Morning commutes usually feature nothing wilder than the odd double-parked car, but I-95 in Maine recently gave drivers front-row seats to an equine jailbreak worthy of a folk legend. From midnight dash to police “cowboy skills” on the scene, it’s a story that proves even commuter traffic has its surprises—some with four legs and a stubborn sense of adventure.

Think you’ve seen it all beneath the waves? Think again. When a ray off Queensland decided its best defense was a mid-air leap over a hungry hammerhead, the result was a fleeting spectacle equal parts survival tactic and slapstick improv. Nature, it seems, never tires of reminding us: sometimes the only way out is straight up. Curious about this aquatic Houdini act? Dive in.

There’s something oddly reassuring about a horse whose claim to fame is an undefeated losing streak.

When you picture Alpine rescues, you probably don’t imagine a chihuahua at the center of the action—yet that’s exactly how last week’s glacial drama unfolded. Forget the St. Bernard; this time, it was a pint-sized pup whose steadfast presence helped save the day. As strange as it sounds, sometimes the biggest heroes come pint-sized (and shivering).
