Drone Captures Stunning Shot Of Flamingo Flock In Kazakhstan
When it comes to the animal kingdom, flamingos have some of the most amazing plumage that you are ever going to see.

And together, in huge flocks, they’re that much more stunning. One photographer was able to capture a shot of such a flock with the help of a drone.

Dog Gets ‘Arrested’ For Running Away From Home
I think all of us have experienced the pain and stress of having a dog run away from home. It happened recently in the village of Ziegenbach, Germany, when a little dog got away from his owners and went on a journey. Although the dog was on his own as he traveled about the area, he did run into some new friends on bicycles and he got a little TLC before he moved on. As it turns out, those cyclists had an ulterior motive for being so kind. They ended up calling the cops. On the Mittelfranken police Facebook page, officers posted information...

Squirrel Accidentally Gets Drunk Eating Fermented Fruit
