This is the moment a pride of hungry lions had to turn on their tails and flee after the herd of buffalo they were eyeing up for dinner gave chase. Wildlife photographer Brendon Cremer captured the scene on Duba island, Botswana.

Adorable Maned Wolf Pups That Will Eventually Grow Up to be Vicious Beasts Need Names: DCist

Two of the National Zoo’s adorable (for now) maned wolf pups that were born in January need names, and the zoo is again leaving the decision up to the public. Yesterday the zoo announced that it would open voting on four proposed names for two of the four pups on its Facebook page. The female pup could be Bela, Estrella, Pinga, or Terra; the male could be Canastra, Cerrado, Rocko, or Timido. Currently, Bella and Rocko are leading in votes. 

Personally, I’d vote for Grey Wind and ShaggyDog, but what do I know?

"A neighbor has stalked Edna Geisler for two months. He lurks in her front yard, screeching at her constantly, even jumping out occasionally and attacking her when she dares wander outside alone. “I’m afraid to go out of my house,” said Geisler, 69. “I have to go to the post office at 6 o’clock in the morning to avoid him.” …Her stalker is a large, mature, tom turkey who believes Geisler’s front yard in Commerce Township is his. Geisler said she calls him Godzilla. Each day about 7 a.m. he wanders in, coming from nearby woods on state land behind Geisler’s home, where a flock of wild turkeys live. Usually, he returns to the woods about 7 p.m."

With video: Godzilla the wild turkey stalks Commerce Township woman. It’s definitely Friday.  (via ilyagerner)
