But why would something so small be called the most important living thing on Earth? The answer is simpler than you might have thought. Bees are the only source of food for 70% of the world's farms. We all know that the bee's main job is to spread pollen. But plants can't make more plants. So, the animals would have died out in a very short amount of time. More than that, a study done by the Apiculture Entrepreneurship Center of the Universidad Mayor (CeapiMayor) and the Apiculture Corporation of Chile (Cach) with the help of the Foundation for Agrarian Innovation (FIA) found that bees are…

Last Monday night, photographer Corey Hancock was on a scenic trail in Oregon. Halfway through his trip, he saw a three-month-old bear fighting for its life. This poor little bear's condition was very bad. He knew he was going to die. It was barely moving when he got close to the bear cub for the first time.

Even though he didn't know if the poor calf would make it, he carried it for more than two miles to save it. He even gave…

This coyote puppy was stuck in a cave that collapsed, but construction workers were able to get it out. "When I was digging through a pile of bedrock to put it through our rock crusher, I disturbed a coyote den. When it was first opened, four coyotes ran away. "I found this little guy when I returned for another rock," David Bradley writes. "The den had collapsed around him, trapping him 5 feet below ground." "Even though I couldn't have known he was there, I didn't hurt him, and when I moved the next rock, he was just 'there,'" Bradley says. "I asked a coworker to…

Divers from Spain were able to save a huge whale that was caught in an illegal drift net off the Balearic Islands of Mallorca. The whale was 12 meters long and weighed 10 tons.   This is the third time someone has seen a humpback whale in the water near the Balearics.

He also said that this was the "best present ever" for her birthday. A ship that was about three miles (4.83 km) from the island of Mallorca saw the whale in…
