Find Momo, Moore OK Tornado & Dogs, Blackfooted Albatross' Goofy Mating Dance, Dog Eat Dog Short Film, Turtle Road Kill, Wildlife Photography Contest Winners

Today's 'find Momo' was such a surprise, I laughed when I found him! I was leaning forward, scrutinizing all of the shadowy places... Then, BAM! And I just laughed...

I saw a video today of this woman who was recounting how she survived the tornado in Moore, OK. She said that she had her dog with her, but then the house came apart. She is distracted during the entire interview, looking at the rubble that was her house. She says that she knows her dog is in there somewhere. And she just keeps looking. Suddenly, the newswoman spots movement among the rubble...

Dogs are helping out in Moore, OK. They are searching for people and providing comfort to the survivors. My prayers go out to all who have suffered a loss in this disaster.

Blackfooted Albatross have a really goofy mating dance. Make sure your speakers are turned on.

Dog Eat Dog is an amusing short film of one man's journey through the dog adoption process at an animal shelter. It's well worth the time it takes to watch it. (It's about 11 minutes plus a couple minutes of credits.) But it's really well made and fun to watch!

A chilling experiment finds that some drivers go out of their way to run over turtles in the road. Turtles don't reach maturity until they are 7 or 8 years old. Their population is in a slow decline -- being killed while crossing the road is a contributing factor.

Here is a slideshow of wildlife photography contest winners. One of the pictures presented is of a Bald Eagle catching a Red-winged Blackbird in flight.
