Thirteen stories about surprising animal friendships. The story about the Lion, Tiger and Bear is probably my favourite.

Sustainable Wind Bridge

A bridge designed by Francesco Colarossi, Giovanna Saracino and Luisa Saracino to generate wind power is still on paper. But if constructed, it will generate 40 million kWh per year.

Stray dog saves boy in Siberia

A stray dog in Siberia saved a young boy who was feeding ducks and had fallen into a frozen pond. The dogs barking alerted Tatiyana Balashov, a volunteer who feeds stray dogs, who alerted utility workers close by. The dog, Naida, has since been adopted by a loving family in a village nearby.

Processed Food Linked to Lower IQs

Researchers discovered a link between children eating processed foods aged three and under to lower Intelligence Quotient (IQ). These findings sounds reasonable because children development is so critical in the early years. I can not fathom feeding your little one garbage full of chemicals and additives.

Children Swim with Polar Bears

I was a bit skeptical when I read this article, but apparently at Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat near Ontario (a family resort) children can swim next to polar bears separated by a 25 cm (10-inch-thick) glass wall. I only hope this bear habitat is a natural, eco-friendly habitat that is not merely a cheap, tourist attraction.

Cheetah Cam

The Smithsonian Zoo has a new Cheetah Cam. The cam shows a female Cheetah and her new cubs.

I am fond of their Octopus Cam.
