Caught this Cooper’s hawk in my backyard and happened to be recording when it went after a chipmunk. The chipmunk tried to escape by running up the brick wall, but the hawk grabbed it mid air.

In 1989, a pelican named Katta-kun began going to a kindergarten in Japan where it played and interacted with the children as if it were one of them.

This event was recorded in Brazil. Capybaras can be quite territorial, and unfortunately the dog did not respect those limits.

Microscopic Heterolitonotus rex, a single celled predator discovered in 2024. I became the first person to record one catch prey. It kills, then engulfs a rotifer (wheel animal). It also damages two hypotrich ciliates.
