One of the most harrowing sights is finding oneself in dire straits, devoid of the ability to reach out for assistance. In such nightmarish circumstances, the only recourse is to summon every ounce of strength to persevere and cling to hope, refusing to succumb to despair.
While it may seem improbable for humans to find themselves in such predicaments, given our ability to readily seek assistance in today’s modern world, animals, including our cherished pets, often encounter situations where they are left helpless and stranded. Allow me to introduce you to Farcik, a fortunate canine who experienced a glimmer of hope amidst his despair, thanks to the timely aid he received.

On a certain day, individuals laboring near the town of Suwalki in Poland became aware of peculiar sounds emanating from their surroundings. As they traced the source, their astonishment grew, for they discovered a distressed dog ensnared within a treacherous pool of viscous tar. The hapless creature emitted incessant barks, yearning for attention and aid from any compassionate soul who would lend a helping hand.

Despite exerting every effort, the workers found themselves unable to extricate the dog from the clutches of the sticky tar. In a moment of desperation, they reached out to Joanna Godlewska, a dedicated rescuer associated with the Niczyje Animal Foundation. With unwavering swiftness, she hastened to the scene, where a sight of heart-wrenching despair awaited her. “As I arrived and beheld the dog ensnared in the tar, tears welled up in my eyes,” Godlewska recalled, overcome with emotion.

It was believed that the dog, possibly abandoned, had sought solace on the illegally-dumped tar, unknowingly subjecting himself to an inescapable entrapment. The duration of the poor creature’s plight remained unknown, but had it not been for the workers’ fortuitous discovery, his life would have undoubtedly been lost.

The local fire department crew joined forces with Godlewska in a valiant endeavor to liberate the dog. A glimmer of hope radiated from the pup’s eyes, melting the hearts of those present. “He understood that we were saving him” Godlewska recounted, moved by the depth of their connection.

After considerable time and effort, painstakingly removing the most heavily tar-ridden portions of the dog’s fur and employing cooking oil to loosen the remaining residue, the rescuers at last succeeded in raising the pup from his adhesive prison.

Subsequently, the animal was admitted to an animal clinic, where he received treatment for exhaustion. The lingering remnants of tar proved to be a challenging ordeal, but the veterinarian skillfully eliminated the residue. Thankfully, the pup’s overall health remained relatively robust, apart from minor superficial injuries on one side of his face.

Following several thorough cleaning sessions, the pup’s endearing spirit was restored to its former sweetness. “He feels better and better,” Godlewska shared.

Embracing the name Farcik, the delightful pup was afforded the necessary time to recuperate and heal. As soon as his indomitable spirit resurfaced, Godlewska made the heartfelt decision to welcome Farcik into her own abode, providing him with a forever home filled with unwavering love and care.

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.
