Because this penguin was born blind, Blindy has had a tough life. At only 12 weeks old, the poor thing lost its family. Without help, Blindy surely would’ve died in the wild. Fittingly enough, however, a woman named Shireen Helps decided to lend a helping hand. Now living at the woman’s penguin sanctuary in Flea Bay, New Zealand, Blindy is learning more every day. Next up? Learning how to swim! Even though Blindy will never be able to return to the wild, Helps hopes that the penguin will find a forever home at a zoo one day.

Remember that time those two guys wore a GoPro and scaled the Shanghai Tower? With the video that basically gave you acrophobia (which is an extreme or irrational fear of heights)? Well, they survived, and they’re back for more building-scaling shenanigans. Vadim Makorov and Vitaliy Raskalov made names for themselves by climbing to enormous heights, without harnesses, and taking amazing videos and photos. Most recently, they climbed a skyscraper in the middle of Hong Kong, along with two friends, and not only that, but they also managed to make a little edit to the billboard at the top, creating a nice message for the people below. Check out the video they made. Some of our favorite highlights: On top of the billboard On the Roofs.com Hacking into the billboard. Note the graffiti.

When you think of animals with immense strength, honey bees probably don’t come to mind. While walking by a brick wall one day, this man turned and saw a bee investigating a nail. Wondering why on Earth a honey bee, a creature that’s been around for centuries, would be so interested in a piece of hardware, he turned on his camera and started filming. Perhaps one of its 170 odor receptors caught wind of the ultimate prize, or maybe its 200 wing beats per second tuckered it out and it needed a snooze. In any case, this little bug decided to show off its strength in a pretty baffling way. Someone should probably run and tell Dwayne Johnson that this little bee definitely smells what The Rock is cooking. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/bionic-bee/
