Goose fends itself from bully cows
One lonely goose gives tough competition to a herd of angry cows in a video going viral online. Social media users can’t stop cheering the brave bird that took on a bunch of cows and stood its ground even as they tried to intimidate it.
In the video, the black and brown bird – identified by the Daily Mail as a Canadian goose – stands surrounded by a herd of aggressive cows. The cows appear to take turns in taunting the goose, charging at it repeatedly. The little brave goose, however, stands its ground defiantly and refuses to give in to its bullies, even nipping a cow’s head and flapping its wings courageously in the face of imminent danger. Many in the comments section hailed the heroic goose. “I want to be as bold as this bird,” wrote one person in the comments section. “The power of courage,” said another, while a third added: “Hilarious! Brave bird.”
A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
