[onescreen item="5029987"] We don’t know what’s gotten into these guys. Maybe some of them just aren’t cut out for life on the farm. And it’s not just pigs, who have a well-earned reputation for being rather unmannerly. Goats, horses, chickens, you name it—being polite gets tossed right out the window when there’s a bag of [...]

Watch These Animals Sneezing Up a Storm — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:00:31 +0000

[onescreen item="5025322"] It can be hard to tell what an animal’s thinking when it sneezes. Sometimes, they seem utterly terrified, though in those cases it could be the first time they’ve ever sneezed, in which case we can understand the fear. We also like their complete lack of self-consciousness. When a human sneezes more than [...]

Drew Weisholtz — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 19:35:17 +0000

A dog’s bark may be worse than its bite, but the same can’t be said for its aim. A dog in Sebring, Florida somehow shot its owner in the leg with the owner’s gun last weekend. Man’s best friend? Sure doesn’t sound like it. It seems the victim, identified as 35-year-old Gregory Lanier, was driving [...]

Mike Adams — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 20:00:56 +0000

You probably didn’t know this (and if you did, you're kind of gross maybe) but unlike many other reptiles and mammals, alligators crawl around all day with a fully erect pecker tucked inside their body, which engages like a sexual switchblade (great band name) when it comes time for some of that good old Louisiana swamp lovin’.

The Adorable "War Cry" of the Namaqua Rain Frog

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 15:00:53 +0000

Supposedly this is the war cry of the Namaqua Rain Frog, but honestly, it’s not very intimidating. It seems to be more of a “cry for help” cry, the kind you make when things are about to turn ugly. Then again, we don’t know how anything could be as ugly as this frog… This squeaking [...]

[onescreen item="5008450"] Never heard of a pygmy jerboa? It’s kind of like a kangaroo. A very, very, very, very small kangaroo.
