The suited penguin ~
Have you ever seen a penguin in a swinsuit? Here is Belle, who lives in Jurong Park, Singapore. Unlike his companions, penguins of Humboldt that shed their feathers gradually by nature, Belle, unfortunately, in just one single day & inexplicably, lost all of his plumage and became, how should I describe it, bald, or naked? Worst than that, he couldn't get into the icy water or he might suffer hypothermia which could be fatal. He became very depressed. Luckily, the vets came up with a solution, a neoprene swimsuit, of synthetic rubber that's usually used in many industrial products, namely paints, rubber soles for shoes, putties, etc.

Siesta time in the kindergarten for pandas ~
In China, pandas are considered as national treasure, treated and cared for as such. These baby cuties are taking their siesta peacefully in a kindergarten in Chengdun, China, the establishment dedicated to care for this species of pandas in danger of extinction. According to the latest census, the population of pandas are estimated in some 1,600 living in captivity, and some others distributed in principal zoos of the world.
