In a remote part of western China, the local police were sick of thieves bribing or poisoning their guard dogs to break into stations at night. So they tried something different. They bought a flock of geese. It worked almost immediately. One guy poisoned the dog, climbed the wall to steal back his confiscated motorbike, and ran into 20 honking geese flapping at him in the dark. He froze. The whole station woke up. He was caught on the spot. The local chief told reporters geese are basically better than dogs. They have sharper hearing, they can’t be drugged with a piece of meat, and you can’t quiet them down once they start. Honestly, anyone who’s been chased by a goose probably agrees. They’re terrifying. The Romans used them to guard the Capitoline Hill back in 390 BCE, and apparently it was the geese, not the watchdogs, that caught a sneak attack one night and saved the city. Today there’s a flock of 500 geese on the China-Vietnam border, working alongside dogs. A Scottish whisky distillery used a goose squad to guard its warehouses for decades. Free-range chicken farms in the US still use them. So the real question is whether your local police station would be safer with a Doberman or with eight angry geese.

На Гаваях американский миллионер кинул булыжник в тюленя-монаха, их осталось всего 1500 особей. Он сказал "Мне плевать, выпишите штраф, любой оплачу". После чего был избит местным активистом, и срочно покинул остров. Власти острова дали активисту награду 😀

How the ruins are displayed in Serbia.

In a back garden in Sheffield, England, a wildlife photographer named Simon Dell spotted a tiny mouse with a torn ear standing upright in his grass like a meerkat. He named him George and built him a small log shelter to keep him safe from the neighbour’s cat. Then George brought a partner. They had a baby. The shelter became a cottage. The cottage became a village. Today, hidden in his garden, there’s a fully working mouse town with handmade wooden doors, post boxes and dining tables. About ten mice live there.

It’s magic.. 😅
