10 Most Amazing Animal Stories You’ll Love

Everybody love animals.  They are some of our best and most loyal companions throughout our lives.  If you love animals like we do, what better than some amazing animal stories.  So, here are some of the most Amazing Animal Stories we could find.

Amazing Animal Stories

Bobbie, a Scotch Collie/English Shepard mix was given the name “The Wonder Dog” after walking from Indiana to Oregon. That’s 2,550 miles (4,100km), across the United States. He had originally made the journey with his family but became lost in Indiana. After a long search, the family gave up and returned to their home in Silverton Oregon. Six months later Bobbie, now weak, skinny and with paws worn to the bone, appeared on their doorstep.

News of Bobbie’s epic journey across mountains, deserts, and plains spread across the country. All types of media, including film, newspaper articles, and books featured him. Sadly, in 1927, at the age of six, Bobbie died. He is now buried in the Oregon Humane Society’s pet cemetery in Portland.

2. Shrek

Shrek, a male Merino sheep was born near Tarras, New Zealand. One day Shrek decided to wander off his farm to live in the highlands of the area. Finally, after living off the land for six years, a high country ranch team found Shrek. For six whole years, Shrek had avoided being sheared. While most male Merinos are sheared on an annual basis.

Shrek was 75% covered in wool, with the total weight of his coat being a staggering 60lb (27kg). It was due to this large size and his playful personality he was named after the animated ogre. Shrek quickly became a national icon. His shearing was broadcasted on live TV. On top of that, his enormous fleece was auctioned off for charity and he ended up raising over $150,000. Unfortunately, Shrek was euthanised on June 6, 2011, at the age of 17.

3. Unsinkable Sam

Amazing Animal Stories

Sam the cat survived the sinking of one of the largest battleships in the German Navy, The Bismark. After surviving the sinking, in which 2200 sailors died, Sam was adopted by the HMS Cossack, which was promptly sunk by a German U-boat. Following this second sinking, in which 153 sailors died, Sam moved to the HMS Ark Royal, which was also torpedoed sinking the ship and the crew. However, Sam still survived and went on to two other ships the HMS Lightning and HMS Legion which both were sunk.

4. Heidi

Unfortunately, Lonesome George died young for his species, around 100, while the average age is approximately 200 years old.

6. Cher AmiAmazing Animal Stories

His name meaning “Dear Friend” was earned when he delivered a vital message that saved U.S. Army Captain Charles Whittlesey and his battalion in 1913. He flew the 25 miles back to headquarters despite being shot in the chest and losing his leg. Cher Ami became the hero of the 77th division. Going on to became the mascot of the U.S. Department of Service until he died on June 13, 1919, from the wounds he received in battle.

7. Ham the Chimp

Amazing Animal Stories

Ham the Chimp, named after the Holloman Aerospace Medical Centre was the first primate in space. He was chosen to be launched into orbit in the Mercury capsule. On January 31, 1961, he managed to travel 155 miles (250km) in 16 minutes. The mission was aborted due to a problem with the oxygen supply, and Ham was recovered about three hours after he landed. Fortunately, he went on to live in the National Zoo in Washington DC for the next 17 years.

8. Laika

Amazing Animal Stories

Laika, the Dog was the first canine in space. Launched in the ill-fated Sputnik 2, Laika perished just six hours into the flight. She reportedly died of excess heat due to the lack of a heat shield in the primitive spacecraft. Laika has been memorialized in Star City, Russia where a plaque and statue are dedicated to her.

9. Marjan

Amazing Animal Stories

Marjan the one-eyed lion was brutally injured by a person who threw hand grenades into his cage in Kabul. The attack left Marjan permanently disabled, deaf and blind. Marjan died in January 2002 and was given a public ceremony. He is buried on zoo grounds with his grave reading: “Here lies Marjan, who was about 23. He was the most famous lion in the world.”

10. Punxsutawney Phil 

Punxsutawney Phil is one of the world’s most famous rodents.

The most famous groundhog in the world, Punxsutawney Phil (also known by his full name, “Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Sage of Sages, Prognosticator of Prognosticators and Weather Prophet Extraordinary”) has been predicting the weather in Gobbler’s Knob since February 2, 1886. Incredibly, some people believe that he’s still the same groundhog today. As these animals have an average lifespan of only ten years, he would have to live on regular doses of elixir along with the love of his good wife, Phyllis, to keep him going all this time. A mysterious group called the Inner Circle looks after him, and wear top hats and tuxedos to the prediction ceremony. The prognosticating groundhog is thought to derive from a German tradition that if the sun comes out on Candlemas and the hedgehog sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter will follow.

We hope you like these Amazing Animal Stories as much as we did!

10 Canada’s Most Dangerous Wild Animals

For approximately 9.9 million sq. km., Canada is well known for its mesmerizing landscape with millions of people and wildlife array. Nevertheless, some of the animals found in the country are not human-friendly. These animals are observed to be hazardous including the bears (grizzly, polar, black), moose, prairie rattlesnake, and a lot more.

Below are Canada’s most dangerous wild animals:

1. Moose

Canada most dangerous wild animals

Moose is one of the hugest species which are included in the family of deer. The lifespan of these species is approximately up to 15-25 yrs. They are mostly found in ranges of western on wooded hillside area and in the forest that has a lot of rock usually in the area of lakes stream. Moose usually attack when they are disturbed. These species are considered hazardous to motorist because they can strike the vehicles as it crosses the road. Once they startled, these species tend to charge. The male moose usually weighs 700kg. The collision might be very hazardous and massive if it will be hit by a motorist.

2. Black Widow Spider

Canada most dangerous wild animals
In Canada, black widow spider is not a typical species, even though these spiders are found in the border of US and Canada usually in some region (southern). This type of spider is often found underneath the rocks, in fallen trees when outside, and sheds. On black widow spiders’ lower stomach, a red hourglass is found. Black widow spider is not violent, however, to protect themselves, they will bite you when they are irritated.

3. Prairie rattlesnake

Canada Most Dangerous Wild Animals
In Southwestern Canada mainly in Alberta province, one of the most poisonous snakes can be found which is the Prairie rattlesnake. It usually targets reptiles, ground birds who are nesting, small mammals and some amphibians. For them to kill, they hunt the prey immediately by injecting its poisonous venom. Normally, this type of snake doesn’t typically attack; however, they can bite when stepped unintentionally or when disturbed.

4. Cougar

Canada Most Dangerous Wild Animals
Next to jaguar, the cougar is the 2nd heaviest cat worldwide. It has a muscular body with long tail and big paws. Cougars usually stay in dark forest and the rocky mountains. For a cougar to kill, they usually bite their prey in the neck. Humans are not considered by cougars as prey, so they rarely attack people. In some instances, during cougar’s extreme starvation, they can attack humans and extremely hazardous. They mostly attack during summer and spring and some cougars at a very young age are finding prey by themselves when they are left alone.

5. Polar Bear

Canada Most Dangerous Wild Animals
Because of the climate change, polar bears’ habitat which is arctic are continuously diminishing. Polar bears are now tagged as defenseless species due to habitat loss. They usually attack fatally and most of the time for reasons of predatory. Human attacks are seen in minimal since the population of human in Arctic Circle are quite a few. There is seldom interaction between polar bears and humans since polar bears might fearlessly attack or might eat people. Don’t worry, polar bears are harmless unless provoked.

6. Grizzly Bear

Canada Most Dangerous Wild Animals
Native in North America, a grizzly bear is a huge species under the category of brown bear. This type of bear is more violent compared to black bears. Considering the grizzly bears’ biting force, they are considered hazardous. Mother grizzlies who defend their child are the most observed attack. Since adult grizzlies can’t climb the trees anymore, they tend to defend themselves by facing the attacker face-to-face. Even they have a superior advantage physically, these species avoid interaction with a human. They usually attack when they are surprised or disturbed.

7. Black Bear

Canada Most Dangerous Wild Animals

The smallest type in bear’s family is known as the black bear which is mainly seen in Canada. They usually live in forests and they are the feeder of both plant and animals (omnivorous). Due to its large population globally, it is listed to have the least concern on behalf of all species. Black has the capacity to kill people even though they usually avoid interaction with humans. Compared to all types of bear, black bear usually runaway instead of attacking when disturbed or provoked. Starvation and food are the main reason for these bears to attack. Last 1978 in Algonquin Park, Canada, the killing of three people who were fishing was the worst fatal attack of the black bear.

8. The Massasauga rattlesnake

Canada Most Dangerous Wild Animals

In Ontario Canada, the massasauga rattlesnake can be found. This snake can destroy tissues because it has cytotoxic poison. It also contains a digestive enzyme that prevents the blood clot. Good thing that these species avoid interaction with human as much as possible. Those snakebites that are seen in Ontario is due to accidentally handled or stepped on and yes, these attacks are highly preventable.

9. Wolf

Canada Most Dangerous Wild Animals

In the family of dog, the wolf, a wild animal, is considered to be the largest. These species attack the livestock when there is scarcity in wildlife. The prey of wolves are not human and their response would depend on wolves’ previous experience. When disturbed, they aggressively bite their preys. Attacked on humans are rarely observed. It only happens when they are not frightened anymore to the one they’ve gotten and have lived in. For it not to happen again, the wolf is being killed to avoid any similar incident.

10. Coyote

Canada Most Dangerous Wild Animals
A canid which is native in America is the coyote. Compared to the gray wolf, the coyote is a bit smaller but both can be found in same environment location. Since their size is small, human attacks are rare. However, coyotes usually target little children once they attack. Nowadays, in city areas, these species can provoke and chase people who normally jog and walk with their pets (dog).

As a realization from the list above, those dangerous species are calm indeed but become hazardous when disturbed or provoked. The only reason these animals attack human is when they are starved, or they can’t find any preys that suit them. Therefore, confronting with these Canada’s most dangerous wild animals is never advisable.

10 Common Lies of Women in Relationships

There are times that lying is necessary especially if it means protecting someone else’s feelings or saving themselves. It doesn’t matter whether it is a white lie or a total deceit, being untruthful in between couples is definitely a detrimental factor that will affect their relationship. Both have the capability to lie towards their other half, for whatever the reason is, it may not be the same.

Here are the 10 common lies of women in relationships:

1. Number of people she’s been with in bed

Common Lies of Women

It is more likely that both of you had several sexual partners. Despite knowing that this is true, you would feel uncomfortable at the marks of those numbers. That is why she may lie regarding sexual history if questioned. Naturally, accepting each other’s past is necessary, and if someone’s going to judge you based on those numbers, then it’s time to go on separate ways.

2. Social Media Life

Common Lies of Women
Is your social media feed usually consists of happy couples, unforgettable weddings and the vacation that you’re yearning? If yes, you’re not the only one. In this world where every event is updated and rampant cyber-gloating, it’s not surprising if your small-scale accomplishments wan in comparison. Besides, a picture of that laughing baby covered with spaghetti has nothing to do with the advancement of your career.

3.”I’m Fine” but she meant it the other way around

Common Lies of Women
“Nothing’s wrong, I’m fine.” This is according to one survey in Daily Mail Australia that researchers have found to be on top of the list. Anybody who has heard those words usually doesn’t ponder much that it is a punishable offense, however, it is still a lie. Unlike in a platonic relationship with your co-workers, a white lie is unacceptable in romantic relationships. When she tells her other half that she is fine and yet her mind is bothered by something, she would end up feeling detached or irritated.

4. Her pricey expenses

Common Lies of Women
No matter who earns more, money is always a part of an issue. It is possible that women are tempted to hide the truth on how much is the real cost of her new clothes, her expensive perfume collection or buying the most expensive chocolates in the world. When the topic is about money, always be true.

5. Telling the significant other “You’re the Best I Ever Had.”

Common Lies of Women
Pleasing each other on bed is normal for both of you. And living with your meant-to-be partner is wonderful. But the fact is, it doesn’t necessarily mean that both of you will be the best to one another. A woman informed CafeMom that she is untruthful with her husband when she said that she had experienced the greatest sex ever with him. But sincerely, will it make things really better if you tell the whole truth in a situation like this? In cases like this, it’s fine to tell a little white lie.

6. Fantasizing somebody else

Common Lies of Women
The same point above, what else is there to gain in telling fantasies (not involving one another) in the midst of sensual moment? According to Women’s Health, there’s a possibility that ladies fantasize another person during the act.

So, before you get emotionally upset, nevertheless, always remember that neither you or your partner can control your own thoughts.

7. Reaching the climax

Common Lies of Women
There are instances that women faked their orgasm once or several times. Whatever reason may be, it’s a lie. Either she wanted to get over with, or maybe she knew that it’s not happening this time. In any case, it is possible. In Men’s Health, according to them, 48% of female have faked their orgasm.

8. Never had fooled around in her circle of friends

Common Lies of Women

Everyone has a good set of friends, both woman and man who have been with them for a long time. That is why it’s possible that a woman dated one friend of hers. Right before jealousy sets in, she will lie about it. A friendship that’s important for her, though, the Thought Catalog says that there’s a good incident she’ll keep those dark little secrets in the past to herself only.

9. She’s not that into with her ex-lover

Common Lies of Women
Anybody who had spent so much time to another person surely has feelings towards them, even though there’s none at all. According to the author of Deep Dark Secrets, Little White Lies Susan Shapiro Barash mentioned in Men’s Fitness that she might lie to protect her partner’s feelings, to make herself look like a good girl or to show that she wasn’t really searching endlessly for the right partner.

10. Birth Control

Common Lies of Women
2,000 women were asked on a survey about the lies they heard or told, landing on top is “I’m on birth control” which is the most profound fib. Regardless of anything else, being truthful about your sexual relationship is very important. The chances of unwanted pregnancy are not cool at all.
