A lion without his bite is hardly a lion at all! This is how the famous Kevin Richardson describes Aslan’s heartbreaking situation. The nine years old majestic lion was suffering from rotten and broken off canines. I just cannot imagine the pain he had to be through.

The lion whisperer and the gorgeous cat are knowing each other for many years. So the lion’s condition makes Richardson to feel completely heartbroken as he sees those adorable creatures like his own children. This insupportable pain “made him more aloof, more agitated, more aggressive, and he isolates himself from the pride, ” the whisperer says.

For a lion, as much as for any other wild animal out there, is crucial to have working teeth. Therefore helping Aslan to use his canines once again was the main priority. And thanks to Fixodent, this was about to happen sooner than expected, to Richardson’s excitement. After all, the lion was about to regain his strong bite, but more than that, the terrible pain that torment him was about to vanish.

The video shows the surgical procedure of fixing the lion’s teeth. It took almost 6 hours, but in the end Aslan has four teeth fixed, instead of just the two originally expected. And most importantly, everything went well.

Dr. Gerhard Steenkamp declared in a post-operation interview that once he got into the lion’s mouth, it was clear that there had been ongoing chronic infection, and that had burst up into the nose. Aslan spent some time recovering and on antibiotics at the sanctuary before being released back to the wild with his pride.

Now that the pain is subsiding the white lion can have his life back!

You probably all heard about  Kevin Richardson before. He is running Kevin Richardson Wildlife Preserve, a self sustaining carnivore preservation. Their mission is  to save and preserve the species of this gorgeous wild cats. Over the years, the lion whisperer has developed a very affectionate and trusting relationship with prides of lions in South Africa.

Lions are being heavily hunted in Africa, and their numbers and habitat are dwindling dangerously low according to Richardson’s website.

“The lion population occupies less than 20 percent of its former range in Africa. Numbers are estimated between 15,000 and 30,000 depending on who is asked,” the website reads. “This is alarming on its own. If allowed to carry on declining at the current rate we will have no lions left in the wild in as few as 20 years.”

When comes to very odd friendships, the animal kingdom never cease to amaze us. Apparently, nothing seems too much in the wildlife world. So, despite the heartwarming footage below, seem too surprising to believe, this Alaskan woman stable upon the most incredible sight. A bald eagle, a fox and her two cats were ganging out on her back porch.

When you live in the city of Unalaska in Alaska, both eagles and foxes, are a very common sight, but when you spot them chilling on next to yours cats, in front of your door, that seems a little exaggerating. Nevertheless, that the kind of sight Pam Aus, came upon, and not just once. Although Pam’s cats – Gizmo and Suitcase – are extremely friendly, she never thought they will befriend wild foxes, let alone bald eagles.

It all started on a snowy afternoon, when Pam who inside her home, heard some noise coming from the back porch, so she went to investigate. Surprisingly, her two cats were there, but not alone. Turns out, they got some very unlikely visitors.

“I was in my room on the computer and I heard the eagle squawking,” Pam explained for The Huffington Post. “I looked out my windows and saw this. It’s kinda common for the foxes to be friendly — same with the eagles. But seeing all three there was exciting. They all just sat there.”

Since then, the odd friends kept visiting Pam’s cats, and the woman constantly uploads videos of their heartwarming bond on Youtube. In one of her videos, can be seen not one, but at least two eagles visiting her cats. But this comes pretty natural when you thinks the place is famous for its massive eagle population. Though in Unalaska live around 5,000 people, the small harbour is home for nearly 600 bald eagles.

“The eagle couple claimed a lamppost across the street from my house,” Pam said. “They will come over and sit on my porch. Or they’ll just sit there and watch my cats.”

Imagine you are waking up in a totally different world with nothing familiar around you. Only the thought of it is terrifying. Sadly this is what happens to so many wild animal due to habitat loss as a result of human hand. And while having highways makes our lives easier because we are able to travel long distances in a very short time, for wild animals crossing a highway is usually deadly. Especially when you’re the slowest animal on Earth.

Fortunately for this tiny sloth, a cop’s kindness was its second chance to live. Sloths are South America’s native mammals, known for their slowness and they usually spend most of their lives hanging upside down in the tropical rain forests. Therefore, when a little sloth seen itself stuck in the middle of a highway in Quevedo, central Ecuador, it instantly got frightened.

However, what happened next turned into the most adorable rescue mission. The local police went to the scene as several drivers called the authorities to report the poor animal. When seeing the officers, the little one soon realized their mission it’s to help him so he tried to be as cooperative as possible. Needless to say he kept a positive attitude the whole time.

As soon as it got rescued, the scared animal was taken to a local vet for investigation. Luckily, everything was fine with the little one and shortly after, he was released back in the wild. “We want to let you know the sloth was rescued and taken by officers to a vet who said it was in a good condition to be returned to its habitat,” the police wrote on Facebook.

However, despite it is a happy ending story, why the little sloth was crossing the road, in the first place? Find out more about sloths in the video bellow!

Melanistic animals are gorgeous. They were born to be different and become conspicuous whenever they are. However, this physical feature sometimes puts them into disadvantageous situations. They might be easily spotted by predators or excluded in their colony.

Recently, an extremely rare black Bengal tiger was spotted in the jungles of Odisha in India. It has black stripes, a rare condition called melanism.

Soumen Bajpayee, an amateur photographer captured the gorgeous animal on camera. He snapped once-in-a-lifetime photos that every wildlife photographer desire.

The man was a bit shocked at first but later became excited. He didn’t meet his chance to take precious photos. The majestic cat only appeared on Soumen’s lens for few seconds and walked back into the trees.

“I was watching various birds in the trees, when I suddenly saw something which looked like a tiger but not like the usual tiger,” Soumen told NDTV.

Melanistic tigers are incredibly rare. Their Bengal tiger breed, in particular, can be found only in the forests of Odisha. They are on the brink of extinction with less than 10 individuals left.
Regarding its melanisms, it occurs when the skin lacks black pigmentation.

Melanistic tigers are highly elusive. It’s rare to encounter them. Soumen is such a lucky photographer. We also have to thank him for these priceless photos.

I just love baby elephants! They are the cutest and most innocent creatures on the planet. These stubby animals have bright wide eyes, long trunks, big ears, and chubby short legs. They prove that baby wild animals can be as adorable and affectionate as pets. They love snuggling up to their human friends and exploring the world around them. I’ve watched an adorable video of a baby elephant chasing and dancing in the middle of the road with a bird flock.

And, the article today is also about a joyful and energetic face. The young calf is spotted smiling brightly for the camera. And this moment melts the hearts of millions of people on the Internet. Incredibly adorable!

The baby elephant seemed to be curious about the photographer near him, so he decided to approach him. He stopped at only five meters away from the man with his trunk swaying around. The young boy wanted to say hi to the human. And he did one thing that actually made the man’s day – posing a big smile for his camera.

This happened within a few seconds but was enough to astonish the photographer. Thankfully, he captured it on his camera. The calf’s smile stole my heart. It’s one of the purest and sweetest things I’ve seen so far.

Ryan Labuschagne (name of the photographer) spotted the baby elephant and his herd at the Addo Elephant National Park near Port Elizabeth, South Africa. They were running towards the dam.

The calf was born with joyful vibes. He kept running here and there with the expression of true happiness on his face. He seemed to enjoy his time a lot!

When the young boy saw Ryan, he just wanted to come close to say hello. He smiled brightly for greeting. Who can resist this cuteness? Ryan can’t and millions of people can’t, either.

If you are looking for something positive for these uncertain days, just give these pics a look. The young calf’s happy smile wins!

A parliament of baby owls was captured on camera enjoying a birdbath in 105-degree Texas weather.

Owls can potentially hold the world record for being the most adorable birds in existence. However, perhaps baby owls are even cuter than their adult counterparts. It’s nearly impossible to resist their round little eyes. They stare at you with such hope about the future. Their petite and fluffy bodies almost beg for a hug; it’s too bad that birds have such delicate bones because otherwise there would be lines around the block of people waiting to squeeze them into their arms all day!

Their long legs are easily concealed by the bulk of their feathers; they almost look like Russian nesting dolls. It’s almost difficult to imagine that such delicate creatures are predators.

According to Chattahoochee Nature Center, they use their wings and sharp talons to swoop down and seize their prey before flying off to their nest to feast. However, it’s important to know that they don’t do this out of any malicious intentions, but they have a strong desire to feed their offspring and take care of their families.

Not only is making sure one’s belly is full quite important, but so is making sure that one’s body is squeaky clean! Taking a bath isn’t always fun, especially if little humans are an example.

Frequently it’s challenging enough just to get one into the tub oh, let alone a whole crew. So what happens when outside, on a regular spring day, a typically unused bird bath suddenly becomes the local avians’ hotspot? Pure adorableness!

This video shows four fledgling owls stopping by the birdbath in their local neighborhood to partake in a little bit of TLC and to get their wings clean. The initial owl, a fledgling screech owl, swoops down to perch atop the edge of the ornate birdbath.

Perhaps he’s interested in the bird-shaped clay that adorns the outside of the bird bath’s rim? In any case, he’s the first of the party as he begins splashing about happily in the water.

It isn’t long until he’s joined by his siblings; his head is on a swivel as it turns around and around elegantly. He must already be expecting his siblings, but it’s obvious that his reactions tell us, “Am I really this early to the spa?”

For a moment, the little owl’s adorable eyes perfectly meet the camera for the ideal thumbnail. It’s easy to get lost in the adorableness of the fledgling owl, and suddenly two more stop by to partake in the fun! Finally, now it’s a party!

This adorable scene takes place in the scorching state of Texas, where it is not uncommon for some areas to reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit! The baby owls dunk their heads in and out of the birdbath to cool down. It’s obvious that they’re thankful to the human for being so kind as to provide them with the perfect place to rest after a long day of hunting or flying around! Even though owls are nocturnal, they still take care of their needs during the day.

Finally, the fourth owl shows up, and the other three give them a look as if to say, “You’re late to the party!” before making room for their sibling to splash and play along with the rest. It’s quite rare to see so many owls in an urban spot, as owls typically are more solitary birds.

Have you ever seen an owl before in your yard? What did they look like? We want to hear all about your feathered friend!

 

Sakura the otter’s bedtime ritual includes hugging his sibling, Mochi the cat, as seen in a video posted by their human on YouTube on July 18.

Everyone’s seen a kitten cuddle puddle at some point in their lives. Usually, this means that a litter of kittens—or even just cats raised in the same home—will sleep on top of each other. Typically, this is for warmth and protection and is a normal part of their daily lives, starting at birth and continuing throughout the course of their lives.

Otters, surprisingly, are relatively similar. In the wild, baby otters will sleep on top of their moms, wrapping their arms around them as they float through the water, as Treehugger tells. When they grow up, otters are known to hold hands with each other as they sleep to ensure they don’t get lost from their friends while they float. It’s a natural part of their lives and helps keep these creatures safe on a daily basis.

One otter, in particular, Sakura, was rescued by a human. However, adapting to a domestic life can be a little bit tricky, and it definitely takes some getting used to. However, Sakura doesn’t have to learn how to live domestically alone. In fact, he has a best friend that helps him feel warm and safe. That best friend is a very patient and sweet kitten named Mochi.

Mochi was fairly young when he met Sakura. According to Daily Mail, the owner Mako says that the two hit it off pretty quickly. They were both curious about each other, and it didn’t take them long to realize that they should definitely be friends. The two are known for playing with each other, hanging out around the house together, and getting into all sorts of trouble when their owner isn’t looking.

However, the one thing no one thought to expect was Mochi and Sakura’s bedtime routine. As a cat, Mochi is perfectly happy to spend most of his day napping, if you let him. Sakura has a little more energy and is known for staying up just a bit longer. However, once Sakura’s tired, he knows exactly what he needs to do to fall asleep comfortably. According to their owner, Sakura walked up to Mochi shortly after meeting him, and, having decided he was a friend, decided to give him a hug.

Like we said earlier, this isn’t terribly uncommon for otters, who value physical connection as a form of protection and safety in the wild. But no one expected Mochi to be so okay with it. Sakura walks up to Mochi, who is already soundly asleep. Without even the slightest bit of hesitation, he wraps his arms around the kitten, squeezing him just a little bit. This causes Mochi to stir just slightly, but he’s clearly not bothered. He lets out a yawn and settles back in, with Mochi snuggling against him happily.

After a few minutes of cuddling, Mochi is back asleep again, and Sakura is not far behind. The two are clearly comfortable with each other. Since cats are so used to snuggling in the wild, it must seem relatively normal for Mochi, despite the fact Sakura is most certainly not a cat, by any means.

Now, Sakura won’t sleep unless his best friend is beside him. His YouTube channel features tons of videos of the two snuggling together, playing, and enjoying each other’s company. But once it’s time to go to bed, they’re snuggled up together, making sure the other is safe.

Let us know what you think about this odd pair in the comments! Were you as surprised as we were to find out that despite their differences, these two adorable animals are the best of friends? Then be sure to pass this on to someone you think could use seeing two adorable animals show their love for one another.
