With winter already here, many of us are dealing with the sudden influx of snow. It’s funny how something we used to love and enjoy so much as kids becomes one of the most inconvenient parts of the season as we grow older. Somewhere along the line, many of us lost our sense of fun, and we don’t appreciate the fun-filled potential the snow and cold weather has to offer us. For those of us who live in more rural areas, snowmobiling is a great activity that can bring some joy back into winter. Especially if you are the type that loves to explore the wilderness and trek through the woods, snowmobiling is an exhilarating way to spend some time outdoors. However, this hobby should not be taken on without proper safety precautions and training by an experienced rider. According to a study published on the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s website: “Today, snowmobiling has become a popular winter sport enjoyed by more than 2 million people of all ages in North America. However, the modern snowmobile can weigh in excess of 600 pounds and travel at speeds exceeding 90 miles per hour. Each year snowmobile accidents produce approximately 200 deaths and 14,000 injuries. Excess speed, alcohol, driver inexperience, and poor judgment are the leading causes of accidents. Injuries incurred in children and adults often are extremity fractures, but can involve any organ system.” If snowmobiling is something that you enjoy, the vehicle in this video is sure to be of interest to you. Manufactured by My Track Technology, the MTT-136 features a unique design with the tracks mounted at the front. This allows it to more easily climb out of deep snow trenches and traverse difficult terrain. In fact, it can be used in a variety of trail conditions during any season. The best part is that it’s all electric, so there is no exhaust or excessive noise pollution. Be sure to check out the company’s website to learn more about this incredible vehicle.

As drones become more commonplace we, as a society, will gradually start to learn the rules of decorum for operating these devices. Here’s a public service announcement for drone operators looking to get into nature photography: Do not mess with a mama kangaroo and her baby or you might just lose your drone. That’s the lesson one unlucky pilot learned recently and their loss is our gain. It starts innocently enough, with a quick fly over and some candid shots. Then the pilot gets just a little too close and mama decides she’s had just about enough. With a powerful running start, this proud parent snatches the flying nuisance right out of the sky. Remember drone users, soar responsibly, or mama kangaroo might be coming for you next. Read more: http://www.wimp.com/mama-kangaroo-drone-baby/

Back in 2012, YouTube user bill16504 was relaxing in his living room along with his pet black and white bunny rabbit, Pep. One of Pep’s favorite things to do is to hang out by the glass door on sunny days where she can soak up the heat. On this particular day, Bill recalls that there were a lot of wild rabbits out and about in the yard since it was mating season. One of those rabbits ends up on the deck on the other side of the glass. When he sees Pep? Let’s just say it was love at first sight. The wild rabbit stares at Pep and looks longingly at her through the glass. Anytime she moves out of view, he patiently awaits her return. Although it would probably be really cute, in theory at least, to let these two star-crossed lovers meet and give each other adorable bunny kisses and cuddles, it’s definitely best that Bill kept the door firmly shut. Rabbits are notorious breeders and the resulting half-wild/half-domesticated offspring from such a coupling would be pretty high maintenance. Sadly, these two must remain unrequited lovers forevermore. Read more: http://www.wimp.com/wild-rabbit-falls-in-love-with-pet-bunny/

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, there’s no doubt you’ve heard at least one Adele cover this year. After she released her latest album in 2015, the Internet was flooded with renditions of the album’s number one breakout single, “Hello.” People (and dogs!) everywhere just can’t seem to resist the award-winning singer and her numerous soulful hits. But just because you’ve seen countless Adele impersonations and covers, doesn’t mean you’ve seen it all … unless you’ve already seen the incredibly impressive Olivia Kay. Now twelve years old, Olivia was a mere decade old when she performed this version of “Rolling in the Deep” that could give the original a run for its money. The young singer and actress hails from Edmond, Oklahoma, a suburb of the state’s capital. She first began singing at the age of seven, when her innate talent was instantly recognized. She began training with a vocal coach and within months had her first public gig: performing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at an Oklahoma RedHawks baseball game. So how did Olivia feel when she experienced her first brush with Internet fame, brought on by this YouTube video? “Oh my gosh. That’s pretty much all I can say,” Olivia exclaimed. And if you’re wondering, her song choice was very deliberate. “It’s not exactly a little-kid kind of song. It’s more of a challenging song, and I like big, challenging songs that are harder and tougher.” It’s safe to say she stayed true to her word! Be sure to SHARE her incredible performance with your family and friends. H/T: Olivia Kay Read more: http://www.wimp.com/10-year-old-girl-covers-adeles-rolling-in-the-deep/
