Researchers in panda costumes perform a physical exam on a 6-month-old panda cub at the Wolong Giant Panda Reserve Centre in China in February 2011. The cub, born to a captive panda mother, was the first captive-bred cub to be reintroduced to the wild. The researchers dressed as pandas so the cub wouldn’t begin to identify with humans.

“it’s extremely cruel and sad what people are doing to these fish. they catch the sharks, cut off their fins, and throw them back in the ocean to sink to the bottom and die a slow painful death, or be eaten away by other fish. our shark population is dying off rapidly. they do not deserve that. reblog this and raise awareness. they do not have voices. ” - moonsweetdreaming

Roughly 80 percent of the antibiotics used in America are given not to sick people, but to healthy animals being raised for food.

Why this is dangerous

For you, dear meat-eating followers, because I care for your health. And for the health of our children! And our children’s children! Etc.

This lion was left to rue the day he ever crossed this particular zebra - after it escaped his deathly jaws and delivered a painful kick to the face for good measure. The image was captured from a safari jeep in Ngorongoro Conservation area, Tanzania, by Thomas Whetten, from Tucson, USA. He runs photographic tours in Africa, and says: “It was spectacular - even better than you see at the movies. Its very rare for a zebra to get away without being mauled at all.”

Dolphin rescued from rice field 12 days after tsunami

Japanese pet shop owner Ryo Taira rescues a young finless porpoise from a flooded rice paddy. The small cetacean was brought inland by the huge tsunami waves that inundated the area on March 11.

TOKYO — A baby dolphin has been rescued in Japan after being dumped in a rice field by a giant tsunami that hit the coast on March 11.

The dolphin was spotted in the flooded field, about a mile from the coast, said Ryo Taira, a pet-shop owner who has been rescuing animals abandoned after the 9.0 magnitude quake and tsunami left 23,000 people dead or missing.

“A man passing by said he had found the dolphin in the rice paddy and that we had to do something to save it,” the 32-year-old Taira told Reuters.

Taira found the dolphin struggling in the shallow seawater on Tuesday and after failing to net it, waded in to the field, which had yet to be sown with rice, to cradle the four foot animal in his arms.

“It was pretty weak by then, which was probably the only reason we could catch it,” he said.

Taira and some friends wrapped the dolphin in wet towels and drove it back to the sea, where they set it free. The dolphin appeared to perk up when it was back in the Pacific, he said.

“I don’t know if it will live, but it’s certainly a lot better than dying in a rice paddy,” Taira told the Asahi Shimbun newspaper. [msnbc]
