Cemetery Worker Stumbles Upon Trio of Turkeys Eerily Circling Gravestone

A North Dakota cemetery worker was left scratching his head when he stumbled upon a trio of turkeys eerily circling a gravestone. The creepy scene was reportedly filmed by Paul Eickhof at the Riverside Cemetery in the city of Fargo. In the cemetery worker’s footage, featured above, the three turkeys can be seen continuously running around a memorial marker labeled ‘Harris.’ While it is uncertain how long their ‘ritual’ had been unfolding, one can surmise that it was quite a while based on the ring of exposed ground encircling the gravestone in the otherwise snow-covered cemetery.

As for the cause of the weird incident, which Eickhof rightly called “quite bizarre,” wildlife experts say that the circling was actually typical behavior from turkeys as the not particularly intelligent animals often get trapped in a loop while examining suspected threats. A similarly strange piece of footage from Massachusetts made headlines back in 2017 when a motorist filmed the creatures eerily walking around a dead cat.

Odd Viral Video Shows Gaggle of ‘Baby Dinosaurs’ in Guatemala

An odd viral video from Guatemala features what appears to be a gaggle of baby dinosaurs in front of an ancient monument, but the ‘prehistoric creatures’ are really just a clever illusion. The weird footage, which has drawn comparisons to a scene from the Jurassic Park films, was reportedly posted on social media earlier this month. In the video, several small animals that bear an uncanny resemblance to baby brontosauruses can be seen meandering around in some grass. As one might imagine, the footage had many online viewers doing a double-take at the wondrous sight that ultimately turned out to have a prosaic explanation.

Rather than a group of heretofore undiscovered tiny dinosaurs roaming around Guatemala, the creatures seen in the video are actually coatis, which are small mammals that reside in South and Central America as well as Mexico and the southwestern United States. The reason why the diminutive animals look like baby brontosauruses is because the footage is reversed, which makes it seem as though their tails were their heads. A similarly eyebrow-raising scene of coatis masquerading as tiny dinosaurs dashing along a beach also went viral in 2022. To that end, this more recent video from Guatemala has amassed a staggering 125 million views since appearing online in just a few weeks.

Serbian Influencer Narrowly Escapes Empty Bear’s Den When Creature Comes

A Serbian influencer is lucky to be alive after he foolishly climbed into an empty bear’s den and had to deftly escape from the predicament when the sizeable creature returned home. Stefan Jankovic reportedly shared footage of the unnerving misadventure, which unfolded in the village of Gornja Paklenica, on social media over the weekend. In the video, the young man crouches down inside the cavernous den before turning his camera to the entrance to show the unsettling animal looking down into the darkness and sniffing as if it can detect the undoubtedly terrified interloper.

Fortunately, the bear opted not to charge down and confront the trespassing young man. That said, Jankovic found himself stuck as the only means of escape meant exiting through the hole where the creature stood guard. Amazingly, that’s precisely what the influencer did, slowly clamoring out of the cavern past the animal, which sniffed at his head and camera. During the incredibly close encounter, Jankovic looked terrified as the bear was mere inches from his face, though thankfully he was allowed to peacefully pass by the creature without being attacked. While the stunt wound up receiving worldwide attention, the influencer would probably be wise not to tempt fate with a sequel to the widely seen video.

Shark Seen Swimming in River Thames?

A pair of friends walking along Britain’s River Thames could not believe their eyes when they spotted what appeared to be a shark swimming in the iconic waterway. The wild sighting reportedly occurred earlier this week as Olivia Kaliszewska and Charlotte Webb were crossing the Hammersmith Bridge in London. To their profound surprise, when they looked down, they caught sight of a peculiar shape resembling a fin that had popped out of the water. Fortunately, Webb managed to capture footage of the odd form and subsequently posted it online, where it has unsurprisingly sparked a debate as to what the two friends had seen.

Webb believes that the fin belonged to a five-foot-long tope shark, that are known to live in the Thames estuary approximately forty miles away. That said, in a testament to the uncertainty surrounding the sighting, fellow witness Kaliszewska was skeptical of that assessment and joked that it could have been an alligator. Similarly split are experts in England as the Port of London Authority told the BBC that it was “unlikely that any sharks would swim that far upstream.” Meanwhile, a spokesperson with the London Wildlife Trust agreed with Webb’s tope theory and marveled at the duo’s “amazing and uncommon sighting of a rare and endangered fish.”

Pigs and Tigers, absolutely bizarre! 

It is absolutely amazing that the Tiger’s instincts didn’t kick in and cause the big cat to feast on the piglets.  These piglets should consider themselves fortunate.  On the other hand, having worked on a large hog farm and seeing many strange things indeed, I’m surprised the big sow pig didn’t eat the tigers. m

Sai Mai, a 26-month-old female tiger, plays with baby pigs at a zoo in Thailand’s Chonburi province, 80 kilometers (50 miles) east of Bangkok, on May 7, 2004?. The Royal Bengali tigress was born in captivity and breast-fed by a female pig for four months after her birth.

The zoo is trying to boost visitor numbers by teaching domestic animals such as pigs, and wild animals such as tigers, to live together in harmony from an early age.
