Baby elephant thought man was drowning and rushed to save him

HE JUSTA BABY 🥺

A baby the size of a truck 🥺

I love elephants so much.

When I was in Nepal, I went to an elephant sanctuary and saw this little guy. The little bundles of grass in his front of him were “sandwiches”, brown sugar and salt wrapped in sweet grass, and he was swaying from side to side while he ate, like a little food dance.

Reblog for someone to make you a dozen sandwiches for this weekend’s little happy food dance.

Remember: toe beans are the sign of a killer.

Funnily enough, I’m not 100% joking. While many animals have paw pads, the particular kind of soft, squishy beans found on housecats are an adaptation for stealth. Squishy beans mean you’re looking at an ambush predator.

Emerald cuckoo wasp, Stilbum cyanurum, Chrysididae

Like other cuckoo wasps, this species is a kleptoparasite. Females lay eggs in the nests of other bees and wasps. When the cuckoo wasp larvae hatch, they eat the host eggs or larvae. Found in a wide range including Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

The (clearly visible) pits in the tough exoskeleton of cuckoo wasps make it harder from their hosts to sting them… but that’s not all! When under attack by angry bees or wasps, the cuckoo wasp simply curls up like a pill bug!

Faced with an impervious armored ball, the hosts are forced to just drag it out of the nest and dump it outside. Of course, the wasp goes right back in when all’s clear.
