The most badass leopard ambush ever recorded
The Male Lion – Undisputed King of the African Jungle
At one time lions were abundant throughout the African continent as well as in Greece, the Middle East and Northern India – how sad to see that today they only occur naturally in sub-Saharan Africa (mostly in eastern and southern Africa), and even here their numbers have declined by more than 42% in the last two decades alone. (A small number can still be found in India). It is interesting and significant that wherever the symbolic lion appears it is always the splendid male lion, even though the lioness does most of the hunting!..http://www.wherelionsroam.com/the-male-lion/

Rescued Elephant Adopts an Orphan Mouse and Raises Her as Her Own
by Kate Good
When it comes to mice and elephants, most of us know that a very tense relationship exists. Elephants may be massive pachyderms who seem to dominate the world around them with poise and grace – but when you add a mouse into the mix, suddenly these great beings are reduced to nothing more than a bumbling, clumsy mess.
We know we spent most of our childhoods watching cartoon interactions between these animals and laughing at the ridiculousness of it all, which is why when we saw this story from the Elephant Conservation Trust (ECT) in Nairobi, Kenya, we had to do a massive double take.
About five years ago, ECT rescued an orphaned elephant named Kutania. The little elephant had gotten trapped in a well and was sadly left behind by her herd. When they found little Kutania, she was in a terrible state and it took months of coaxing to get her to trust her human caretakers. After the apparent rejection she faced after being abandoned by her herd, Kutania was extremely wary of the other elephants at the sanctuary. According to her caretakers, she would run out to play with the other little elephants, but if they didn’t immediately show her attention, she would retreat – afraid to face the brunt of rejection yet again.
This didn’t bode well for little Kutania’s chances of making it in the wild and caretakers were beginning to become resigned to the fact that she would forever be in the confines of the sanctuary – but then something amazing happened...http://www.onegreenplanet.org

Lloydminster woman and pet pig return home after favourable ruling
A Lloydminster woman and her beloved micro pig Arnold have moved back into the city after a judge ruled the 32-kilogram swine is a pet, not livestock.
Stacey Walton received a ticket last summer for violating the City of Lloyminster’s domestic animal bylaw, which forbids keeping livestock in the city. She was fined $100 and told to get rid of Arnold, who she purchased nearly two years ago at a rare and exotic animal sale.
Walton couldn’t bear to part with the pig, who sleeps in her bed and hangs out at the garage where she works. She fought the ticket in court earlier this spring, calling her boyfriend and members of her family to testify to the fact that Arnold is more similar to a pet dog than livestock.
That may have helped sway the judge, who told Walton last week that she can keep the critter within city limits.
“I was very happy. I ran and grabbed my pig, brought him to the shop,” Walton said...http://thestarphoenix.com/news/local-news/lloydminster-woman-and-pet-pig-return-home-after-favourable-ruling
