Do you ever wonder what lions are like when we’re not watching? The folks at the Oregon Zoo in Portland sure do, and they set out to get answers. How? By secretly placing hidden cameras in an area where their lions roam. According to a social media post made by the zoo, their care staff placed the camera just last week… and it has already been discovered by these clever felines! Although the zoo employees certainly did not intend for the lions to discover the camera so quickly, the footage we have because of it makes their discovery a true win for us all. In the video, we get the chance to see these curious lions inspect the camera. In fact, they carry the peculiar object all around — and make sure to lick it a lot, of course! Watch some of the hilarious footage for yourself in the video below. When Lions in the Oregon Zoo Spot a Hidden Camera, Their Curiosity Gets the Best of Them “These behaviors are things that our caregivers see every day,” Kelly Gomez, curator of the zoo’s Africa area, says, “but never from quite this perspective.” Oregon Zoo is part of the Species Survival Plan for African lions. This means they’re helping to ensure the population of African lions is able to thrive for a very long time. With populations dwindling to fewer than 25,000 wild lions, this is oh-so important. Videos like this don’t just raise awareness of the fact that these lions need our help — they also spread some much needed joy! “That last shot in the mouth, woooow love how majestic these animals are!” one person shares in the comment section, with another adding, “Kitties are curious no matter what size they are.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Proposals are an incredibly special moment in a couple’s life. Some are intimate with close friends, while others are done in front of huge crowds. For Nicole Faith Cochrane, she got a mix of both. While her then-boyfriend created a romantic and semi-secluded proposal on the beach, a group of onlookers also got to experience the action. Not only did these strangers witness the proposal, but they also recorded it for her as well. Strangers Capture Proposal @itsnicolefaith core memory engagaged #engagementday ♬ original sound – Nicole Faith PEOPLE wrote that Nicole “initially thought the onlookers were judging her for taking photos on the beach.” Little did she know that they would turn into some of her biggest supporters. The strangers airdropped the video to Nicole, who later posted it on her TikTok. She posted the following note on the video. “Strangers filmed my engagement and then airdropped it to me later; their commentary was so cute.” We have to agree with Nicole on the cuteness factor. The video starts by showing Nicole’s soon-to-be fiance in the distance, standing in a bed of roses. One of the strangers says, “This is the cutest thing ever.” Another group member says, “She’s looking.” A friend clarifies, “She’s looking at us!” They then begin shushing one another. The girls are so cute in their attempt to not be distracting while still trying to capture this special moment. The Big Reveal Gasps can be heard from the group of strangers as Nicole enters the beach and finally sees the scene before her. She looked stunning in her long orange dress. She brings her hands to her face to cover her surprise as she sees her then-boyfriend, Taylor, standing in the roses. The strangers filming the proposal tactfully zoom in on Nicole to get a close-up of her reaction. One of them can be heard asking, “Okay, should we cheer?” to which a companion argued, “We cheer after.” In an attempt to be as minimally distracting as possible, the group opted to wait to cheer until after the proposal. The strangers continue to gush over the moment’s cuteness as Nicole walks to Taylor. Once inside of the heart, they share a sweet kiss and embrace. The group of strangers can no longer contain their excitement, and they begin screaming and cheering for the two lovebirds. Stranger’s Proposal Goes Viral Taylor gives the adoring group a peace sign, and Nicole shares her love and appreciation for this group in the comments on her TikTok. @embburn commented, “Not her looking over at you guys like you’re supposed to be there LOL” to which Nicole replied: “LITERALLY.” @ollie commented, “This is girlhood” to which Nicole responded “Yes” with multiple crying face emojis. The video has received over 949,000 likes and has gained love everywhere it is shared. Nicole also told PEOPLE that the strangers “made it 100 times better.” I am so happy that this couple got their magical moment and that it got to be captured in so many different ways.

 The key to peace and contentment lies in focusing on what can be changed and accepting what cannot.

'Many parts of President Biden's agenda that she helped pass'

'Values unite and specific policies divide'

'An indictment of the environmental justice narrative'

I can't help but to be fascinated by it

'Get your talking points from the Daily Onion'

'We are offering counseling services to all employees affected by this'

So it's at least worth asking: is RayGun just a terrible breaker, or did she sabotage her own sport?
