Spirit the eagle, Auburn University’s mascot, took its traditional aerial tour around the bleachers of Jordan-Hare Stadium before the kickoff of Auburn’s football game against Mississippi State on Saturday. He was looking quite majestic in flight as the crowd of 85,000 cheered until … smack — Spirit crashed right into a glass-enclosed luxury box.

Perhaps because birds never really have to use moving staircases, this confused, feathered fellow attempts to walk down the up escalator. The bird winds up going nowhere and thoroughly entertaining the couple who captured it on camera. Watch below:

If you think you’re having a lousy day, buck up. It’s about to get better. In this German-language news clip, lab chimps who’ve been caged indoors their entire lives venture outside for the very first time, reveling in the unfamiliar sensations of warm sunbeams and total freedom of movement.

When fully grown, this bear cub may well be a dangerous killer. But for now, the little fellow’s attempt to attack a human intruder is just, well, adorable.

In a clear case of monkey-see-monkey-do, this ape seems desperate to fire off a text message from an iPhone.

If the size of this crocodile is any indication, these tourists are going to need a bigger boat. An 18-foot, 2-ton monster crocodile was photographed leaping from the water near a tour boat in Australia, 'The Early Show' reported.
