Animals are Magical

Sadly, cannot see these, keeps asking for a phone number, n/a. Ah well…

I wish there was a way for you to see them, avid. I've experienced a similar situation on the meme thread with some posts. What I did was paste the address (post) to Foxfire and it'd work.

I use to download the animal gifs and reupload to imgur.com. Then I'd wait for them to upload only to find that about 30% wouldn't take. The worst part was the sound never came through on any of them. Sometimes, I'd search YouTube for a copy, but after while I got burnt out with the time factor and too many steps.

I've been wishing there was a way to embed short videos of animals from Facebook Reels.
Some of them are so delightful, but it doesn't look like FB will allow them to be shared here.

Black fluffy coat and big round eyes...
A bear? Or a cat?

It's a black panther!

She was abandoned by her own mother at a zoo in Siberia.

Victoria who had an experience in raising a big cat took her in and named her Luna. Luna grew up with Victoria's love.

Then Luna met a Rottweiler Venza. Venza thought she was her own child and started taking care of her gently.

Just like a dog & a cat, their bond have been built and their friendship has been dynamic.

Peek-a-boo, avid.

During the winter season, moose shed their antlers before regrowing them in the spring. The shedding process, also known as casting, is a normal event that occurs annually for many male cervids—a group of hoofed mammals like moose, deer and elk.

Bald eagle nests are generally 5 feet wide and 3 feet deep. The largest recorded bald eagle nest is 9.5 feet in diameter, 20 feet deep and weighed almost 6,000 pounds! To get an idea of just how big an average eagle nest is check out this to scale replica nest, at Hueston Woods State Park in Ohio.

Nature produces some unusual and fascinating characters:

'The longest deep sea fish in the world or the Herring king вий

This long, flat fish that dwells in the depths of three oceans—the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic—is sometimes mistaken for a sea snake. And it's not surprising - the herring king (lat. Regalecus glesne) can grow in length up to 12.5 meters and weigh about 270 kilograms❗️

Another name for this herring is belt fish 😎 Its torso is so thin (about 5 centimeters at 3.5 meters long) that it looks like a giant belt floating in water.
The herring king is the longest living fish in the world, it is confirmed in the Guinness Book of Records 👆
To swim slowly in salt water, the herring king enjoys the light movements of a back swimmer. If need speed higher his whole long body starts doing wave like motions 😉
Despite its formidable appearance, this fish is safe for humans. First of all, because at depths of 200 to 1000 m. , where she lives, people meet very rarely and contact with them is unlikely. Besides, the herring has no visible teeth and its main food is zooplankton and small crayfish о
The belt fish is said to be a harbinger of earthquakes and tsunami, and its appearance is considered a terrible sign in many cultures of the world❗️'

United States Navy SEAL trainees display a 23-foot (7 m) giant oarfish discovered by their instructor on the beach of Naval Amphibious Base Coronado in 1996. Other common names include Pacific oarfish, king of herrings, ribbonfish, and streamer fish.

Mongolian nomads’ ultimate dilemma | SLICE I Full documentary--Dec 25, 2022
Nomads in Mongolia have always had an intimate relationship with wolves, and travelled with the wild canines. But as the Mongolian economy has boomed drastically, a dilemma is imposed upon the nomads; maintain their relationships with nature, or cave in to the overwhelming force of the economy.

Faced with the conundrum is a shepherd Purevjav. Wolves have been killing his livestock to feed themselves, and Purevjav is well aware of the value the wolves’ pelts hold if exported. To sustain his family, Purevjav is pressed to hunt the pack of wolves he considers sacred.

The Flemish Giant rabbit is the largest breed of domestic rabbit. Flemish Giants are historically a utility breed used for their fur and meat. They are often kept as pets as they are known for being docile and patient when being handled.

The Eurasian eagle owl is among the world's largest species of owl, ranging from 23 to 28 inches( 58-71 cm) in body length with a wingspan of 5 to 6.6 feet (1.5- 2 m). It is also known for its large orange eyes and prominent ear tufts.

Why is the Eurasian eagle owl called an eagle owl?
The Eagle Owl's scientific name comes from its deep booming call.

These birds can make terrible “pets”! Owls, certainly the larger ones such as the European Eagle Owl, can be very dangerous animals. Inexperienced owners often keep these birds in totally inappropriate conditions. In the wild, the European Eagle Owl is capable of killing a fox by crushing its skull with its feet.
