The case stems from the Feb. 24, 2010, death of SeaWorld Orlando trainer Dawn Brancheau, who was battered and drowned by the 12,000-pound male orca Tilikum. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration spent six months investigating SeaWorld’s killer-whale program after the tragedy, ultimately charging SeaWorld with a “willful” safety violation — its most severe classification — and recommending that trainers never again be allowed in close contact with the animals unless protected by a physical barrier or something offering the same level of protection.

This may cause "happy tears". Your heart will swell as you watch these chimpanzees who have been kept in captivity for medical experiments for 30 years step outside for the first time. Many have never stepped foot outdoors in their lives before now. Beautiful!
Located in South Africa,Chimp Eden is a sanctuary for chimpanzees that have been rescued from extremely abusive situations. Some of them have been kept with a chain around their neck for decades. The goal is to rehabilitate them so they can be released into the wild. This means, they must be taught how to be a chimpanzee. Some come to the sanctuary not even knowing how to climb trees.

Seabirds eat everything from twine, candy wrappers and Styrofoam, and their stomach contents show there’s been a dramatic increase in plastic pollution off the Pacific Northwest coast in the last four decades, a new study suggests.
University of British Columbia researcher Stephanie Avery-Gomm said the amount of plastic a northern fulmar gobbles up provides a snapshot of the garbage that ends up in a big part of the Pacific Ocean. Globe and Mail
The answer is clear. Their fur reflects the sunlight, making it appear white.
Each hair shaft is pigment-free and transparent with a hollow core that scatters and reflects visible light, much like what happens with ice and snow.Polar bears look whitest when they are clean and in sunlight, especially just after the molt period, which usually begins in spring and is complete by late summer.
