goose vs cow feature

This fierce goose has no flocks left to give!

When you think of fierce animals, you probably imagine lions, tigers, alligators or even a snake right?

Well, hold my animal cracker, because this footage of a Canadian Goose facing a herd of angry cows might just change your mind.

The video posted to the Weird Animals Twitter account shows the goose barely flinching aS several cranky cows try to scare it.

You could even say the poor goose was being bull-ied. But that goose wasn't taking any crap from those cows.

We Aussies probably don't know much about the Canadian bird, but plenty of commenters were familiar with its goosing tactics.

Canadian Geese are famous for flying in those beautiful V formations and they also have a loud honk, which is super cute.

But one commenter had an explanation for the fearless behaviour.

A quick google of the Canadian Goose tell us the male is a fierce defender of his mate and babies, and will happily charge an enemy.

We love you Canadian Goose, and respect your fighting spirit. We think it needs to go on the Canadian flag instead of the maple leaf!

Paradiso Zero Suite

This hotel room is not one for introverts, or anyone who hates being watched while they’re sleeping! (Actually that’s most of us right? Mega creepy.)

A hotel in Spain is offering guests a free night’s stay with one very clear catch!

Not only does the Zero Suite have see-through walls, it’s also smack bang in the middle of the hotel’s busy lobby with people passing at all hours.

The Zero Suite is at the Paradise Art Hotel in Spain, where hotel management says a stay in there is "not for the faint of heart". 

TikToK user Olympia Anley has already given a review of her overnight stay in the room, which has gone viral:

@olympiaanley i’ve made a lot of friends tonight #ibiza #paradiso #art ♬ Lights - Em1r

"This would be my worst nightmare" wrote one commenter while another said, "I wouldn't be able to get to sleep with the thought of them watching me".

"Imagine the weird people who are just gonna stand there watching you sleep. No thank you. I'll sleep in the bathroom lol" noted one commenter, to which Olympia responded: "If you’re asleep you don’t even know!" 

"See this kinda attitude would kill you in a horror movie💀" was the hilarious response to that.

But in a description of the room on the hotel's website, it points out the room is not just for sleeping: A glass walled room in the middle of Paradise Art Hotel’s lobby where you can sleep one night for free. Not for the faint of heart. Also available for artsy performances, radio broadcasts, DJ sets…the possibilities are endless as long as you like being the centre of attention.

A post on the hotel's Instagram had a comment from someone who'd taken up the sleep offer, saying: "Had half a nights sleep in there!! People banging on teh windows not fun bit teh experience was great!!".

Of course, the biggest question is: Where’s the toilet? The website doesn’t explain that one.

Thankfully the answer is what you'd hope it would be:

@olympiaanley Reply to @wellaliceitseems would you stay in this hotel room? #ibiza #free #hotel ♬ original sound - Olympia Anley

Yes, the bathroom is private. That would be too weird otherwise. No one needs to see that!

US actor James Caan, who starred as gangster Sonny Corleone in epic mafia film The Godfather, has died at age 82, his family says in a statement.

The statement, posted on Caan's official Twitter account, said the actor died on Wednesday evening.

No cause of death or location was provided.

"The family appreciates the outpouring of love and heartfelt condolences and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time," the statement said.

Caan was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor for his portrayal of the hot-tempered Corleone in 1972's The Godfather.

He reprised the role in flashback scenes in The Godfather: Part II in 1974.

Other nominations included four Golden Globes and an Emmy.

His career spanned six decades and included a broad range of other roles in movies from psychological thriller Misery to comedy Elf.

Last year, he starred in romantic comedy Queen Bees opposite Ellen Burstyn.

James Edmund Caan was born in the Bronx borough of New York City on March 26, 1940 to German Jewish immigrants.

One of three siblings, Caan began acting on television in 1961.

He gained widespread acclaim for his role in the 1971 TV movie Brian's Song, in which he played real-life Chicago Bears American football player Brian Piccolo, who died of cancer at age 26.

The role earned Caan an Emmy nomination.

Billy Dee Williams, who starred with Caan in Brian's Song, shared an undated photo of the two together in recent years on his Twitter account.

"Team Mates and friends till the end. RIP Jimmy," Williams tweeted with a broken heart emoji.

Actor Adam Sandler, who co-starred with Caan in 1996 comedy Bulletproof, said he "always wanted to be like him".

"Never ever stopped laughing when I was around that man. His movies were best of the best," Sandler said on Twitter.

20220706 gucci pet collection

Can you imagine spending this much on your pet?

We all spoil our pets in ways big and small, but Gucci has just redefined "pampered pet" with the release of its luxury pet collection.

The range includes dog and cat sized couches, collars, clothing and covers for food bowls as well as leashes, harnesses and travel accessories for extravagant getaways with your fur baby.

Their website explains, "Each piece encompasses the joy and companionship that stems from the unique relationships between pets and people."

Yeah yeah, we get all that companionship stuff, but who expected that to come at such a price?

(Okay, yes it's Gucci, of course we did.)

The cheapest item in the range is a $295 pet tag featuring the Gucci logo and space to engrave your pet’s name, made from gold-toned brass. And the most expensive item is a bed resembling a mini sofa for $12,700. 

Obviously that sofa is for well-behaved dogs who would never dream of chewing your precious furniture out of boredom or doing a sneaky pee on it because it’s too wet and cold to go outside thankyouverymuch.

And as one Facebook commenter noted: "Cats will always prefer the paper box gucci will use to send the cat's bed." 

Honestly, we think the real joy comes from watching these adorable cats and dogs play in the promotional video:

There’s also a pet carrier for $5,050 because if your dog is wearing Gucci, she definitely doesn’t deserve to stay at home where no-one can see her fabulousness. And you might as well team it with a travel bowl set for $6,645 to complete the set. Total cost: more than your average family holiday, looks like we'll be camping next year.

Finally, you can also get a poo bag carry case starting at $570, bags not included. Actually, this might be worth it, those plastic bone-shaped poo bag holders are ridiculous.

With all this expensive loot on your pet, you might want to invest in an air tag to track your darling in case she runs off. Hold up! Gucci sells a range of fashionable air tag holders to slip onto your pet’s collar, starting at $355. Better get two just in case and put one on that expensive coat.

Those who live through their pets will probably jump at the chance to buy Gucci for their fur baby even if they can’t afford Gucci for themselves. And those who can afford Gucci… well, can you send my dog a birthday gift please? A fancy little mat for $490 to sit under her current scratched up food bowl will be delightful! 

In the meantime, we’ll just wait for the inevitable knock-offs to appear. Fluffy won’t notice the difference, right?
