Created by photographer Brett Foxwell of bfophoto using 12,000 leaves he collected and pressed, this is a stop motion animation of a leaf morphing shape and color over the course of two and a half minutes. Organizing all those leaf photos into a fluid animation must have been quite the

On a recent visit to South Africa’s Monkeyland sanctuary, Lisa Bosman and family had to duck under a swinging gibbon as it made its way along a rope bridge. That must have been quite the experience. But more importantly, did you see the buns on that ape?! Those are the

These are several videos of a sugar glider named Titan Bool leaping from heights to glide and land on his owner’s hand. For those of you unfamiliar, sugar gliders are small gliding marsupials native to Australia, and can glide like flying squirrels (which are rodents and not related, but an

Realizing maybe there’s some truth to the age-old idiom strength in numbers (and horned tonnage), this is a video of a deer running into the middle of a herd of bison to avoid a coyote in Yellowstone National Park. That’s smart. Even smarter? Dressing up like a coyote so it
