Beware of Bungie Bridge Bears

Jonathon Marshall — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 20:21:11 +0000

Or if you prefer a boring headline, “How to recue a 250-pound bear stuck under a California bridge.” Apparently this black bear tried to cross the two lange bridge and was spooked by cars coming from both directions, instead of moving on, it decided to jump over the railing and some how managed to find the ledge right below the bridge.

Now if you wanted to get a base jumper off a bridge you just have to tell him you wont arrest him, he won’t believe you and he’ll just jump anyway.

Thanks to Jerry for sending me the photos!!

Behold The Mirrorcube by TreeHotel

Jonathon Marshall — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 23:55:54 +0000

TreeHotel has designed some of the coolest outdoor structures I’ve seen in a while and The Mirrorcube is beautifully invisible. I’d love to stay in one of these places.

The tree hotel concept meets the increasing interest in wild life-/eco tourism where one may encounter and experience the pristine nature of Sweden. The cube provides living space for two people: a double bed, a small kitchenette and bath, a living room and roof terrace. Access to the cabin is by a rope bridge connected to the next tree.

To prevent birds colliding with the tree hotel, a transparent ultraviolet colour, visible for birds only, will be laminated into the glass panes.

Check out The Brids Nest too! And if you liked this you might also like shipping container homes.

BBC’s Life

“From the award-winning BBC Natural History Unit, makers of Planet Earth and The Blue Planet: Seas of Life, this is the original UK broadcast version of Life, with narration by renowned naturalist David Attenborough and music by Oscar® and Emmy® winning composer George Fenton In Planet Earth, we brought you the world as you’ve never seen it before. Now, get closer with Life. Four years in the making, filmed over 3000 days, across every continent and in every habitat, with breathtaking new high definition filming techniques developed since Planet Earth, Life presents 130 incredible stories from the frontiers of the natural world, 54 of which have never been filmed before. Packed with excitement, revelation and entertainment, this remarkable 10-part blockbuster captures unprecedented, astonishingly beautiful sequences and demonstrates the spectacular and extraordinary tactics animals and plants have developed to survive and thrive.”

I cant wait for this release, slated for June 1st on a Blu-Ray 4 disc set. David Attenborough is the narrator for the UK release, and in a mind boggling decision from the BBC, Oprah for the American release. Now, I have no issue with Oprah, but Attenborough is the best of the best – I for one will be willing to pay the extra cash to get a hold of the the UK release.

The Circle Of Life. Not Really.

Snake Versus Fisherman

Clive Mathias — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 05:38:36 +0000

Well, we already know Bill Dance doesn’t like snakes, but this guy is completely terrified of them! He gets out of the boat as fast as the snake gets in!

What would you do if a snake climbed into your boat while you were fishing?

The Kingfisher

There are a lot of birds out there with some great fishing techniques, but few make it look as spectacular as the kingfisher.

Bird Vs. Trout

Clive Mathias — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 22:54:52 +0000

Its hard to say who won this battle by just looking at the photo, but I think ts pretty safe to say the egret has the upper hand, even is its neck is broken in half.
