On Thursday morning some security guards spotted a leopard wandering into a Maruti Suzuki factory about 20 miles south of New Delhi. What happened next was a shutdown and a hunt for the wayward cat that involved tranquilizer darts, firecrackers, and goats.

For several weeks now, a chicken in Shediac, New Brunswick, has been crossing the road, clearing the parking lot of delicious crumbs and then crossing again and returning home.

Usually, any story that begins with a driver hearing a crunch while on the road won’t have a happy ending. Every so often though, it happens. On September 3, on a drive to Calgary, Alberta, Georgie Knox hit a coyote and “heard a crunch.” Assuming it was dead, she drove on, until 20 minutes later a construction worker…

As per usual, National Geographic has a baby animal story that’s an emotional roller coaster, this time involving a baby wildebeest that started chasing a blue Hyundai Tucson after it was separated from its herd in Africa. Somewhere, a Disney writer is taking notes.

All this cute, little furry creature wanted to do was run on the Nürburgring. That’s all he wanted to do!

A Pennsylvania woman has been cited with summary disorderly conduct for losing her ducks, which made their way into traffic and caused a wreck.

Watch this crazy video of a huge buck jumping over a flock of motorcyclists, throwing one of them off balance and into the street as the graceful creature soars into the great green void.

By now, you know the drill: windshield shattered, Indiana human unscathed, Indiana turkey dead. For the second time in four days, the target was an Indiana State Police officer, this time Trooper Aaron Weller. Also for the second time, the ISP delivered a morbid holiday reference:

“Everyone wanted to get out of the car because they were afraid of the turkey,” said John Tarabocchia, dispelling any uncertainty about the scariest part of a driving a very fast car into a flying turkey. Not the blunt surprise of impact, or even the minor cuts the family suffered from flying windshield shards—just…

Right in the middle of a dang bike race!

There’s not much I can give in the way of context for this video. The excited announcer is commentating in Italian, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the race was in Italy. There are no races worth filming happening in Italy right now, and also it’s winter, so this grainy footage is probably old.

The consensus is that 2016 was a bad year, and like every single other year, a lot of animals died. Unlike every other year, we went crazier over these animal deaths than we’ve ever gone.

There’s an awful lot of Serious Business happening in America right now. I’m pretty sick of it. Let’s take a moment to ignore the news and the polls and the leaks and focus on something that actually matters: what animals would be what-wheel-drive?

Ellen Sager of Howell, New Jersey was headed home when she struck a deer with her SUV. After pulling over to check on the animal, the wild beast charged at her, attacking Sager in the driver’s seat and reminding me of that time I installed a really weird mod pack in Grand Theft Auto.

A Kiwi man decided to celebrate his 81st birthday by hopping the fence of a bull pin to save his Ford Ranger “ute” from Rex, the raging bull.

I don’t know, man. Don’t ask me why the chicken is wearing blue pants. Don’t ask me where the chicken even got his blue pants. Just enjoy the silly inanity of a chicken running around the yard like a total goofball while wearing blue pants. I don’t know if the chicken likes wearing his blue pants but I know the…

These folks came to Quebec to see a whale, and everything went exactly to plan.

This is a horse-drawn carriage. Are the people in charge of the horse? Is the horse in charge of the people? No. It is the dog.
