An elephant walks into a grocery store, so the joke goes, except this ain’t a joke. An elephant in Thailand, Plai Biang Lek—basically a 10,000-pound foodie—really walked into a convenience store at 3 a.m., casually raided the snack aisle, and dipped with a bag of treats like it was no big deal. He downed nine bags of sweet rice crackers, a sandwich, and some dried bananas. Didn't break anything except a few floor tiles and maybe the store owner's will to live.

Locals know him—he’s kind of the neighborhood freeloader. Apparently, breaking into kitchens wasn’t enough, so now he’s adding convenience stores and random bedrooms to his food tour.

Why? Because humans keep taking up elephant turf for farming, so now they’re like, “Fine, we’ll take your snacks then.”

So get this—Dilly Dally, a teenage sea turtle (yes, even turtles have their awkward years), just made a totally epic comeback to the Atlantic Ocean like the slowest, most determined underdog in a sports movie.

Back in January 2025, she was minding her own turtle business near Port St. Lucie, Florida when some rude predator decided to turn her into a chew toy. Long story short: she lost a front flipper. You’d think that would end her swimming career, right? Nah.

Fast forward a few months and she’s chilling at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center getting five-star turtle rehab—probably bingeing ocean documentaries and eating fancy seaweed smoothies or whatever turtles do when they’re healing.

Then boom—June 4, 2025, Dilly Dally gets released back into the wild like a boss. People even showed up to cheer. The weather tried to cancel her debut (rude), but she said, “Nope, I got fans.”

Oh—and they slapped a satellite tracker on her shell, so now she’s basically the sea turtle version of a NASA project. Smithsonian’s watching her every move like she’s some kind of flippered influencer.

Why? Science. Also because she’s kind of a big deal now.

In a heart-stopping moment shared by the Mesa County Sheriff's Office on April 2, a dog named Yogi had an unforgettable brush with danger at the Colorado National Monument.

Yogi and her owner had pulled over to enjoy the scenic view. As her owner opened the car door to bring her along, Yogi—bursting with excitement—leapt from the vehicle and ran toward the edge. Unaware of the canyon’s drop, she tragically fell over 100 feet before landing on a rocky shelf below.

Thanks to the quick response from local search and rescue teams, Yogi’s story didn’t end there. The brave pup was rescued and—miraculously—survived the fall.

It's a reminder that even the best girls can get a little too excited for adventure.
