet) long."...

“There are anecdotal reports from the Huaorani people of other anacondas in the area measuring more than 7.5 meters long (24.6 feet) and weighing around 500 kilograms (1,102 pounds)," Fry said, sharing with USA TODAY that Chief Baihua's son, Marcelo Tepeña Baihua, has scars from a snake about that size.
"The scars were clearly from a truly massive snake. They say that one wasn’t even the biggest they’ve ever seen," Fry said. "So its clear that the snakes in the Huaorani lands are indeed the biggest of all anacondas."...
I came looking for references to Will Smith daring to slap one of these things and I was not disappointed.Keep my wife's head out your mouth!Mess with my wife and I will smith you.
