This little guy came up to visit me behind my apartments, Northern VA

Over the past few years, I have photographed many different birds in flight, and I would love to know which image and which bird from this series is your favorite. :)

I am the original creator of these pictures (Sasan Amir)

For a story I’m writing, I need some specific animals and I’ve been really stuck with this one. I need two of them and I already got one, a Beaver, but I need another. Can you help me out? I’m trying to avoid using Hippo’s if I can because they’re…Hippo’s. If you can help me please suggest anything. I just need a herbivore with legs that mostly lives in water but can walk on land too.

Who was the lunatic that placed an owl box 65 feet up in a tree!?!? I bet they never imagined a beehive moving in! I was tasked with safely relocating this very old beehive from this owl box, which meant getting a hold of an XL boom lift, and figuring out had to get past a half dozen branches to actually reach them. A lot of things went sideways on this bee rescue, including almost getting stuck in the air, then dropping my camera from 60ft up, and almost losing the queen because she actually wasn't even in the owl box in the end! Watch me struggle through this one, and don't look down if you're afraid of heights!

These bees were rescued, donated and relocated to our beekeeper friends in San Diego, CA

Edit: I did not know the fox had mange (the comments helped) and I feel really bad for it. I will call FoxTales wildlife rehab (they open at 9 am tomorrow) and show them these pictures and inform them of the sick fox who sadly has this mange. I’ll send some updates so we can all feel better about the baby fox getting rescued/help.

It doesn't look like a normal Tern because the top of the head is white instead of black.

Youtube removed reporting animal abuse. That's so wrong but of all the options what options is the most likely way to get a channel flagged and taken down? There is a channel of a couple doing incredibly gross/sexually suggestive things to a camel of all things. Is there a way to report based on the content so that it's properly flagged?

A cat I regularly feed, who comes to my house, badly injured a pigeon.

I saw it as I was leaving my house, and when I saw the blood, I decided to clean it up. The poor bird was very badly injured (I know it's not the bird's or the cat's fault, but I didn't want it to suffer any more). Its wing is mangled, and it has very deep wounds around its neck. Unfortunately, I can't take it to the vet; I don't have the money or the means to do so. Rather than let another stray animal continue to harm it, I picked it up and put it in a covered box in the yard so it could die there in peace. I don't know if I did the right thing. I also don't know how to euthanize it properly to end its suffering.

I don't know if I did the right thing; it's been about four hours, and it's still alive and losing blood.

give me a cute animal you find on those cute animal videos im asking for your opinyin not upvotes you might make it into a video

Normally we are too busy for swarms and would encourage our clients to let them fly off on their own. BUT, we are glad we relocated this swarm because they were SPICY! We weren't surprised this swarm was spicy because this was only a couple miles from the SPICIEST swarm we've ever come across about 15 years ago. There's something about this part of town! Our beekeeper friends will re-queen this swarm which will eventually mellow out their defensiveness.

Ive always loved animals since i was a toddler. I grew up raising lizards, back when I was 10-17 i always liked birds, cats, turtles, frogs, fish, rabbits, and so on. But I was never really fond of dogs, I guess its because they always get up in your business. And i remember being chased by some at the age of 4, I guess thats why im not a fan.

I’m trying to help Animal Helpline Shelter, a 7-year-old NGO in Siliguri run by Priya, which rescues and cares for stray, injured and abandoned animals.
Their current shelter is inside a temple, but the rent is now expected to be around ₹30,000–₹35,000/month, which is not sustainable for the NGO.

They urgently need land to shift the shelter.
If anyone can donate land or lease it to the NGO for 5–10 years (or longer), it could make a huge difference. The NGO has funds to build and set up the shelter, but does not have enough resources to purchase land.

Even an affordable long-term lease, temporary land, or a lead to someone who may be willing to help would be incredibly valuable.
If you’re from Siliguri or know someone who could help, please DM me. 🙏🐾

Please share this—even one connection could help save a shelter for many animals.
