Woman gives toys to a wild magpie — and he invites all his friends over to play | The Dodo Wild Hearts

(The Dodo) Danielle -- friendless and alone, depressed and anxious -- had just moved into her new house when all of a sudden, a wild magpie landed at her feet. He was very trusting and inquisitive and would follow her around and sit on her knee. Then he brought his son over. Before long, 25 teenage magpies were playing in her yard, too.

5 extinct animals we have footage of

(Tsuki) The majority of organisms that have ever existed are now extinct. Most animals have been wiped out by mass extinction events, and some scientists argue that we are currently going through a mass extinction event. Humans have raised the rate of biological extinction. We are losing animals at an astonishing rate. Most animals disappear without a trace. Fortunately, for some recently-extinct animals, footage remains. This video goes through a few of these species, five animals thought to be extinct with only a tiny sliver of hope that at least one of each still survives.
