It’s not uncommon for a police station to have K9 teams where professionally trained pups serve on the force…but what if the ‘K’ stood for kangaroo? Well, that’s exactly the case at the Cue Police Station in Western Australia. When a car struck a mother kangaroo, killing her, she was carrying her baby boy in her pouch. Luckily, he survived. Since then, the little joey has found a temporary home with Constable Scott Mason. Just watch how strong their bond is after just a few days together… According to reports, Cuejo will stay with Mason until he’s able to be safely reared and softly released back into the wild. Just one question remains…where can we get our own baby kangaroo that wants to follow us around? Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/rescued-kangaroo/
One thing spiders are known for, aside from their creepiness, is their sneakiness. Their ability to silently move around and scare the crap out of you by appearing out of nowhere is sort of their trademark. However, when you turn the tables and start creeping up on spiders…well, let’s just say they don’t like that very much. It’s a terrifying fact that one young Australian learned in literally the worst way possible… That’s just too much nope to handle. Sadly, we don’t know exactly what happened after the spider charged him, but I think we can make an educated guess… Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/creeping-spider/
In Australia, the seasons are reversed from the way we experience them here in North America. Now, as North America is preparing for the wonder that is fall, Australia is getting ready for spring. And what better way to kick off the season than by finding two male carpet pythons fighting each other right outside your window? googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBP_ATF’); }); From the uploader: “Two male carpet pythons locked in combat outside the window after falling from roof on first day of Australian spring. My son and I watched with fascination and slight disgust, and unfortunately, he learned a few swear words.” Oh, that is the most terrifying thing ever. And remember, this is the just the start of spring. Imagine how many more horrible situations are likely to befall the maker of this video by the time summer rolls around?

However, that doesn’t mean that you’ll see me trying to touch or hold them anytime soon. Okay, I’ve actually held a tarantula once, but the experience was so nerve-racking that I would never consider having one of my own. One woman in Brisbane, Australia, though, couldn’t disagree with me more. Not only does Lisa van Kula Donovan love spiders (and basically all other insects), but she keeps five of them as her beloved pets. Donovan is very hands-on when it comes to her spiders. YouTube / Wannabe Entomologist She even lets them crawl all over her face and head. YouTube / Wannabe Entomologist The way she handles them would freak most people out, but she thinks nothing of it and obviously enjoys it very much. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.defineSlot(‘/37886402/VN_PG_DCI1_BTF’, [300, 250], ‘VN_PG_DCI1_BTF_58097fb58a195’).addService(googletag.pubads()) googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_MB”, “VN_”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_SC”, “VN_ORGN”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_TS”, “TS_D”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_AT”, “VN_ORGN_PG_D_REV_1.0_ASYNC_DEFAULT”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_CC”, “VN_ORGN_D_UNK_118117_A”); googletag.pubads().setTargeting(“NOVA_PG”, “1”); googletag.enableServices(); googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCI1_BTF_58097fb58a195’); }); When she moved to Australia about eight years ago, she fell in love with all the spiders and insects she discovered there. It became such a huge passion that she decided to share her home with some of them.

YouTube / Wannabe Entomologist Surprisingly, none of her spiders have ever chomped on her, but she’s well aware that it could happen at any time and isn’t afraid of it. She also has a variety of other creepy-crawlies that she adores as much as if they were her children. Facebook / Lisa van Kula Donovan She even lets her own kids hold some of them — but not any spiders. You have to admit that this one is pretty cute.

She wouldn’t have her life any other way and is perfectly content with her unusual pets. Facebook / Lisa van Kula Donovan (via The Sun) I applaud her fearlessness when it comes to her pets, but I would never follow in her footsteps. The creepy factor is just way too high for me.
