Pole Dancer 

(yup, that's all I'm going to tell you - you have to watch the video)

This is great - Pole Dancing at the Fairmont Resort in the mountains of BC

Sorry it ended where it did, would have loved to see what happened to the twit in the orange shirt when he decided he needed to get closer so he could continue to get "great video" ... sigh, another possible candidate for the Darwin Awards

Nice piece of lateral thinking by very calm police officers (hard to be calm around skunk!)

No begging involved, just a nice civilized (by both parties) visit.

Endangered fishing cat thought extinct in Cambodia, caught on camera
by Glenn Scherer / Mongabay / 3 Sept 2015

Asia’s Endangered fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) went missing in 2003, and was thought to be extinct in that nation. That’s why researchers were so delighted when the fishing cat showed up recently in candid shots snapped by their camera traps in two Cambodian preserves.



The sightings were made in a recent camera trap survey conducted by Cambodia’s Centre for Biodiversity Conservation (CBC) in partnership with Fauna & Flora International (FFI), and the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP).



Check out the full story & the trail cam video ...

Must see: Raccoon rides an alligator
Leeanna McLean / The Weather Network / 15 June 2015



Just when you think you've seen it all. This past week our viewers were greeted to images of a squirrel riding a woodpecker and now we have a raccoon standing on an alligator.

A Palatka, Florida man managed to snap this incredible photo while visiting the Ocala National Forest Saturday morning. 

Richard Jones and his family were walking along the Oaklawaha river gazing at some of the gators. As his son went through some palm fronds to get a better view, he ended up frightening a nearby raccoon.

The animal stumbled towards the water and ended up hopping on top of a gator's back, Jones told Bay News 9. The photo was taken seconds before the alligator slipped underwater and the raccoon jumped off.

"Without the context, you'd think the raccoon was hitching a ride across the river," Jones told Bay News 9 in an email. "Pretty amazing. Definitely the photo of a lifetime."

There is a very funny tweet that says: "Raccoons and alligators are working together now it is time to evacuate this planet"

Photos by Grizzly Bear ...

Here is a CBC article and video on how the "bear behind camera" photo came to be. It can be good to have two photographers in the same area.
