:D
Anthropomorphia has recently been befriended by Mr. Matt Binstead - the Head Keeper of the British Wildlife Centre in England! He’s the photography genius who managed to capture this amazing fox photograph - and we got the inside scoop on how this fantastic photo came to be!
“I was just lucky enough to be in there one evening photographing them soon after the flowers had emerged. I put a bit of food around the flowers as I wanted a Spring time shot for our website of a fox next to some daffodils. I couldn’t believe my luck when this particular fox, “Pickles”, went one stage further for me and while he sat next to the flowers decided to give one a good ‘ol sniff!”
Aww, Pickles!
Please follow the British Wildlife Centre - we’re quite certain Pickles will want to hear all about how great he looks in photos! If you’re in the area - be sure to visit!

Seagull Thief Prefers Doritos Chips In Tangy Cheese Flavor!
As the shop assistant put it, “He’s got it down to a fine art. He waits until there are no customers around and I’m standing behind the till, then he raids the place.” (note that he prefers Tangy Cheese flavor rather than the crisps closer to the door…)
Sam became so popular, and the locals found his thievery so hilarious, that the locals started paying for the chips he stole so that the store wouldn’t be tempted to try to stop him. Kudos to you, locals! :)
Blind Dog Gets Helped Out By His Own Seeing Eye Dog Pal
One day Tanner & Blair started exercising in a play yard together. Blair all of a sudden seemed to realize that Tanner was blind and just started to help him around. After Tanner and Blair established their friendship, Tanner’s seizures decreased considerably. Likewise, Tanner has had a calming influence on Blair, who is now much less anxious and timid.
“We’ve worked with a lot of different service dogs to provide these services for people. But it’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this.” Click photo for full article.

Beavers Share Food With Muskrats!
Beavers are willing to share their hard earned winter food & shelter with muskrats. Sounds pretty communal, tolerant, and friendly - beavers are good people! (find it at 8:19 - where the narrator wonders whether or not the beavers know if the muskrats are there. Right next to the beaver. In a tiny space. Sheesh - of course the beavers know they’re there!)
Chimps don’t like to be tricked.
A primatologist at a Tanzanian research site once tried to distract a chimp by pretending he had seen something intriguing in the distance. The chimp fell for the deception and went to explore but soon returned and slapped the mischievous primatologist on the head. Peterson interprets the chimp’s reaction as evidence that he recognized the researcher’s deceit as immoral and punished him.

Wild stallion rescues a filly in raging water! Forest Service Volunteer Becky Standridge watched and took photos as a group of wild horses went for a swim in an Arizona creek. One of them, a young filly, went too deep and got into trouble. So Champ, the stallion, went to her rescue.
“People think horses don’t have a soul, but the soul of a horse is much bigger than man knows.”
Yes Becky, horses definitely have souls! (and everyone who reads this blog thinks so too!)
Can’t tell you how much that means to us! Thank you!!!!! :D
Thanks! Love animals, and love people who love animals! :)

Ethiopian girl guarded from gang rape & assault by three lions.
“The girl had been taken by seven men who wanted to force her to marry one of them. She was beaten repeatedly. Then the lions chased off her captors. The three lions guarded her for about half a day. They stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest.”
Then, Stuart Williams (the local wildlife ‘expert’) suggests that perhaps the lions mistook the 12 year old girl’s cries for a lion cub. Which seems awfully silly, considering that lions are perfectly capable of telling the apart the gazelles they eat from their own cubs, aren’t they?

Dolphin Moms Teach Daughters to Use Tools!
A dolphin mother figured out how to use a marine sponge to protect her snout while fishing around in the seabed in Shark Bay, Western Australia. She taught the technique to her daughter, who then taught her daughter too. This is evidence of a tool-use culture in marine mammals.
A growing body of research suggests that some animal populations invent behaviors that are passed to other generations. Well, we do, so why wouldn’t they?
