https://meow.social/@WahFo/112164970983962395 WahFo@meow.social - Animal of the day (155)

Put a bear's head on a dachshund's body, and you'll get something pretty close to a Bush Dog. One of the smallest and rarest wild canines, it is the only living species of its genus, and its closest relatives are the maned wolf and the African wild dog. Endemic to Central and South America, this elusive diurnal predator usually lives in small packs. Together, a pack of these tiny ankle-nippers can take down much larger prey, like peccaries, rheas and capybaras, but they typically hunt rodents like pacas, agoutis, and acouchis. As also seen in some breeds of dogs, their partially webbed toes make them great swimmers.

Ever dreamt of having a miniature dragon as a pet? The Red-eyed Crocodile Skink could be just that, though you have to be okay with feeding it live bugs. Endemic to the tropical rainforests of New Guinea, this 10-inch dragon has a lifespan of 5 to 12 years, and is one of the few lizards that can vocalize when in distress. An excellent climber and swimmer, it is rather shy and spends most of its time among the leaf litter on the forest floor. If startled, it will freeze and play dead, and if that doesn't work, it may drop its tail to make a diversion while it skitters away.

‘Doctor Peyo’: the horse comforting cancer patients in Calais – in pictures

Peyo tells his trainer which room he wants to enter next by stopping or raising his leg. Peyo is 15 and seems able to detect when humans have cancers and tumours. He stayed nearly two hours here, watching over a dying woman.

‘I accompany him but I let him do what he wants, he’s the one who decides,’
