The cheetah has long been known as the world’s fastest land animal, but few understand just how incredible the cat must be to hold such an impressive title.
The average cheetah can accelerate to 75 MPH in just three seconds, the time it takes for just three strides. Every part of the cheetah is built for speed, from its light weight body to its flat head.
The big cat runs so fast, its legs spend more time in the air than on the ground.
Brad set up his trusty GoPro camera against a rock with a rubber band where he thought he would capture the most bear action. He couldn’t have asked for better footage.
In the video, an older mother walks by followed by a curious three year old cub. The cub proceeds to nearly eat the GoPro camera, but amazingly, there was no damage to the equipment.
Tasos Andreopoulos published this video last September, but it has only exploded over the past week, amassing over 425,000 views.
In the short video, the Human Chainsawdemonstrates how he got his name. The man bends over, cranks his invisible chainsaw a couple times, and then cuts down a branch, all with nothing actually in his hands.
There’s no question that plastic bottles are a huge environmental issue. But many people don’t realize just how serious the situation is.
In Australia, for example, birds are starving to death. Not because there isn’t plenty of fresh food for them, but rather because of the plastic bottles that have littered the coastline and peppered the beaches.
The birds often confuse the bits of plastic with real food, and after a while, they literally starve to death with a belly fun of plastic.
Environmental group Greenpeace Australia wants to curb this serious matter by enacting a 10 cent recycling refund scheme found in countless other Western countries.
They claim the program has been proven to stimulate recycling, as a similar program in South Australia has been in effect for 30 years, “saving tens of millions of plastic containers from ending up in our beaches and oceans.”
But soft drink behemoth Coca-Cola has just won a court case stopping the recycling scheme from becoming law.
Norman Dreger was taking a nice day on the lake when he caught a beautiful Dolly Varden Char. He quickly grabbed his camera to record his triumphant catch, but then something incredible happened.
An American Bald Eagle swooped down and stole the char right off his fishing line. Norman posted the short yet amazing video over last weekend, and now it has garnered over one million views.
