This is a very good work. A girl tries to make every possible effort to resurrect a dead frog in vain. At last, she comes up with an idea of using magic. And how does it end?

Animals snuggle up on capybaras, a Buddha of the animal kingdom, with limitless broad-mindedness
We should see an era of ideal society where human rights of all people living on earth are protected and they are guaranteed to be fed, clothed and housed. Capybaras show us specifically what kind of people are needed in such an era.

Animals snuggle up on capybaras, a Buddha of the animal kingdom, with limitless broad-mindedness

Capybaras, slow-tempo animal, are not only popular in the human world but they enjoy great popularity in the animal kingdom.
When we face a crisis of destruction of the planet, it may be not Noah’s ark but a spaceship Capybara that carry animals. It may or not may be true.

1.     Capybara and cat love each other.


3.     Capybara is utterly unmoved by monkeys fiddling with him.


5.     Tortoises make a circle to guard capybara. They put up barriers.


6.     Capybara is just there. Animals approach with a sense of ease.


8.     Capybara gently touches a small animal.


9.     Even an alligator never touches capybara.


14. Little birds also have trust in capybara.


20. Let’s pay more respect for capybara loved by all animals.

Serious Confrontation Between Two Shoebills Through Glass

Serious Confrontation Between Two Shoebills Through Glass
At first I thought there might be a mirror, but it was wrong. Both shoebills seemed to be in serious mode until there was glass between the two. However, it appears that after the glass was broken, they got into peaceful mode of “discussion is important.”
Although they look scary, they reportedly are so polite and respectful to a keeper that they greet him politely without fail because they are presumably from a distinguished royal family.

Serious Confrontation Between Two Shoebills Through Glass   The Glass Broken After Intense Glaring At Each Other (Ueno Zoo)


Shoebill broke glass with beak after faceoff!

The Shoebill is known for its “stillness like a mountain.” Reportedly, brisk movement of a shoebill was witnessed.

This scene was filmed by “Tokyo Shoebill Club” which makes daily observations of shoebills in Japan. According to the club, it was a lethal stroke after a faceoff through the glass.

They say that a senior shoebill is seen snuggle up to a keeper in Ueno Zoo. The shoebill looks so happy when its head is stroked by the keeper. It is so cute.

[Legendary Soccer Video] Most shameful self-foul play in history: The play, though malicious, makes viewers overtaken with laughter!


It was seen in a World Cup U-20 South Africa semifinal game between Ecuador (yellow) and Chile (red). An unforgivable scene became reality. The accident occurred 31 minutes after the latter half of the game began, while Ecuador leading by one point.

An Ecuador player, who tries to take the slow in, and a Chile player sticking fast to him desperately scramble for the position. This is an ordinary action. However, in the moment when the ball is thrown in the goal, an unbelievable action exploded.

To be honest, it is such an idea that nobody will come up with.


The result was that the judge could not detect the foul play. This is an inexcusable action. When you watch the video in slow motion for confirmation, you can tell that he did intentionally to such an extreme degree that the play-by-play announcer burst into laughter.
