Coyotes offer scary response

September 19, 2014 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Imagine you could howl like the coyotes. Imagine also that you took yourself off to the deep woods and let howl. What’s the worst that could happen? In Pure Spirit I bet you could hear the coyotes. You could hear their barks and hear the thumping. Did you see any?

Pelican wave dive bombs the beach

August 28, 2014 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Not a good time to be a fish. I wouldn’t have wanted to have been swimming just in the patch of shore that this flock of pelicans took notice of either! This remarkable video shows a rolling wave of dive bombing birds as they plunge into the breaking waves in search of a fishy treat. […]

Would you believe this creepy creature footage is real?

August 8, 2014 by Andrew 1 Comment

You might be mistaken for thinking some sort of monster man or yeti was visiting this apparently safe neighbourhood. The creature that’s left the shadows of the nearby wood is actually a bear. The bear, perhaps to keep watch out for people, lopes through the road of Jefferson Township, NJ, on its hind legs. The […]

Most remarkable squirrel rescue

While you’re out sailing on the Somerset Reservoir and you’re nearly a mile from shore you would have no reason to expect an encounter with a young squirrel.

A surprise among 115,000 volts!

June 17, 2014 by Andrew Leave a Comment

You might wonder what’s going in this video at first. A man seems to be recording his walk through an electrical substation. You can hear the buzz of the energy but other than that there’s only the crunch of his boots. It’s worth a watch. Suffice to say that a pair of nesting birds have […]

Amazing octopus escapes from inside a secured jar

May 12, 2014 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Octopi are clever creatures. You may be slightly disturbed by this video… if not by the swirling tentacles but by the ability of the octopus. It’s been sealed inside a jar and the screw cap very firmly put on. In Pure Spirit Should we treat octopi differently? Are they intelligent enough to be better protected […]

Wolves have been reintroduced to Yellowstone park in America. It was a controversial move. Not everyone wanted them. As it turns out the return of the wolves triggered some trophic cascades. Trophic cascade is a process that starts at the top of the food chain and reaches down the way. Wolves hunted the deer. That […]

The (almost) unbelievable story of 007 the crow – watch it yourself

February 10, 2014 by Andrew Leave a Comment

The phrase “bird brained” isn’t appropriate here. This crow, nicknamed 007, shows almost unbelievable problem solving skills as it solves 8 puzzles, in the right order, in the right way to access food. The bird had seen the individual elements before but this was the first time the pieces had been arranged like this. Watch […]
