‘Zonkeys’ exist, and they’re amazing

Image
A zoo in Mexico has welcomed into the world a ‘zonkey’: a rare cross between a zebra and a donkey. Named Khumba, the hybrid animal seen in the video was born on April 21 at Reynosa zoo, in the north-eastern state of Tamaulipas. Khumba’s mother is a zebra called Rayas, whilst the father is a dwarf, blue-eyed albino donkey named Ignacio that lives on a nearby farm. According to the zoo, Khumba is a rare case in the animal world because the zebra and donkey chromosomes are not compatible.

New bride ends up in hospital after ‘two hour orgasm’

Image
This woman’s husband was pretty proud of himself after giving her a two hour orgasm – although she was slightly less impressed. A video of the new bride in hospital, in which she was seen twitching uncontrollably, was shared on YouTube. She was finding it tough to speak as each sentence was being interrupted by a climax. She had reportedly been having orgasms for more than a couple of hours after having sex with her husband, who was recording the clip. ‘For the first 10 minutes I was like, this is awesome but now it’s exhausting,’ she is heard telling the doctor. ‘This is so embarrassing. I will never forget this.’ Her husband seemed pleased with himself though and added: ‘She asked me to do this!’ Doctors gave the woman valium to ease her orgasms.

Releasing 1.5 Million Balloons Into The Air Is A Bad Idea

Image
With the best of intentions, Tom Holowach set out to create a massive spectacle. As Gizmodo reports,  Holowach was the mastermind behind Cleveland, Ohio's Balloon Fest on September 27, 1986. Holowach explained his role in a Q&A this week: I was the Project Manager for this event. I worked on it for 6 months and lived in Cleveland for a month preparing for it. We had to design a structure this filled a city square and could stand up to 90 MPH winds, which was building code. The one-piece net was fabricated by the exact company I found in So Cal who built the cargo nets for the Space Shuttle. Kids in schools "sold" balloon sponsorships at 2 for a dollar that went to United Way. The goal was 2 million but we stopped at 1.4 + million. Though the event was a spectacle, as can be seen from the photos below, Balloon Fest ended in tragedy. As Viral Forest explains,  a storm moved  in and forced all of the balloons back over the city. Two fisherman whose boat ...

Incredible video of daredevil duo jumping from world’s tallest building

Image
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s just two crazy men jumping off the world’s tallest building. Armed just with parachutes, Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet are videoed breaking the world record for the highest base jump in a death-defying plunge from the 2,717-foot-high Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Others have jumped from the skyscraper, roughly twice the height of the Empire State Building, before but Fugen and Reffet got an extra 500ft by jumping off a temporary platform placed on top of the building’s pinnacle. The pair told Gulf News: ‘We feel happy for breaking the world record, but it wasn’t the main goal. ‘We’ve been dreaming about base jumping from this special place, this unique place, for three years now.’

Amazing footage of a bridge shifting up to six feet by river of ice boulders

Image
The power of nature never ceases to amaze. Next time you grumble about the drizzle in this country, spare a thought for those living in much colder climes. This fast-flowing river of ice in New Brunswick, Canada, was so powerful it moved a bridge up to six feet.   Ice boulders fill the water as is flows under a bridge. However, there is so much of it that it soon blocks all available space and forces the structure to move. The person who shot the footage and uploaded it to YouTube claims the bridge shifted between three and six feet.

Are you my daddy? Meet Ponzu and Ichimi the adorable dog and cat who behave like father and daughter

Image
  When Ichimi the kitten was rejected by her mother, Ponzu the golden retriever and his owner Jessiepon took her in and have begun nursing her back to full health. Ichimi has taken very well to her guardian Ponzu – the two play together all the time, and Ponzu even cleans and sleeps together with Ichimi. Judging by the pictures on Jessiepon’s Instagram account, Ichimi is growing stronger by the day. Ichimi has provided Ponzu a much-needed respite from his heartbreak after Wasabi, a kitten that Ponzu and Jessiepon rescued from a crow attack, died in August. Now, Ponzu has a new kitten to care for. Believe it or not, but inter-species animal friendships, especially with paternal relationships like in this case, aren’t very rare at all. A post we published recently about beautiful animal friendships shows us that animals of all colors shapes and sizes can get along just fine – a lesson that we’d do well to learn also!
