How do you get a rat to laugh? Telling a joke won’t work, but scientists say a rat will laugh when tickled–and they’re not joking.

One of the most cited studies on this interesting animal behavior comes from Dr. Jaak Panksepp, professor of veterinary and comparative anatomy at Washington State University in Pullman.

Rats laugh when tickled–just like humans.

Holy sheep! You may not notice it on first glance, but if you take a closer look, you can see that this is no ordinary lamb. According to the U.K. Daily Mail, this woolly animal has defied gravity with its upside-down head.

Allan McNamara was strolling through the small town of Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, when he and his friend spotted the sheep. “I couldn’t believe it. I’m friends with a girl who has a horse on the farm and she was like, “Aww, Allan, come and have a look at this sheep.'”

Squid Detaches Arms In Self-Defense, Octopoteuthis Deletron VIDEO Shows

Many deep-sea squid dispel an ink cloud to flee a predator, but one species goes a step farther: It ensures a getaway by counterattacking and then ditching the tips of its arms. These detached bits can continue to twitch and emit bioluminescent light—likely providing a vital distraction. By catching this strange maneuver on camera, scientists have established Octopoteuthis deletron as the only known squid to drop portions of its arms in self-defense, much as lizards drop their tails before escaping.

its arms in self-defense after it alighted on a

bottle brush left out by biologists.

RECEIVED TIS IN AN EMAIL FROM A FRIEND

Two women were out for a Saturday stroll. One had a Doberman and the other, a Chihuahua . As they walked down the street, the one with the Doberman said to her friend, “Let’s go over to that bar for a drink..”

The lady with the Chihuahua said, “We can’t go in there. We’ve got dogs with us.”

The one with the Doberman said, “Just watch, and do as I do.”

They walked over to the bar and the one with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk in.
The bouncer at the door said, “Sorry, lady, no pets allowed.”
The woman with the Doberman said, “You don’t understand.
This is my seeing-eye dog.”
The bouncer said, “A Doberman?”
The woman said, “Yes, they’re using them now. They’re very good.”
The bouncer said, “OK, come on in.”
The lady with the Chihuahua thought that convincing him that a Chihuahua was a seeing-eye dog may be a bit more difficult, but thought,”What the heck,” so she put on her dark glasses and started to walk in.

Once again the bouncer said, “Sorry, lady, no pets allowed.”

The woman said, “You don’t understand. This is my seeing-eye dog”

The bouncer said, “A Chihuahua?”
The woman with the Chihuahua said, ……….

“A Chihuahua ? They gave me a f***ing Chihuahua ?!”

The take off is tricky, but the landing can sometimes be the last one.

Lots of time and effort were expended on these beautiful Models. And some of the landings were very nicely done.
