An adorable - Sloth rescued from a busy highway

Sloth found itself in a terrifying situation when the fuzzy creature tried to cross a highway in Quevedo, Ecuador, but ended up stranded and clinging to the guardrail.

The poor animal was clearly freaked out, so hopefully it learned the hard way to stay away from highways and focus instead on a promising modeling career.

Transit police showed up to help this poor animal.

5 Awesome & Crazy Bike Mods (Photo Gallery)

Most people have seen tandem (two-seater) bikes, penny farthing (old-timey) bikes, and even tall bikes (exactly what they sound like), but these crazy bike mods make those tried-and-true models look downright boring.

1 The Dino Trike

Who wants to wrangle a dinosaur without having to head to Jurassic Park? Check out this awesome T-Rex trike that was recently for sale on Craigslist. The rider can even make the old bag of bones open her mouth and turn her head.  (Source)


2 Bison Bike

Whether you love the bison of the American West, or you just miss the shag carpeting of the '70s, we're pretty sure you'll love this bison bike spotted in Copenhagen. I sure hope they keep it out of the rain, or it might just start smelling like a real bison.(Source)

3 Camper Bike

Plenty of people bike through the wilderness and camp out in tents. However, full-size camping trailers have been reserved for those using automobiles. Artist Kevin Cyr's camper bike finally gives cyclists the freedom to travel with a proper bed, kitchen, and entertainment center.(Source)

4 Game Controller Handlebars

Looking for a way to get gamers outside? Try making a bike with a controller in place of the handlebars. Sure, the buttons won't do anything, but maybe just having something familiar in their hands will be enough to keep people off the console and in the sunshine.  (Source)

5 Shoe Cycle

This crazy bike uses a series of shoes attached to sturdy spokes to simulate walking without ever putting your feet on the ground. This clever creation also appeared at a Tour de Fat bike festival in San Francisco in 2008.(Source)

Man spent 9 years being trapped on the island is now rescued because of Google Earth!

If you have ever watched the movie, Cast Away, you would know that how Tom Hank spent long time on a deserted island. Here is a similar story about Adam Jones, who spent almost 9 years being trapped on a deserted island, but with the help of Google Earth, he was rescued recently! Here is how he spent 9 years there!

The Voyage

Adam Jones set off for a journey in 2006, along with his 2 friends, starting from Liverpool, their home, to Hawaii. In between they had to cross Atlantic Ocean and the Panama Canal. As they reached in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a monstrous storm struck their boat violently, and damaged it along with their electronic equipment. His friends went overboard while Adam was knocked by the storm unconscious for about 17 days, and he kept drifting in the ocean.


Surviving the days in the beginning!

Adam spent 2 weeks on his boat but he built on his own the water trapping contrivance on it, and this way he saved a lot of water whenever it rained. At first he built a makeshift shelter out of boat debris, but it was collapsed and then he made a solid shelter. Using a clam shell, he brought a tree down in the span of 11 weeks. He somehow learnt how to make fire, and hence light in the dark!

Hunting for food!

Adam obviously had to hunt animals on the island for his survival, and he also found 8 wild goats there, but he couldn’t hunt them without any weapon. He tried to hunt them with his own made bow and arrow, but in vain. Fortunately he found a goat trapped in the bushes. After somehow killing it, he got 50 kg of meat from it.

He worked for his physical fitness!

Adam told that in order to stay fit, he used to do exercise daily on the beach, including push-ups, chin-ups using a tree branch, and he did squats having boulders over his shoulders. Also, he ran every day for about 300 meter on the beach.

The frustration and feeling of being lonely!

Adam said that the most difficult part of his survival was his fight with his brain. The feeling of being lonely, and the depression he felt whenever he thought that nobody would ever come to help, almost made him dead from inside. At first he made an SOS sign about 10 feet high, but no one came there. Then he decided to empty a large area on the beach and wrote there “SOS”. He always hoped that someday, some aircraft would fly form here and will see this sign and he will eventually be rescued. He couldn’t do anything except to have a strong hope and to never give up.


And there came the rescue team! FINALLY!

One day Adam heard loud noise of planes flying over him, he ran in the empty area and waved them, luckily they saw him and dropped a packet for Adam. The packet had a radio, fresh water, food, and some first-aid items in it. As he turned the radio on to talk to the pilot, he felt extremely happy to hear human voice after 9 years. He asked them how they reached there, they told him that a child living in Minnesota found his SOS sign on Google Earth and told the authorities that he was in need of help.


Even after being found, he waited for about 5 days because the boat took time to reach that island. Eventually, the lucky man was rescued from the unknown island on which he lived like a home for 9 years.

The Exclusive 8 Pictures of Sea Monsters That Shook The World!

Your parents always told you that there were no such things as monsters, but ... THERE ARE!

#1.Trunko
Trunko was seen alive, off the shore of Margate, South Africa, where it was fighting with two killer whales, then washed ashore. Beached for 10 days, it was given the name Trunko for the elephant-like trunk it had. The 47 foot long creature then went back out to see, nobody ever the white furry creature again. it was the only creature found alive.


It was described as being 47 feet (14 meters) long, 10 feet (3 meters) wide and 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall. Its name was given by a strange appendage resembling an elephant’s trunk. According to reports, it was covered with a snow-white fur and had a lobster-like tail.

The World's Largest Crocodile Caught In The Philippines Is Beyond Terrifying

Judging by all of the intense wildlife found on (or near) their islands, the people in the Philippines have it rough. Giant, man-eating sharks aren't the only monsters they have to worry about.
Now, people in the Philippines have to worry about monsters on land, as well. Meet the giant Filipino crocodile. (So much for being safe on land...)

Back in 2011, residents of a small village south of the Philippine capital, Manila, managed to capture the world's largest, living crocodile.The 21-foot, 2,370-pound monster had been terrorizing the area for years. After it was suspected in the killing of a local fisherman, and some farmers' live stock went missing, a team of 100 local men set out to finally catch the beast.After an all day struggle they managed to trap the croc with steal nets, and drag it out of the small creek it was hiding in. The men then bound it up with tough rope and lifted it onto the back of a truck with the help of a crane.

Wow ! This Family Decided To Live With A Lion...And What Happened Is Just Unbelievable !

Living with a lion sounds pretty awesome. I doubt you'd have to worry about break-ins. But I wouldn't want to be the one cleaning up the hairballs!
Following a trip to Africa, actress Tippi Hedren (known for her starring role in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds), her husband Noel Marshall, and her actress daughter Melanie Griffith wanted to make a movie about lions. To make a convincing movie about the majestic creatures, they needed to learn about them. The best way to learn about them, advised animal trainer Ron Oxley, was to "live with them for a while." So they took him at his word.
.You would think that advising people to live with lions might not be such a good idea, but it worked out well for the family. Kind of bizarrely well. The family opened their home to Neil, a male lion who was way bigger than any of his human friends. Actually, he was one of the many "wild" animals who shared the family's California ranch, but he was the cuddliest. Check out these incredible photos of Neil hanging out with his people in the early 1970s. It's pretty amazing to think of this enormous and ferocious animal lounging by a pool. In the photos, Neil seems more like an oversized house cat than the king of the jungle.
The movie the family wanted to make went on to become 1981's Roar. Besides being a commercial failure (it took $17.5 million to make, but grossed only $2 million), it also caused some injuries to the human cast. An estimated 70 people were injured during the making of the film. Griffith required facial stitches after an attack from a lionesses, but the family's love of the big cats did not diminish. After the filming wrapped, Hedren founded the Shambala Preserve, a sanctuary for mistreated or neglected exotic animals. Hedren still lives there to this day in the company of about 70 animals, including the late Michael Jackson's Bengal tiger.

Monty was born without a nasal bridge, which is essentially the bone in the nose that supports all that cartilage. It accounts for his unique appearance, but does cause a couple issues.Because of his void where most cats have a bone in their nose, Monty tends to sneeze a little bit more than your average house cat. How cute!

3 things dogs will say for sure If they could talk – Hypothetical

1.) Do you love dogs? Do you love playing around with them? Is it their playful nature that attracts you to have them?? Then, don’t be mistaken of their play fullness. They know and understand each and everything you do to them.

If you think you are upset of your dog shit around, breaking your stuffs, don’t you dare point at him? The reason not doing so is to save yourself from his anger for you. You still did not catch me. Please move your eyeballs on the below picture. It’s just not you who loves his manly traits but dogs too have the same feelings!! Catch it!!


2.) You have fixed your time to take your dog out to give him freedom to attend his nature call. But what if you miss that time? You might b e thinking it’s not a big a deal. You will take him later. Sorry!!

But you are late to understand what I am trying to tell you!! Your idea of skipping that fixed time for your dog outta house can leave you becoming a maid to home for 5 mins. As you will be seen cleaning the floor all over on that aspect. If you are still doubtful, give a look below!!

3.) It feels so amazing bringing a dog home when he is just 30 days. You always have an idea to teach him and train him for his betterment. If you are a bad master, dog won’t be able to learn anything but in case if you are a too good master, then also there is a negative attached.

You might be thinking what is the drawback of being a good master to your dog? The problem will be, dog will understand and obey your each order. You find nothing wrong in that. Have a look below. You definitely will think twice before you speak!!

World's Smallest Snake

Leptotyphlops carlae is the world's smallest species of snake, with adults averaging just under four inches in length. Found on the Caribbean island of Barbados, the species --which is as thin as a spaghetti noodle and small enough to rest comfortably on a U.S. quarter-- was discovered by Blair Hedges.World's Smallest Snake: 10.1 cm (4-inch) long,

Old, But Amazing ! Same Tortoise Is In A Picture From 1902... And 2014 !

You're probably familiar with the story of the tortoise and the hare. The whole "slow and steady thing" is the key to winning the race. Right? As it turns out, going "slow and steady" is important for when you're racing rude hares... and just living life.

This tortoise made that point perfectly clear. His name is Jonathan and he might be the oldest living tortoise on Earth.

It is thought that Jonathan was brought to the island of St. Helena in 1882. A photo from 1902 shows him at his full adult size and it can take 50 years for a giant tortoise to reach its adult size, meaning that he could have been born in 1832.

Jonathan is probably the oldest land animal currently living, but he isn’t the oldest ever – other tortoises have lived longer, with one unconfirmed tortoise in India that may have lived up to as many as 250 years of age.He's slow moving, but he is probably going to beat all of us.

She now loves these piglets and treats them like her own. And needless to mention, her health is back on track. Yes, they ALL have feelings.

The Scariest Snake Ever

This monster snake lived 60-58 million years ago. It is the largest snake ever discovered, reaching a length of 12-15 m (40-50 ft), and weighing about 1135 kg (2500 pounds). The fossils of 28 of the titanoboa were found in coal mines in Colombia in 2009. Prior to that, a few fossils were found in ancient tropical areas of South America.
