When you get hundreds of reindeers together and try to move them around, they turn into one gigantic sentient-seeming swarm that spins around together. This footage, taken from above with a drone by photographer Jan Helmer Olsen, shows the stunning spirals that are created when herding reindeers. It’s got to be dizzying for them.

Don’t worry, the seal was just a decoy. But the breaching great white shark attack was real. The Great White comes at the seal at such a high speed (up to 25mph) that it launches itself and the seal decoy it caught out of the ocean and into the air. It’s beautifully fierce, isn’t it?

Meet Boneco, the world’s first beekeeping donkey. He lives in Brazil and helps his owner, Manuel Juraci, make honey. Boneco also does not appear to like his beekeeping suit. But boy does he look adorable while wearing it.

Hey Mister Man, what are you doing filming us with that camera over there. Hey Mister Man, I don’t appreciate you tempting me with food to trick me into dancing like a monkey. Hey Mister Man, that’s it, I’m stealing your camera. That’s—I’m assuming—what went through the head of this funny little monkey in Bali who nabbed a guy’s GoPro camera, tossed it around, pointed it at itself for some hilarious selfies, pried the case open and removed the GoPro’s battery to the horror of the camera’s owner (and to the enjoyment for the rest of us).

Awwwww, look at these little alien angels dancing and moving their tiny feet. They are so cute! Too bad they’re really trying to destroy that aquarium glass to rip your throat and suck all your blood through the aorta.

Let this be your cautionary tale against building a pretty waterfront park on a landfill. At Cesar Chavez Park on the Berkeley Marina, squirrels and gophers are burrowing through old trash, turning the ground into toxin-leaching swiss cheese. Poison from the estimated 1.9 million tons of residential, commercial, and industrial waste is now leaching into the San Francisco Bay.

If you and your dog are trekkies, you may have some silly Star Trek pet items around your place already. A new Trek-inspired pet product has surfaced that looks like Captain Kirk’s seat from the original series.
This captain’s chair pet bed is much cooler than the transporter dog bed we talked about last year. The pet bed is suitable for dogs, cats, and little kids if they are so inclined. The bed features embroidered details on the arms and back of the chair. Should your captain dog happen to go number one on the bed during a close call with some Klingons (cats), the innards come out for washing.
The bed measures 32″ W x 27″ L x 6.5″ thick and the cushion itself is 5″ thick. The bed looks cool and should be comfortable for your pet as well. The Star Trek Captain’s Chair Pet Bed is available from ThinkGeek for $79.99(USD) right now.
During the Cold War, the British military proposed placing nuclear land mines throughout the North German Plain to ensnare Soviet troops if they invaded. But how could they keep the bombs at the right temperature underground? Enter the idea of live chickens, which, if supplied with feed, could warm mines for about a week at a time. The project was scrapped—but the proposal was very real.

Finland is a dangerous place for reindeer to be in the winter. In a place where it’s dark most of the day, these beasts blend in with their surroundings, making it hard for drivers to see them. So Finnish herders are getting creative.
