  • EXCLUSIVE: A Great Dane who didn’t like cats has stopped a kitten going blind by donating blood used in sight-saving eye drops. Huge dog Harlie, who weighs around nine stone, put her best paw forward to give blood used to treat Zephyr the rescued kitten. Vets treated eight-week-old Zephyr with serum drops which used elements of Harlie’s blood after it has been separated using a centrifuge. The liquid part of the blood is made into drops which help the surface of the eye to heal and stop the tissue breaking down. Rescuers feared the worst for Zephyr but her sight has now been saved thanks to her huge donor friend Harlie. Steph Taylor, from charity Rescue Me Animal Sanctuary, said Zephyr was found with three siblings under a shed in Liverpool, England. She said: “They were all full of flu which had led to secondary pneumonia, horrific conjunctivitis with ulcerated eyes, ticks, severe flea infestation leading to anaemia and dehydration. “The serum from Harlie was fairly unusual for us to use and we have never done it before, there are several types of conventional medicated drops and we used these first but as Zephyr was not responding to these, our vet suggested it. “We had heard of it once before when another rescue spoke about it and they had amazing results. “We have four dogs at our HQ but sadly none were suitable blood donors due to their size, age or health problems so we had to turn to the public for help… and along came Harlie.” Harlie’s owner Jess said she wanted to help but at first she feared Harlie wasn’t used to cats and it might not be a good idea for her to meet Zephyr in person. Jess, 30, a foster carer from Liverpool, England, said meeting Zephyr was the first time her huge hound had met a feline in person. Jess, who has three other dogs, a Staffordshire bull terrier, and two shih tzu Yorkshire terriers, said she wanted to help after seeing an appeal for blood donors to produce the serum used for the eye drops.

She said: “They were all full of flu which had led to secondary pneumonia, horrific conjunctivitis with ulcerated eyes, ticks, severe flea infestation leading to anaemia and dehydration. “The serum from Harlie was fairly unusual for us to use and we have never done it before, there are several types of conventional medicated drops and we used these first but as Zephyr was not responding to these, our vet suggested it. “We had heard of it once before when another rescue spoke about it and they had amazing results. “We have four dogs at our HQ but sadly none were suitable blood donors due to their size, age or health problems so we had to turn to the public for help… and along came Harlie.” Harlie’s owner Jess said she wanted to help but at first she feared Harlie wasn’t used to cats and it might not be a good idea for her to meet Zephyr in person. Jess, 30, a foster carer from Liverpool, England, said meeting Zephyr was the first time her huge hound had met a feline in person. Jess, who has three other dogs, a Staffordshire bull terrier, and two shih tzu Yorkshire terriers, said she wanted to help after seeing an appeal for blood donors to produce the serum used for the eye drops.

  • EXCLUSIVE: A Great Dane who didn’t like cats has stopped a kitten going blind by donating blood used in sight-saving eye drops. Huge dog Harlie, who weighs around nine stone, put her best paw forward to give blood used to treat Zephyr the rescued kitten. Vets treated eight-week-old Zephyr with serum drops which used elements of Harlie’s blood after it has been separated using a centrifuge. The liquid part of the blood is made into drops which help the surface of the eye to heal and stop the tissue breaking down.

  • South Africa – Pretoria - 14 May 2020 - The Lion whisperer. Kevin Richardson who has shown interest in wild life since a young age is affectionately known as the Lion whisperer. He takes his lions for a walk during stage 4 of the lockdown. Richardson generates an income to take care of the lions from gate takings to the sanctuary and volunteers who pay to work there. Due to lockdown the sanctuary is closed and there is no income. There are 23 lions, several leopards, some hyena and buck on the sanctuary. He fears a collapse of the industry if they are to be subjected to the lockdown conditions for much longer. Picture: Timothy Bernard/African News Agency(ANA)

  • EXCLUSIVE: A rescued pair of twin bear sisters forced to perform in a circus all their lives have experienced a freedom for the first time in 24 YEARS. Dasha and Katia were just weeks old when they were taken from their mother and sold to a circus in Ukraine. Since then all the sisters have known is training and performing up to three shows a day. When not doing tricks like riding bicycles and jumping through hoops for a paying audience, the 400lb plus animals were kept in tiny 1.5m cages. They were behind bars just inches from one another but could never touch. But now after a quarter of a century in captivity the two bears can sleep under the stars for the first time in the stunning forest-filled Libearty (correct spelling) Bear Sanctuary, in Zarnesti, Romania. Heart-warming footage and photos taken this week show the animals rolling around in the grass with joy and being able to nuzzle and bear hug one another for the first time. The bears arrival in Romania was only made possible thanks to Lionel De Lange, from the Lawrence Anthony Earth Organization (LAEO) Ukraine, and Chantal Jonkergouw and Carolyn Green, from SOS Zoo and Bear Rescue. Lionel and Chantal and their supporters raised £14,000, including donations from the UK, to rescue the animals in March and then transport, medically check and care for the them before they were released on Wednesday. Lionel de Lange, from LAEO Ukraine, said the sisters, who were originally known as Masha and Lora, had proper contact with each other for the first time. He said: “This was one the most emotional rescues we’ve done, if you can imagine it’s 24 years of these bears never having proper contact with each other, they were always in separate cages. “And when they were close to each other in the cages they had aggression, not with each other but with bars between them.

  • EXCLUSIVE: A rescued pair of twin bear sisters forced to perform in a circus all their lives have experienced a freedom for the first time in 24 YEARS. Dasha and Katia were just weeks old when they were taken from their mother and sold to a circus in Ukraine. Since then all the sisters have known is training and performing up to three shows a day. When not doing tricks like riding bicycles and jumping through hoops for a paying audience, the 400lb plus animals were kept in tiny 1.5m cages. They were behind bars just inches from one another but could never touch. But now after a quarter of a century in captivity the two bears can sleep under the stars for the first time in the stunning forest-filled Libearty (correct spelling) Bear Sanctuary, in Zarnesti, Romania. Heart-warming footage and photos taken this week show the animals rolling around in the grass with joy and being able to nuzzle and bear hug one another for the first time. The bears arrival in Romania was only made possible thanks to Lionel De Lange, from the Lawrence Anthony Earth Organization (LAEO) Ukraine, and Chantal Jonkergouw and Carolyn Green, from SOS Zoo and Bear Rescue. Lionel and Chantal and their supporters raised £14,000, including donations from the UK, to rescue the animals in March and then transport, medically check and care for the them before they were released on Wednesday.

  • Gigantisch: Riesen-Hummer aus der Karibik gefischt / 2016 ***<br />
Giant lobster was caught by a fisherman in Bermuda<br />
<br />
One unsuspecting fisherman caught one heck of a lobster weighing in at 14 pounds while on a fishing trip in Bermuda.<br />
The massive crustacean was caught 'by accident' as Tristan Loescher was out fishing for snapper,<br />
<br />
Loescher reeled in the mammoth lobster while on the Sanctuary Marine Bermuda's charter boat, the station reported.<br />
<br />
'Hurricane Nicole blew in some sea monsters.'<br />
Hurricane Nicole was a powerful category 4 hurricane that ripped through Bermuda last week with winds up to 115mph.<br />
<br />
A storm surge was expected to raise water levels by six to eight feet above normal tides, and five to eight inches of rain are expected to fall over the island through Thursday evening, Fox reported.<br />
After Loescher took photos of the Giant Spiny lobster, it was released safely back into the ocean.<br />
<br />
It's unclear how old the lobster is, but marine experts say they can live to be about 70 years old<br />
<br />
The largest lobster ever caught weighed 44 pounds and was captured in 1977, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. <br />
That giant lobster was caught off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada.<br />
The average weight of most lobsters for sale are between one and three pounds. <br />
<br />
For years  the largest lobster ever caught that weighed around 20 kg in 1977 off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada.<br />

  • May 30, 2017: FILE PHOTO: The Humane Society of the United States and the New York Blood Center, Inc. announced an agreement today that should secure the long-term well-being of more than 60 chimpanzees in Liberia. The agreement, NYBC is providing $6 million in funding to The HSUS, which has agreed to assume permanent responsibility for providing lifetime care for the chimpanzees. Pictured: March 5, 2016 - Charlesville, Liberia - Old files of research chimpanzees are at the home of JENNY and JAMES DESMOND on March 5, 2016 who now manage their care at Liberian Chimpanzee Rescue, a program of HSUS, after decades of biomedical experimentation.  The Humane Society of the United States and New York Blood Center came to an agreement recently in May 2017 after years of discussion about the care of research chimps NYBC had abandoned in Liberia, West Africa when they withdrew all funding for food and water.  In March 2016, a team from HSUS visits to view the situation.  NYBC also refused to pay for their caregivers who used their own meager finances to continue feeding them. They now live on six islands serving as a sanctuary.  The HSUS stepped in to assist and improve the dire situation in which the chimpanzees were literally left to die if not for the heroic efforts of their original caregivers who had worked for NYBC and were abandoned as well.
