Dog Teaches His Orphaned Rhino The Sweetest Game

Dog Teaches His Orphaned Rhino The Sweetest Game


 When you watch Duma and Nandi playing at Thula Rhino Orphanage, it’s hard to believe they're all that different. Even though Duma is a dog, and Nandi is a rare baby black rhino, whose species is endangered because of poaching, they can still come together to enjoy a game. "Duma … offered Nandi his fluffy toy puppy," Thula wrote on Facebook recently. “The two of them had a great game!” https://www.thedodo.com/dog-plays-baby-rhino-1648032470.html

Lion, Tiger and Bear Brothers Haven’t Left Each Other’s Side For 15 Years

Lion, Tiger and Bear Brothers Haven’t
Left Each Other’s Side For 15 Years



We’ve seen a lot of unlikely animals friendships here at Bored Panda. Dogs and elephants. Cats and foxes. Even giraffes and ostriches. However, nothing comes close to seeing an American black bear, an African lion and a Bengal tiger living together in harmony. That one really takes some beating.

Baloo the bear, Leo the lion and Shere Khan the tiger have spent the last 15 years peacefully coexisting at Noah’s Ark Animal Shelter in Georgia. Known as the BLT, they were rescued in 2001 from the basement of a house in Atlanta during a police drug raid. They were kept in the basement in terrible conditions, and Baloo had to have surgery to remove an ingrowing harness that hadn’t been adjusted as he’d grown. That was the only time the trio have ever been separated however, and they’ve spent every happy day together since.

Trees and wildlife both need each other to survive. WWF wanted to convey this as part of their message about protecting the environment. We found a simple graphic solution by making trees look like endangered animals such as pandas, hippos and bears.

ZBRO /ziːbroʊ/ (Rainbow Zebra) Zebras are several species of African equids


ZBRO /ziːbroʊ/ (Rainbow Zebra) Zebras are several species of African equids (horse family) united by their distinctive black and white striped coats. Their stripes come in different patterns, unique to each individual. They are generally social animals that live in small harems to large herds. Unlike their closest relatives the horses and donkeys, zebras have never been truly domesticated.

There are three species of zebras: the plains zebra, the Grévy's zebra and the mountain zebra. The plains zebra and the mountain zebra belong to the subgenus Hippotigris, but Grévy's zebra is the sole species of subgenus Dolichohippus. The latter resembles an ass, to which it is closely related, while the former two are more horse-like. All three belong to the genus Equus, along with other living equids.

The unique stripes of zebras make them one of the animals most familiar to people. They occur in a variety of habitats, such as grasslands, savannas, woodlands, thorny scrublands, mountains, and coastal hills. However, various anthropogenic factors have had a severe impact on zebra populations, in particular hunting for skins and habitat destruction. Grévy's zebra and the mountain zebra are endangered. While plains zebras are much more plentiful, one subspecies, the quagga, became extinct in the late 19th century – though there is currently a plan, called the Quagga Project, that aims to breed zebras that are phenotypically similar to the quagga in a process called breeding back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra
