This is a very short video of a giraffe demonstrating its technique for reaching ground-level food. In this case, grass. You know I’ve eaten my fair share of grass before, and I honestly don’t see what all these animals like it so much. It doesn’t even taste good and just

This is a cell phone video from Utah man and Youtuber KunKyle z of a six minute encounter he had with a mountain lion (cougar) after stumbling across some of her cubs on a trail and her deciding the offense may be punishable by death, or at least a good

This is a Nest doorbell cam video from the Maryland home of Betsy Mahaffey See, who received a phone notification in the night that somebody was detected at the door. I like how the mantis nibbles on its foot a little bit before providing a closeup of its abdomen, that

This is a short video of chemistry educator Phil Cook demonstrating both the hydrophobic and combustible properties of lycopodium spores. Lycopodium spores are the dried spores of clubmoss plants (aka ground pine), and have long been used for theatrical special effects (in the form of dust explosions) due to their
