UNBEARABLE PET

A real teddy bear

I recieved a very interesting email the other day, however, there was little information describing these awesome pics. The only info I can share with you is that the photos depicts the relationship between a man and his pet grizzly bear in Alaska. While stroling, the man came across two bear cubs alongside their dead mother. Only one cub survived the ordeal and the man managed to raise the fierce animal to maturity.

In the photo's you can see how the family interacts with the bear which is obviously very tame (it prabably does not know that it is a bear). Look at the size he has grown to. Notice the honored guest at Thanksgiving dinner – it is clear clear that he is part of the family. He's housebroken, very gentle and comes and goes as he desires.
Enjoy the pics!

NEVER SEEN BEFORE FOOTAGE: Leopard vs. croc







A series of incredible pictures taken at a South African game reserve document the first known time that a leopard has taken on and defeated a croc. The photographs were taken by Hal Brindley, an American wildlife photographer, who was supposed to be taking pictures of hippos from his car in the Kruger National Park. The giant cat raced out of cover provided by scrub and bushes to surprise the crocodile, which was swimming nearby. A terrible and bloody struggle ensued. Eventually, onlookers were amazed to see the leopard drag the crocodile from the water as the reptile fought back. With the crocodile snapping its powerful jaws furiously, the two animals somersaulted and grappled. Despite the crocodile's huge weight and strength, the leopard had the upper hand catching its prey by the throat. Eventually the big cat was able to sit on top of the reptile and suffocate it. In the past, there have been reports of crocodiles killing leopards, but this is believed to the first time that the reverse scenario has been observed.
