Lion costs leading AI company half a million after risky experiment. In Africa, researchers pushed the limits of AI by sending their prototype robot face to in face with a lion.
Before the trial, the machine had been prepped with hundreds of animal images and books on emotions. It could identify joy, sadness, anger, and fear. On paper, it was flawless. But the moment the lion appeared, the system broke down. The logs showed only:
“Cat big. Scared.”
Then it glitched, repeating “scared” more than 100 times until it froze completely. Memory wipes didn’t help. The fear was buried so deep that every time the robot saw a four legged creature, from a goat to a house cat, it responded the same way: “No. Scared.”
Engineers eventually had to tear out part of its CPU, a fix that cost the company half a million dollars and nearly eight months of work. The experiment ended with the first robot in history diagnosed with PTSD. #animals #wholesome

San Francisco, for all of its problems, is still the most beautiful city in America.

In an extraordinary act of compassion, an aquarium manager built a tiny underwater “wheelchair” for a goldfish unable to swim upright.
Using zip ties, tubing, and small pieces of Styrofoam for buoyancy, he created a supportive device that allowed the goldfish to float normally and move around again.
This story touched millions online, showing how innovation and empathy can change lives—even for the smallest creatures.
Goldfish with swim bladder disease often lose control over their buoyancy, causing them to sink or float uncontrollably. In most cases, such fish cannot survive long, but this inventive solution gave the goldfish a second chance at life. Videos of the fish swimming with its custom device quickly went viral, sparking admiration worldwide.
This simple invention also highlights broader possibilities in animal rehabilitation. With creativity and care, even low-cost solutions can improve animal welfare. It reminds us that technology does not have to be complex to make a meaningful impact—it only needs compassion and ingenuity.

What you’re looking at isn’t a horror movie prop, it’s an actual piece of furniture, made from human skin, faces and bones, discovered in the home of Ed Gein, one of the most disturbing criminals in American history. When police entered his rural Wisconsin farmhouse in 1957, they found chairs, lampshades, bowls, masks, and even a belt, all made from human skin, faces, and bones.
Ed Gein wasn’t a prolific serial killer, but what made him infamous was what he did with the bodies. Most of his gruesome "crafts" came from corpses he dug up from local graveyards. But he did kill at least two women, including a local hardware store owner whose body was found decapitated and gutted like a deer.
The horror inside his home was beyond anything authorities had seen. Among the findings: a box of noses, a wastebasket made of flesh, and a human face used as a window shade pull. Gein confessed that he wanted to create a “woman suit” so he could become his dead mother, a fixation that would later inspire some of Hollywood’s most iconic killers, including Norman Bates, Leatherface, and Buffalo Bill. He was declared legally insane and spent the rest of his life in a mental institution, dying in 1984.

Gorilla seen using club to save baby from crocodile in congo creek A wildlife photographer following a family of gorillas in the Republic of Congo captured an astonishing moment on camera. While recording the troop near a creek, a sudden yelp pierced the air. The alpha male instantly sprinted down the bank, where he found a baby gorilla caught in the jaws of a crocodile.
Grabbing a heavy branch, the alpha swung with explosive force, striking the reptile until it released the infant. The baby scrambled free as the crocodile slithered back into the water while the photographer snapped the once in a lifetime photo.
