This is a short video of barrel racer Mikayla Murphy’s horse Ginger laying eyes on a zebra for the first time. It looks shocked. Love at first sight? That’s my guess, but I’m also a terrible guesser and haven’t even come close to hitting the lotto yet. Like, not even
This is a clip from BBC Earth and my main man knight Sir David Attenborough highlighting the web-slinging capabilities of Darwin’s bark spider. The spider is capable of blasting a continuous fan of webbing that catches the wind like a sail and can cross a body of water up to

Spotted by a submersible remote operated vehicle (ROV) launched from the EV Nautilus about 500 nautical miles northwest of Oʻahu, Hawaii, this is a video of a recently discovered Casper octopus. The octopus was found “walking” along the seafloor at a depth of about 2,300m (7,575-feet, ~1.4-miles), with a body
Because Mother Nature never ceases to amaze (I once saw her ride a mechanical bull upside down waving her legs like arms), this is a timelapse video of a stick insect molting its old skin. It’s so crazy to think this is the process that evolution developed over tens of
