Does this qualify as child abuse? Today’s funny animated GIF [Image]

Ashraf February 24, 2013 13

Being an American from a distinctly non-American heritage, I have the advantage of seeing life from the viewpoints of two cultures. In particular, I find it interesting how different cultures view child abuse.

In the United States, a parent can potentially be thrown in jail if found guilty of child [...]

Play tug-of-war with tigers at Busch Gardens Zoo in Florida [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 24, 2013 3

As dangerous as they may be, we have seen plenty of instances of humans interacting safely with tigers (and lions). And this applies to playing tug-of-war, too.

The following photos are of Busch Gardens Zoo in Tampa Bay, Florida (USA). As you can see, zoo visitors get to play tug-of-war [...]

Cat vs crocodile — which do you think would win? [Image]

Ashraf February 23, 2013 7

I am sure many dotTechies have cats as pets (presumably the domesticated ones, not the wild ones). If your cat was ever put against a crocodile in a tit-for-tat battle of the wits, teeth, and claws, who do you think would come out on top? Your cat or the crocodile? [...]

Check out the King Cheetah, an extremely rare type of cheetah spotted in the wild only six times [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 21, 2013 6

Love big cats? Don’t love big cats? Who cares, today we have a special treat to share.

I am pretty sure we are all well aware of cheetahs, a type of wild cat. However, do you know there is a particular type of cheetah, called King Cheetah, that is extremely [...]

Tiger + snowball = unique pic [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 18, 2013 4

How many dotTechies have lived, or live, in an area that receives regular snow? If you have, or do, then you probably have played in the snow… including pelting others (friends, family, neighbors, the ice cream truck, etc.) with snowballs. Have you ever tried throwing a snowball at an angry [...]

Ashraf February 16, 2013 8

We have already seen one remarkable man who tickles lions. Now let’s take it one step further and meet the man the lives, feeds, and sleeps with lions.

Kevin Richardson, also known as the ‘Lion Whisperer’, is a South African “animal behaviorist” that has spent considerable up-close-and-personal time with wild [...]

How to subdue a stray crocodile [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 7, 2013 7

Last week we saw photos of the ‘Death Cage’, a tourist attraction where people get inside a pool with a crocodile. Today we have another crocodile photo to share with you. This one, however, is a bit different. This one will help you figure out what to do if a [...]

That is a lot of tigers in one place at the same time [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 6, 2013 4

I am sure everyone has heard a derivative of the joke “how many [insert name here] does it take to screw in a light bulb”. However, I am sure none of you heard the following version: how many tigers does it take to catch a bird? Apparently, many. Check it [...]

Your computer stopped working because the power supply took a nap [Image]

Ashraf February 5, 2013 5

Ever come to your computer and try to turn it on, but it just won’t do it? You smash the power button as hard as you can but your computer just refuses to turn on. You call tech support, ask all your friends for help, and even put on your [...]

‘Clouded leopards’ look awesome, regardless of if you like big cats or not [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 4, 2013 7

In the past I have been (playfully) accused of being overly obsessive with big cats. I denied it and, to prove my innocence, I stopped posting about big cats for a while. You know, like five days. Maybe.

Oh screw it. I’m lying. I didn’t actually purposefully stop posting about [...]

It takes a lot of guts to get inside the ‘Cage of Death’, a pool with a crocodile [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf February 2, 2013 3

Last month we saw some photos and a video of man who spent time with polar bears, a man who came face-to-face with one in fact (with thick glass in between, of course). Today I have something similar to share with you, except this time it has to do with [...]

This is the ‘Pacific barreleye’, a fish with a transparent head (!) [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf January 31, 2013 4

Okay, before I share today’s find with you, let me say that, when I first came across this, I was astonished and swore it was some sort of photoshopped trick. However, the Pacific barreleye fish is real and it really has a transparent head. Here is how National Geographic describes [...]

Breathtaking encounter of a tiger and a little baby girl [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf January 28, 2013 6

Taj is a 370lb Golden Bengal Tiger in Cougar Mountain Zoo in Issaquah, Washington (the state). One day a little baby girl approached his cage, placing her hands out in amazement on the glass separating the two. Instead of simply ignoring the girl or snarling at her, Taj did something [...]

What would you do if you saw these two beasts running at you? [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf January 23, 2013 24

If I were to say today I have another photo of lions to share with you, would you accuse me of being a cat lover? ‘Cause I am not. I just happen to find awesome photos of big, wild cats.

In any case, I do indeed have a photo of [...]

Tigers have made repeated appearances on dotTech’s Amazing Photo of the Day, while we also had a day where I shared a few liger photos I found on the Internet. How about a tiger and a liger in the same image?

This little French girl is the real world version of Tarzan [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf January 17, 2013 29

Tippi Degré is French. However, her parents were (are) wildlife photographer parents so she spent much of her childhood in Namibia where her parents did their work. In Namibia, Tippi lived a life most people would only attribute to the fictional Tarzan; playing with wild animals, hugging wild animals, feeding [...]

Can you find the hidden animals in these photos? [Amazing Photo of the Day]

Ashraf January 12, 2013 13

Armed forces around the world prefer to wear ‘camo’ or ‘camouflaged’ clothes for the purposes of being able to better blend into natural surroundings. I’m not sure how well army camo gear works but various animals around the world have natural camouflage that allows them to blend in with their [...]
