Fluffy bears use frozen pond as giant popsicle
Fluffy bears use frozen pond as giant popsicle

Adorable Syrian brown bears were recently seen making the most of a frozen pond in their enclosure at an animal sanctuary in Otisville, New York, with one bear lazily licking the icy surface. Footage from Orphaned Wildlife Center shows two bears, Jenny and Amy, enjoying the ice. While Jenny chose to lie on top of the ice, pawing and licking it, Amy took a surprisingly stable stroll. The center wrote, for “those of you wondering, bears rarely have any trouble with cold … they love the cold, as you can see here.” Founded by Jim Kowalczik, Susan Kowalczik, and Kerry Clair in 2015, the Orphaned Wildlife Center nurtures its animal residents, in the hope they can be returned to the wild. The center often shares videos and updates about the animals in its care to its YouTube channel and page.

Fishing charter lands unexpected catch as dolphin jumps into boat
Fishing charter lands unexpected catch as dolphin jumps into boat

A fishing guide in Moreton Bay, off Brisbane, got a shock when a dolphin jumped into his boat while he was out on a charter on January 14. Footage from fishing guide Bodi Sawyer shows the dolphin lying in the back of his boat, which he said was out with two youngsters on board with him. Sawyer said the dolphin jumped high into the air before landing in the boat breaking the console and injuring a child’s finger. “We are lucky the dolphin didn’t land of either of the kids as it would have resulted in a very serious injury, as the dolphin weighed approximately 150-200 kg,” Sawyer said. According to a local news report, Sawyer contacted a team of rescuers who couldn’t believe what they were hearing. “I thought: ‘Is this guy for real?’,” lead rescuer Pauly Debono told 7 News. “I’ve never seen a dolphin jump into a boat before.” The dolphin was safely returned to sea after its health was checked by the rescue team, the news report said.
