An elk rescues a drowning marmot at Pocatello Zoo, Idaho. Keepers were worried when they noticed Shooter, a four-year-old elk, turning his nose up at his water. They looked on baffled as the moose tried to dip his hooves in his drinking trough - before trying to dunk his entire head in the water. But they were amazed when they saw 12-foot-tall Shooter lift his head out of the water - clutching a tiny marmot - a large ground squirrel - between his jaws. They looked on as Shooter gently nudged the rodent with his hoof, to make sure it was alive - before calmly watching it run off into the bushes.

reverse graffiti.

instead of using actual spray cans…some artist are just cleaning dirt off of certain areas to make their masterpieces. and they are calling it reverse graffiti. kind of brilliant.

I have seen graffiti like this in person and it is amazing!

This is a homeless guy who lives on a bridge in Dublin City. Last week his rabbit was grabbed from him and thrown into the river below.. the River Liffey. Which is one of the most horrible rivers in Ireland. The currents are really strong and it’s filthy.. Anyway, as soon as the rabbit hit the water this guy was already hurdling off the bridge and towards the freezing river to save her. After hitting the water and successfully locating her, he proceeding to pump air back into her, making her regain consciousness and basically come back to life. I was talking to him today along with another woman and she asked “Why in the name of God did you jump into the water? Did you not think about it?!” and straight away he replied with “No. I didn’t stop to think. I just jumped. It was an instinct.. I needed to save her.”

World's largest salt flat is located at Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia. During the rainy season, the water turns into world's largest mirror.

In a tiny corner of western Poland a forest of about 400 pine trees grow with a 90 degree bend at the base of their trunks - all bent northward. Surrounded by a larger forest of straight growing pine trees this collection of curved trees, or “Crooked Forest,” is a mystery.

"This 53-year old homeless man, Peeta, would come into my store (Footaction) almost everyday.  I believe that he lived on one of the benches by the mall.  So he would always come in, and the only stores he would look at were the shoe stores.  I looked down on his feet, as you can see, he was wearing ratty old moccasins that did not fit him anymore.  Everytime he would come in, I would talk to him about his life and all of the things we love about sneakers.  I was so tempted to steal a pair and give them to him, but he would not let me.  I told him that he could pick any shoe in the store he wanted and I would get it for him.  The thing he said to me was “No thank you, son. You cannot risk your job just to make another person smile.  You are a very nice boy though.”. After he said that to me, he walked out of the store.  Later as the day went on, I couldn’t get him out of my mind.  When the store was about to close, I bought a pair of Jordan Olympic 7’s with my own money.  I went outside, and searched for him for 3 hours, until I finally found him sleeping near an old abandoned movie theatre.  I placed the sneakers in his right arm, so when he would wake up he would find them.  The next day, I went to work hoping to see the old man.  I came just in time.  It was approximately 8 in the morning, and he walked up to me and he gave me the biggest hug and he was crying.  I’ve never felt something so good in my life.  You truly do not understand what it feels like to be happy until you give something to someone less fortunate than you, without them having to ask for it.  I will never forget Peeta, the dear old homeless man."
