Sometimes, studies and research are clearly done with the idea of furthering the knowledge of mankind. But just as every builder can’t create Buckingham Palace, so too everyone with access to a computer and a copy of Excel can’t be expected to unlock the secrets of the universe. So it was with tongue firmly in cheek, we imagine, that pet insurance comparison website moneybeach.co.uk put together its report to decide which types of dog are the most beautiful to the human eye. They used as their basis the Golden Ratio, a well-respected theory in art and design which dates back to the Classical world, and which draws heavily on patterns observed in Nature. A picture of each dog breed — 100 were considered in all — was then rated to see how closely its features adhered to the ratio. Pic: Louise Parker The results are… well, surprising. Seeing the rottweiler in 8th place, seven places above the But let’s face it: the whole thing is utter nonsense, and simply a bit of fun, presumably designed to get rival owners’ chins wagging as fast as their pets’ tails. And in any case, looks aren’t everything — if you’re looking to get a dog, it needs to fit in with your lifestyle rather than your desire for attractive dog-and-owner selfies. Our article on how to choose the perfect dog can help you decide what would work best for you and your family. With that caveat taken care of, here are the top 20 cutest dog breeds according to the report: 1. Dalmatian Adherence to golden ratio: 67.03% 2. Irish Water Spaniel 66.26% 3. Wire Fox Terrier 65.53% 4. Labrador 64.67% 5. Basset Hound 64.43%

Omegle is a free online chat website that allows users to socialize with others without the need to register. The service randomly pairs users in one-on-one chat sessions where they chat anonymously using the names "You" and "Stranger" or "Stranger 1" and "Stranger 2" in the case of Spy mode. The site was created by 18-year-old Leif K-Brooks of Brattleboro, Vermont, and was launched on March 25, 2009.[1][2] Less than a month after launch, Omegle garnered around 150,000 page views a day,[3] and in March 2010 the site introduced a video conferencing feature. Omegle was initially a text-only chat that paired users at random to communicate as "strangers". However, in 2010, Omegle introduced a video mode to complement the text chat mode, which pairs together strangers who are using webcams and microphones. The video chat also has a built in text window.[citation needed] In 2011, the beta version of a new feature, "Spy Mode", was introduced. In Spy (Question) Mode, users have two options: to be the "spy" and ask a question of two strangers, or to discuss a question with another stranger. As the spy, the user inputs any question for the two strangers to answer or discuss and is able to view the discussion as a third party, albeit without being able to contribute further to the conversation. The spy can quit at any time without ending the chat for the two other strangers. If a user chooses to discuss a question instead, as in normal text mode, the user is paired with another stranger and can discuss the question the spy has asked up until the point the other stranger decides to disconnect and/or move on to another question.[citation needed] In 2012, Omegle added a special new feature to the text and video modes, the option to input "interest" tags. Adding interests lets users be paired with a stranger who has something in common with the user. A user can input as many interests as they would like, and if no available match is found, the user is paired with a completely random stranger instead.[citation needed] In 2013, an unmonitored version of the video chat mode was opened, leaving the original content moderator-regulated video section open to anyone aged thirteen and up as long as the content of his or her video stream is clean. Initially, questionable adult content in the video section of Omegle was filtered using image recognition algorithms only. The newer unmonitored video section allows consenting adults over the age of eighteen the freedom to view, and share with one another, uncensored explicit video streams.[citation needed] In 2014, Omegle began experimenting with a "Dorm Chat" mode, which requires users to provide an email address ending in ".edu" to verify that they are associated with a college or university. Dorm Chat allows users to chat with their classmates and colleagues on Omegle.[citation needed] In 2015, Omegle began implementing ReCaptcha security measures to help reduce the amount of bots on the site. This has, however, been met with complaints that bots remain and legitimate use is excessively interrupted.

An informal and affectionate term for a dog lover that identifies as female and believes that her pets are “fur kids”. While some dog owners may never think of their dogs as their children, dog moms are an entirely different breed. Dog moms don’t just live with a dog, they think of their dogs as members of their immediate cross-species family, nurturing their “fur babies” like they are human crotch goblins. Dog Mom synonyms: Crazy Dog Lady, Fur Mamma, Pack Parent, Queen of Thumbs, Pupper Parent, Head of the Howlhold, Matron of Mutts, Litter Lady, the Mother of Dogons If you saw this photo and thought “Awww Frito feet”… you’re probably a dog mom 21 Signs You Might Be a Dog Mom (or Dog Dad) 1. Your parents refer to your dog as their “grandchild” Even if you say this only jokingly – odds are you’re probably a dog mom. Double points if you do this even though you also have human children. 2. Your dog has a good side If you have taken enough dog pictures that you know what are your pup’s best selfy angles, ever commissioned a custom dog portrait, visited a dog friendly photo studio, or even went so far as to tap a famous dog photographer to immortalize your pup – you’re probably a dog mom. 3. Corn chips make you sentimental If a stroll through the snack aisle at your local grocer or the smell of a bowl of tortilla chips triggers fond memories of when you first brought your pup home – you’re probably a dog mom. 4. Your dog eats better than you do If you’ve ever purchased premium dog food or treats for your pet, but you usually buy “store brand” food or plan meals around whatever is on sale when feeding yourself – you’re probably a dog mom. 5. You make your own dog treats If you have a favorite dog biscuit recipe or take the time to dehydrate meat to make your own dog jerky treats – you’re probably a dog mom. 6. Your dog goes to daycare If you drop your pup off at a dog spa or doggy day care on your commute to work, or if you hire a dog walker to play with your pup when you’re at the office – you’re probably a dog mom. 7. You have other children, but the dog is your favorite If your dog is secretly (or not so secretly) your favorite – you’re probably a dog mom. 8. You make play dates for your dog If your dog has a “best friend” or buddy that you regularly visit simply for your dog to hang out and play with – you’re probably a dog mom. 9. You’ve shown strangers pictures of your dog If you have ever whipped out your phone to show total strangers cute puppy pictures – you’re probably a dog mom. 10. Your dog has their own Instagram account If your dog has an active social media presence and their own Instagram followers (especially those that you’ve never met), despite not having any thumbs to type with – you’re probably a dog mom. 11. You give your dog presents If you’ve celebrated your dog’s Gotcha Day or Birthday with a gift or bought something while out shopping for other things because you know your dog would absolutely love it – you’re probably a dog mom. 12. You have conversations with your dog If you talk to your dog like they understand you – you’re probably a crazy dog lady (and a dog mom). That said, if you talk to your dog and they talk back you might just be crazy – and a dog mom.

Ever since early history, humans have developed a special bond with dogs. As pack animals, dogs have an inherent sense of loyalty to their pack and have a need for companionship, love, security, and friendship. As humans, we share many of these same needs. Over the years, this has led to dogs cementing their place right by our sides, as man’s best friend. While we as humans view our dogs as our friends, they view us as members of their pack. All dogs are loyal and have the capacity to show great loyalty, but some may have stronger instincts for loyalty than others. Throughout history, there have been numerous stories of dogs displaying great valor in order to protect, save or remain alongside their owners. We’ve made a list of what we believe are the top 12 loyal dog breeds. Based on breeding and history, temperament and owner experiences, these particular breeds have proven time and again to be loyal and brave. 1. Rough Collie Description It should come as no surprise that Lassie tops our list! The Rough Collie is a herding breed that originated in Scotland. Just like the famed pooch was on the big and small screen, these friendly dogs are intelligent, active, and good with children and other animals. Rough collies have a history of being incredibly loyal and protective of their owners, making them excellent family dogs. Story of Loyalty Sassy, a Rough Collie, is a therapy dog with some pretty amazing skills. In addition to being trained to perform typical tasks for a therapy dog, Sassy is able to tell if someone is going to have a seizure using her sense of smell. A family is hoping to adopt Sassy for their son who suffers from an unusual form of epilepsy, which can cause him to have several seizures a day. 2. German Shepherd Description Commonly used by the police and military, German Shepherds originated from Germany dating back to the late 1800s. These highly active dogs have a willingness to learn and serve a purpose. As a working dog breed, German Shepherds are naturally loyal and bond well with familiar faces. They have a tendency to become overprotective of their family and territory, strong guidance and training is a necessity. Story of Loyalty One family avoided being robbed, and possibly even worse, because of their German Shepherd, Moti’s bravery! Moti jumped into action, barking and trying to protect his family when a man with a gun broke into the family’s home. The intruder shot Moti and, rather than continue with whatever misdeeds he had planned, fled the home, leaving the family safe. Moti fully recovered from his gunshot wound, but his family will not likely soon forget his heroism that night. 3. Beagle Description A hunting breed, Beagles are often used by homeland security personnel because of their incredible sense of smell. The modern breed has its origins in Great Britain but has even been mentioned in references dating back to Ancient Greece. They are known to be merry, kind, and gentle. They are pack animals and for this reason, they are very attached to their owners. Story of Loyalty When her diabetic owner had a seizure and collapsed, a Beagle named Belle jumped into action. She dialed 911 for her owner by biting his cell phone so he was able to get the medical attention he needed. 4. Kuvasz Description Originating from Hungarian roots, this breed was known to guard livestock. In recent years, Kuvasz’s have served well as house pets. Kuvasz’s are an intelligent breed that has a clownish sense of humor. They are loyal pets that appreciate attention with a streak of aloofness and independence. The combination of their large size and loyalty to their family makes this breed a suitable guard dog. Story of Loyalty Due to his size and strength, a Kuvasz named Pilot is the perfect companion and assistant to his owner. His owner is unable to lift or carry anything that weighs more than five pounds due to injuries she sustained to her neck and shoulders. He helps his owner perform tasks she otherwise would be incapable of performing. Pilot brings laundry up from the basement and pulls the grocery cart, among other tasks. When his owner, who also suffers from dizziness and chronic pain, has a dizzy spell, Pilot is right there for her to lean on so she never has to worry about falling and injuring herself. 5. Labrador Retriever Description With roots dating back to Newfoundland off the east coast of North America, The Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds of dog in the world. It is known for its happy temperament, boundless energy, intelligence, gentleness, loyal and ease with children. The lab, as they are affectionately known, was bred for the superior game retrieval instincts, as well as to provide superior companionship, which has made them great family pets and hunting buddies. A Labrador Retriever named Patty saved her owner from drowning, and possibly hypothermia after their boat capsized in freezing waters. Patty swam an unknown distance through a strong current, with her owner holding on to her tail, to get them to the safety of dry land where they waited to be rescued. 6. Brittany Description Developed in the Brittany province of France in the 1800s, the Brittany is a hunting/gun breed that was originally bred for bird hunting. Brittanies are noted for being easy to train, sensitive and sweet natured. Their size and loveable nature have made the Brittany an increasingly popular family and companion pet to have. Story of Loyalty In the middle of the night, a couple was awoken by their Brittany, Cooper’s barks. Upon looking out of a window, Cooper’s owners saw that both of their vehicles had caught fire and were burning in their driveway. The flames got dangerously close to spreading to the house through a tree in between the drive and the house itself. The family believes that Cooper saved their lives! 7. Boxer Description The Boxer is a breed developed in Germany and originally used as a hunting dog on the large wild game. Its powerful jaws and bite allowed it hold down boars and deer until the hunters arrived. Boxers are energetic, fun loving, extremely loyal, and low maintenance. They are harmless around family members but can be wary of strangers. This makes them good watchdogs, as they often will alert their owners when there is a stranger near their home. These faithful and affectionate dogs love to be outdoors. Story of Loyalty After somehow falling off of a 200-foot cliff, Roxy, a Boxer, waited for eight days with her owner, who was killed by the fall. Upon being located, it took the man’s daughter several attempts to get the dog to leave her owner’s side.

Mom goes out and you are with your friends Home Alone is a series of American Christmas family comedy films originally created by John Hughes, and directed by Chris Columbus (1 and 2), Raja Gosnell (3), Rod Daniel (4), Peter Hewitt (5), and Dan Mazer (6).

He is the youngest of five children who is frequently tormented by his older brothers and sisters.

Kevin makes it seem like the house is not empty and fills the house with a collection of homemade booby traps. Kevin manages to trap the bandits and they get arrested, just as his family return home.

At the same time, four international spies working for a North Korean terrorist group are sent by their boss to retrieve a top-secret microchip that can act as a cloaking device for a missile. They succeed in retrieving it and hide it in a remote controlled car, but due to a luggage mix-up at the airport with the Pruitts' neighbor Mrs. Hess, the car lands in the hands of Alex who is given the car for shoveling the snow in her driveway. The burglars begin systematically searching every house on his street. Once they realize that he has the chip, they prepare to invade his house. He devises elaborate traps and bamboozles the four crooks with the help of his pet rat, his brother's pet parrot and some intricate tripwires, all the while monitoring them with a video camera on the race car. The film was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Remake or Sequel, eventually losing the award to Speed 2: Cruise Control.

This video is for entertainment purposes only, Plz don't take it seriously Armie Hammer was a trending topic a few weeks ago when he posted a video of his son sucking on his toes, which was ew but not necessarily sexual. “Kids go through an oral phase,” adds Carol Queen, PhD, sexologist at Good Vibrations. Just think about all the “CHOKING HAZARD” labels on things—kids will legit put anything in their mouths. “When a kid starts chowing on your toes, it doesn’t even mean you are glimpsing their future as a kinkster. So going off as though an adult is doing something inappropriate may mean that the observer is overlaying a sexual shame—and shaming—response onto something where there isn’t any sex,” Queen says. more than dipped our you-know-whats into The Summer of Toe Suck, thanks to a bunch of recent celeb news that touches upon the taboo-but-more-popular-than-you’d-think subject. While it might seem totally salacious and perhaps ick, toe sucking is a lot more nuanced than you’d think. And yes, while toe sucking *can* fall into the foot fetish category, it’s also popular enough as a stand-alone sex act that anyone can experiment with. If you have ever wanted to try it out or are just curious about the schematics of toe sucking, here are some things to know. A more vanilla approach to shrimping could stem from just wanting to pleasure and enjoy all of their partner’s body...whereas “foot worship” is a step beyond that and a consensual way of one person being subservient to another, explains Queen. When it comes to toe play, “some people DO think this is a ‘low’ sort of activity and a form of abasement,” Queen says. “But it doesn’t have to be. Dom/sub players are always looking for sexy abasement things to do, while everyone else is all, ‘We both have feet, that makes us equal.’ It just depends on your kink!” Basically, toe sucking is only kinky if you want it to be about power exchange, otherwise, totally cool to just treat it like any other body part or erogenous zone.

Why cat's are so intelligent you will find in this video: The first time Nutan scooped her cat, Chica, into her arms, she realised she’d reached a stage in her life where she’d become responsible. In the past, medical researchers thought that owning a cat could actually cause schizophrenia. This is because cat faeces can carry a microorganism called Toxoplasma gondii, which infects a large minority of humans without them knowing it or showing any symptoms. Studies on rodents infected with T. gondii show it affects behaviour, hence the connection between the same infection and schizophrenia in humans. Nutan has herself been diagnosed with schizophrenia, but now new research rejects the schizophrenia link. Instead there’s a growing body of literature that says owning a cat can have a positive effect on your mental health. Not only can a pet stave off loneliness, but also lower blood pressure and bring affection back into your life. Nutan, a self-proclaimed “Londoner exiled in Glasgow”, supports this growing body of evidence and says: “I’ve never had a child in my life and I hear people say it comes to a stage where if you can look after a pet and give it a loving home, then you could bring a child into the world. “The first time I held Chica, my cat, she was that barometer. I was a bachelorette living alone and managing a severe mental illness, and my sister gave Chica to me as a present after one of quite a few hospital stays. I named my kitty Chica after a dear friend and she brought me a lot of relief.” The benefits of being responsible Nutan believes Chica is good for her in a number of ways, not just because the frequency of her purring – on a similar frequency to ‘Om’, the Hindu mantra Nutan grew up with – lowers Nutan’s heart rate. “In terms of my mental health, being a cat owner gives me another persona to the different diagnoses psychiatrists label me with. I own a cat and it’s become a part of my identity. It feels like the psychiatric diagnoses can be left behind. But Chica gives me responsibility too. I’ve got a degree, but I’ve never been a manager of a department because I’ve been in and out of hospital. The idea of being a cat owner and having the responsibility that brings is an honour,” says Nutan.

Dog want to cuddle him: The perfect category for when you’re taking a poopie. For two reasons. One: You won’t sh*t yourself from laughing too hard, and two: you’re (probably) alone when you’re pooping. This is important because these sometimes-goofy, sometimes-lowbrow, always-funny jokes, pictures, and videos can induce mighty fits of laughter. If you’re not careful, your coworkers, teachers, or even your dumb ol’ spouse might think you’re insane. So when they ask you what sound that was in the bathroom, just say it was you straining. the dog is man’s best friend, the title of internet’s best friend belongs to the cat. From the early aughts of YouTube to the beginnings of social media, cats have been among the most ubiquitous icons and some of the very first memes. The cranky-looking Grumpy Cat and childlike Lil Bub, both of whom left us last year, are shining examples of this furry fascination.

Floating river: The river, which served as a stormwater drain and would drain away excess rainwater around the city into the Arabian Sea, has been blocked with sewage and waste. This led to the Mumbai deluge in 2005, too. However, 16 years down the line, nothing much has changed on the ground for the Mithi river. “Huhtamaki funding enabled us to complete two of the three parts of our journey of transforming plastic waste into a resource, with the positive engagement of affected communities," says Anssi Mikola, CEO and founder, RiverRecycle.

Historically, surfing dogs have been documented as occurring as early as the 1920s in the United States. Competitions and exhibitions that feature surfing dogs have occurred in various coastal areas of the United States,[1][2][3] such as Del Mar, California,[4] Imperial Beach, California and Jupiter, Florida. Dog surfing involves dogs that are trained to surf on surfboards or bodyboards,[5] either alone[1][6] or with a human on the board.[7] Some dogs have been trained to ride a skimboard on the shore (after the board is initially skimmed by a human) and to windsurf with a human,[8] and bodysurfing dogs have also been documented in surfing media. Dog surfing has been documented as occurring in the 1920s in California and Hawaii.[9] In the 1930s, a silent film titled On The Waves in Waikiki depicts Phillip K. Auna and Night Hawk, his terrier, surfing together on a wooden surfboard in Hawaii.[10] The terrier was able to perform the hang ten surfing maneuver on the surfboard.[10] In 1944, a full page image of a surfing dog named "Rusty" was published in National Geographic magazine.[5] In the 1950s, UPI published a photograph of Joseph "Scooter Boy" Kaopuiki and his dog Sandy surfing in Hawaii, which was published in newspapers throughout the United States.[5] During this time, they were also reported about on the television show You Asked For It!.[5] Dave Chalmers and his surfing terrier mix named Max, both from San Diego, California, were featured in several forms of media in the late 1970s through the 1980s, including surf movies and a television appearance on the show Amazing Animals. A Labrador Retriever named Cam was documented in Honolulu, Hawaii surfing partially lying down while simultaneously drinking from a bottle of beer.

Elephant: Elephants are the largest land mammals on earth and have distinctly massive bodies, large ears, and long trunks. They use their trunks to pick up objects, trumpet warnings, greet other elephants, or suck up water for drinking or bathing, among other uses. Both male and female African elephants grow tusks and each individual can either be left- or right-tusked, and the one they use more is usually smaller because of wear and tear. Elephant tusks serve many purposes. These extended teeth can be used to protect the elephant's trunk, lift and move objects, gather food, and strip bark from trees. They can also be used for defense. During times of drought, elephants even use their tusks to dig holes to find water underground. Two genetically different African species exist: the savanna elephant and the forest elephant, with a number of characteristics that differentiate them both. The African savanna elephant is the largest elephant species, while the Asian forest elephant and the African forest elephant are of a comparable, smaller size. Asian elephants differ in several ways from their African relatives, with more than 10 distinct physical differences between them. For example, Asian elephants' ears are smaller compared to the large fan-shaped ears of the African species. Only some male Asian elephants have tusks, while both male and female African elephants grow tusks. Led by a matriarch, elephants are organized into complex social structures of females and calves, while male elephants tend to live in isolation or in small bachelor groups. A single calf is born to a female once every four to five years and after a gestation period of 22 months—the longest of any mammal. Calves are cared for by the entire herd of related females. Female calves may stay with their maternal herd for the rest of their lives, while males leave the herd as they reach puberty. Forest elephants' social groups differ slightly and may be comprised of only an adult female and her offspring. However, they may congregate in larger groups in forest clearings where resources are more abundant. Elephants need extensive land areas to survive and meet their ecological needs, which includes food, water, and space. On average, an elephant can feed up to 18 hours and consume hundreds of pounds of plant matter in a single day. As a result, as they lose habitat, they often come into conflict with people in competition for resources.

Yellow fish: The yellow tang (Zebrasoma flavescens) is a saltwater fish species of the family Acanthuridae. It is one of the most popular marine aquarium fish. It is bright yellow in color, and it lives in reefs. The yellow tang spawn around a full moon. The yellow tang eats algae. The yellow tang has a white barb, located just before the tail fin, to protect itself. Adult fish can grow to 20 centimetres (7.9 in) in length, and 1–2 centimetres (0.39–0.79 in) in thickness. Adult males tend to be larger than females. Yellow tangs are bright yellow in color. At night, the yellow coloring fades slightly, and a prominent brownish patch develops in the middle with a horizontal white band. They rapidly regain their bright yellow color during daylight. They can be aggressive, are prone to marine ich, and may damage coral within a reef tank. Male and female yellow tang look very similar. When mating, however, males change color and have a "shimmering" behavior which makes them identifiable. [6] The yellow tang has 5 dorsal spines along with 23-26 dorsal soft rays. The yellow tang also has 3 anal spines as well as 19-22 anal soft rays. There is a white spine on its caudal peduncle that it can use for defense. Its snout is moderately protruding. Its mouth is small with spatulate teeth that are place classed relatively close together inside of the yellow tang’s mouth. In juveniles, there are 12 upper and 14 lower teeth. In adults, there are 18 upper and 22 lower teeth. The yellow tang is a marine fish that lives in reefs. The yellow tang is found by itself or in very small groups/schools. The yellow tang is mainly herbivorous and eats filamentous algae. It is commonly found in shallow reefs, from 2–46 metres (6.6–150.9 ft) deep, in the Pacific Ocean (Ryukyu, Mariana, Marshall, Marcus, Wake, and Hawaiian islands),[3] west of Hawaii and east of Japan. There have also been reports that they have been found off the coast of Florida in the Western Central Atlantic. Their habitat is tropical with a temperature range of 24-28 degrees Celsius.[3] Hawaii is the most common place for aquarium harvesting, where up to 70% of the yellow tangs for the aquarium industry are sourced from.[7] Over 70% of the yellow tang's natural range is protected from collection and fishing.[8] The yellow tang is listed as "Least Concern" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The yellow tang has been recorded in waters around Florida, where it is not native.[

Fish : The term "fish" generally applies to three groups: bony fishes, cartilaginous fishes and the so-called jawless fishes (e.g. lampreys). At present more than 24,000 recent species are known. This makes them by far the largest group within vertebrates: Every second extant vertebrate species is a fish-species. Fish live in nearly all aquatic habitats: in Tibet loaches are found in hot springs at 5,200 m above sea level, in Lake Titicaca - the highest large lake of the world (3,812 m above sea level) - several species of killifishes live, and the deep-sea specialists are to be met as deep as 7,000 m below surface. Besides strictly freshwater or marine fishes we know about 200 species, spending their lives partly in fresh and partly in salt water (e.g. eel, salmon). Some species developed organs for air-breathing which enable them to survive out of water, e.g. in seasonally drying up swamps, and others even undertake regular excursions on dry land (e.g. mudskippers). Fishes are extremely important to man, on the one hand as food (exploitation of natural resources, aquaculture), on the other hand for recreation and leisure activities (game fishing, aquariums). They also serve as indicator species for water pollution. The scientific fish collection Holdings Nearly 1.000,000 alcohol-preserved specimens (c. 150,000 lots) About 1,800 skeletons (mounted or disarticulated on plates). About 2,000 taxidermy specimens. Type collection Some 2,000 species are vouched by type specimens. Some 2,000 species are vouched by type specimens. Special features Material from South America (Natterer, Steindachner); Heckel-, Kner-, Steindachner-types. Use of the scientific collection/Loan of scientific material Examination of our holdings is possible at NHM by arrangement. Because of losses of material and several not-returned specimens in the past no more loans are available. Only tissue samples can be sent by mail by appointment. Catalogue 70 % of the holdings are catalogued on card-index (binary names sorted alphabetically). Special card-indices exist for the skeleton collection, taxidermy specimens and for type specimens. Computer cataloguing has started in 1998.

Tiger: The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus Panthera. It is most recognisable for its dark vertical stripes on orange fur with a white underside. An apex predator, it primarily preys on ungulates such as deer and wild boar. It is territorial and generally a solitary but social predator, requiring large contiguous areas of habitat, which support its requirements for prey and rearing of its offspring. Tiger cubs stay with their mother for about two years, then become independent and leave their mother's home range to establish their own. Tiger The tiger was first scientifically described in 1758 and once ranged widely from the Eastern Anatolia Region in the west to the Amur River basin in the east, and in the south from the foothills of the Himalayas to Bali in the Sunda Islands. Since the early 20th century, tiger populations have lost at least 93% of their historic range and have been extirpated from Western and Central Asia, the islands of Java and Bali, and in large areas of Southeast and South Asia and China. Today, the tiger's range is fragmented, stretching from Siberian temperate forests to subtropical and tropical forests on the Indian subcontinent, Indochina and Sumatra. The tiger is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. As of 2015, the global wild tiger population was estimated to number between 3,062 and 3,948 mature individuals, with most of the populations living in small isolated pockets. India currently hosts the largest tiger population. Major reasons for population decline are habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation and poaching. Tigers are also victims of human–wildlife conflict, particularly in range countries with a high human population density. The tiger is among the most recognisable and popular of the world's charismatic megafauna. It featured prominently in the ancient mythology and folklore of cultures throughout its historic range, and continues to be depicted in modern films and literature, appearing on many flags, coats of arms and as mascots for sporting teams. The tiger is the national animal of India, Bangladesh, Malaysia and South Korea.

Lazy cat: A lazy cat is a special variant of a pet cat, which players gain access to by completing the Ratcatchers quest. After completion, players can speak to Felkrash to have her train their overgrown cat into a wily cat. After a random amount of time, usually under an hour, regardless of the amount of interactions performed, a wily cat will become a lazy cat. Lazy cats can only catch rats, and have around a 41% success rate. Lazy cats can be trained back into wily cats by performing a random amount of interactions with them, which includes playing with the cat with a ball of wool, sending it to chase rats, and stroking it. After completion of Ratcatchers quest, an Overgrown Cat can be trained into a wily cat. When the Wily cat eventually reverts to a Lazy cat, it can be re-transformed into a wily cat through training by catching rats (both normal and Hellcat versions). Players are only allowed to have one wily or lazy cat out or in bank at a time, in addition to one kitten or adult cat, and as many overgrown cats as they wish. You can however have multiple lazy/wily cats by storing them in your menagerie before training another. If, whilst attempting to train your lazy normal/hellcat into a wily cat, the cat does does not seem to transform (it should take about 25 rats), players can pick up their cat and re-drop it to reset the 'training timer', otherwise you could be training your cat for what seems an indefinite time (even hundreds of rats and 1.5hrs+ have been observed without success). After some time, usually under an hour, a wily cat will revert to a Lazy cat. It can then be re-trained into a wily cat. Wily and lazy cats can be named by speaking with Felkrash. The name can be a combination of any six letters or spaces, but no numbers. Note that the name will be used in the RuneScape interface for every wily and lazy cat the player has. Players can store both lazy and wily cats in their menageries. Wily cats will not become lazy while in a menagerie.

Diving into the ocean to see shark: Sharks are a group of elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha (or Selachii) and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term "shark" has also been (incorrectly[2]) used to refer to extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii, which are technically outside the Selachimorpha clade. Notable examples of improper classification include Cladoselache, Xenacanthus, and various other members of the Chondrichthyes class like the holocephalid eugenedontidans. Under this broader definition, the earliest known sharks date back to more than 420 million years ago.[3] Acanthodians are often referred to as "spiny sharks"; though they are not part of Chondrichthyes proper, they are a paraphyletic assemblage leading to cartilaginous fish as a whole. Since then, sharks have diversified into over 500 species. They range in size from the small dwarf lanternshark (Etmopterus perryi), a deep sea species that is only 17 centimetres (6.7 in) in length, to the whale shark (Rhincodon typus), the largest fish in the world, which reaches approximately 12 metres (40 ft) in length.[4] Sharks are found in all seas and are common to depths up to 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). They generally do not live in freshwater, although there are a few known exceptions, such as the bull shark and the river shark, which can be found in both seawater and freshwater.[5] Sharks have a covering of dermal denticles that protects their skin from damage and parasites in addition to improving their fluid dynamics. They have numerous sets of replaceable teeth.[6] Several species are apex predators, which are organisms that are at the top of their food chain. Select examples include the tiger shark, blue shark, great white shark, mako shark, thresher shark, and hammerhead shark. Sharks are caught by humans for shark meat or shark fin soup. Many shark populations are threatened by human activities. Since 1970, shark populations have been reduced by 71%, mostly from overfishing.

Whale caught on camere : Whales are a widely distributed and diverse group of fully aquatic placental marine mammals. They are an informal grouping within the infraorder Cetacea, which usually excludes dolphins and porpoises. Whales, dolphins and porpoises belong to the order Cetartiodactyla, which consists of even-toed ungulates. Their closest non-cetacean living relatives are the hippopotamuses, from which they and other cetaceans diverged about 54 million years ago. The two parvorders of whales, baleen whales (Mysticeti) and toothed whales (Odontoceti), are thought to have had their last common ancestor around 34 million years ago. Whales consist of eight extant families: Balaenopteridae (the rorquals), Balaenidae (right whales), Cetotheriidae (the pygmy right whale), Eschrichtiidae (the grey whale), Monodontidae (belugas and narwhals), Physeteridae (the sperm whale), Kogiidae (the dwarf and pygmy sperm whale), and Ziphiidae (the beaked whales). Whales are fully aquatic, open-ocean creatures: they can feed, mate, give birth, suckle and raise their young at sea. Whales range in size from the 2.6 metres (8.5 ft) and 135 kilograms (298 lb) dwarf sperm whale to the 29.9 metres (98 ft) and 190 metric tons (210 short tons) blue whale, which is the largest known creature that has ever lived. The sperm whale is the largest toothed predator on earth. Several whale species exhibit sexual dimorphism, in that the females are larger than males. Baleen whales have no teeth; instead they have plates of baleen, fringe-like structures that enable them to expel the huge mouthfuls of water they take in, while retaining the krill and plankton they feed on. Because their heads are enormous—making up as much as 40% of their total body mass—and they have throat pleats that enable then to expand their mouths, they are able to take huge quantities of water into their mouth at a time. Baleen whales also have a well developed sense of smell. Toothed whales, in contrast, have conical teeth adapted to catching fish or squid. They also have such keen hearing—whether above or below the surface of the water—that some can survive even if they are blind. Some species, such as sperm whales, are particularly well adapted for diving to great depths to catch squid and other favoured prey. Whales evolved from land-living mammals, and must regularly surface to breathe air, although they can remain under water for long periods of time. Some species, such as the sperm whale can stay underwater for up to 90 minutes [1] They have blowholes (modified nostrils) located on top of their heads, through which air is taken in and expelled. They are warm-blooded, and have a layer of fat, or blubber, under the skin. With streamlined fusiform bodies and two limbs that are modified into flippers, whales can travel at speeds of up to 20 knots, though they are not as flexible or agile as seals. Whales produce a great variety of vocalizations, notably the extended songs of the humpback whale. Although whales are widespread, most species prefer the colder waters of the northern and southern hemispheres, and migrate to the equator to give birth. Species such as humpbacks and blue whales are capable of travelling thousands of miles without feeding. Males typically mate with multiple females every year, but females only mate every two to three years. Calves are typically born in the spring and summer; females bear all the responsibility for raising them. Mothers in some species fast and nurse their young for one to two years. Once relentlessly hunted for their products, whales are now protected by international law. The North Atlantic right whales nearly became extinct in the twentieth century, with a population low of 450, and the North Pacific grey whale population is ranked Critically Endangered by the IUCN. Besides the threat from whalers, they also face threats from bycatch and marine pollution. The meat, blubber and baleen of whales have traditionally been used by indigenous peoples of the Arctic. Whales have been depicted in various cultures worldwide, notably by the Inuit and the coastal peoples of Vietnam and Ghana, who sometimes hold whale funerals. Whales occasionally feature in literature and film. A famous example is the great white whale in Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick. Small whales, such as belugas, are sometimes kept in captivity and trained to perform tricks, but breeding success has been poor and the animals often die within a few months of capture. Whale watching has become a form of tourism around the world.

Dog enjoying the view : The dog or domestic dog (Canis familiaris[4][5] or Canis lupus familiaris[5]) is a domesticated descendant of the wolf which is characterized by an upturning tail. The dog derived from an ancient, extinct wolf,[6][7] and the modern grey wolf is the dog's nearest living relative.[8] The dog was the first species to be domesticated,[9][8] by hunter–gatherers over 15,000 years ago,[7] before the development of agriculture.

They perform many roles for humans, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and the military, companionship, therapy, and aiding disabled people. This influence on human society has given them the sobriquet of "man's best friend."

Cat: The cat is similar in anatomy to the other felid species: it has a strong flexible body, quick reflexes, sharp teeth and retractable claws adapted to killing small prey. Its night vision and sense of smell are well developed. Cat communication includes vocalizations like meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling and grunting as well as cat-specific body language. A predator that is most active at dawn and dusk (crepuscular), the cat is a solitary hunter but a social species. It can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small mammals.[7] Cats also secrete and perceive pheromones.[8] Female domestic cats can have kittens from spring to late autumn, with litter sizes often ranging from two to five kittens.[9] Domestic cats are bred and shown at events as registered pedigreed cats, a hobby known as cat fancy. Population control of cats may be effected by spaying and neutering, but their proliferation and the abandonment of pets has resulted in large numbers of feral cats worldwide, contributing to the extinction of entire bird, mammal, and reptile species.[10] Cats were first domesticated in the Near East around 7500 BC.[11] It was long thought that cat domestication began in ancient Egypt, where cats were venerated from around 3100 BC.[12][13] As of 2021, there are an estimated 220 million owned and 480 million stray cats in the world.[14][15] As of 2017, the domestic cat was the second-most popular pet in the United States, with 95 million cats owned.[16][17][18] In the United Kingdom, 26% of adults have a cat with an estimated population of 10.9 million pet cats as of 2020.

Under water life : Only about 2% of known marine species inhabit the pelagic environment. This means that they live in the water column as opposed to the benthic organisms that live in or on the sea floor.[1] Deep-sea organisms generally inhabit bathypelagic (1000–4000m deep) and abyssopelagic (4000–6000m deep) zones. However, characteristics of deep-sea organisms, such as bioluminescence can be seen in the mesopelagic (200–1000m deep) zone as well. The mesopelagic zone is the disphotic zone, meaning light there is minimal but still measurable. The oxygen minimum layer exists somewhere between a depth of 700m and 1000m deep depending on the place in the ocean. This area is also where nutrients are most abundant. The bathypelagic and abyssopelagic zones are aphotic, meaning that no light penetrates this area of the ocean. These zones make up about 75% of the inhabitable ocean space.[2] The epipelagic zone (0–200m) is the area where light penetrates the water and photosynthesis occurs. This is also known as the photic zone. Because this typically extends only a few hundred meters below the water, the deep sea, about 90% of the ocean volume, is in darkness. The deep sea is also an extremely hostile environment, with temperatures that rarely exceed 3 °C (37.4 °F) and fall as low as −1.8 °C (28.76 °F) (with the exception of hydrothermal vent ecosystems that can exceed 350 °C, or 662 °F), low oxygen levels, and pressures between 20 and 1,000 atmospheres (between 2 and 100 megapascals).

Little monkey enjoying with his family: Many monkey species are tree-dwelling (arboreal), although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as baboons. Most species are mainly active during the day (diurnal). Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent, especially the Old World monkeys. Simians and tarsiers, the two members of the suborder Haplorhini, emerged some 60 million years ago. New World monkeys and catarrhine monkeys emerged within the simians some 35 million years ago. Old World monkeys and apes emerged within the catarrhine monkeys some 25 million years ago. Extinct basal simians such as Aegyptopithecus or Parapithecus [35–32 million years ago] are also considered monkeys by primatologists.[3][4][5][6][7] Lemurs, lorises, and galagos are not monkeys; instead they are strepsirrhine primates (suborder Strepsirrhini). The simians' sister group, the tarsiers are also haplorhine primates; however, they are also not monkeys. Apes emerged within "monkeys" as sister of the Cercopithecidae in the Catarrhini, so cladistically they are monkeys as well. There has been resistance to directly designate apes (and thus humans) as monkeys, so "Old World monkey" may be taken to mean either the Cercopithecoidea (not including apes) or the Catarrhini (including apes). That apes are monkeys was already realized by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in the 18th century. Monkeys, including apes, can be distinguished from other primates by having only two pectoral nipples, a pendulous penis, and a lack of sensory whiskers.
