Here’s How Your Donations Helped A Struggling Animal Shelter Rebuild After Hurricane Delta

Fighting Monarch Caterpillars May Show Us How To Save The Species
Monarch butterflies are as beautiful as they are delicate. Before reaching that stage, however, they begin as ravenous brutes, willing to chew anything and everything in their way. Before metamorphosizing into their final form, monarch butterfly caterpillars allow absolutely nothing to get between themselves and food, not even other caterpillars. According to the New York Times, when two caterpillars find themselves fighting over the same source of food they become tiny terrors. They will attempt to bump, tackle or push the other away....

Man Discovers 120-Year-Old Time Capsule With Photos Of A Little Girl’s Pets
Time capsules are an interesting thing. I remember when I was about seven years old, my school dug up a time capsule for their thirtieth anniversary. It didn’t contain much, it was just a small box with pencils and erasers from the 1960s when the school was founded. But there are some people who like to bury little time capsules in their homes as a memory for others to find in the future. These usually contain very personal items and memories that give us a glimpse into the past. Personally, I think it would be fascinating to find a...
Man Gets Fined $1000 For Killing Seagull With His Walking Stick
Seagulls. I’ve heard them described as rats with wings. And if you live in UK or Ireland, you definitely get that. Seagulls in this part of the world are vicious little bullies who will snatch food right out from under you.

Of course, this kind of annoying behavior is very common amongst seagulls. While it’s bothersome, it’s still no need to take your rage out on the birds. However, in...

Man ‘Draws’ Figures With Pigeons By Strategically Feeding Them
Art takes on many forms. But who would have ever thought that art could be created with the help of some pigeons? When we think of pigeons, we probably think about those large flocks of pigeons mulling about in parks and city squares pecking at bits of food on the ground that people have dropped. Or the large swarms of pigeons that gather around someone who is brave enough to feed them. But one man has done the impossible and has actually come up with a pretty cool concept. He has harnessed the power of the pigeon’s appetite in order to...
