“The Pacu fish are actually native to the Amazon, and were introduced to Papua New Guinea only about 15 years ago. Traditionally vegetarian, the fish used their molar-like sharp teeth to crack open nuts (no pun intended) and seeds. When veggie food wasn’t available in their new surroundings, they had to resort to eating meat. I suppose this is when they discovered a particular liking towards the meat of human testicles.” w/ photo + video

“These amazing photos capture the moment a heron snapped up two newborn ducklings as their mother helplessly watched. The drama began when the heron swooped over a lake in Dublin and attempted to panic ducks and pick off any stray birds as it searched for its next meal. A terrified mother duck tried to shepherd her family of eight ducklings – born just the day before – into the safety of some reeds by the side of the lake. But the wily bird had spotted this mother’s nest and was laying in wait to gobble not one, but two of her precious offspring.” w/ photos

“A lucky three-year-old boy had a miraculous escape after he fell from a eighth floor balcony and became trapped in the building’s air-conditioning unit. The toddler, who has not been named, had been left home alone in the apartment in Beijing, China, before he fell. Neighbors, who heard him screaming in terror, called the police for help. But when they noticed he was starting to slip they decided to take the matter into their own hands. Two grocery shop workers, Mr Wang and Mr Zhou, leapt into action climbing out of the window and grabbing the boy’s arm in the nick of time.” w/ photos
