Fishermen Spy What They Think Is A Seal Floating On An Iceberg—But They Were In For A Surprise

Year after year crab fishing is listed as one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. So you can bet veterans of the trade have probably had their share of wild experiences.

However for three crab fishermen working off the coast of Labrador, Canada, a recent day out on the water lead to an unexpected encounter that none of them could believe.


Mallory Harrigan, Cliff Russell and Allan Russell were only a few miles offshore when their boat rolled up to a drifting iceberg shaped like a mushroom cap. They steered towards it thinking they saw a baby seal trapped on top of it, but when they got closer they realized the small animal was actually an Arctic Fox.



Harrigan knew the little fox would die if left stranded out on the iceberg, so she and her crewmates stepped up to save its life.

It took some coaxing, but eventually they got the fox on board and into a makeshift bed to warm up and dry off.

They tried feeding the fox, who had likely gotten trapped on the iceberg while looking for food.

But nothing seemed to interest him until they opened up a can of Vienna sausages.

"We gave him chips and crackers but he didn't want anything until he woke up and we fed him a tin of Vienna sausages."

Once they got him back to shore the fox scampered off, grateful to be alive.



Harrigan says she stills sees the fox around, scavenging on the shore from time to time.

After sharing the pictures and their amazing story, people fell in love with the beautiful little fox.



And everyone hailed the crew as heroes.



But Harrigan? According to this Canadian crab fisherman, she and her crewmates weren't the real heroes of the story.


All hail the humble Vienna sausage!

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
