Student Finds A Giant Huntsman Spider And Hundreds Of Babies Swarming Her Oven
Australia is notorious for being the home to all sorts of interesting creatures. From glowing marsupials to dinner-plate-sized spiders, it’s enough to get you either really excited or keep you far from the place. Recently though, one student experienced a moment that’ll make you glad you don’t live in Australia (or terrified if you do?). Imogen Moore walked into her kitchen like any other day, but what she stumbled upon was far from ordinary. It was a scene straight from a nightmare. A giant mother huntsman spider and...

After Years Of Brave Service, Former Military K-9 Flown 4,000 Miles To Reunite With Her Handler
Like most military K-9s, 5-year-old detection dog Bogi played a key role in fighting crime by helping her trainer and handler, Marine Sgt. Angela Cardone, sniff out drugs. But their working partnership was cut short when Cardone was reposted to Hawaii. Then Bogi suffered another setback when she broke a bone in her neck, leaving the Belgian Malinois unable to work, wear a collar, and essentially ending the brave dog’s military career.

Community Rushes To Save Thousands Of Stunned Sea Turtles In Texas After Winter Storm
Residents of South Padre Island, Texas, are coming together to help save stunned sea turtles after a brutal winter storm hit the area. The deadly storm brought below-freezing temperatures, snow, ice, and power outages. As the water temperature dropped below 50 degrees, the endangered sea turtles started to float to the surface unable to move or swim. This phenomenon is known as cold-stunning. If the turtles are not rescued or returned to warm water, they will become sick and die. Photo: Facebook/Sea Turtle, Inc “Cold stunning may lead...
Cat Dies After Saving Family Members From Deadly Snake Bite
Family pets are just that — part of the family. The love shared, and bonds made, between them and their family members are treasured, valued, and irreplaceable. The variety of birds, cats, dogs, hamsters, hermit crabs, and more that I visited when I saw family definitely converted me into an animal lover at an early age! That closeness that many of us feel with the animal kingdom does, however, come at a cost. Sadly, it is often in the most tragic circumstances that we see just how much our pets mean to us, and how much we mean to them....
Koala Rescued After A 5-Car Pileup On Australian Freeway
Australia, for those that have never visited, can seem like an almost mythical place – Christmas in the summer, the fictional “drop bear” invented to scare tourists, and the many real-life, strange animals that call it home can all lead outsiders to never know exactly what news reports to believe about the land down under. It’s no surprise, then, that many social media users jumped to conclusions after reports of a five car pileup on a busy Adelaide freeway. The crash, some believed, was caused not by a runaway...
Mom Finds A Giant Spider Guarding An Egg Sac Inside Her Son’s Toy Truck
If you happen to be somebody who is afraid of spiders, then this story is going to give you the willies.

This story is out of Western Australia, where we are accustomed to hearing about strange creatures that roam about in the countryside. As it turns out, there are also some spiders that are rather large in the area and Brooke Thorpe managed to find one. The spider was in her son’s toy truck and was guarding an egg sac with hundreds...
Owner Makes A Custom Sled For His Senior Dog So He Can Go Anywhere His Human Goes
If there is one thing we know about dogs, it’s the fact that we love it when they go places with us. It doesn’t matter if we are going around the block or across the country, having our dog by our side is the only way to travel. For some people, a quick ride in the car is about as far as they will venture with their, pooch but for others, they may reach for the stars. That is the case with a man from Calgary named Donny Marchuk. He has always enjoyed hiking and running with his golden retriever, Sully. Photo: Instagram...
Late Dog Owner’s Will Leaves $5 Million To His Beloved Border Collie
Border Collie Lulu is a very good girl. So good, in fact, that Lulu’s recently departed owner left the 8-year-old dog $5 million in his will. When Lulu’s 84-year-old owner, Bill Dorris, passed away, officials found a very surprising clause in the late Nashville man’s estate. Rather than donate to charity or a long-lost family member, the late businessman just left everything to his dog. According to WTVF, Dorris was determined his beloved dog wouldn’t want for anything else for the rest of her life. Photo:...
Rescue Dog Reunited With Owner After Saving His Life
Several months ago, Brian Myers adopted a 6-year-old German shepherd named Sadie from the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge in Oakland, New Jersey. Sadie was a sweet dog, but like many shelter dogs, she came with her baggage. The shelter staff noted that she seemed to display a lot of anxiety and trust issues towards men, but surprisingly, she seemed to take a liking to Myers. Myers was determined to get through to her and help her overcome all her issues. And that is how their friendship began. Eventually, Sadie would be able to repay Myers for...
