World’s Biggest Maine Coon Watches Over His Tiny Brother

This is Ludo the Maine Coon. He is the biggest house cat in the world and the biggest Maine Coon on record! Ludo loves his entire human family and watches over his human brothers very closely.


Ludo is 3-years-old and lives in Wakefield, England. Ludo’s owner, Kelsey Gill, said that Ludo was the biggest kitten in his litter. Just before Ludo was one-year-old, he weighed 20 ½ pounds!

As a kitten, he still had some growing to do! When the Guinness World Records measured Ludo on October 6th, 2015, he was 3 ft 10.59 inches (118.33 cm).

He was named the World’s’ longest domestic cat. Kelsey reports that Ludo now weighs 34 lbs and is much bigger than he was last year!

Ludo loves his new brother, Ryder, who weighs only 9 lbs in this picture. When Ludo was younger, he was very protective of his human brother Cameron.

They two could always be found side by side. Kelsey said that the two were thick as thieves. Kelsey added that Ludo’s size and fluff makes him like a big teddy bear!

Ludo has a very calm and relaxed personality too. When Cameron didn’t feel well, Ludo was there to comfort him. Cameron and Ludo grew bigger together and share a special bond.

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the  Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

Tesco: Ditch palm oil in your own-brand products!

>>>SIGN PETITION HERE<<< My name is Oscar, I’m 15 and I want to do everything I can to protect our environment .  I was really upset and angry when I found out about the huge deforestation that is involved in the palm oil industry,  and that’s why I’m calling on Tesco to ditch palm oil from their own-brand products. Iceland has already banned palm oil from their own brand products, so we know that this is possible for Tesco too. As the largest supermarket in the UK (and using over 40,000 tonnes of palm oil every year!), Tesco has an opportunity to set an example to other supermarkets and food producers that  destroying swathes of forests for palm oil is not acceptable. I run a online cause called ‘Justice4Earth’ ( @justice4earth  on Instagram and  @justice4earth  on Twitter) where I raise awareness about environmental issues. I found out that palm oil is literally everywhere: from shampoos, toothpastes and detergen...

The Sound Of This Baby Rhino Wailing After Its Mother Was Killed By Poachers Will Haunt You

It’s one of the most sorrowful sounds you’ll ever hear, but it’s also a sad reality check for anyone who thinks protected species are safe from illegal poaching. In a video released this in July, a baby rhino named Davi cries for his mother after she was shot and killed by poachers. Most rhinos spend at least three years with their mothers before weaning,  the Dodo  reports, but Davi’s childhood was cut short at just 8 months old. The baby rhino stood close by his mother’s lifeless body until rescuers arrived. They fitted her with earplugs and a blindfold to calm his anxiety on the way to The Rhino Orphanage in South Africa. Source: YouTube/Terrence Daniels Davi huddles close to his mother’s dead body. It was there that Davi spent the night crying. “His calls for mom echoed deeply and urgently throughout the night, but two carers have been with him every step of the way,”  caretakers posted . “At least he is in good physical condition [and] has no injuries...
