  • South Africa's most loved lion Sylvester who twice cheated execution after escaping from a game park has become the proud father to these adorable cubs. Sylvester made world headlines in 2015 when he was chased out of the Karoo National Park by older lions and during three weeks on the run killed 28 sheep, a cow and a kudu. Rangers dubbed him The Ghost as he kept eluding them as he trekked his way 180 miles away from the park leaving a trail of dead animals he had been feeding on behind him. The public begged for him to be spared and when he was found asleep a decision was taken to give him a chance and he was darted rather than being shot in the $60,000 hunt. Thousand of people from around the world added their voice to appeals to spare him from being euthanised. He was airlifted back to the Karoo National Park but when he escaped again in 2016 the fugitive was dubbed a “problem lion” and rangers said they feared it would have to be the bullet. But again the public came to Sylvester’s rescue and thanks to a tracking collar that had been fitted after his first escape he was found after three days having eaten just the one cow. Sylvester was spared a second time when a vet darted him from a helicopter and taken back to the Karoo National Park where a life or death debate raged over the much loved lion. In the end Sylvester got a stay of execution and was moved to Kuzuko Lodge which is a contractual area of the massive Addo Elephant National Park in a bid to rehabilitate him. He was introduced to another male and two lionesses in the hope he would become a dominant male. And now the team at Kuzuko Lodge in Addo, a member of Legacy Hotels & Resorts who care for Sylvester, revealed that the publics’ faith in the the Houdini-like lion had been justified. Lionesses are fiercely protective of their cubs when they are first born and it was 12 weeks before their suspicions were confirmed that Sylvester and his lioness Angel had indeed mated.

  • A world record breaking elephant sculpture stopped people in their tracks on a suburban street as passers-by stopped for a closer look. The almost four-metre-tall beast — mounted outside a printing company in Birmingham, UK — is destined to set a new record as the biggest animal sculpture created by a 3D printing machine. The technological marvel is perfectly life like, though larger than most elephants in the wild and as a permanent sculpture, is set to become a new landmark for the UK’s second. largest city. The animal is mounted high on the wall of creative print company, Andesign, and is shown smashing through the building's brickwork out onto the street. Unveiled by Sutton Coldfield MP Andrew Mitchell, a crowd of 100 gathered to see the spectacular pachyderm revealed to the public for the first time. Mr Mitchell said of the sculpture: ‘This is a properly astonishing spectacle and a measure of the great ingenuity that typifies British industry and the very clever creative people who work here. Isn't it incredible what has been achieved with a print machine ? ‘In fact, it's so lifelike that my dog is completely terrified to come out of the car or anywhere near the thing.’ The African elephant was created by the world's biggest and fastest 3D printing machine, which can duplicate absolutely any object imaginable in the tiniest detail by printing line upon line of a special resin. The as yet unnamed elephant was created over five days of continuous printing and is the biggest animal ever created by a printing machine. Delighted bosses at Andesign await confirmation from the Guinness Book of Records but are refusing to rest on their laurels with even bigger and better projects now lined up. ‘The elephant has been a tremendous experience and incredible hard work,’ said Andesign MD Garry Hassell. ‘But the sky is the limit for us now and we'll keep looking to create more and more incredible things. ‘You never know, we even might try to print a blue

  • August 3, 2017 - New York City, New York, United States of America - During a public “Ivory Crush” organized by the Department of Environmental Commission (DEC), the Wildlife Conservation Society, Tiffany & Co., and environmental groups, such as 96 Elephants (the estimated number of elephants slaughtered daily), some two tons of confiscated Ivory, with a value of $8.5 million USD was crushed in NYC’s Central Park.  In 2014, New York State passed a law making the trade of Ivory items a class D felony, except in certain cases with state approval.  Despite this, New York City is the nation's largest port of entry for illegal wildlife goods, according to state officials..Investigative Lieutenant Jesse Paluch of the NYS DEC Department of Environmental Crimes Investigations adds that what was crushed today “was the culmination of three years of investigations and the execution of 12 search warrants”.  He further adds “we want to show that the ivory on the animal is priceless, but worthless in this form as a consumer good”.  Mary Dixon of WCS says “we would like to send a message to poachers and anyone involved in the illegal ivory trade that we will no longer tolerate this”.  WCS works in 60 countries worldwide and works to stop animal trafficking.  Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac was among the guests in attendance. (Credit Image: © Sachelle Babbar via ZUMA Wire)

  • June 12, 2017 - inconnu - Elephants in the firing line of ivory poachers are to be fitted with sensors which detect gunshots and alert authorities.The new system is the first use of shockwave detection technology in an intensified push to thwart illegal trafficking and save endangered African elephants.Dubbed WIPER,, the project is a joint effort between two US institutions, Vanderbilt University computer engineering faculty in Tennessee and Colorado State University.It is built into GPS tracking collars which have been used for years to study and protect elephants.Elephant poachers routinely use devices to muzzle the sound from their high-powered weapons, but the blast also produces an acoustic shockwave, which cannot be suppressed. WIPER technology detects that a bullet flew by a protected elephant and sends an alarm with its location.Vanderbilt University Professor of Computer Engineering Akos Ledeczi teamed up with Colorado State University’s George Wittemyer who is also chairman of the scientific board of Save the Elephants.The Kenya-based organization has collared more than 1,000 elephants.The slaughter of elephants and other iconic African animals is fueled by rising demand for ivory in parts of the Far East. As demand increases, prices skyrocket and make illegal trafficking a lucrative, if risky, option.Save the Elephants estimates that 100,000 elephants were killed for their tusks between 2010 and 2012 alone as poaching efforts migrated from the Central African forests to East Africa.Ledeczi’s expertise is in acoustic shooter detection, localization and classification. He and his team have received major grants from US military research facility DARPA and built multiple wireless sensor nodes to detect and locate the source of gunfire.WIPER got a significant boost June 7 with announcement of a $200,000 USD grant from the Vodaphone Americas Foundation. The technology placed second out of eight finalists in Vodafone’s annual Wireless Innov

  • In a land as parched as Kenya's Tsavo West National Park, no visitor arrives with more fanfare than the water man...That would be Patrick Kilonzo Mwalua. And when he rumbles down the dusty road bearing some 3,000 gallons of fresh water, the elephants, buffalo, antelope and zebras come running...They've come to know the water man by the rumble of his engine. And his lifesaving cargo. ''There is completely no water, so the animals are depending on humans,'' Mwalua said,. ''If we don't help them, they will die.'' Mwalua fills the bone-dry watering holes in the region, driving for hours on end every day to haul water to where it's most desperately needed...The holes themselves, lined with concrete, often need cleaning — Mwalua blames it on buffalo droppings — and sometimes, he will just hose down an area of cracked earth for the grateful animals...''The buffalo roll in the mud so they suffocate the fleas and ticks,'' he says. Many animals don't even wait that long, fearlessly crowding the truck as Mwalua cranks the tap...''Last night, I found 500 buffalo waiting at the water hole,'' he says. ''When I arrived they could smell the water. The buffalo were so keen and coming close to us...''They started drinking water while I was standing there. They get so excited.'' Mwalua, who is a pea farmer in his local village, came up with the idea after seeing firsthand the grim toll climate change has taken in his native land. In the last year especially, he says, the area has seen precious little precipitation, leaving animals to die of thirst in these cracked lands...''We aren't really receiving rain the way we used to,'' he says.

  • In a land as parched as Kenya's Tsavo West National Park, no visitor arrives with more fanfare than the water man...That would be Patrick Kilonzo Mwalua. And when he rumbles down the dusty road bearing some 3,000 gallons of fresh water, the elephants, buffalo, antelope and zebras come running...They've come to know the water man by the rumble of his engine. And his lifesaving cargo. ''There is completely no water, so the animals are depending on humans,'' Mwalua said,. ''If we don't help them, they will die.'' Mwalua fills the bone-dry watering holes in the region, driving for hours on end every day to haul water to where it's most desperately needed...The holes themselves, lined with concrete, often need cleaning — Mwalua blames it on buffalo droppings — and sometimes, he will just hose down an area of cracked earth for the grateful animals...''The buffalo roll in the mud so they suffocate the fleas and ticks,'' he says. Many animals don't even wait that long, fearlessly crowding the truck as Mwalua cranks the tap...''Last night, I found 500 buffalo waiting at the water hole,'' he says. ''When I arrived they could smell the water. The buffalo were so keen and coming close to us...''They started drinking water while I was standing there. They get so excited.'' Mwalua, who is a pea farmer in his local village, came up with the idea after seeing firsthand the grim toll climate change has taken in his native land. In the last year especially, he says, the area has seen precious little precipitation, leaving animals to die of thirst in these cracked lands...''We aren't really receiving rain the way we used to,'' he says. ''From last year, from June, there was no rain completely. So I started giving animals water because I thought, 'If I don't do that, they will die.'''
