Speaking of incredible stories, the following is probably the most remarkable of all. And as it is not entirely unusual for different species to make good friends, such as cats and dogs, seeing a predator getting affectionate with a herbivore does sound impossible.

The elders of one Pakistani village were concerned for the safety of the children as one leopard was spotted walking through the streets and then running to the outskirt of the village. Although seeing leopards in this part of the country isn’t that unusual, they don’t really get close to where humans live. So, in an attempt to protect themselves, the villagers contacted Animals Asia Foundation and plead for help.

The organization’s staff decided to step in and help. They, however, were intrigued as to why the leopard would visit one specific house every night, that of the village headman. The answer stunned them.

After setting up cameras, they discovered that the leopard was visiting one particular cow. The footage shows the two animals hugging, licking one another, and even sleeping by each other’s side.

While the rest of the cows could be seen trembling with fear, this one cow has been overly excited to have the wild animal by her side.

Once the photos and the video of the incredible encounter were shared online, the story caught the attention of millions of people from all around the world.

However, after the leopard sensed he was tracked down by humans, he stopped visiting the cow and was nowhere to be seen for a couple of months. Then, all of a sudden, he came back to see his friend once again, and that was it.

The only logical explanation behind this unusual friendship is that the leopard was left without a mother as a cub and found shelter by the cow’s side. The cow probably nursed him and didn’t see him as a threat because he was still a tiny baby when she first met him, so her maternal instinct kicked in.

Honestly, you really need to see this with your own eyes in order to believe it. Check out the video below and don’t forget to SHARE it with your family and friends on Facebook! It has been seen nearly 7 million times in less than a month. So worth watching!

Handsome, extremely successful, and very much grounded, Matt Damon is loved by many. Despite his celeb status, he lives quite a private life with wife Luciana Damon.

Ever since he first appeared on TV, Damon captured the hearts of millions. With a number of awards under his belt, including an Oscar for Best Screenplay for the movie Good Will Hunting, Damon has been part of some great projects over the years. Some of the films he played in, among the rest, are Saving Private Ryan, The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Departed, Ocean’s trilogy, The Martian. He is one of the highest-grossing actors of all time.

Besides being a huge name in Hollywood, Damon is at the same time a family man and a devoted husband and father.

Some 17 years ago, he met his wife and love of his life. Their encounter was a serendipitous one.

Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres, the actor said: “I’m so happy now; I’m so lucky. I hit the jackpot with my wife.”

During the filming of Stuck on You in Miami, Damon was “dragged” to a bar by his friends. He wasn’t willing to go but agreed eventually and that turned to be the best decision of his life.

“We were supposed to shoot in Hawaii, then the movie got moved to Miami. I’d never really hung out in Miami, then one night in the middle of the shoot a couple of the guys said they were going to get a beer somewhere and I said ‘I’m not really interested’ but they dragged me along and we ended up in a bar where my wife was a bartender and I literally saw her across a crowded room,” he explained.

In a rare interview with Vogue Magazine, Luciana also recalled the first time she and Matt Damon met.

“But he had started getting recognized and asked for pictures and autographs,” she started her story.

“And then it got kind of aggressive because people are drinking and stuff, and so he came and hid behind my bar … [wanting to] just hang out back there and have a drink. He says ‘oh I saw you and I really wanted to talk to you’.”

“So I put him to work with me! I said: ‘you know, if you’re going to be back here, you can’t just be standing there!’ He had trained as a bartender for a film years before, so he started making drinks. And he made me a ton of money in tips that night, because of course everyone wanted to go and see him. So it turned into a really fun night.”

They tied the knot in 2005 in a private civil ceremony at the Manhattan Marriage Bureau.

At the time they met, Luciana was already a mom to daughter Alexia whom she had from a previous relationship. She and Damon have three daughters together, Isabelle, Gia, and Stella.

Although he is quite busy filming, his family always comes first. Damon revealed that the longest he’s been separated from his wife and daughters was three weeks, and they have this two-week rule where they try not to be apart for more than that. In case a project requires more time, he takes the family with him.

“Every decision to make a movie is really up for to the family. If it is going to be too disruptive, I just can’t do it,” he said, as per the Daily Mail. “Sometimes it is an adventure. Last year I went to China for six months and it was a big family trip and that was awesome.”

He believes that he’s not a hot topic for magazines because he’s just a middle-aged married guy with four kids. “So as long as that narrative doesn’t change too much, there’s no appetite for it. If I’m not jumping up and down on a bar, or lighting something on fire, or cheating on my wife, there’s not really any story to tell,” he told Esquire.

Matt Damon is perfect in every way.

Couple adopts their neighbor’s 3 kids after she passes and community steps up in a big way

We never know how much time we have left on Earth, so all the planning we do in life can easily go down the drain when we hear news that have the power to break us in a million pieces.

Audrey was a single mother of three who believed she had a long and happy life ahead of her. Sadly, she started feeling ill out of nowhere. She knew she had to go to the hospital, but she was worried about letting her kids stay at home alone while the doctors were running the tests. So, this mother decided to ask her neighbors, Tish and Kevin Beauchmin, to keep an eye on them. Tisha, who is a mother of five herself, said yes, even though the two weren’t really close and didn’t know each other very well.

Unfortunately, Audrey was diagnosed with a terminal stage two oesophageal and stomach cancer.

This brave woman wasn’t afraid for her life, but she couldn’t stop thinking about what would happen to her kids after she’s gone. That bothered her more than the illness itself.

After contemplating for a long time, she asked Tisha and her husband whether they would agree to be her children’s legal guardians. This request came out of the blue because the two were just neighbors who’d wave hi at each other every now and then, and that was it. With so many commitments and their kids, they never had a chance to become close friends.

Despite all this, Tisha agreed. Raising eight children would be the ultimate struggle, but how could she say no to a dying mother?

These people did the unthinkable, they stepped in and let Audrey leave this world knowing her children will be taken good care of. Is there anything more a mother could ask for?

What’s most, they did all that aware their living conditions weren’t the best. In order for them to be able to adopt the kids legally, they needed to provide them with a better home, one where every one of them would have a separate bed. As the place was cramped, some of them were sleeping on makeshifts beds placed whenever there was space.

One of the neighbors who was aware of everything the family was going through, Elizabeth Thames, decided to get involved and help as much as she could. She wrote a letter to FOX5 Surprise Squad explaining the life story of these two families which ended up living together.

The FOX5 Surprise Squad paid this loving family a visit once they heard of their selfless act. In no time, the Beauchmin’s home was transformed into the perfect place, both from inside and out. On top of that, they received a year’s worth of free groceries and a brand new vehicle.

“It’s just really overwhelming that someone would do this for me and for my family,” Tisha said. “I didn’t do anything too special. I did what anyone in my shoes would have done.”

We are very sad for Audrey’s fate. She didn’t get to spend more time with those she loved the most and this whole story teaches us that we should live our lives to the fullest because we never know when the final goodbye is.

Below is one of the most emotional videos that speaks about compassion and humanity and is worth a thousand words.

Baby boy born with snow-white hair dubbed “Prince Charming”

Every expecting mother wonders what her child will look like. Will the little bundle of joy resemble a family member, or they will be simply beautiful in their own, unique way? Well, that’s not even important as long as the baby is born healthy.

Little baby boy Bence from Székesfehérvár, Hungary, was welcomed into the world in 2015. But he wasn’t like most babies. Sweet Bence was born with snow-white hair so doctors and nurses at the hospital called him Prince Charming during his stay. However, no matter how cute Bence looked, his parents were worried that something could be wrong with him and wanted to know the reason behind his long and white hair.

Doctors suspected he had a condition known as albinism, a congenital disorder which results in complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes. After thorough research, it was determined baby Bence didn’t have albinism but he did have low melanin, which caused his hair to be of that distinctive color.

Despite the hair, which worried his parents at first, baby Bence was a perfectly normal and healthy baby. Doctors said that over time, his hair will probably get darker. ”It is rather a local and likely a temporary pigment shortage, the hair of the boy might get darker in a couple of years,” they explained.

Bence’s parents were relieved and never assumed that the photos of their Prince Charming would gather such attention. Millions of people have seen little Bence and they all agree he was the cutest boy ever.

Teen who has been homeless for 12 years graduates as valedictorian

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it’s the quiet voice at the end of the day whispering: I will try again tomorrow.” – Marry Anne Radmacher.

The truth is that life is all about persistence and determination. The more we try, the better we get.

Many times, the odds are against us and we believe there is no way out, but if we want to become the people we’ve always dreamed to be, we should keep going, just like Griffin Furlong, valedictorian at First Coast High School Graduating Class of 2014.

This young man never missed an assignment and graduated as the best student of the class. What many of his friends and classmates didn’t know was that Griffin had been homeless for the last 12 years. During high-school, he was forced to sleep at shelters and other people’s places together with his father and brother. After his mother passed away when he was 7, Griffin’s dad struggled to make ends meet and the family was forced to live on the streets.

Despite all that, Griffin studied very hard.

Many learned of his struggles through his valedictorian speech. Needless to say, they were shocked. His classmates couldn’t believe how hard Griffin’s life was.

In front of more than 500 people, this young man said that “giving up is not an option.”

“I can’t even count the number of sleepless nights I spent alone on a cold plastic mattress. I cried, internally hoping that my life would soon wash away so I would not have to bear the hardships of a seemingly evil world,” he shared with Good Times.

He then added: “I never gave up, no matter how bad I wanted to. To everyone sitting here before me, do not live a life without purpose. Deep down inside you know you have something to show. So whether you realize it or not, never make excuses, especially when you have a loving family able to give you what you need and want.”

As he was planning to get a degree at Florida State, his girlfriend’s family offered him a room to stay.

“I just want to show that anyone can do it, no matter what you’ve been through. I never want to live that life again, I do everything I do because I don’t want to live like that,” he told ABC News.

Having experienced the homeless life himself, Griffin and his girlfriend plan to start scholarship for others who go through the same struggles in life.

“Just never give up,” Griffin said in an interview with TODAY.com. “Never let anyone tell you that you can’t do something, because I’ve been told that all my life. People would tell me I wasn’t smart enough, and now I’m here at the top of my class.”

This young man is the perfect definition of inspiration. You can hear his speech in the video below.

Single dad’s card gets declined repeatedly, woman behind him won’t let him leave without food

The good we do for others is what makes us good people. The more we care for those around us, the more God gives kindness to us, and that’s something we should never forget.

A woman named Sara Fleming found herself in a situation in which she could help someone in need and she stepped up as a voice in her head urged her to do it. 

It was around Christmastime and she was aware it was the period of the year when miracles happen, so she wanted to be the reason for one family’s smile by paying it forward.

Sara knows it was God who connected the dots and made her meet the family she helped again, and at a place where she finds her inner peace. 

“Sweet friends, this is a true story. I’m sharing for others to hear of God’s goodness and mercy. It’s not about me. Great things HE hath done!”

As she was waiting in line to pay for her groceries, Sara noticed a father struggling to pay for his stuff. His card got declined repeatedly as he was heard asking the cashier to put some of the products to the side. But, his card wouldn’t pass and he had nothing else to offer.

“There was a girl and boy with him, and I heard them call him ‘Dad’ several times. The girl was a pre-teen, and the boy was about my son’s age. I could see the embarrassment written all over their faces,” Sara said.

She could see the devastation on the father’s face as his family was about to spend the holidays without the essential products and the food they needed so much.

At that moment, Sara heard the God’s command. 

“Then suddenly, I felt it. It was like a gentle shove on the back and a mild electric shock to my heart.”

“Pay for these groceries,” it said. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the money…I’ll provide. Trust Me.”

She, however, didn’t know what to say because she didn’t want the man to feel even more embarrassed. 

“That small voice still called again. Another shove. Stronger this time. ‘I’ve got it,’ I blurted out loudly, as heat flooded my face.”

He turned down to see who the kind person standing behind him was and said, “I don’t know how to thank you. I’m a single Dad. It’s so hard.”

“It’s okay. I wanted to help. I know it’s what God told me to do. And I have been there,’ I replied quietly,” Sara recalls.

She was happy she could make the day of the father and his two children who wouldn’t stop looking straight into her eyes. 

But then, around two months later, something incredible happened. Sara was at the church when she spotted the family sitting at the end of her pew. 

Sara started crying quietly. She was happy to see the father and his two kids again and she couldn’t believe how of all the churches, they were now in hers. 

“I never told him I was a Christian. I never even told him where I went to church. The same One who brought this Dad and his family to my church that Sunday.”

Sara than knew that doing good for others wasn’t about the people showing kindness, but it was all about HIM. 

“Glory to the Lord God Almighty, great things HE hath done.”

Raquel Welch is looking as gorgeous as ever at 81 years old

We often tend to believe that all the celebrities have been given all they have on a plate. The reality is quite different, and most of these people who live glamorous lives and have millions of fans from all over the world had to work really hard for what they have and who they are today.

Although she comes from a family of famous engineers and architects, Raquel Welch’s life wasn’t always smooth sailing. Born in 1940 as Jo Raquel Tejada, Welch tried herself as a ballerina during her young age, but her coach thought she just didn’t have the “right figure.” As a result, Welch decided to use her natural beauty and appeared in several beauty contests, winning most of them. At the age of 14, Welch was crowned Miss San Diego.

“I wasn’t good at dealing with reality… I wanted a storybook life, to be Rapunzel and Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, all the beautiful ladies that wonderful men came along on their big white horses and dragged away. Which is not remarkable, a lot of kids grow up that way. But I decided it was gonna happen,” Welch said back in 1974.

When she turned 18, Welch married James Welch, but the two untied the knot in 1961 after which she moved to Texas with their two children.

Frank Sinatra and Raquel Welch from the motion picture Lady in Cement.

Welch had a hard time coping with reality and taking care of her kids all by herself, but the thought of becoming an actress never left her.

How else would her wish of so many years come true if not in Hollywood. So, her next step was moving there and being as close as never to this incredible world of glamour. There, Welch met her second husband, press agent Patrick Curtis. This man was so in love with Welch that he managed to present her to the world as a celebrity without her even playing in a single movie at the time, all thanks to her curves and her sensual face. That, however, was a great start to the rich career that would await this icon.

She didn’t start huge but played some small roles in various movies, including Elvis Presley’s film Roustabout (1964).

Then, she stole the hearts of the lovers of film playing in Fantastic Voyage (1966) and One Million Years B.C. “I had made another movie which was a big step up for me (Fantastic Voyage),” she said during an interview with the Sunday Post in 2018. That “should have been released before One Million Years B.C., but the special effects delayed it, so I was the dinosaur lady first and the science lady second,” Welch said.

Playing a cave girl in One Million Years B.C, Welch only had a single line, but that didn’t stop her from showing her incredible talent and her breathtaking looks. “I had no other credentials as an actress outside of that one laughable line of dialogue: ‘Me Loana… You Tumak.’ It felt like I’d stumbled into a booby trap – pun intended. I’m a living proof that a picture speaks a thousand words,” Welch said.

Throughout the years, Welch took part in many films and she even got her own television program called Raquel! Her healthy lifestyle and her passion for yoga resulted in her publishing a book with exercises.

Men’s Health named her second hottest woman of all time in their 2014 issue.

Welch married four times, and although she claimed she had true feeling for all her husbands, none of the relationships lasted long.

At the age of almost 80, Welch still steals hearts from fans from all over the world and is still dubbed one of the most beautiful women ever.

Mom has been criticized for posting photos online of her son doing chores around the house, from cleaning to cooking

Societies tend to consider many things to be either boys’ or girls’. Somehow, it is always expected from the females to know how to cook, do the laundry, and clean the house, while most males are expected to be skillful with tools and do sports.

When boys or men do what is believed to be a female responsibility, people find that strange and something to be laughed about.

One mother from Michigan, Nicole Boulogne, came under fire when she posted photos of her 7-year-old son cooking and cleaning the house. Many questioned her parenting because they believed boys shouldn’t do chores and help around the house because according to them, that is a woman’s job.

Being a single mom of two, Nicole is doing her best to teach her kids to be independent. She does everything around the house, but at the same time, she believes that her kids need to learn to do things themselves because it will help them later in life.

Her older child knows how to cook simple things, how to mow the lawn, and do the dishes. Her other child is still a toddler, but she’s planning on teaching him how to do the same once he reaches certain age.

When asked why she teaches her child do things like these, she has the perfect response.

“I teach my son to cook & do household chores. Why? Because household work isn’t just for women. Because one day he might be a single man, living on his own, who will actually know how to do laundry & not eat take out every night. Because one day he might want to impress a significant other with a meal cooked by his own hands. Because one day when he has kids & a spouse, he’s going to need to do his fair share around the home. Because I leave in a generation of people who complain that school didn’t teach us how to cook, do laundry, tie a tie, or pay taxes. Because teaching my son how to do these things and be a productive member of society both outside the home and inside, starts with ME. Because it’s ok to let your child be a child but still teach them lifelong lessons along the way. My son will never be too “manly” to cook or do chores. He will be the kind of man who can come inside from changing a tire to check on his pot roast. Who can properly sort his laundry and mow the lawn too. Remember parents, a man who believes he shouldn’t have to cook or do chores was once a boy who was never taught any better,” she wrote.

Science is definitely on this mom’s side. Studies find that children who are allowed to help around the house learn how to take responsibility and dare to take initiative and achieve high goals later in life.

Way to go, Nicole. We believe you do an awesome job as a mom.
