Near Hudson Lake in Manitoba, German wildlife photographer Norbert Rosing spotted a polar bear coming near his sled dogs. He took pictures of what he thought would be the end of his dogs.
Apparently the bear came back every night for a week to play with the dogs.

Enchanting Island of Aogashima (Japan).
The island of Aogashima lies in the Philippine Sea about 350 kms (200 miles) south of Japan.
One of the things that makes this a very cool place is the fact that it is actually a volcano within a volcano! There are just over 200 people living on the island, and although it is classed as an “active” volcano, it hasn’t erupted since 1785.

The Akhal-Teke is a horse breed from Turkmenistan,where they are a national emblem. They are noted for their speed and for endurance on long marches. These “golden-horses” are adapted to severe climatic conditions and are thought to be one of the oldest surviving horse breeds. There are currently about 3,500 Akhal-Tekes in the world, mostly in Turkmenistan and Russia, although they are also found throughout Europe, Australia, and North America.
They look more like a unicorn or from some kind of fantasy anime.
