Lioness and Cubs Live 24/7!
We’re a little behind on the news, but this is certainly one story worth covering. Sera is the lioness to give birth to the first lion cubs in Norway. At the Kristiansand Dyrepark, Sera is the proud mother of four lion cubs: Nala, Lea, Kiara and Akira. They were born in the morning of May 31st, the event being fully covered and broadcasted online. More than two weeks have passed and people are constantly watching Sera and her cubs: they’re either playing, being pampered by their mother or sleeping.
Best Friends: Cat and Bear
Mausi the cat and Muschi the bear are one of the weirdest animal couples we’ve ever seen. The cat, a female moggi, and the Asian black bear, leave, sleep and play together at Berlin’s Zoo. The two met seven years ago, when the cat entered the bear’s cave and started eating its food. Visitors are puzzled yet fascinated by the odd friendship. No one knows how this exactly happened - maybe the bear it’s lonely or perhaps it’s love. Here is the odd couple.

Inspiring Ads for Animal Protection
The Nicolas Hulot foundation is a controversial organization, beloging to the French ecologist Nicolas Hulot, that has been widely criticized for accepting funds from companies such as EDF, L’Oréal or Rhône-Poulenc. Nonetheless, the organization has an inspirational ad campaign that depicts a clear message: Our destines are linked to the ones of animals. By protecting biodiversity, we indirectly protect ourselves and our children.
Newly discovered fossil links frogs to salamanders
Scientists recently discovered the 290 million-year-old fossil of a “frogamander”, which links modern frogs and salamanders and may provide the answer for the long debate about amphibian ancestry.
