Brave Mantis Shows Some Kung-Fu Skills While Fighting the Dog


Here is a pretty interesting photo-story which can’t be seen every day. This story will show you mantises are very brave creature, despite their physical construction does not give them any reason to be brave.

This little dog has stepped out on the way of one little mantis. Little mantis didn’t want any trouble but that stupid dog continued to provoke him, so he asked him nicely to leave him alone. Dog refused and continued to push mantis so this little but brave insect had only one choice. To fight that dog and show him some super-cool kung-fu skills.
However, fight lasted for couple of minutes. Mantis punched the dog pretty good a few times but that beast of dog finally managed to bring little brave mantis to the ground thanks to it’s weight rather than its skills.
Now little mantis is served as a lunch for that dog but that is some other story which could be told some other time…

Dogs really love to eat everything, don’t they?

We all know that dogs love to chew on almost anything, but some of them tend to swallow the items they are playing with. These pictures are showing X-rays of all the crazy things that dogs have managed to get down their throats.

The most swallowed item seems to be socks, but there are also other things that can be found – everything from little plastic toys, coins, pencils, to expensive jewelries and even sharp kitchen knives.

This Dalmatian collie ate a plastic Homer Simpson toy. She got it fortunately removed by a surgery that went well.

Other pets are also guilty for having swallowed strange objects, like a snake that tried to eat a golf ball, or a cat that accidentally ate a needle.

Speaking of looking inside an animal’s body, these embryonic photographs are showing the baby animals that lies inside the wombs.

Who would have thought that dumpsters could be so much fun


dumpster-living-roomBritish design graduate Oliver Bishop-Young has come up with an urban art project, called the SkipWaste project, where dumpsters are used in a fun and different way. They are no longer used for trash, but for activities and other amazing art installations. You have dumpsters that work as either a skate ramp, a lawn, a flower bed, a pool, or even a cozy living room.

They appeal to everybody, both the younger and the older. It’s a great way to get people out on the streets enjoying the fun that the dumpsters are giving.

Others have also used simple objects to create urban art, like the four Australian friends that created a huge “Lego Man” out of ordinary milk crates.

Animals hanging from bridge to rise global warming awareness


london-bridge-penguin-and-p
Under the Millennium Bridge in London there have been spotted two glass penguins and a stuffed polar bear hanging with ropes around their necks. The whole idea of doing so is to make people more aware of the global climate change that the earth is going through.

The artist, Vincent J.F. Huang, that made this “protest” wanted to symbolize the man’s assault to the nature and the environment. The hanging toy animals have drawn a lot of attention from bystanders and hopefully it has given them something to think about.

Several other artists are aware of the environment changes and are trying to influent through their art, like this artist who used grass to create eco friendly animal “graffiti”.
