Summer is in the air, and what’s better in the Summertime than driving your convertible to the lake for a picnic? This big bear cub agrees!
He looks like he’s in his natural habitat in this vintage red Buick convertible in a Lake Tahoe neighborhood, in Stateline, Nevada. The bear drew a crowd of spectators as it munched on barbecue-chicken-and-jalapeño pizza in the back seat of the 1964 Buick Skylark. It also apparently washed it down with a swig of a Jack Daniel’s mixer, an Absolut vodka and tonic, and a beer taken from a cooler – I hope they didn’t let him drive home after that! Now that’s a great way to spend a Summer day! The bruin was not even fazed by the car’s horn that blew nonstop as the cub pressed the seat into the steering wheel.
What’s better than a picnic? A day at the beach! Especially for these newly hatched Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles.
Things are looking up for these little guys who were formerly on the extinction watch list. Habitat protection and financial support from Mexican and U.S. wildlife agencies, as well as the fishing and shrimping industry, have resulted in a bumper crop of the still endangered sea turtles. Last year, almost 631,000 hatchings were released compared to 48,000 recorded in 1978. Yay!
Here are more amazing animals enjoying the Summer season!
(yes, that parrot is playing soccer and those elephants are at a drive in)
