I've said it before, and I'll know doubt say it again. Our world is a pretty amazing place. The most recent example that I've seen of that is the video below which was shot off South Africa by explorer Mike Horn and photographer Chase Jarvis. While sailing there they came across a "super-pod" of dolphins that swarmed around their ship. There are literally dozens of them and it is quite a beautiful site.

Remember that video from a year ago in which a mountain biker was hit by an antelope while riding in South Africa? (If not check it out here!) Well now we have a similar accident, although this time it took place during a down hill skateboarding race. In this case, a deer ran out onto the road and collides with a longboarder, with all of the action being caught on helmet cam of course. I certainly hope the guy is alright, as it looks like he got the worst of the collision. Ouch!

The snow leopard is one of the most elusive and endangered species on the planet, but their predatory nature often brings them into conflict with people living in the Himalaya. That conflict is the subject of a great looking new film called The Lama and the Snow Leopard, which is being made by Chinese director Zhou Bing, who traveled to the mountains to shoot his documentary. He chronicles the efforts of Lama Zhujia, a Buddhist monk who strives to bring harmony between the big cats and the people whose herds they prey upon.

The teaser trailer for the film can be found below and the visuals look beautiful.

I came across this video yesterday but thought it was an appropriate way to end the week. I won't give too much of it away, suffice as to say when you want to rescue dumpster-diving bear cups, you have to get a little creative at times.
