This wasn't an ordinary day at the beach for these sunbathers at Itacoatiara Beach in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro. When a curious dolphin washes up on the shore, Instagrammer luccas.1 is quick to act. The dolphin had no signs of injury or mistreatment following the rescue. Great job Lucas and friends, you all are heroes! 

Following the recent 7.8 earthquake in Kaikoura, New Zealand air bubbles are now rising from the ocean floor, creating a must-see for kayakers and wildlife. It is unknown how long this may last but a geologist has visited the site and claims this phenomenon has "extreme scientific value". Great capture Kaikoura Kayaks!

After brushing by several adorably curious seal pups, they spot a mom humpback whale and her calf way off in the distance. It's a great show until both dramatically disappear under the water. Just seconds later, these folks find themselves with front row seats in the wildest splash zone ever! View Now

Even Snakes Deserve To Be Rescued

We see plenty of dog and cat rescues, but sometimes our scaly friends need our help too. Like this cobra in India who got stuck in the stones of a well. A young man from the Wildlife Rescue Society had to repel down and attempt to maneuver the large snake into a small bag. And over on a farm in Paraguay, a planter stopped working, so when they looked in the engine, they found a small snake stuck inside one of the parts. It takes bravery to save a snake, so kudos to these two guys! View Now
