One of them got close to the tiger
A video showing a bunch of people getting too close to a tiger in order to take pictures with the wild animal is gaining traction on the internet.
Shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer, Susanta Nanda, on Twitter, the short clip showed a group of men following a tiger trying to cross a forest road. One of them tried to take a selfie with the wild animal without thinking about the consequences.
The tiger was in close proximity and the encounter could have been fatal. However, regardless of the danger, the group of men kept edging closer to the tiger instead of running away.
Fortunately, the wild animal ignored the bunch of men and continued on its way, without causing any harm. However, in the caption, Mr Nanda pointed out that the incident could have gone horribly wrong.
Mr Nanda shared the clip which had since accumulated more than 82,000 views. Internet users slammed the commuters for their irresponsible behaviour.
“How come they have come out from their vehicle and walking in a Tiger Reserve? These people should be glad that it wasn’t looking for meat!” one user wrote. —ndtv.com
An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
