Lewis Hamilton trains with penguins and sea lion

Lewis Hamilton is one of those people who love animals so much. Whether it's strolling with his dog, Roscoe, or advocating for meat-less diets – the F1 legend is as friendly as the animals he loves spending time with.

Before entering into the new Formula 1 season, Hamilton has traveled to Antarctica, which he describes in one clip as ‘the most beautiful place I’ve ever been.'

And in another, the seven-time world champion is seen running through the snow before panning round to show some penguins in shot.

One sea lion is even kind enough to look up for the camera as Hamilton turns his phone around to show the incredible backdrop.

“Out for a run here,” he says before showing his new friends. “Penguins! Hey, guys.”

“It’s a beautiful storm, guys.”

Hamilton has long been applauded by many animal rights organisations for inspiring his legions of fans to follow his lead, jump-start their own energy levels, and spare animals’ lives by going vegan.

And Antarctica is just another stop after a year that saw him training with surfing legend Kelly Slater, as well as solo skydiving in between races.

That cold weather training may come in handy for the 37-year-old, while many of his rivals take to warmer climates to prepare for the season which kicks off in Bahrain on March 3.

Before that, though, there’s testing at the Sakhir circuit from February 24 to 26, while Hamilton and George Russell’s W14 challenger will be launched on February 15.

Whether the penguins will be around for the Mercedes unveiling is yet to be announced.

The Real Risks: Weighing Vaccine Side Effects vs. Deadly Diseases

Some dog owners express concern about vaccine risks. Meanwhile, preventable diseases continue to pose a documented threat. For example, a two-year pause in dog rabies vaccination campaigns in Haiti resulted in a five to eightfold increase in animal rabies cases within a single year, creating a public health crisis that required an emergency response. This event illustrates a central fact: the dangers of vaccine-preventable diseases are quantifiably greater than the known risks associated with vaccination. This article will address concerns about vaccine safety by examining the precise nature of both vaccine risks and disease threats, using verifiable data to support informed decision-making for your dog's health. The Biological Impossibility of Canine Autism The claim that vaccines cause autism in dogs is not supported by veterinary science due to fundamental biological reasons.

5 Must-Ask Questions Before You Leave Your Dog at the Groomer

A 2022 study in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior noted that over 50% of dogs show signs of stress during grooming. While severe physical injuries are less common, a single preventable incident is one too many. Cases like those in Louisiana, where dogs received ocular chemical burns from misused shampoo at a licensed facility, demonstrate that a groomer’s marketing claims are not a guarantee of safety. Your dog’s well-being depends on the protocols you cannot see. The only way to evaluate them is to ask direct, specific questions. The goal is not to create conflict, but to identify competence and build trust based on transparent practices. 1. “What is your exact step-by-step protocol for protecting my dog’s eyes during the bath?” The difference between a safe groom and a dangerous one lies in the specifics of execution. Indicator of a Professional “Before the bath, we apply a sterile, vet-approved ophthalmic ointment to lubricate the eyes and create a barrier against shampoo. We av...
