Eden has always had a kind and gentle nature, as shown by her subtle tail wag when she was a stray dog sleeping under a tree. Good-hearted people would stop by to offer her food, and she would greet them with a gentle wag of her tail.

Currently, as Eden awaits a forever home at an animal hospital, she can’t help but reach her paw through the cage, longing to hold hands with anyone who walks by. Suzette Hall, the compassionate founder of Logan’s Legacy dog rescue, discovered Eden when she was living under a tree in Southern California. The reasons behind Eden’s homelessness remain unknown. Despite receiving food from visitors, no one had stepped forward to rescue her. As soon as Hall heard about Eden’s situation, she swiftly brought her home. Eden’s spirits soared the instant she laid eyes on Hall.
“For weeks and weeks, she was under that tree,” Hall told The Dodo. “She wouldn’t leave, but she knew it was her time to stop living under the tree.”

After taking Eden to the vet, Hall and her team decided to give the pup a much-needed bath. During this process, they made a distressing discovery: Eden was severely underweight and had a painful skin condition.
As time went by, Eden’s true personality started to shine through, prompting the veterinary team to move her to a private kennel where she could receive proper care and recuperate. At first, Eden would spend most of her time curled up in her bed. However, one day, a staff member from the hospital walked past her kennel and noticed a solitary paw, grey and white, reaching out through the bars.
“She is sweetest dog you could ever meet,” the woman said. “She’s just a lover.”

Ever since that moment, Eden has continued to offer her paw to anyone passing by her kennel, receiving plenty of friendly handshakes throughout her stay at the veterinary hospital. Despite her friendly and outgoing demeanor, the affectionate pup has yet to find the right match for her. This is because she finds it challenging to feel at ease around other dogs, likely due to having to fend for herself on the streets for a prolonged period.

“She just wants to hold our hand,” Hall said. “She’ll hold your hand and then make the sweetest howl ever as if she’s saying, ‘I love you.’”
Even though it’s taking longer than expected to find the perfect family for Eden, Hall remains optimistic that she will eventually win over the hearts of the right people. According to the rescuer, it’s impossible not to be captivated by this delightful dog. Meanwhile, Eden will continue to bring happiness and affection, one handshake at a time, during her stay at the animal hospital. While some might view her behavior as seeking attention, Hall believes that Eden is trying to convey something more meaningful.

“She deserves it more than anybody[a home],” Hall said. “Everyone falls in love with her. She’s just a cuddler and a total sweetheart.”

These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects
![These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects](http://beginandbegin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/These-Pics-Are-Art-and-the-Artists-Are-Insects.jpg)
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
![Eagle and Fox in an Epic Midair Battle Over a Rabbit, Were Captured by a Photographer](http://beginandbegin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Eagle-and-Fox-in-an-Epic-Midair-Battle-Over-a-Rabbit-Were-Captured-by-a-Photographer.jpg)
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.
