The Coolest Dude Among All Animals

The-Coolest-Dude-Among-All-AnimalsTamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla) is a smaller specie of anteaters and are the closest related to sloths and armadillos. Owners say that the Tamandua are the ‘perfect’ anteaters; just the right size, and just the right amount of attitude.
By looking at the pictures it seems they know how special they look, and don't mind posing in sweaters and other handmade clothes. According to owners they know how to open windows, drawers, cabinets and containers and they respond to their name. The downside to owning this pet is that they like tearing things up and will use their long claws on almost anything, including your furniture. They also need to follow a very strict and diet. And lastly they come with a hefty price tag of approximately $4500. Tamanduas are very loving, but just like cats, they tend to "let you" love them...

The Real Crocodile Dundee

The-Real-Crocodile-DundeeChito made friends with the croc after finding him with a gunshot wound on the banks of the Central American state's Parismina river 20 years ago. He had been shot in the left eye by a cattle farmer and was close to death. But Chito enlisted the help of several pals to load the massive reptile into his boat.
He says: "When I found Pocho in the river he was dying, so I brought him into my house". "He was very skinny, weighing only around 150lb I gave him chicken and fish and medicine for six months to help him recover. "I stayed by Pocho's side while he was ill, sleeping next to him at night. I just wanted him to feel that somebody loved him, that not all humans are bad. It meant a lot of sacrifice. I had to be there every day. I love all animals - especially ones that have suffered."

Coffins by Republic of Ghana

Coffins-from-GhanaFor the Ga tribe in coastal Republic of Ghana, funerals are a time of mourning, but also of celebration. The Ga citizenry believe that when their loved ones die, they move on into some other life -- and the Ga make sure they do so in style. They honor their dead with brightly colored coffins that celebrate the way they lived.
The coffins are designed to represent an aspect of the dead person's life -- such as a car if they were a driver, a fish if their livelihood was the sea -- or a sewing machine for a seamstress. They might also represent a vice -- such as a bottle of beer or a cigaret...
