Kind-hearted Man Rescues a Stray Cat Stuck to an Object and Gives Her the Perfect Forever Home
It’s safe to say that many species rely on humans for their survival. However, some people are unaware of this fact and treat animals as if they were mere sources of entertainment. Unfortunately, there are individuals, particularly unsupervised and irresponsible children, who find it easier to engage in actions that put the lives of animals at risk. In a similar heartbreaking incident, a group of unkind kids used glue to attach a cat to an object, using it as a toy.
The tiny cat found herself in a dire situation until a kind-hearted person stumbled upon her. The rescuer sought help online, posting about the cat’s predicament. Thankfully, internet users quickly noticed the post, and someone suggested using coconut oil as a solution to free the kitten. Grateful for the assistance, the rescuer named the little cat Coco, as a reminder of the unfortunate circumstances she had endured.

Even though this tiny bundle of fur looked about two months old, she weighed less than a pound and began showing signs of having difficulty breathing.

A trip to the vet confirmed the worrisome news: she had feline calicivirus (FCV), a widespread but potentially life-threatening infection.

Despite receiving several medications as prescribed, Coco’s breathing difficulties continued. This led to a second urgent visit to the vet.

During her second visit, the vet cleaned Coco’s nasal passages and administered a nebulizer treatment to help her breathe better.

Everyone felt relieved when these actions seemed to work wonders, as Coco started purring and regained her ability to groom herself.

As the story of the kitten spread to a wider audience on Reddit, an overwhelming wave of support emerged. Numerous compassionate users stepped forward, offering to contribute and assist with Coco’s medical expenses.

Coco’s owner made it clear that she was currently only on two medications: one to boost her immune system and another for her daily vitamin intake.

Our courageous little Coco would have these companions by her side for the remainder of her life. It was a small but essential cost to ensure her continued health and liveliness.

Although Coco still needs to gain more weight and has a significant journey ahead of her for full recovery, she is making remarkable progress!

And, most importantly, Coco had found a caring home where she was cherished and valued.

These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects
Flying insects move so quickly that they are hard to follow, but new technology and some smart ideas have helped Spanish photographer Xavi Bou do just that. After spending 10 years focusing on birds in flight for his Ornithographies project, he turned his attention to insects.
For Entomographies, he uses high-speed video footage taken by Adrian Smith, an insect expert at North Carolina State University, to study and record how insects move. Bou then picks multiple frames and combines them into single images that show the fast movements of one or more insects through space and time.
With Smith’s help, Bou has captured the aerial tricks of wasps, the jumps of leafhoppers, and the fluttering of butterflies in amazing detail. He hopes that by doing this, he can make people more aware of the decline in important insect populations around the world.
1. Zebra longwing
This butterfly, which is common in many areas of the Americas, really fits its name. It can fly very high with just a few flaps of its large wings.

2. Two-lined spittlebug
This insect, which comes from the eastern United States, is often seen as a pest because it likes to eat grass. Its springy back legs can make it jump into the air like a rocket.

3. Yellow-collared scape moth
Unlike most moths, this North American species flies during the day. Its shiny blue-black wings sparkle in the sunlight.

4. Ailanthus webworm moths
These tropical moths have spread farther north in the U.S. Because of their larval host, the invasive tree of heaven, they are now one of the most common backyard moths in the country.

5. Common stonefly
Mostly found in eastern North America, this insect starts its life as an underwater nymph in forested streams or rivers. Then it leaves the water, sheds its skin, and becomes an adult with wings.

6. Green lacewings
Eighty-seven species of this insect have been found in the U.S. and Canada. Since they eat a lot of unwanted plant pests like aphids and mites, they are often used to naturally control these pests.

7. Grapevine beetle
This insect, fittingly named, eats the leaves and fruit of grapevines, both wild and farmed, but it doesn’t do much damage to the plants. As a type of scarab beetle, it often flies in a curved path.

8. Oak treehopper and green treehopper
Treehoppers are known for their uniquely shaped pronotum, the part behind their head, which often looks like plant parts to hide from predators. They can jump well thanks to special muscles.

9. Banded orange
This brightly colored butterfly can be found from Mexico to Brazil. Before mating season, male butterflies look for mineral salts, sometimes even drinking salty fluids from the skin, eyes, and nostrils of other animals.

10. Sapho longwing
Longwings can live for 6 to 7 months, longer than most butterflies. This type, found from Mexico to Ecuador, has shiny blue wings, which is why it’s also called the Sapphire longwing.

Eagle and Fox in an Epic Midair Battle Over a Rabbit, Were Captured by a Photographer
Wildlife photography often depends on the perfect combination of good timing and the right place.
That’s exactly what happened when Kevin Ebi, an experienced wildlife photographer, captured an incredible battle between a bald eagle and a red fox, both competing for a rabbit meal.
In a detailed blog post, Ebi shares the fascinating series of events that unfolded while he was photographing foxes in San Juan Island National Historical Park, located in Washington state.
Ebi noticed a lively group of eight fox kits as they began their hunting lessons. Suddenly, they spotted a rabbit, and a thrilling chase ensued. Eventually, one of the foxes emerged as the winner, proudly carrying the rabbit across the field.

Ebi shares what happened at that moment: “As I followed the fox with my camera, a sudden bald eagle cry caught my attention. It was swiftly approaching, clearly aiming for the rabbit. I quickly focused on the fox, anticipating a quick turnover of events.”
To Ebi’s astonishment, instead of a quick surrender, the situation turned into a intense fight in the air.
The eagle used its power to lift the fox and rabbit high up in the sky. Even while airborne, the fox attempted to break free by swinging back and forth.

In the end, the eagle moved the rabbit to its other claw, causing the fox to let go. The intense battle came to an end in less than 10 seconds.

For those worried about the fox’s well-being after the fight, Ebi reassures that it was not injured. The fox swiftly bounced back from the encounter and resumed its playful behavior with the other young foxes, showing no visible wounds from the aerial clash.
