During the counting of cattle on a farm, the owner discovered that one calf was missing. Soon, the missing calf was found at the bottom of an abandoned well.
It couldn’t get out.
To save the calf, the farmer had to call the fire brigade and an excavator. They dug a trench, broke the wall of the well and pulled the scared animal out.

The guardians of a park in Colorado found a bear sitting in a special pit for skateboarders.
It seems that the bear had spent the whole night there. He wasn’t able to get out of there because the concrete walls are smooth and there is nothing to cling to.
Look after the jump how they helped him.

You should always be careful with seagullls. Whether this penguin didn’t know that or he was simply shocked of such impudence.
But one thing is clear, that day he was left without dinner.

The whole ‘show’ lasted few seconds. Wildlife photographers were watching the bait for three hours in the Atlantic Ocean near Cape Town (South Africa), when at last, a great white shark weighing over two tonnes jumped out of the water for a few yards, catching its prey.
And the photographers could take a picture of this incredible jump, just the way they wanted.

I’m not a fan of poodles, to be honest, it’s quite the opposite but those ones are really funny.
I could easily say that it’s a piece of crap and we should not make that to dogs but c’mon, look at the camel, it’s so funny! And the others are great too.
You may wonder why people did that to their poodles, well the reason is simple – they were all competing for the title of top dog at 'creative grooming' shows across the US. Owners of the dogs (mostly women) have only two hours to transform them into another creatures, but the poodles are colored before they arrive.
I call it art, funny and original art. I wish there were more of those creations to see in this series of pictures. Enjoy!

10 years ago, the elephant named Motola has lost her leg after she stepped on a landmine.
Now she’s 48 years old and the Thai workers of a veterinary hospital have made her a present - a real leg prosthesis.
Well done, guys.

Animals often get stuck and it happens usually because of their curiosity.
In most cases, they can’t get out by themselves and need human’s helping hand ;)
For example, this stoat traveled sixty miles in the engine compartment.
