China: Kitten Wobbles on Hind Legs After First Taste of Corn

A kitten in Xinjiang had a hilarious reaction to tasting corn for the first time on November 30, 2025. After chewing awkwardly, it suddenly stood on its hind legs, wobbling like it was “tipsy.” The owner said the young cat had few teeth and raised its paws to keep the corn from falling, melting viewers’ hearts online.

UK: Severe Weather Persists Across Country, Travel Chaos Continues

Warnings for snow, ice, and rain are in place across parts of the UK on Monday, January 6, after snow and freezing rain swept across the country over the weekend. Parts of England are being warned of potential flooding due to rain and melting snow caused by milder temperatures. This video was shot in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, by Demi Lewis, who was traveling with her partner Nathan Christopher Kelemen. According to Nathan, they were heading home from Manchester Airport when they were diverted due to the weather. They spun out multiple times, slid backwards down hills twice, and genuinely feared they would be stranded until the snow cleared. Fortunately, they were driving a four-wheel-drive Kia Sportage, which helped them through the tough conditions, though they passed many stranded people along the way. The trip, which should have taken 1 hour and 20 minutes, took almost 4 hours due to the conditions, Nathan added.

China: Melting Snow Due To High Temperatures Causes Flooding In Taklamakan Desert, Xinjiang

On August 24, 2024, a surprising natural event unfolded in the Taklamakan Desert near Aksu, Xinjiang, in northwestern China. A woman who was there for an off-road trip discovered significant flooding across the desert landscape, with water levels reaching as deep as one meter in certain areas, resulting in vehicles that were difficult to drive or even stalled. The local Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography described the phenomenon in an interview as a river overflow caused by high temperatures melting snow on nearby mountains, and that it actually happens once a year and is not uncommon. In particular, this year's high temperatures and heavy precipitation in Xinjiang in July led to extra snow melt.
