Wolverine Digs Out And Rescues Man Trapped By Avalanche

Jan 082013

Wolverines have a bad reputation as being violent beasts, most likely as a result of being associated with Wolverine the X-Man. Of course they are wild animals, but wolverines are actually fantastic search and rescue animals, as portrayed by Jasper the wolverine.

To demonstrate this helpful characteristic, Casey was covered in a snow to mimic a body trapped under an avalanche. Amazingly, Jasper quickly digs Casey out and drags him out of the snow to safety.

The Natationl Geographic Wild video is actually 10 months old, but has started to trend recently, appearing on BestOfYouTube, IAmBored, and VideoSift.

Jan 062013

Photographer Gordon Buchanan traveled to the Arctic to document a polar bear family for the BBC2‘s upcoming special, My Polar Bear Family and Me.

While in a special protective cage similar in concept to an above ground shark cage, a very hungry polar bear caught a whiff of his scent.

Though she never ended up breaking into the ‘ice cube,’ her vicious 45 minute attempt “was one of the most terrifying things that I’ve ever done,” reports the Scottish artist.
