everyone. i'm beth troutman. let's take a look at the best videos the web has to offer, "right this minute." an adventure photographer dodges lava explosions up to -- >> 2200 degrees fahrenheit. >> the stunning results of getting this close to a volcano. some scientists are surprised when a whale -- >> nudges their boat. >> how it hit them right on the funny bone.
9:31 am
[ laughter ] a taxi driver on a tear plows into cars. >> one, two, three, and finally -- >> what he saved for the big finish. and a musician trades bongos for buns. the surprise in the video even we didn't see the first time. >> you know what? that is -- >> you are looking at incredible images shot by canadian extreme photographer daniel fox. he spent the last month capturing these images in a lava field in hawaii. as you can see, these images are incredibly beautiful. what he was trying to capture was kind of the other worldliness of volcano lava. he wanted to take kind of a more artistic perspective to show the shapes, the textures, the movements of the lava. and he got incredibly close to capture some of these amazing images. in of these beautiful images.
9:32 am
he would go out to the lava field two to three times per week with a 90-minute hike toward this lava field each time he went out. and at any given point the lava explosions could be between 1300 and 2200 degrees fahrenheit. he said he could just get so close for so long before his face would start burning and he'd have to move back away from the lava. >> kind of like when you look at clouds. i feel like you can see pictures of stuff in there. you can see images of, you know, little designs and things. and in lava, which is neat. >> it forces you to look at lava in a different way. it almost looks alive as he gets this close. >> hard to determine the scale of what he's shooting. i can't figure out if what i'm seeing is really huge or just something small in the foreground and i think that's what's kind of fun. >> did you bring the marshmallows and graham crackers and chocolate for some s'mores? novina shine is a seattle,
9:33 am
washington, woman. she's planning a very shocking six-month experiment that she plans to share with everyone online. >> my name is novina shine. i'm the founder and the subject in our first experience. >> shine is a founder of living on light, which is a group of people that follows just -- she's a huge proponent of this. people like her believe they can thrive and live by not consuming food but just by consuming light and water. she is trying to prove everyone wrong. she's now more than 30 days into the experiment. this is her latest video which she uploaded on may 31st. she says she lost about 20 pounds but she does claim to be drinking water. eventually as this process continues, she wants to just drop the water altogether as well. >> we need to eat and drink.
9:34 am
sorry. eat healthy if you want to be healthy. >> she apparently will have eight cameras at all times to prove that she's not cheating. and at this point she's only posting youtube videos because of technical difficulties. some people are skeptical about that because she could be eating between videos. she claims that she is not. she claims that she's being honest. whoo! [ laughter ] >> all this crazy laughter on a boat you think someone made a really funny joke but, no, you are seeing nan howser, a marine biologist. sometimes known as the whale wonderwoman. here's what they saw near the cook islands. >> okay, okay. >> oh! they are laughing at this giant whale that comes and nudges their boat.
9:35 am
we've got world oceans day coming up on june 8th. and nan is working to create a 425,000-square-mile marine park that would protect the island's tourism industry. and a big part of that is tagging these big huge mammals. >> by satellite tagging, we can set up zones where the fishermen can fish but the whales can still migrate safely. tagging. it's the scariest thing you could imagine doing. >> this makes sense then. this whale knew what they were up to like, yeah, go ahead. tag me. i want to live in this protected area where nobody is going to come and poach me. >> they're out there in these waters to try to find whales. this is what they are trying to do and then the whales sort of sound them. that's awesome. dash cam video, check this
9:36 am
guy up ahead. he's riding a scooter. he's all over the road. he's in the opposite lane of trah oncoming cars right here. he crosses over the line and just head-on with a van. just misses that. it's like he's playing chicken but the other people didn't know they were playing, too. >> his luck is about to run out. right here at this corner -- >> oh, boy. >> doesn't even try to evade that van. it looks like he runs into the van. the van didn't run into him. >> yeah, he was wobbly from the start. that didn't look good. >> i hope he's okay. >> me, too. this dash cam will leave you scratching your head. this is from a taxi driver. he makes this turn and just bumps that silver toyota. sets off the car alarm. the taxi driver backs up. there's no damage to this car. but he takes off like he just ran over somebody's dog. he hits one, two -- >> what?
9:37 am
>> whoa, he flipped over. >> rolls his cab over because he's trying to run away from a fender. i can't even call it a fender bender. >> there's got to be more to this story here because that's quite a severe reaction for a very minor bump. >> maybe, maybe, he was freaked out because maybe he had been, you know, intoxicated somehow. he didn't want to get in trouble. >> he wasn't drunk but he didn't have a license to carry passengers. he was an unlicensed taxi and that's why he took off. enzo the family cat is meeting a new family dog. >> enzo is curious. >> see what happens when the dog tries to show who's boss. and a dude goes wakeboard -- >> off the back of his boat with nobody driving. >> why he could be in deep water.
9:40 am
♪ what you have got here is a tiger cub. this is little enzo. as you can tell, enzo is not where you'd expect enzo to be. not in the wild. enzo is in the kitchen and enzo has a new family member who is trying to get used to him. meet whiskey. >> what kind you got? >> whisky is the family's new dog. and whisky is not quite sure what to do. >> never easy introducing cats and dogs. >> and you see enzo doing that cat prepare to pounce move. >> ooh. >> but enzo was quite polite. didn't pounce. whisky is not happy. the dog is like, that's the biggest cat i've ever seen in my life. but whisky is not scared.

linoleum. now his foot is in the bowl. >> i think that's more like guarding the bowl. you don't want it now. these two live in a home in south africa and belong to michael jamison and jackie smith. these are not the only two animals that live in this house. apparently they have 14 dogs and this video is a little older. this is when enzo was less than a year old. but i do believe whiskey established dominance. >> he won this round. i'm excited to s ed td to ss this one. a new form of racing. man versus bird. this is g. atherton, a pro mountain biker versus the fastest bird in the world, the paragrin falcon. they take a big bag, stick it to the cyclist's bag. take the hood off the bird. the bird catches an eye of that and is like, let's go.
9:42 am
red bull also put together completely separate video from g. atherton, the mountain biker's point of view seeing the bird coming at his backpack in different angles. you really get to see the bird in action making tight turns, adjusting its body in midair at such high speed trying to nab this bag. >> i hope he has protection on because that thing has talons and is going to grab. >> the sbird immediately off from the start line jabbing at this guy's back. but it's hard to really grab that bag because it's tiny. and the mountain biker is zipping all over the place. the motorcyclist turns left, the bird turns left. reaches up. you see his talons come out and misses. misses again. eventually, though, the bird catches up. >> got it! just tore it right off his back and took off. if you want to see the entire
