Bear Knocks Down New Jersey Man, Steals His Sandwich

Though his face is "all messed up," Henry Rouwendal is otherwise fine. It's safe to assume, though, that his Italian hoagie, "loaded with salami and other meats, lettuce, onions, and tomatoes" has been completely mauled by this time. [NJ.com]...

Video: Hungry Kitty Begs for Food

This video consists of 17 seconds of "Aww, cute!" followed by nine seconds of "OH MY GOD, oh god, so cute, SOOO CUTE," accompanied by squeals of delight. Or maybe that was just me. Watch the video after the jump....

Cute Paintings of Animals Eating Food

It's time you decorate your home with more paintings of cute animals eating food in ways you wouldn't find in nature. I don't mind pretending that a walrus's tusks are indeed meant to hold bagels or that whales wear bowties while eating muffins. Paintings for $25-$30, from VerySmallAnna on Etsy...

In Videos: Dogs Baking Bread

Another reason why Sesame Street just rocks. In this educational segment on baking bread from the early 1990s, William Wegman's Weimaraner dogs knead blobs of dough in floral aprons (with human hands, that's key). The bakers seem pretty apathetic about the whole process, minus the licking the dough part (I feel ya, man!). It's unclear whether this becomes more or less creepy as an adult. The video, after the jump....

In Videos: Man Sleeps With Pigs for BBC Documentary

It’s one thing to read about the conditions in which factory-farm animals are kept. But it’s another to actually live the life of a pig slated for bacon. For a recent BBC documentary, titled My Life as an Animal actor Richard da Costa spent four days in the pigpen—sleeping on a bed of straw, feeding on soy-alfalfa pellets (“so disgusting that you would rather go hungry”), and dodging the frequent tussles of his snorty pen-mates. Did bonding with the piggies turn da Costa off meat for good? “It was two months before I could eat pig after coming out of the farm,” he writes in the corresponding article. But his aversion didn’t last. “I finally cracked…I was lured back...

Photo of the Day: Bird Cooking Spaghetti

The bird is actually of Japanese origin according to Japanese Bird Cooking Spaghetti. For the record, there's nothing else on the site. Its sole purpose: to document a winged creature making your average fictional meal.

In Videos: 'Cooking with Dog' Makes Low-Fat Gyudon

I don’t know why we’ve never blogged about this video series before. You'd think Robyn would have been all over this—it's Japanese, it's cute, and it involves animals. And before you go there, it's about cooking along with a dog. A dog named Francis, who, as a friend pointed out, makes surprisingly sophisticated recipes. I mean, Cooking with Dog could easily have gone into superkitsch territory, in which the food was secondary to the talking-dog shtick. But, it doesn't. Probably because it’s from Japan and because the dog, a poodle, is of French origin. And, as you know, both cultures take their food very seriously. [Get cookin' with the video, after the jump.]...

In Videos: Anteater Drinking Wine

You know an anteater really loves wine when his hooked claw (shoot, that thing hasn't seen a file in years) grabs the hand holding the goblet to keep it steady. Glug, glug, glug. Luckily, there won't be much anteater aching tomorrow—it's really just sparkling cran-apple juice. Side note: who just casually has an anteater in their living room, let alone one swigging back a mysterious red beverage? The video, after the jump....

Cutting Board Meets Bird Feeder

Looking out for our feathered friends, this cutting board-bird feeder allows otherwise wasted crumbs to travel through holes, and then a tube, straight to a bird's very happy beak. Or he could just swoop in and take the whole loaf when you're not looking.

Birds Stealing Ice Cream Cones

I love this photo gallery of birds stealing ice cream at a seaside esplanade. Look at that rascal above; you can practically see the greed in his eyes. And, at least for a moment, this poor woman is blissfully oblivious to the carnage going on. [via MetaFilter]...
