Amazing Animal Rescue of the Day: A wounded, malnourished wolf that had fallen into the freezing cold waters of the Limentra near Camugnano in the Italian province of Bologna was rescued and resuscitated by members of the the Monte Adone Centre for Conservation and Research of Exotic and Wild Fauna earlier this year.
The wolf, given the name Navarre, was found to be partially paralyzed and in an extreme state of hypothermia. He was brought to a nearby residence, where the Centre’s staff and other volunteers warmed and dried him up.
Later, at the Centre, Navarre was found to have been shot multiple times with lead pellets, but, happily, the bullets did no major damage to his internal organs.
Slowly, but surely, the treatment and rehabilitation are beginning to take hold. Navarre still has quite a road ahead to full recovery, but the Centre says the tenacious animal “day after day demonstrates a strong temperament and an increasing desire to live.”
This is a story from Italy :D

A shark gives a diver a high-five. Eli Martinez was interacting with the lemon shark in the balmy waters off the coast of The Bahamas. Eli, who works as the editor of Shark Diving magazine, said: “This particular shark I had encountered before. She is very laid-back so I knew if I held my hand out she would come over. At first she was swimming straight towards me, but I didn’t expect her to turn at the last moment. She tapped my palm with her fin like we were high-five-ing.” Picture: CATERS NEWS

Photo of the Day: Wojtek Kalka snapped this stunning shot of a Buddhist monk and a big-ass cat enjoying some lunch at the appropriately named Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi, Thailand.
For the record, the Tiger Temple has had its share of criticism from conservation groups who claim the facility does not adhere to various international laws concerning the care of endangered species.

Otterly Adorable of the Day: Redditor isisis says: “A few years ago, I was having one of the worst days of my life and decided to chill at the Seattle Aquarium. I watched on otter fall asleep sucking his tail. It made my day so much better.”
How about that — it’s contagious.

Photo Series of the Day: From photographer Traer Scott’s Shelter Dogs — a photo book featuring black-and-white portraits of homeless and abandoned dogs living in shelters across America.
By documenting the undeniable expressions of emotion in the dogs encountered in her volunteer work, Scott raises awareness of animal rescue causes, and especially the need for more adoptive homes for abandoned dogs.
Scott donates a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of each book to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
