Don’t you just love nature? Not something you see too often out here.
Scott Nelson and his Sons were fishing Saturday when this small Whitetail fawn approached them on the South fork of the Snake River. It must have spent the summer bumming from campers or maybe one the home owners in the lower canyon was feeding it so it lost its fear of humans.
This is without question the “Catch of the Year”.
Wow. These are really cool photos of a snake consuming a monitor lizard. Reportedly in Arizona.
This one has been around awhile now. I’ve seen it come to my inbox via email numerous times. Still, it is an amazing video of the tenacious defense of a nest by a woodpecker.
The last time this came to me it was noted that the woodpecker was a “Mexican” woodpecker. I don’t know what that is. It appears to me that this is a common Pileated Woodpecker that makes it’s home all over the United States.
I got this recently from one of my readers.
Meet the wiliest of all coyotes.
When a brother and sister struck a coyote at 75mph they assumed they had killed the animal and drove on. They didn’t realize this was the toughest creature ever to survive a hit-and-run.
Eight hours, two fuel stops, and 600 miles later they found the wild animal embedded in their front fender – and very much alive. Daniel and Tevyn East were driving at night along Interstate 80 near the Nevada-Utah border when they noticed a pack of coyotes near the roadside on October 12. When one of the animals ran in front of the car, the impact sounded fatal so the siblings thought there no point in stopping.
‘Right off the bat, we knew it was bad,’ Daniel explained. ‘We thought the story was over.’ After the incident around 1:00am, they continued their 600 mile drive to North San Juan – even stopping for fuel at least twice.
But it was only when they finally reached their destination at 9:00am did they take time to examine what damage they may have sustained. At first it looked as though it was going to be quite gruesome. ‘[Daniel] saw fur and the body inside the grill,’ Tevyn East said. ‘I was trying to keep some distance. Our assumption was it was part of the coyote – it didn’t register it was the whole animal.’
Daniel East got a broom to try and pry the remains out of the bumper and got the shock of his life. ‘It flinched,’ Tevyn East said. ‘It was a huge surprise – he got a little freaked out.’
Here’s a series of gamecam photos of a young whitetail deer with an arrow piercing it’s head. Ouch.
