Even when things seem to be going incredibly well with a wild animal, things can turn on a dime. Despite these snow leopard twins acting playful and friendly when Terry and Adrian first enter their enclosure, the situation changes rather quickly after one of the twins take the high ground. As ...

Being best friends with a lion named Bone Digger sounds like a recipe for disaster. That sounds even more dangerous when that friend is a dachshund. Regardless, that hasn't stopped Milo and Bone Digger from becoming best buds. Below you'll see what the day to day lives are like for these two ...

We're not sure if the grass tastes better on the other side or if this elephant at the Berlin Zoo is just hoping it does, but it's reaching awfully hard for it. After some serious stretching out as it balances on a ledge, the elephant finally manages to grab a clump of grass. Even after getting ...

We're not sure why these elephants are destroying every massive pumpkin they see, but we think it has to be that they either really hate Halloween, they're getting a head start on pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving or they have an unbridled love for 90's alt-rock (i.e. Smashing Pumpkins). Whatever ...

It's a good thing there was a cage between this guy and the monkey that was apparently on a mission to sneak attack him. He's standing with his back to a monkey enclosure when the monkey starts furiously spinning around on a rope. It's unclear what it's doing at first. But then it launches off ...

If this doesn't prove that humans have no chance against a wild animal in terms of pure strength, we don't know what will. A team of WWE wrestlers was given a chance to take on a lion cub in a game of tug-of-war. Pro wrestlers aren't exactly what we'd call weak, so we figured they may be able to ...

Don't show up outside this lions door if you're hoping for a warm welcome. Visitors who spot this lion at the Capitol of Texas Zoo can expect to find a lion that's more "get off my lawn!" than king of the jungle.

Chimps and raccoons don't exactly come from the same region, so what would happen if they ever interacted? It turns out the raccoon would be turned into a makeshift frisbee, get thrown into the distance and be toyed with while trying to escape. At least, that's what happened when this raccoon ...

This kid might really like llamas, but this llama isn't a huge fan of him. After initially being ignored by the first couple of llamas he runs across, this kid moves onto another one that seems even less interested in being touched. However, he doesn't let that stop him from getting to pet a ...

Getting the food in your mouth is only half the battle, as this pelican proves after trying to swallow a duck whole. The footage was captured at a New Orleans Zoo and shows a pelican that clearly had eyes way bigger than its stomach — or neck, in this case. It's trying its best to get it down ...

Being a zookeeper isn't always an easy job. Sure, you get to play around with and take are of some pretty interesting animals. But sometimes those animals want to play around more - a lot more. In this case, this zookeeper has a giant panda leg ornament that just won't seem to go away and let ...

Genetics are a weird thing in families. Some children resemble their parents, while others look like they could've been born on different continents. Then there are the kids who look so much like their parents that you're wondering if they're time travelers or if you're going crazy. That's the case ...

This zookeeper didn't exactly live up to his whole, 'never show a lion fear' policy. While exiting the lion enclosure, he states to a group of onlookers about the importance to never showing fear to a lion. A moment later, it looks like the lion switches over to a part of the enclosure the ...

For all of the alpha male aggression that people picture when they think about silverback gorillas, this one is super chill about just hanging out with a guy as he swiped through pictures of other gorillas on his phone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPPq7o7TzIs
