He got killed by the elephant.
Fair enough, I find it impossible to feel sorry for this man. How about all the elephants he had killed before ?
And what happened to the brave elephant ? I wonder.

So, cats are good for your health !
And there are many good reasons for that (11 at least, according to this article).
They are soothing, since they can be so quiet, and teach by example : we should takemore naps ! But their purring is also good for the human heart and blood pressure, and there are even therapy cats !
This five-year-old girl, Iris, was diagnosed with autism, and she has acquired better social skills since her new friend, Thula, has arrived :

Another beautiful Christmas advert
Each year before Christmas, the British department store John Lewis releases a lovely Christmas advert, which features a slow cover of a famous song and lots of lovely creatures, and, of course, present suggestions !
How many ideas for a present can you see in this one ?
This ad could be seen this year as early as November 6th.
Platypus or echidna, which is the strangest ??
… or the cutest ? Those two species look particularly weird… and it seems that they are hard to meet as well.
To be a wild life photographer or film maker, one certainly needs to be incredibly patient !
So, what’s your opinion ?
Halloween in the USA looks like great fun !
Imagine all the decorated houses, heaps of children running around all dressed up, some with their pets !
Oh ! I checked the song you can hear at the beginning of the video, it is quite an old one, but it is funny too !
These are both cute and hilarious !
Trick AND Treat :)
Max Ellis, a British photographer, is specialized in wildlife photography. This series of photographs brings out all the cuteness about Halloween ! Look at the fluffy tail of the squirrel on the right of the picture… It’s gorgeous ! The squirrel on the left looks like he’s wearing a mask, but there is a trick. Can you see it ?
This reminds us that Halloween is not just about scary gory costumes and stories, it’s also GREAT FUN !
Enjoy your Halloween day, and night… Happy Halloween everyone !

A female python gave birth without any prior male intervention
In Louisville, Kentucky, a female Python laid eggs two years ago. Among those, six were successfully incubated. Zookeepers initially thought that the female had had an encounter with a male python before she was taken in captivity. Since then, genetic analyses of the shedding skins of the mother and her offspring have revealed that she is the only parent to those babies. A phenomenon called parthenogenesis, which is quite rare, particularly with those big snakes.

Rare white deer killed by 11 year old boy
A rare albino (= white) deer was killed by a boy who was hunting with his father in a Michigan forest. They knew this exceptional animal was living in the area, and they had been dreaming of catching it, and killing it, to keep it as a trophy.
They were hunting only for the glory, not for the food. In this family, this is something to be proud of, so they have talked publicly about this, and they even say that they want to have the whole animal stuffed, as a souvenir.
Since then, the boy has received death threats, as a lot of people in America were disgusted by this practice.
Do you like hunting ? Would you kill a wild animal in its natural surroundings ?
Australian teenage girl bitten by a shark
Yesterday morning, Kirra-Belle Olsson, a thirteen-year-old surfer, was bitten by a shark while surfing with her friends (“mates”) off the New South Wales coast.
There are tons of photos of her leg and foot all over her (public) Facebook page.
She had some bad wounds, but it was taken care of, and now she really wants people to understand that the shark thought her feet was a fish, it wasn’t attacking her.
Two weeks before this incident, a surfer lost an arm while surfing in the area, as it was snatched by a shark.

It sounds like a beautiful dream
This song from the late 1960ies still sounds very fresh and awesome : The Octopus’s Garden, by the Beatles. It was written by Ringo, one of the 4 members of the band.
Ringo had the idea of writing this song while on summer vacation in Sardinia in 1968. He had eaten squid (=octopus) for the first time, and the captain of the boat explained to him that octopuses collect stones and objects to arrange them neatly on the seabed, kind of like a garden.
I’m glad you enjoyed it !
PS : I wonder if the famous cartoon series Sponge Bob is not inspired from this song…
