A cloud formation over Lincoln Nebraska last July captured in timelapse by Alex Schueth,

The formation is not yet officially recognised as a distinct cloud formation by the World Meteorological Organisation but a petition filed by the Cloud Appreciation Society may soon change that.

Bloop Animation’s tribute to Joe Negroni’s popular theory whereby every Pixar movie is connected and exists within the same universe on a timeline from the fourteenth century to around 5000AD.

Your animated tinfoil hat will not prevent your animated mind from being blown.

Seven month old wolf pup Lorne at animal rescue Camels And Friends in Arizona is introduced to a  ram of very specific temper as part of his socialisation. To wit:

Lorne is now five months old, coming on six. He has been introduced to sheep since he was seven weeks old and has been around the herd daily. Today, under strict supervision I decided to put him in with a semi-dominate ram to gauge his reaction to him. The reason I chose this ram was because he was dominate and willing to stand up to Lorne, but was not overly aggressive and dangerous to him (such as Octavian would have been). Likewise, most of the Ewes would have been a poor choice and triggered a flight response in the sheep, which then may have triggered a chase drive in Lorne, which could have resulted in his predatory nature kicking in- whether he meant the sheep harm or not.
