You may know all the characters from Disney if you grew up watching anything Disney. However‚ you probably don’t know the voice actor behind your favorites. As Disney prepares to celebrate Donald Duck’s 90th birthday‚ he and Daisy are having a chit-chat on the lawn. Donald Duck looked over and saw Emmy Award-winning voice actor Daniel Ross. Recognizing the man responsible for his famous voice‚ Donald began frantically waving and clapping. Image from TikTok. In true form‚ Daniel began using his iconic Donald Duck voice to carry on a brief conversation with the duck. One of the questions Daniel asked was if Donald liked the shirt he was wearing. It was a total fan-boy shirt covered with images of the famous duck. @actordanielross Had to say hello to The Boss before his 90th Birthday! #donaldduck #donaldduckvoice #voiceactor ♬ original sound – Daniel Ross Daniel Ross is only the third person to ever “officially” provide the voice for Donald Duck. Since the character is 90 years old‚ that’s a neat bit of trivia! Daniel began his stint voicing Donald Duck for Mickey and the Roadster Racers/Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures. Since then‚ he has been Donald for several short features and specials. Image from TikTok. Daniel Ross also provides voices for Lucky Charms cereal mascot Lucky the Leprechaun. He was the voice of Gizmo and Stripe (Gremlins) in the MultiVersus Game and Mixmaster and Hound in Transformers: The Game. While most of his work is as a voice actor‚ Daniel also has spent time in front of the camera‚ appearing in several films and on TV. Daniel Ross received the first-ever Children’s and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice Performance in a Preschool Animated Program. The celebrated performance was for the special production of “Mickey and Minnie Wish Upon a Christmas.” Of course‚ Daniel Ross provided Donald Duck’s voice.

They say that alligators survived the ice age‚ and that may be true. Although they cannot withstand extreme cold temperatures. They likely did not reside in the most northern climates but could have survived in the southern regions. Alligators don’t hibernate as many mammals do but can go into a period of dormancy known as a modified form of brumation. Such was the case in North Carolina recently when a park ranger noticed a frozen alligator. Image from Facebook. Lovingly called “gatorcicles‚” the frozen alligators appeared when temperatures dropped down into the teens. The swamps where the rescued critters reside are not very deep‚ so they are subject to freezing when outside temperatures drop and remain low. The Shallotte River Swamp Park in Ocean Isle Beach‚ NC‚ posted a video chronicling the event. The park is open year-round and hosts family activities‚ including zip lines and guided ATV and swamp boat tours. You can enjoy the live Gator cam on YouTube. In addition to hosting family activities‚ the park is also an alligator sanctuary. Image from Facebook. While many people are aware of what hibernation is‚ most have never heard of the reptile version. Thought of as an extreme type of brumation‚ alligators have the ability to go dormant during freezing temperatures. When their habitat freezes‚ they will extend their snout above the surface to allow for breathing. The water freezes around their nose‚ and they will remain in place until the next thaw. On warmer days‚ they will wake enough to drink water and shift slightly while basking in the sun. When passing by one of these dormant gators‚ visitors will likely only see teeth. Huge gator teeth just hovering in a frozen gator-grimace. “Their pond that they live in has frozen‚” said park manager George Howard in a Facebook post. He added‚ “Thick enough for these guys to do what they do‚ which is stick their nose up out of the ice so that they can breathe‚ and suspend themselves in the water.” Due to the warmer climate in NC‚ the gators won’t stay frozen for more than a few days at a time. The ability to go into dormancy is part of their survival. Although it might be tempting‚ we do not recommend attempting to boop the snoot of a frozen alligator. Please share this if you enjoyed learning about the frozen alligators. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here and here.

There’s a reason that dogs are considered to be man’s best friend. The Farm Bureau recognizes this and aims to shine a light on some of the best canines around through their Farm Dog of the Year contest. Each year‚ they invite farmers to submit nominations. This year‚ the first prize goes to a caring dog named Skippy. His owner‚ Donald Adams‚ had been a farmer for years before his four-legged friend became his right-hand pup. Like so many others‚ Donald loves what he does. Then‚ while Donald and his son were working with bails of hay‚ one bounced in such a way that it hit the back of his head. This broke his neck and bent his spinal cord. It also left him completely paralyzed from the neck down. Still‚ Donald remained determined. TikTok “I wasn’t gonna leave the farm‚” Donald shares. “There was no doubt — as long as I got a breath in me‚ I’m gonna take care of the cattle and the farm.” Then‚ while at the hospital‚ he was introduced to PHARM Dog. This non-profit places dogs with disabled farmers so they have the ability to continue to live the live that they love so dearly. This is how Skippy came into Donald’s life and changed it in the best way possible.

Plus‚ he gets recognized at the Farm Dog of the Year ceremony! TikTok As you can imagine‚ Skippy getting this recognition means the world to the Adams family! But I imagine this moment is especially touching for the pup’s best friend‚ Donald. “He’s about like my wife‚ about like my children is‚ ya know?” Donald says. “You just think so much of these dogs.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
