Brave Hippo Saves Wildebeest From Crocodile Attack

Hippo 1 – 0 crocodile.

Israeli photographer Vadim Onishchenko captured this amazing scene in Kenya’s Masai Mara reserve.

The wildebeest, also known as a gnu, looked doomed after a crocodile launched an attack as a herd attempted to cross a river.

However, help was on hand in form of this heroic hippo.

Having chased the crocodile away, our hero helped push the gnu to the edge of the river and to safety.

The incredible encounter is believed to have occurred in 2011.

Commenting on the courageous actions of the hippo, Onishchenko said: “I have heard of cases where the animals instinct is to protect the other species, I think the hippos parental instincts took over.

“The hippos are probably the only animal not afraid of the crocs and I would even say the hippo is the only animal the crocodiles are afraid of.

“Even our safari guide was stunned by the hippos behaviour, he said he had never seen anything like it before.

“It was certainly an unforgettable moment, I feel honoured to have seen such a spectacle.”

An Illustrator Is Randomly Drawing People’s Tweets And It’s A Vital Public Service

The anonymous illustrator of DrawnYourTweet has gained over 16,000 followers with just 25 (brilliant) tweets.

Not much to say about myself – only that I love drawing, which I guess is pretty obvious. I started doing this because I just liked the idea of a stranger just getting a random 'drawn' tweet. Never realised it would be this popular!

This Might Be The Strangest Book Ever Written

In 1976 Luigi Serafini, an Italian artist, architect and designer, decided to write about an imaginary world. The end result was utterly bizarre.

These pages are from the Codex Seraphinianus .

Via Facebook: Codex-Seraphinianus-Full-Book-In-Pictures-jpg / Luigi Serafini

The title means “The Manuscript of Serafini”.

Via Facebook: Codex-Seraphinianus-Full-Book-In-Pictures-jpg / Luigi Serafini

The book portrays Serafini's imagined world in two sections. The first half deals with flora, fauna and physics, and the second aspects of human life.

Via Facebook: Codex-Seraphinianus-Full-Book-In-Pictures-jpg / Luigi Serafini

It's full of surreal and highly detailed depictions of maps, people and things.

“On Shaky Ground”: Living Through the 1994 Northridge Earthquake

Kindle

At 4:31 a.m. on Jan. 17, 1994, a 6.7 earthquake hit Los Angeles, causing 57 deaths, more than 5,000 injuries, and $20 billion in property damage. Twenty years later, those who were here then reflect on one of the biggest natural disasters in L.A. history.

Justine Zwiebel for BuzzFeed/ AFP / Getty Images

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Northridge earthquake, we asked friends and colleagues to share stories and memories from the early morning of Jan. 17, 1994 — and the aftermath.

I was only 5 when the earthquake hit, and I managed to stay asleep until the tail end of it when books started falling to the floor. I’m sure there was some panic among my family, but all I remember is feeling very dutiful, finding my cats, and making sure my American Girl doll, Samantha, had a comfortable seat on the chair in my room. Of course this meant I had to sit on the floor, but she was obviously very scared and needed the comfort of the best seat in the house. Adding to my sense of duty, my radio was the only one that worked since it was for a child and battery operated. We gathered around the red and blue plastic box and listened for any news as I quieted down the still hysterical Samantha.

—Chelsea Marshall

I was 8 and asleep in my parents’ bed when the earthquake hit. I knew what was happening but didn't know earthquakes were a deadly thing; mortality was a bit too much for me at that age. After it ended, I remember my parents getting out their radio and turning it on for emergency information. Once aftershocks subsided, my dad grabbed a flashlight and walked around to check on neighbors. We are Portland natives so my parents were familiar with having to boil water and live without power.

I lived in Encino, a few miles from the epicenter, but my school was in Northridge. I was out of school for a week as they waited for a building inspector to come clear the school. Driving around I remember the California State University, Northridge (CSUN) parking structure wall that just pancaked in and seeing red, yellow, and green tags on buildings everywhere. My house had minimal damage, a small crack and lots of broken bottles and glass. People were selling commemorative T-shirts saying things like “I Survived the 6.9 Quake” on street corners, which in retrospect seems tacky as people did die.
