Whale sharks are huge animals. With the exception of a few whale species, they are the largest creatures in the ocean. They are the biggest fish to have ever lived. They are a member of the shark family, but unlike other sharks, they do not possess teeth. Instead, they have baleen, large, comb-like structures that are used to filter their tiny food from the water. Whale sharks are gentle creatures, unable to intentionally hurt a human. They have no means of fighting predators. They simply outswim them or dive to depths that other animals, such as orcas, cannot follow. These scuba divers in the Galapagos Islands are thrilled to see a gigantic female cruising right through their group as if they weren't there. The diver recording captures a perspective that shows how tiny the people are in comparison with this behemoth. The Galapagos Islands are famous for their efforts in conservation. They have protected and respected the wildlife so effectively that it is still one of the most diverse areas in the world. The whale sharks come here for the safety and the cleaning stations, where other fish such as trevallies and silky sharks rid them of unwanted remoras. The remoras attach to the sharks in such numbers that they impede movement and interfere with their gills.

Brazil is the home of the Pantanal, the world's largest and most significant floodplain. Animals here roam throughout a vast grassland during the dry season. But, during the rainy season, the water rises and reduces the amount of dry area drastically. Caiman, members of the crocodile family dominate the swamps and bask in the sunshine. Piranha, anacondas, capybara, and birds wade in the shallows and try to find food where they can. This zebu cow grazes among dozens of caiman as if there is nothing to fear. The caiman, even with enormous mouths full of teeth, seem to be more worried about being stepped on by the cow.

Octopus hiding and suddenly showing off. This octopus was filmed while snorkelling in Makadi Bay / Egypt / Red Sea. What a fantastic animal, and it's certainly a master of camouflage. Incredible footage!

This young Labrador puppy was absolutely hilarious at his first visit to the beach; he just couldn't contain his excitement & started spinning around in circles over and over again! Soo funny!

Southern screamers are one of the largest birds in South America. Almost 1m (3 feet) tall, they have a massive wingspan of 1.5m (4.5 feet). They resemble prehistoric creatures with their head plumage and huge feet. This mating pair were found in the wetlands of the Pantanal in Brazil. When full-grown, they have few predators able to take them down. They roam the grassy areas in search of food, but they are excellent fliers and capable swimmers. They graze like geese and scratch for food like chickens. These birds typically mate for life, engaging in calling rituals as seen here. Their shrill cries can be heard at a distance of 3km (2 miles). Aptly referred to as screaming, these birds make excellent guards with their loud alarm calls.

How cute is this? Super adorable!

Guests on a tour of a river in Brazil's Pantanal were treated to a view of something rarely recorded. A butterfly was seen fluttering around the face of a huge caiman, a member of the crocodile family, as it sunned itself on the sandy banks of the river. The obvious question was why a butterfly would take the risk of flapping around such a big set of jaws. A veterinarian in the group said she had heard that the butterflies sip the tears of crocs and caiman for the salt and minerals, as well as proteind in the mucous around the eyes. On cue, the butterfly landed on the caiman's eye and began sipping away. Butterflies have recently been documented drinking the tears of caiman. Although it is now believed to be common, the behaviour has rarely been filmed. These guests were seeing something quite extraordinary. The caiman seems unimpressed with having a large insect on its eye. It blinks and tries to rid itself of the annoyance, moving closer to the water as if threatening to take a plunge just to get rid of its little friend. The more time we spend observing the behaviour of animals in the wild, the more we realize that we have much to learn.

The giraffe is one of the most beautiful and majestic animals on earth. It holds the title as the tallest terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant on the planet. It's long neck and striking pattern make it instantly recognized. Giraffes reach a height of 5.7 m (18.7 ft). Fully grown females reach a weight of 1,192 kg (2,628 lb) Females are slightly smaller. Giraffes hold several titles including being the animal with the longest tongue and the strongest tongue. Giraffes have uniquely adapted skull bones to allow them to bend their head back so they can access leaves directly above them. When drought strikes a region, the giraffe has very little competition as it easily reaches the highest foliage. But researchers believe that there is also a possibility that the giraffes with the longest necks require more nutrients than their counterparts, placing them at a disadvantage. The bone structure in a giraffe's head even gives them a very powerful weapon. The bony horns on the top of their head is used in combat with other giraffes to establish dominance. It is also used to deliver extremely powerful blows to predators such as lions and hyenas. With their long neck, they can swing their head like a club. Giraffes are fast runners, being able to maintain speeds of 50km/h (31mph) over great distances and up to 60km/h (37mph) for shorter sprints. This allows them to outrun many predators. A giraffe has a very large heart in comparison with other animals. It also possesses extremely strong esophageal muscles to allow food to pass back up to the mouth for rumination. Giraffes are truly a marvel of nature and a sight to behold. These magnificent animals are part of a wild herd in Kenya, Africa. A close look at a giraffe casually eating in the wild is something that will never be forgotten.
