BBC's Human Planet - Showdown In Elktown
Every summer, male elk invade Estes, Colorado. Not my first choice for summer vacation, but if I was invited to a stag party, I may reconsider.
Go Outside
Go outside? What? But I would rather procrastinate on (insert lame web site here)...

Australians Stealing Penguins For Pets
Poachers are scaling fences near Granite Island off of Adelaide to stealing penguins for pets. These penguins are endangered because only 146 exist compared to 1,500 only 10 years ago.
Granite Island Penguin Centre co-ordinator Dorothy Longden, who has worked for the centre for seven years, started a petition to close the causeway leading to the facility. However, she has only collected 1,000 signatures but hopes to have the required 2,000 to protect the birds.

Orange You Cute
The Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, celebrated the birth of an orange baby monkey to the Francois langur monkey family last month. Keo-co (pronounced Key-co) was born to mother Saigon and father Hanoi, is very curious, but stays very close to his mother. When he was born, his mother was afraid of him, but his fur will change to black in six months time.

Plastic Content of a Sea Turtle
You may have heard about the plastic island floating in the Pacific Ocean, but what about all the plastic debris marine animals ingest? I know when I see litter in parks, beaches or waterfront areas it makes me cringe. I always think: is an animal going to eat it thinking it is food?
Here is a sample of plastic items found in the stomach and intestinal (gastrointestinal) tract of a juvenile sea turtle. The turtle had an obstruction and could not pass waste. In a period of one month, the turtle passed 74 foreign objects. Would we let a child eat a piece of plastic? I think not.
