 Shark from San Antonio Aquarium returned after thieves are caught on video using baby stroller to carry animal ... LEON VALLEY, Texas - Texas authorities found a shark on Monday that was stolen from the San Antonio Aquarium by three suspects who concealed the animal in a stroller. [hidden image - please register] According to the Leon Valley Police Department, a male suspect reached into the tank and removed a gray horn shark from an exhibit. The incident reportedly happened Saturday around 2:15 p.m. Two people have since confessed to the crime. The shark is about two feet long. "It's absolutely insane," said aquarium owner Ammon Covino. "They grabbed the shark right out of the tank." Covino said the suspects entered near the gift shop and walked all the way through the aquarium towards the exhibits near the front entrance. They waited for an employee to turn his back and then grabbed the shark with a net they brought. After grabbing the shark, the suspects poured out a bleach solution into the aquarium's water filtration system and used the bucket to help transport the shark in the stroller, according to a press release from the aquarium.

 Whale protects diver from nearby shark ... This is the heart-stopping moment when a giant, 50,000-pound humpback whale took it upon itself to push an unsuspecting snorkeler through the water, looking to protect her from a nearby SHARK. [hidden image - please register] The stunning video and images Nan Hauser and her team were able to capture - including point-of-view footage - show how the whale pushed whale biologist Nan with his head and his mouth, tucked her under its pectoral fin - even lifted the biologist out of the water on one occasion. The moment, Nan, 63, said, is perhaps proof of whale's intuitive nature to protect other species of animal - including humans - something she believes has never been captured on film, and intuition the biologist compared to firemen being willing to rush into a house on fire to help save the lives of those they do not know. |

Some 20 or 30 have been reported with a single hen. But 70-plus? “It’s an extraordinary sighting,” said Richard O. Prum, an ornithologist at Yale University.

The loneliest man in the world: Last known survivor of Amazonian tribe killed by farmers is captured on camera after 22 years of living alone in the jungle ... Captivating footage has emerged of the last known survivor of an Amazonian tribe who has wandered the rainforest alone for 22 years - after the rest of his people were wiped out by murderous land-grabbing cattle ranchers two decades ago. [hidden image - please register] The half-naked man in his fifties uses an axe to chop down a tree in the footage taken by Brazilian government officials in the remote state of Rondonia. It is thought that he managed to survive when farmers and land grabbers killed and expelled indigenous Amazonians throughout the 1970s and 1980s. [hidden image - please register] 'After the last farmer attack in late 1995, the group that was probably already small – from reports, the local staff believed [it] to be six people – became one person. The guilty were never punished.' Funai has a strict policy of leaving isolated groups in the region alone, but they have monitored his activity from a distance since he was first spotted in 1996. Experts first discovered him in the jungle in 1996 and his face was only filmed for the first time in 1998. Aged in his 50s, he is thought to have lived alone there for the past 22 years using bow and arrow to hunt. [hidden link - please register] |

New hope for world's rarest feline with discovery of two Scottish wildcat kittens. The world's rarest cat has received an unexpected population boost after two orphaned kittens were discovered in Scotland. [hidden image - please register] Just 35 Scottish wildcats were thought to remain in the wild in Britain, and the sub-species is in danger of dying out because the animals often breed with feral domesticated cats, creating hybrids. [hidden image - please register] But the conservation group Wildcat Haven has rescued two weak and dehydrated kittens which were spotted and photographed by a member of the public in the east highlands. It is likely the pair would not have survived on their own without their mother, and they were edging closer to a road where they could have been hit by traffic. |

Some monkeys in Panama may have just stumbled into the Stone Age ... Another non-human primate has entered the Stone Age - the fourth type known to have done so. A population of white-faced capuchins living on a Panamanian island routinely use stones to smash open nuts and shellfish. Other nearby populations don't use stone tools, which might suggest that primates - perhaps including our ancestors - stumble into the Stone Age by chance. [hidden image - please register] Chimpanzees in West Africa, macaques in Thailand and several species of tufted capuchin monkey living in South America use stone tools to access food. Brendan Barrett at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Radolfzell, Germany, and his colleagues have now discovered that a species of non-tufted, slender-bodied capuchin also uses stone tools [hidden image - please register] Camera traps showed that male capuchins in one corner of JicarÓn Island use stone tools to crack open coconuts, crabs and snails. Capuchins elsewhere on JicaroÓn don't use stone tools, and neither do those on nearby islands. [hidden link - please register] |
