"Yesterday I witnessed something that took my breath away. I heard a sound at the window of the cottage. When I looked, a cedar waxwing had hit the window and fallen to the deck. It’s mate stood beside it. It was clear that the fallen bird was dead. I turned away for a moment and when I looked again, it’s mate had hopped over. It lay down beside its partner, their heads touching. It closed its eyes and passed over to Spirit with its mate. The sadness and beauty of the moment was such a privilege to witness. If anyone has ever doubted that animals feel emotion and love, this moment was absolute proof of both. Nature truly has much to teach us." - Janis Mirynech |
"The owner of this cow heard dogs barking at night; so he put down a camera and discovered this incredible sight. The leopard comes to greet the cow every night and licks the cow's head. The man talked to the previous owner of the cow; He later learned that the leopard's mother had died when he was 20 days old, and that the cow had fed the leopard with its milk. Since then, the leopard thinks it's the cow's mother. And every day he comes to see her at night." - Juan Ramon Vega |
