A family biking trip turned into a heart-stopping encounter when an alligator was caught on camera rushing toward a fisherman in South Carolina! Micah Kimberlin, who recorded the video, said he was biking with his family when he spotted the alligator swimming quickly towards the fisherman. He added that a few onlookers had kept walking closer to the alligator, and he tried to persuade them to back up. “We had been telling our 9 year old son that alligators are faster than you think they are and to stay away from the ponds. But even I didn’t realize just how fast they are. As we rode off in shock from what we’d just seen he said ‘Well, I believe you now’”, Kimberlin said. #alligator #nature #wild #caughtoncamera #shocking #viralvideo

It was yet another violent weekend for the city’s transit system. Three separate incidents within hours of each other on New York City subways sent multiple victims to the hospital, the NYPD said—including a stabbing on an L train in Canarsie, a shooting on the Rockaway Park Shuttle, and an assault on an A train in Bed-Stuy. One of the victims was just 15-years-old. The attacks come following a recent rash of stabbings and slashings last week on the subway. #MTA #subway #safety #transit #crime #FOX5NY #nyc

It was a case of "Oh no, not again!” for a boat delivery skipper who came under attack by a pod of killer whales for a second time recently. Captain Daniel Kriz was sailing to the Canary Islands to deliver a catamaran when he felt a hard hit to the boat. He realized it was the same situation as back in 2020, when his boat was attacked by orcas. Sure enough, video from Kriz shows one of the orcas bashing against a rudder and breaking it off. Kriz said it seemed that the whales “were getting more strategic”. The recent rise in orca boat attacks has researchers swimming in theories--from "aversive" triggers to natural curiosity. #nature #wildlife #orcas #killerwhales #whales #oceans #caughtoncamera

To most people, they were simply old fire trucks, rusting away inside a salvage yard. But retired firefighter Jim Sullivan recognized that one of them was much, much more.

A purr-fectly unexpected guest! This thirsty mountain lion proved it's no scaredy-cat as it maneuvered around rebar fencing to quench its thirst from my backyard pool in Scottsdale, Arizona. Kathleen Binke, who recorded this video, said she was sitting in her family room when she saw movement in her backyard. “After its long drink, it just disappeared. I’m not really sure how it got in or out,” she said, explaining that she has special “desert” fencing. "I had thought no animal would attempt to jump over it because they could be stabbed by the top of the rebar. I guess I was wrong.” #caughtoncamera #mountainlion #nature #wild #animalencounter #Arizona
