This video clip is sure to enhance your day! It features two of our favourite animals, in what can only be described as amazing. And while it is amazing, as we already know at the Adore Animals Foundation, it’s not unusual. Animals never cease to inspire, fascinate and teach us something new every day. Incidently, [...]

A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to attend the Chengdu Panda Research Centre in Sichuan, China. In fact, I went every day while in Chengdu, so fascinating were these Giant Pandas and their distant relatives the Red Panda, who are also at the centre. From the Giant Panda’s methodical stripping of leaves – one panda stripped [...]

As these elephants show, in this amazing video footage from National Geographic filmed in the Okavango Delta National Park in Botswana, just like humans, these young male elephants just want to have fun.
Elephants can be mischievous and cheeky and as this rare footage of elephants show, just like human boys, what good fun it is to act rough and tumble, splash and role-play.

It’s the festive season so we thought this video from the BBC’s animal show Weird Nature would be an apt way to bring in the New Year. These Vervet Monkeys on the island of St Kitts in the Caribbean have developed quite a taste for alcohol, so much so, they’ve even been the subject of [...]

Animals never cease to amaze me. And one of the finest examples is the Bumblebee. Their systems of hive organisation and individual rank and role seem highly evolved for such a small creature. Add in the facts that bees can fly at speeds of more than 45 kilometres an hour, carry 90 per cent of [...]

In this clip from the BBC’s Weird Nature, we meet a salamander and a caterpillar with a great trick for getting downhill in a hurry. Why walk if you can roll?
You can also view this clip in a larger format on our [...]

Earlier in the week, we brought you an ad for the The Shelter Pet Project. So, to end the week, we thought we’d bring you another.
In this funny, 30-second TV ad, which aims to give shelter pets a voice, we hear a dog’s take on prison versus shelters! The reason this dog is carted to a rehoming centre is due to it’s dodgy [...]

Although our first project is dog rehoming, did you know that it also supports cats? There’s been some pretty amazing research on dog rehoming published recently (with other studies underway). Some of these studies, by Australian researchers, assess the success of research-based dog rehoming programs, which concentrate on destressing techniques in shelters, owner/dog bonding and training and post-training and [...]

In this 30-second TV ad for the The Shelter Pet Project humour is used to help tackle some of the myths about pets from rehoming centres.
The Shelter Pet Project is a US joint venture between the Humane Society of the United States, Maddie’s Fund and the Ad Council. It’s goal is to give shelter pets a [...]

Here’s another opportunity to take a few moments and slow down. In our Slow Motion Sundays posts, we take a weekly look at the animal kingdom in slow motion.
In this Sunday’s video from the BBC’s Animal Camera you’ll see incredible, super slo-mo footage of the fastest tongue in the world and meet the tiny Mantis [...]
