Because Halloween is time for smashing pumpkins (Billy Corgan, let’s ride!), this is a video of hippos at the Cincinnati Zoo chomping pumpkins whole. There’s also some footage of painted dogs (aka African wild dogs, not dogs that have been painted — playing poker or otherwise) enjoying some pumpkin fun.

These are several videos highlighting Norway’s Preikestolen (aka Pulpit Rock), a naturally formed granite overhang with a sheer drop of 604-meters (1,982 feet).
