Puppy Accidentally Nicked Host’s Chin

I found this video over Digg.com about a puppy that accidentally nicked the host’s chin, namely Lester Holts during a live broadcast of Today’s show. The puppy also ripped the female host’s pantyhose.

Here is the video:

Nothing aggressive about the puppy. Doesnt seem to have the intention to nick the host’s chin. It could have been he forgot to have a manicure before the show begun. Sharp claws you know…

Well, our score: Puppy 1 vs. Host’s O.

LOL.

The Fantastic Lyre Bird

Sir David Attenborough is one of my favorites in Animal Planet. I have found one of this fantastic video clips of his show over YouTube.

The bird in this clip is called  a  lyre bird. Here are some of the information about this fantastic bird from South Australia (courtesy of Wikipedia):

A Lyrebird is either of two species of ground-dwelling Australian birds, most notable for their superb ability to mimic natural and artificial sounds from their environment. Lyrebirds have extraordinary plumes of neutral coloured tailfeathers.

Lyrebirds are among Australia’s best-known native birds, even though they are rarely seen in their natural habitat. As well as their extraordinary mimicking ability, lyrebirds are notable because of the striking beauty of the male bird’s huge tail when it is fanned out in display; and also because of their courtship display.

There are two species of Lyre bird: the superb lyre bird and the Albert’s lyre bird. In the video clip shown above, the lyre bird there is the superb lyre bird. These birds are known for their superb mimicry. What I found ironic or perhaps, saddening in the clip is that the male lyre bird imitates the sound of car alarm, camera shutter and chainsaw – an indication of human encroachment into his habitat. According to Sir David Attenborough, the lyre bird in the video imitated the sounds that he had found in his already vanishing habitat. Well, you can hear chainsaws in the parts of the forest where trees are felled right? Tsk.

Fun Cats

Cats, by nature, are sweet and curious animals. They have been the subject of animations and all sorts of cartoons. Garfield is one such famous and funny cat. We can remember his funny antics with John and Odie. Today, I will share to you this funny cat video that I have found over Digg.com.

Click here for the video.

After seeing the video, you might want to see this one. This is another funny cat video that I have found over YouTube, entitled, Simon’s Cat: Cat Man Do. Check the video below:

Well, just like dogs, cats are also fun to be with and sometimes, may appear funnier than the dogs.

Have a great day folks. Till my next post!
