|     1:13    |     NEWS    | Watch: Killer Whales Charge Blue Whale (Rare Drone Footage) This video, recorded with an aerial drone camera, captures a dramatic encounter between two of the ocean's most iconic species. (Notice I didn't say whale species: Even though orcas are commonly referred to as "killer whales," they're actually the biggest members of the dolphin family.) The orcas' coordinated strike (0:07) illustrates their hunting prowess. It might have only been for sport, but their charge was still enough to send the world's biggest animal racing for safety (1:00). —Will Halicks, senior producer WATCH NOW SHARE

|     1:33    |     NEWS    | Siberian Tiger Rescued From City Streets, Returned to Wild Human-animal conflict is one of the biggest contributors to the decline of wild tiger populations. Siberian tigers were reduced to 20-30 individuals back in the 1930s but have since rebounded. Today, there are an estimated 360 left in the wild. Fortunately, here we have a story with a happy ending. In 2016, Vladik the tiger was found wandering the streets of a busy Russian city. After spending eight months in rehabilitation, he was released into Bikin National Park, far away from any human settlements. —Nick Lunn, editor WATCH NOW SHARE

|     3:52    |     SHORT FILM SHOWCASE    | Discover This Island's Hidden Treasures in a Stunning Time-Lapse If there's ever a video that strikes up a strong feeling of wanderlust, it just might be this one. In under 4 minutes, you are transported far from home to the astounding beauty of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands. There you are greeted with exciting views of beaches, starry skies, cityscapes, mountains, and more. Set to an electrifying soundtrack, this short film also travels to graffitied buildings that have long been deserted, allowing new plant life to grow and weave itself through the rubble. —Milaena Hamilton, associate producer WATCH NOW SHARE

|     0:42    |     ANIMALS    | Can You Spot the Octopus? As you can imagine, working in video at National Geographic means that I get to watch loads of unique videos every day, likely hundreds per month. Out of the many, this one struck me with particular fascination, because I had no idea that an octopus could change colors so quickly. At 0:04, it’s amazing to see the octopus use its camouflage ability to transform as fast as flipping a light switch! It is so beautifully framed and palpably vibrant that it almost looks unreal, like something you’d see in the movie Finding Dory. —Richie Hertzberg, video operations coordinator WATCH NOW SHARE
