You all must have heard of the famous adventurist, Steve Irwin, known as a nature expert and television personality from Australia. His nickname ‘’The Crocodile Hunter’ tells it all.

He passed away 11 years ago at the age of 44, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming an underwater documentary film titled ‘Ocean’s Deadliest’. He wasn’t killed by the many crocodiles and other dangerous animals he was hanging out with, but by a fish. What an irony.

However, he will always be remembered as a brave, wild and free spirit man who enjoyed his work and brought passion in everything he did. Let’s check out his most dangerous moments in the wild. Scroll down and let’s give this animal lover the proper respect he deserves for living his life on the edge with his wild companions.

‘Ashes and Snow’ by Gregory Colbert http://paradoxoff.com/curiosities/ashes-and-snow-by-gregory-colbert/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ashes-and-snow-by-gregory-colbert Wed, 29 Mar 2017 08:37:33 +0000 http://paradoxoff.com/index.php/2017/03/29/ashes-and-snow-by-gregory-colbert/ It’s out pleasure to introduce to you this unique and creative film-maker and photographer, Gregory Colbert from Canada.

It’s out pleasure to introduce to you this unique and creative film-maker and photographer, Gregory Colbert from Canada.

Gregory is most known for his ongoing project called ‘Ashes and Snow’. The project consists photographic artworks, a one-hour film, and two short films ‘haikus’, and a novel in letters all presented in a purpose-built temporary structure called the Nomadic Museum.

Today we’re going to show you only the photographic artworks that we borrowed from his website. His art’s purpose is to reawaken an ancient memory of the time we as humans lived in balance with our animal kind. He began creating ‘Ashes and Snow’ back in 1922 and since then, he made expeditions to every continent to collaborate with more than one hundred spices around the world.

His work is astonishing because of his pure will to create something beautiful and light up the spark of our fires that once burned in people’s eyes. And that spark is called ‘freedom’. Check out his work and hold your breath, because you’re going to need it after.

We’ve seen them doing everything and this was the only thing missing on the list of what animals can do.

They did some inappropriate things, drink beer, acted like humans, exercised, got married, and even proved they can read books, or at least hold the books just to look cute on photographs.

It’s time we see what they can do in a Jacuzzi. Scroll down and check out these funny animals in their ‘Jacuzzi tubs’.

Everyone sees them as dangerous yet no one can deny the fact that wolfs are one of the most beautiful, complex and intelligent creatures.

There are two universally species of wolves in the world: the gray wolf and the red wolf. According to its weight, a wolf’s length and height are variable in different areas of the world. They live in Alaska, Canada, Asia, and only few of them survived in Europe.

Although people are afraid of wolfs, they’re not dangerous because it’s proven that they actually avoid people. However, like any large predator, wolves are capable of killing humans. If you want to know more about these interesting animals, scroll down and read the 11 surprising facts you didn’t know about them.

3. A hungry wolf can eat 20 pounds of meat in a single meal, which is akin to a human eating one hundred hamburgers
4. Wolves can swim distances of up to 13 kilometres

6. Wolves were the first animals to be placed on the U.S. Endangered Species Act list in 1973

Double danger or unfortunate creatures that were born with deficiency? How do you see them?

It’s a fact that we all see them differently but we can’t deny that they’re amazingly beautiful, even if they’re two headed. The condition of having two heads is called Polycephaly and it’s nothing new, according to the cases we’ve seen before with people and these other two headed animals that we’re sure you haven’t seen before.

Nobody’s perfect and we all have our own flaws that make us unique, just like these snakes you’re going to see if you just scroll down and enjoy our little collection of this two headed beauties!

Nothing is impossible because the word itself contains ‘possible’ and only those who dare erasing that ‘im’ will go beyond limits of everything they wished for and get it some day!

For example, these people wished to hang out with wild animals and show others that animals are bad only if you treat them bad. But if you know how to approach them properly and offer them your friendship and love, they will do the same and be dangerous for everyone else except you, offering their true friendship!

The problem with us people is that we think we own this Planet and always forget that we don’t own anything, not even our lives. We were created to live with animals on Earth and NOT to kill them! Scroll down and see what true friendship looks like!

We already know that monkeys have the ability to imitate our movements and reactions because assuming to Darwin – we ourselves origin from monkeys!

When we take a closer look at this animal spice, we can notice that we really have the same physical characteristics and lifestyle. An examination has shown that we share common traits, such as intelligence and the tendency to live in social units. Many monkeys act aggressively toward humans in the wild, but they are usually easily tamed if introduced to humans at a young age. Some monkeys, such as the capuchin, make intelligent and affectionate pets.

In some countries, owning a monkey is allowed but in other countries is forbidden or the approval of owning a monkey is difficult to get. If you like little monkeys and their imitations, just scroll down and enjoy the collection we’ve made for you today!
