Neil the Seal
Tasmanian legend Neil the Seal was causing a commotion again this week.

George Santos joins Cameo
Ousted, lying politician George Santos has turned to Cameo to make some money.

‘Dead’ dog
Some dogs have a flair for the dramatic and this is one of them.
Whenever this dog’s water bowl is empty, she sticks her nose in there, pretending to be dead from dehydration, to get their owner’s attention.
@solargurl Why? Can’t she just bark at the sink like her brother? #greatpyrenees #puppylove #thirstydog #pyrenees
Duck cult
Someone shared fabulous footage of a duck mosh pit this week.
In the video, the ducks were seen running around in a circle, creating a circle of death and it looked equal parts metal and cult-like.

Last, but certainly not least, bear cubs were spotted learning how to fish in Alaska this week.
It seemed as though the bears picked up the art of fishing pretty quickly, though they were a tad goofy at times.
