The Bare Necessities – The Jungle Book – Baloo Shines

Hands up who doesn’t enjoy this song. No one? I thought so. This is one of the most swingingest tracks you are gonna hear this side of Armageddon, which won’t be long coming if Trump and Netanyahu get their way. Baloo is in fine form here as he instructs Moglai in the ways of the […]

Newborn Wildebeest Versus Hyena

OK, maybe a Hyena hunting a cute iddy biddy baby Wildebeest is not the most appetizing way to spend your day. But hold up a mo! It doesn’t always end in sadness. Maybe the hyena really enjoys the flesh of this animal, and loves to bring home the meat for its own young who are […]
