US: Cat Mother Drags Reluctant Kitten Across Living Room

On November 20, 2025, a mother cat was captured on camera grabbing her kitten by the head and carrying it into the living room, staggering slightly under the kitten's weight. The kitten loudly protested, clearly not wanting to be moved, and ran away as soon as the mother cat put him down. The mother cat looked up at her owner, her expression a mixture of helplessness and apologetic. The scene humorously suggested that, like human children, baby animals often resist their parents' guidance. This brief moment vividly illustrated the universal difficulty of "parenting."

China: Cat Dominates Shiba Inu After Paw Provocation

On November 19, 2025, in Jiangsu Province in eastern China, a video captured a domestic standoff between a blue cat and a Shiba Inu. The two were lying on a blanket when the dog reached out with a paw, seemingly trying to provoke the cat. The hefty blue cat quickly retaliated, delivering a series of swift paw strikes. Clearly outmatched, the Shiba Inu let out a frustrated protest before giving up and lying back down. Victorious, the blue cat fixed its gaze on the dog, firmly asserting control over the situation.

China: Golden Retriever Rolls in Snow for Dry Bath

On February 14, 2025, in Liaoning Province in northeastern China, a video captured a golden retriever rolling back and forth in a snowy field. The dog flipped over repeatedly, covering its body with fresh snow. The dog’s fur appeared clean and fluffy as it continued to tumble across the ground, clearly enjoying the motion. Snow scattered around its body each time it turned. The owner explained that the snow in the region is loose and powdery, and that a quick shake removes it without soaking the fur.

China: Greedy Hamster Tries to Swallow Oversized Snack in Sichuan

On December 15, 2023, in Sichuan, a pet owner captured a hilarious yet shocking moment as their golden hamster tried to swallow a tube-shaped snack nearly bigger than its body. The hamster pushed the food deeper and deeper into its cheek pouches until most of it disappeared. Alarmed, the owner quickly pulled it out, but the hamster still looked eager to continue eating, its cheeks bulging comically. Chinese viewers laughed at the greedy rodent’s determination, joking that “this hamster clearly doesn’t know its limits.

Satellite View of Gulf of Morbihan - France

Handout Satellite View, dated October 17, 2025, shows the Gulf of Morbihan in France. The Gulf of Morbihan, part of the Natura 2000 network, forms one of France’s most distinctive coastal landscapes. This inland sea is dotted with dozens of small islands and peninsulas, creating a labyrinth of sheltered bays, narrow channels, and shifting tidal flats. Its highly indented shape supports a mosaic of coastal habitats, from eelgrass meadows to mudflats, which provide vital feeding and breeding grounds for migratory birds and numerous marine species. Located in Brittany, near towns such as Vannes, Arradon, and Arzon, the gulf’s intricate contours are clearly visible in this Copernicus Sentinel-2 image acquired on 17 October 2025. The deep blues highlight the flooded channels at high tide, while surrounding vegetation appears in bright green. Photo by European Union, Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery via ABACAPRESS.COM

Huelva Estuary in Spain

Handout photo dated on November 16, 2025 shows Huelva Estuary in Spain. On 16 November 2025, one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites acquired this image of the Huelva estuary in south-western Spain, where the Tinto and Odiel rivers converge before flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. Recent rainfall has increased surface runoff and sediment transport, strengthening the contrasting outflow from the two rivers. The image shows distinct colour variations produced by differences in water chemistry and suspended materials. As these waters mix with tidal currents, they create gradual transitions and clearly defined plumes, highlighting the estuary’s dynamic behaviour. Copernicus Sentinel satellite data enables continuous monitoring of river plumes, estuarine dynamics, and land-sea interactions. This information is important for assessing the environmental impact of sediment transport, supporting water quality monitoring, and informing coastal zone management in fragile ecosystems.

First images From Copernicus Sentinel-5A

Handout photo dated October 13, 2025 shows Copernicus Sentinel-5A has delivered its first images after its launch on 13 August 2025, marking a significant milestone in the monitoring of air quality from space. The Sentinel-5 mission provides observations of key air pollutants, essential climate variables, and stratospheric ozone, which is the protective layer shielding life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. This visualisation, created with Sentinel-5A data acquired on 13 October 2025, shows atmospheric concentrations of two trace gases: ozone (O₃) and formaldehyde (HCHO). The image on the left presents the formaldehyde vertical column density. Elevated concentrations along the northwestern coast of Angola are linked to emissions from wildfires, while increased levels over the Central African Republic stem from a combination of fire activity and biogenic emissions. The image on the right shows a global map of ozone. The hole in stratospheric ozone above Antarctica is clearly visible, with column den

Satellite Image Shows Mount Etna Spewing Lava From Above

Handout photo dated June 2, 2025, shows The Copernicus Sentinel-2C satellite acquired an image of the area at 09:40 UTC, just minutes after the onset of the eruption. On the left, the natural colour image clearly depicts a dense ash plume in the summit crater area, partially obscured by a pyrocumulus cloud drifting westward towards inland Sicily. On the right, a false colour composite using shortwave infrared channels reveals the intense thermal signature of active lava flows descending into the Valle del Bove. Jaw-dropping satellite images shows Mount Etna erupting. At 11:24 am local time on 2 June, the most active volcano in Europe produced a spectacular eruption, propelling a dense column of ash and smoke several kilometres into the atmosphere. According to Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), the eruption originated from the South East Crater, one of the most active summit vents in recent years. The event was characterised by vigorous Strombolian activity, lava effusion, and a
