I found the video looked sort of staged. Something about the crystal clear security cameras being positioned PERFECTLY where all this is happening just doesn't gel with me.

OMG

I just saw brand new ad on TV. A guy is reading a boring looking book titled "Lucid Dreaming" and he "is" dreaming. It is about the newest Honda car. The ad is the latest "Honda, the power of dreams" Non of the others were about dreaming. This one is about Lucid Dreaming. No one has had the time to upload it to Youtube yet. I will link it as soom as they do.

Unless you beat me to it.

Thanks Zoth, I just found your like and immediately started Youtube searching, and ...

ENJOY

Ha! That's great!!

Just starting to watch them, but this is a lovely thread!
I saw the cat saves boy before - what a great find with the Honda ad!!
But somehow this People are Awesome just made me (positively) cry in admiration/emotionalism.
We are such strange and beautiful and resourceful animals, willful, too - it's amazing!


Edit: Look - I also found something titled Lucid Dreams, but it's about a bunch of base- and wing-suit-jumpers bringing their dreams into reality:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl7O...k7M2H4CAw8FmO8

Goodness me - and I'm sometimes feeling a bit queasy jumping from heights as start or flight in an LD - but for real?!
They are fast as bullets - it's deceiving how slow it looks with on board cam.

I LOVE those suits. I would love to do that IRL but truth is, I'm too chicken :lol:
I'd use a Powered Paraglider though.

Thanks for the video. It's really amazing.

Yeah - it must be literally breathtaking!
I have been wondering if it might be a bonus for such things, if you are used to jumping from heights into nothing like I sort of am from lucid flying.


Shame I can't post the latest Attenborough docu on the evolution of flight on earth "Conquest of the Skies" - whoever can - watch it, it's great!!
And it has the Colugo - happens very seldom that I come across an animal I don't know yet. I posted about it in another forum and now cheekily insert this here as well.
This is it - the first mammal to take to the skies, before even bats evolved they were already gliding about:

The nose!! I have such a thing for lovely strange animal noses!
And it's got an interesting expression as well - somehow stoical.

Its closest relatives are we primates and this little guy and glides about at night in South East Asia having fantastic eyes with great depth perception, no idea, why they tend to reflect light so strangely. Their teeth are shaped like combs and nobody knows, what they do with them. Most astonishing - their range is over 200 feet! With baby hanging on!
Once they've glided down too low to take off again, they start flappingly hopping up their trees and proceed from there.

Of all the gliding mammals, the colugos have the most extensive adaptation to flight. Their gliding membrane, or patagium, is as large as is geometrically possible: it runs from the shoulder blades to the fore paw, from the tip of the rear-most finger to the tip of the toes, and from the hind legs to the tip of the tail; unlike in other known gliding mammals, even the spaces between the fingers and toes are webbed to increase the total surface area, as in the wings of bats. As a result, colugos were traditionally considered being close to the ancestors of bats, but are now seen by some as the closest living relatives to primates.

They are surprisingly clumsy climbers. Lacking opposable thumbs and not being especially strong, they proceed upwards in a series of slow hops, gripping onto the bark of trees with their small, sharp claws. They are as comfortable hanging underneath a branch as sitting on top of it. In the air, however, they are very capable, and can glide as far as 70 m (230 ft) from one tree to another with minimal loss of height.

“Because they have these adaptations for gliding, originally people sort of threw them in with bats,” Janecka said. “But when they looked at the actual morphology of the skull, there was evidence that they’re closely related to primates.” When Janecka and his colleagues did a genomic analysis of the colugo, this suspicion was confirmed. It turns out that around 90 million years ago, at the height of the dinosaurs’ reign when mammals were just tiny furballs scurrying about trying not to get stepped on, the colugo’s ancestors split off from our primate lineage. Some 25 million years later, the dinosaurs’ time came to an end, leading to the explosion of mammalian diversity.

Snake vs Rabbit : Protective mother rabbit takes on a SNAKE in a fight [Full Video ]

Trending Now*88,581 views

Nobody messes with this mother’s babies! Brave rabbit’s epic battle with a snake after catching it trying to eat her bunnies.

Viral YouTube video shows incredible tussle between a rabbit and a snake.

Amateur footage captured how rabbit fought the reptile off its bunnies.

Extraordinary fight continues as the snake frantically tries to slither away.

The amateur video of the fight between the snake and rabbit has gone viral on YouTube, being viewed more than 1,6million times.

The extraordinary film shows how the long black snake has wrapped itself around bunnies before their mother comes to the rescue, leaping from nowhere onto the snake .

After managing to get the snake to release her young, the rabbit continues pursuing the reptile in an epic battle of wills (bottom left).

At one stage the rabbit is sent flying into the air in a backwards somersault after the snake manages to bite it and then slithers off - but the rabbit is still in hot pursuit.

By the end of the clip one thing is clear - the one thing is clear - the reptile won't be trying to wrap itself around this bunny's babies again any time soon.
