Animals never cease to amaze me. And one of the finest examples is the Bumblebee. Their systems of hive organisation and individual rank and role seem highly evolved for such a small creature.

Could this be where man found the inspiration for the invention of the wheel? In this clip from the BBC’s Weird Nature, we meet a salamander and a caterpillar with a great trick for getting downhill in a hurry. Why walk if you can roll? You can also view this clip in a larger format [...]

Earlier in the week, we brought you an ad for the The Shelter Pet Project. So, to end the week, we thought we’d bring you another. In this funny, 30-second TV ad, which aims to give shelter pets a voice, we hear a dog’s take on prison versus shelters! The reason this dog is carted to a rehoming centre is due to it’s [...]

Although our first project is dog rehoming, did you know that it also supports cats? There’s been some pretty amazing research on dog rehoming published recently (with other studies underway). Some of these studies, by Australian researchers, assess the success of research-based dog rehoming programs, which concentrate on destressing techniques in shelters, owner/dog bonding and training and post-training and [...]

Especially at this busy time of year, we know it’s important to take a few moments and slow down. So we thought we’d help out with our new Slow Motion Sundays. Every Sunday, we’ll take a look at the animal kingdom in slow motion. If you think you know how a dog drinks, this video [...]

Our goal is to foster positive relationships between humans and animals. So, imagine our delight when we saw National Geographic photographer Paul Nicklen interacting with the gigantic, and potentially deadly, Leopard Seal in Antarctica. The video of this interaction, narrated by Paul, represents positive relationships at their most incredible. Their relationship lasted only four days, [...]

Set to a beautiful track by young Melbourne singing sensation and Moments of Connection ambassador, Alanna Deutrom, this video previews the facts and photography in our first book Moments of Connection.
