October 31, 2015 Pumpkin Season at The Sanctuary Ronnie (L) and Minnie In addition to the natural forage available in their Sanctuary habitats, the elephants' diets also include hay, produce, and nutritional supplements provided by Caregivers.
Thanks to the donors who participate in our Feed for A Day and Adopt and Elephant programs, Sanctuary staff are able to provide the elephants with a diverse range of dietary options, and each elephant has her own tastes. Pumpkins, however, seem to be a Sanctuary-wide favorite…and pumpkin season is upon us. Pumpkins with additional dietary treats. Over the past two weeks, pumpkins have been appearing out the habitat…some decorated, some filled with other nutritional supplements…to be discovered by the elephants.

The pandas were born by making use of artificial insemination and the father of the twins is a male panda called Da Mao. The twin pandas are doing fine and are little lesser than 190 and 115 grams respectively. The strangest part is that the mother panda cares more for one panda over the other. Hence, the zookeepers are planning to swap the cubs to ensure that the mother panda starts caring for both. Toronto Zoo’s management was all praises for the efforts of the scientists and the staff that were behind the birth of the pandas. Baby snow monkey making a snowball.

Parachuting Beavers Skydived Over Idaho in the 1950s. There was a time when it rained rodents over rural Idaho.
Post-World War II suburbanization in the Gem State brought Idahoans face to face with a formidable opponent: beavers. As new suburbanites clashed with the small rodents, Idaho Fish and Game launched an ambitious program aimed at relocating beavers out of areas suddenly booming with humans. Much of that program involved live-trapping and transplanting the fur-bearing critters via truck to nearby ponds. One enterprising conservationist had the bright idea of relocating the beavers to what is now the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area, a remote area that was devoid of human activity and booming with wildlife. #ScienceSunday . #PolarBears don’t hibernate, but pregnant bears dig dens.

Mother Whale And Dolphin Take Babies Swimming In Remarkable Footage. A recent video shows the incredible moment a mother humpback whale and mother dolphin bring their families together.
The footage, which was taken from a drone, shows a humpback whale and her calf swimming with a mother dolphin and her calf. Though the humpback pair dwarfs the dolphins, the two families glide peacefully next to each other. It seems to be a conscious decision on the part of the mothers to bring their little families close together; the humpbacks follow closely behind the relaxed dolphins, and at times the mother humpback appears to be just inches away from the dolphin mother's tail.
Despite their size difference, humpbacks and dolphins have formed similar cross-species friendships on several occasions — they've even been spotted playing with each other. You can watch the encounter below. Whale Mom Spotted With The Rarest Thing... They were named "right whales" because they were once considered the right whales to hunt.
But whaling decimated the healthy worldwide population of the southern right whale down from 60,000 to just a few thousand worldwide, until they became a protected species in 1935. Now, they're staging a slow comeback, and once-rare sightings of southern right whales are becoming more and more common. But a recent sighting just off the coast of west Australia was a rarity indeed.

Affectionately named Pinky, the blush-colored creature was first spotted in 2007 in Louisiana's Calcasieu Lake by charter boat captain Erik Rue. "It was absolutely, stunningly pink," Rue said in a 2009 interview. "I had never seen anything like it. It's the same color throughout the whole body. It looks like it just came out of a paint booth.
" In the eight years that have since passed, Pinky has been spotted on multiple occasions, according to WGNO. It's unclear exactly why Pinky is so brilliantly pink. Two other dolphin species -- the Chinese white dolphin (Sousa chinensis) and the Amazon river dolphin (Inia geoffrensis) -- are colloquially known as pink dolphins, although neither species is quite as stunningly pink-hued as Pinky.
