This is a video highlighting the life of 6-year old sulcata tortoise Ethel, who already has the name of a 100-year old despite only being 7. I guess she’ll grow into it. Ethel is outgoing and loves butt rubs (technically rear carapice rubs) from neighbors while she’s out on walks.

Because nature is a trip, this is a video captured by SCUBA instructor Frida Yolotzin of a young rainbow tripod fish in the waters of Cozumel. After maturity, the fish relocates to the abyssal zone of the deep sea at depths of 0.5 – 3 miles, where it will be

This is a video from Mark Rober of his brief pet octopus Sashimi making her way through an increasingly difficult 9-part obstacle course/maze in order to reach the vault at its center, containing all her favorite shrimpy food. Octopuses not only have a central brain, but 2/3s of their neurons

Nature: it never ceases to amaze. This is a clip from the BBC’s ‘Life Story’ narrated by David Attenborough featuring the courtship practices of a flame bowerbird in Papua, New Guinea. Wow, it looks like a phoenix that’s risen from the ashes! How could you not be impressed? After first

Named for famed British naturalist and personal hero David Attenborough, this is a picture of Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus attenboroughi), snapped by a camera trap during an expedition in the Cyclops Mountains in Indonesia’s Papua Province. It is the first time since 1961 that scientists have managed to spot the

Tired of the same old cold cut sandwiches pilfered from picnic baskets, this is a video of Yogi Bear stealing a family’s $45 Uber Eats Taco Bell delivery from their front porch in Orlando, Florida. Was there a Mexican Pizza in that bag? I should certainly hope so! And two
