Asyik Minum, Belalai Gajah Digigit Buaya

KOMPAS.com — Selama ini sering terdengar betapa ganasnya macan atau singa Afrika memburu mangsa, seperti kuda, sapi, banteng, kerbau, dan rusa. Atau buaya yang mengintai hewan-hewan sedang minum dekat rawa persembunyiannya.
Tetapi, ada kejadian langka yang tertangkap kamera fotografer amatir bernama Johan Opperman (38) ketika mengunjungi Taman Nasional Kruger di Afrika Selatan. Foto ini dipublikaskan harian The Sun, 28 Oktober 2010.
Dalam foto itu tampak anak gajah sedang asyik meminum air rawa dengan belalainya. Tiba-tiba, muncul buaya besar dari dalam rawa dan langsung menjepit belalai itu dengan gerahamnya yang kuat dan bergigi tajam.
Tarik-menarik antara anak gajah dan buaya berlangsung beberapa saat. Anak gajah pun memiliki tenaga kuat sehingga mampu menarik buaya itu hingga ke daratan batas rawa.
Anak gajah meraung memanggil keluarganya dan tak berapa lama rombongan gajah datang membantu.
Para gajah itu berusaha menyelamatkan anak dengan meraung dan kakinya menginjak badan buaya. Adegan ini mirip seperti pertarungan antara gajah dan buaya.
Karena buaya dikeroyok kawanan gajah dan nyawanya terancam, akhirnya mangsa yang sudah di depan mata itu pun dilepaskannya.
Johan mengatakan, kejadian itu di siang hari dan tidak biasanya buaya berani main-main dengan hewan raksasa ini. Sudah bisa ditebak, buaya gagal makan siang. "Saya anggap ini hal sangat langka dan, setahu saya, buaya tidak biasanya mencoba untuk menangkap gajah," ujar Johan. (Widodo)

The Lion Man

Namanya Kevin richardson, tapi kebanyakan orang familiar memanggilnya dengan panggilan Kevin the Lion man. Hal ini bukan tanpa alasan, ia dipanggil lion man karena memang ia sangat akrab dan dekat dengan singa. Ia bahkan mengaku bisa berkomunikasi dengan hewan buas yang sering disebut sebagai raja hutan ini.

Sejak kecil, Kevin Richardson sudah mencintai singa, ia mengatakan bahwa singa bukanlah hewan yang berbahaya jika kau mengerti perasaanya. Hingga kini ia sangat mencintai singa.

Kecintaanya pada singa makin menjadi-jadi saat ia bekerja di Lion Park, sebuah taman singa di kota Johannesburg, Afrika selatan, disana ia bisa bersenang-senang dengan hewan yang sangat dicintainya serta disayanginya.

Kasih sayang Ibu di alam liar

Banyak orang masih tidak menyadari betapa besar kasih sayang seorang ibu, apalagi banyak ABG jaman sekarang yang sering membantah orang tuanya dan merasa dirinya lah yang paling benar.


Sebenarnya kasih sayang seorang ibu itu tidak hanya ada dalam diri manusia, tetapi juga ada dalam diri hewan. Lihatlah betapa sayang nya ibunda hewan-hewan ini yang demikian menyayangi anak-anaknya

Kisah sepasang burung yang mengharukan

Seekor burung betina terkapar di pelataran dengan kondisi tubuh yang parah.




Pasangan jantannya membawakan makanan kepada sang betina dengan kasih sayang dan haru.




Ketika sang jantan sedang memberi makan kepadanya, tak lama kemudian sang betina mati terkulai. Sang jantan sangat terpukul dan berusaha mengangkatnya.



Sang burung jantan akhirnya menyadari bahwa pasangan yang dicintainya telah mati. Ia kemudian “menangis” di hadapan pujaannya yang telah terkapar mati kaku.




Sambil berdiri di samping tubuh sang burung betina, sang jantan kemudian “berteriak” dengan suara yang sangat menyedihkan.

Akhirnya sang burung jantan menyadari bahwa pasangan yang dicintainya telah meninggalkannya dan tak akan bisa hidup kembali bersamanya. Ia berdiri disamping tubuh  estsang betina dengan sedih dan duka yang mendalam.

Pasangan burung ini dikabarkan diambil fotonya di suatu wilayah di negara Republik Ukraina, saat burung jantan tersebut sedang berusaha menyelamatkan pasangan betinanya. Jutaan orang di Amerika dan Eropa meneteskan air matanya setelah menyaksikan foto-foto ini.

Bahkan saya sendiri ingin menangis melihatnya.  Sumber:  endang estiana blog

Hachiko si anjing setia

gw denger tentang hachiko dan pernah baca artikelnya dari gw msih kecil, SMP klo gak salah, di Intisari. Asli bikin nangis, ternyata belakangan ada filmnya, dan asli bkin terharu jg. Yang main richard gere.Tadinya mau posting tentang artikel yg pernah gw baca, tapi sayang belum ketemu intisarinya, jd gw masukin aja artikel sebagian yang gw dapat dari blog sebelah.

Sebenarnya sejak membaca Kisah-kisah hewan yang mengharukan  gw selalu nyari artikel2 tentang hewan2 yang bikin terharu dengan segala tingkah polah mereka. Tadinya gw agak takut sama anjing, karena waktu SD pernah dikejar anjing kecil yg asli galak, deket pabrik es krim woody di rumah gw dulu di Pedurenan, hampir digigit loh gue...  jadinya klo liat anjing agak was was, bukan takut n phobia banget ky temen gw yg slalu teriak2 klo liat anjing. Tapi sejak kerja di mantan kantor di Ahmett salina, gw gak takut sama anjing, semua karena Blessy, awal smpet gereng2 n agak cautious pertama kali ketemu gw, tp lama2 deket n gw suka ngelus2 dia. Apalagi klo lg dikasi makan, sama minta di elus2 perutnya, lucuuuu banget gayanya..duhh bkin kangen...ini foto si blessy

ini gw foto sama Cameo (kucing betina kantor) n tante Blessy

dia pemalu banget, jarang mau difoto...pasti kaboooor

Langsung deh klo gitu ke topik utama:

Ini dia kisah si Hachiko, anjing setia dari Jepang. Kisah ini merupakan kisah yang benar-benar terjadi alias kisah Nyata dimana terdapat seekor anjing bernama Hachiko yang lahir pada tahun 1923 di Jepang. Awalnya Hachiko dipelihara oleh seorang Profesor yang bernama profesor Hidesaburo Ueno.
Karena sang profesor biasa naik kereta lewat stasiun shibuya tiap pukul 7 pagi dan pulang pukul 5 sore, Hachiko selalu mengantar sang majikan pagi-pagi dan kembali pada pukul 5 sore buat jemput Profesor di depan stasiun.Kebiasaan ini berlangsung selama 3 tahun hingga pada tanggal 23 Mei 1925 sang profesor meninggal saat mengajar. Hachiko yang tidak tahu apa-apa bahwa si Profesor sudah meninggal terus menunggu di depan stasiun selama 9 tahun *duh... dibagian ini buat mataku berkaca-kaca*.
Dengan memilih tidur di bawah gerbong kereta rusak dan makan dari belas kasihan orang-orang di stasiun*setia banget ni anjing.. duh, kok bisa ya, qu phobia sama anjing??* .
Hachiko selalu balik ke stasiun itu berapa kalipun dia dibawa dan di adopsi sama orang-orang terdekatnya sang majikan. Hingga akhirnya pada tanggal 8 Maret 1935 tubuh Hachiko ditemukan sudah tak bernyawa di pinggir jalanan stasiun shibuya.
Sebagai penghargaan akan loyalitasnya sebuah patung perunggu sekarang dipajang di depan stasiun shibuya dan diletakkan persis pada posisi di mana dia selalu menunggu majikannya setiap hari di depan stasiun tersebut.

Ini dia patungnya , sob...
Hachiko semoga engkau dipertemukan dengan sang profesor di alam sana. Amin...!!



Ini dia profesor Hidesaburo Ueno.

saat Hachiko dikubur.. duh, mengharukan deh....

Saking menyentuhnya, Kisah ini dijadikan film lho...dalam versi Jepang juga versi Hollywood..

Ini versi Hollywood....tetep bkin terharu

Missing Cat Turns Up on TV Show
A cat which disappeared from its home in Cornwall turned up safe and well - on the set of Question Time. Tango, a tom, had crept into Treviglas Community College's hall in Newquay, where BBC1's political discussion programme was being filmed last week. He padded out from under a table where David Dimbleby was chairing political discussions with a panel of guests. The first owner Jackie Ellery knew of his surprise appearance was when a friend rang to say she had spotted him.

But she was not the only person to notice the furtive feline - panel guest Julia Goldsworthy, Lib Dem MP for Falmouth and Camborne, had also clocked him, as had many of the studio audience who erupted into laughter at his nonchalant air.

However, although his owner had been watching the programme in her living room, she missed his TV debut. Although his TV debut may have been fleeting, it seems that Tango's screen appearance will go down as one of the more memorable events to happen on the show. (Link)

Cat Trapped Inside a Metal Container Survives 34 Days by Licking Walls
A black cat named Socks miraculously survived a month trapped in a 20ft industrial storage container - by licking condensation on its walls. The 11-month-old feline reunited with its owners after electrician Murray Ruxton found it inside the container. He survived 35 days without food or water by licking condensation from the sides of the metal unit in Arbroath, Angus. Socks went missing and owner Michelle Maher reported him missing to the charity Cats Protection. Michelle put up posters and searched the streets whilst Cats Protection volunteers kept a lookout for the missing puss. Unbeknown to them, Socks had snuck into a 20ft metal container - similar to shipping containers - which was used by store equipment and supplies for electrical company D Adam & C.

Although desperately thin - half his ideal bodyweight - and dehydrated, the mischievous moggy was reunited with its owner and is expected to make a full recovery from its ordeal.


Tiny Chihuahua Blown Away by Strong Wind

The Utleys of Waterford Township, MI, had set up a booth at a flea market when Tinker Bell, a 6-pound Chihuahua who had been standing on top of it, just flew away like a flimsy piece of paper dragged by 70-mile-an-hour winds. The good news is that, with the aid of a pet psychic, Dorothy and Lavern found a dirty and hungry Tinker Bell in a wooded area about a mile away.

Bird With Cigarette Caused a £250,000 Fire

A cigarette loving sparrow is being blamed for a fire that caused £250,000 of damage to a shop in Lincolnshire. Paul Sheriff, 48, who runs Crescent Stores in Leasingham, was initially at a loss as to what had caused the blaze. Six weeks later, insurance investigators told him that they discovered 35 cigarette ends in the roof.

Their conclusion was a sparrow must have picked up a smoldering butt to feather its nest in the roof's eaves, causing the blaze. Mr Sheriff, a non-smoker, said: "The shop was a total mess. All the suspended ceilings came down, all the electrics were down, all the fridges were broken, it was horrendous. A spokesman for his insurance company said: "We believe it's the first case of its kind we've ever had to deal with. I've certainly never come across this sort of thing before. It's strange to think how such a little bird armed with such a small object could cause such chaos."

Mice Responsible for a Fire That Killed Over 100 Cats
In an ironic event that may be called the mice revenge, mice are being held responsible for a blaze that killed nearly 100 cats at an animal shelter near the Canadian city of Toronto. The fire at the humane society shelter in Oshawa also killed three dogs and some rats that were up for adoption. An initial report from the fire marshal says mice or rats chewing through electrical wires in the ceiling are likely to have sparked the blaze. The $250,000 (£137,000) fire is still under investigation by the Ontario Fire Marshal's office.

Orangutan Deactivates Electric Fence to Escape from Zoo

An Australian zoo was evacuated after an "ingenious" orang-utan escaped from her enclosure by short-circuiting an electric fence today. Staff at Adelaide zoo said 137lb (62kg) Karta used a stick to short-circuit the electric wires around her enclosure before piling up some more sticks to climb out. But the 27-year-old ape only ventured as far as a surrounding fence, still metres from members of the public, during her 30 minutes of freedom. The zoo's curator, Peter Whitehead, said she seemed to realize she was somewhere she was not supposed to be and returned to her enclosure.

Karta was spotted by a member of the public and, although she returned to her enclosure, the zoo was evacuated as a safety precaution. Whitehead said the orang-utan was not aggressive and had not been close to members of the public. However, vets stood by with tranquilizer guns in case of trouble.

Zookeepers believe that Karta was driven to make an incredible escape attempt by grief at the loss of her longtime mate.

Sheep Abseiled Down Electricity Cable After Snagging Its Horn

This hapless sheep has become a real life 'ram-bo' after inadvertently abseiling down a hill when its horn became snagged on an electricity wire.The unfortunate sheep was spotted bleating for help more than 15 feet above the ground next to a telegraph pole. Luckily it did not catch the current from the wire.

The drama unraveled at the small town of Helgoysund on the Norwegian coast. Tourists at the scene mounted a rescue attempt and eventually roped it to pull it back to ground level. After nearly an hour, and some ingenious rope work, the German tourists managed to bring the sheep down unharmed. Spectators suggested the sheep may have been grazing on the hill, and while trying to reach a field of ewes, it got its horn stuck on the zip wire. As it got more agitated, it was pulled down the hill on the wire it was attached to and ended up more than five metres above the ground.

Skunk Gets Stuck in a Peanut Butter Jar

Teresa Vick saw something very strange - a skunk with its head stuck in a peanut butter jar in downtown Bixby. "I deliver the Tulsa World in this area and I was throwing a newspaper here at the Community Centre and I just happened to come upon a skunk with the jar already on its head at about 5:30 this morning," Teresa Vick said. The hungry skunk was just looking for a meal when it got its head caught in a discarded jar. Teresa called several places before she found Ned Bruha, The Skunk Whisperer. She kept the skunk corralled as she waited.

According to Ned Bruha, all wildlife wants is food, water and shelter. Peanut butter is irresistible to skunks. They are opportunistic and they are going to take advantage of any bit of food they can get. This guy found peanut butter and got itself into a little bit of trouble. Ned used a rag soaked in chloroform to mildly sedate the skunk before pulling the jar off its head, and wasn't even sprayed by the appreciative skunk. The skunk just seemed happy to be free once more, and ran off unharmed.

Puppy Survives Miraculously After Swallowing a 10 Inch Toy Arrow

Puppies are known for chewing and eating everything and anything. But Betty the bull terrier must have regretted her greed and curiosity after she swallowed a 10-inch plastic arrow that was almost as long as herself. Thankfully, the Staffordshire bull terrier survived after undergoing emergency surgery to remove the item after it became lodged halfway through her body from the aesophagus to her small intestine. Her owner, Emma Watson, 38, believes her pet gobbled up the arrow after disappearing into her seven-year-old daughter Lilly-Jay's playhouse when a gust of wind opened the door.
The dog is now recovering, but she doesn't seem to have learned her lesson; as soon as she got home she tried to eat the TV remote control.
