Captured by nature photographer Fernando Maidana, this is a video of a capybara (a giant rodent, like my previous roommate turned out to be) smoothly running across the bottom of a river at the Recanto Ecológico Rio da Prata in Jardim in Brazil. I assume it opted for the underwater

Because magic is everywhere, these are a couple videos of Japanese Youtuber Hoshizora Camping (turn captions on to follow along) constructing a ring to place around a metal secondary combustion stove that produces fire tornadoes with “woven” flames.

This is a video of Steve the otter slipping under a fake rock and taking it for a trip in the water until he gets stuck under a tree branch and has to abandon his mobile hiding spot. So I guess Steve was a rock for Halloween this year. That’s
