There’s nothing like an eagle entangling itself in your parachute to turn a relaxing paragliding session over the Himalayas into a heart-pounding plunge to the ground. Fortunately for the Russian paraglider in this video, his reserve chute deployed without a hitch.

When it comes to getting around, nothing beats the comfort and style of a tortoise. Sure there are faster methods of travel, but how many come with their own driver? Or feature premium tortoise shell styling inside and out? Just one, and that’s why more chickens choose tortoises when it comes to all their travel needs.

If this video of one gecko saving another gecko from a deadly snake is any indication, you could do a lot worse than having a gecko look out for your safety. No wonder the gecko is the spokesperson for GEICO.

What’s cuter than a cat named Jumbo Pillow eating pumpkin strips while dressed in a pumpkin costume? Honestly, nothing. But if you don’t believe us, feel free to take a look for yourself.

Thanksgiving is still more than a month and a half away, but wild turkeys in the Arden area of Sacramento, CA seem to be on high alert for hungry humans. After hearing numerous stories of rogue turkeys chasing after joggers, Sacramento News10 producer Duffy Kelly set off to investigate the claims herself and wound up with a vicious fowl hot on her tail.

How many firefighters does it take to get a moose out of a pool? No punchline here — the answer is nine.

Filmed in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, this video shows an intrepid employee of the Iscon Mega Mall wrangling several carts in a pretty creative way. Though it may look like quite a challenge (it’s hard to put away one shopping cart, let alone a few dozen) apparently this

Are you looking for a cheap and spacious place to stay in sunny Burbank, California from October 10 – 13? If so, Conan O’Brien may have just the place for you. O’Brien recently listed his 25,000 square foot TV studio for rent on Airbnb, a popular online marketplace where home owners can offer up short-term rentals to travelers looking for alternatives to a hotel.

You’re bound to meet a few interesting people when you take a year-long hitchhiking trip across the country. Artist, traveler and self-proclaimed ‘lover of people’ Benjamin Jenks met exactly 930 when he and his raised thumb journeyed 5,000 miles from Los Angeles to Maine. Artist that he is, Ben put together a time-lapse video of his trip complete with photos of all 930 people he met along the way.

Dogs are no strangers to chilling out but chilling out in the passenger seat of a van while cruising down the California freeway, paw hanging out the window as the wind blows through your fur? That’s a whole different story. This Siberian Husky definitely knows a thing or two about easy riding. Good thing these two dudes caught it on film.

Chimpanzees are generally fearful of water, which makes the fact that Cooper the chimpanzee has learned to swim quite a feat. But that he’s also learned to breathe underwater with a SCUBA tank is truly incredible.

When it comes to taking the subway, most people just want to relax.
