Liu Suya, boss of the zoo, said to the Beijing newspaper that their original lion had been taken to a breeding centre and Mr. Suya, concerned about safety, replaced the lion with a Tibetan Mastiff. Visitors to the zoo had never seen lions before and didn’t know that they had been fooled. They discovered when the ‘lion’ started to bark. Other species were found misnamed; they found a white fox in the leopards den and another dog passing off as a wolf.

Can you guess the fastest food ever? Well I’ll give you a hint. It’s not eggs or sausages and it’s certainly not a guilty pleasure (fast food) your child insists to eat every day.
It’s actually potatoes, pan-fried potatoes. Did you know that there are five –thousand different types of potatoes worldwide? The continents and countries with the most potatoes are in Peru, Chile, Bolivia,Columbia and Germany . Boiled potatoes, sweet potatoes, Gnocchi and mash potatoes are the most commonly eaten potatoes. Egypt has been protesting about a new president. Unfortunately, the president has been arrested. The military has taken over Egypt. Almost all the Egyptians have been hiding in Al Fateh Mosque (meaning a Muslim’s praying place), the police outside the mosque aren’t trusted anymore because they could be with the military and might shoot them sooner or later.
The military has been in helicopters and on top of roofs shooting people and lots of people have died or have been injuries but some have survived. They some were even shot in hospitals. How rude! Here’s a quote of a random person in Egypt “I have a fancy house, a fancy car, but I don’t have freedom.” A couple of years ago in Australia, man was asleep until he heard the fruit bowl in the kitchen fall on the floor. He was out of bed in a flash and ran to the kitchen! To his surprise, there on the kitchen counter was a possum! The possum jumped out of the window and was gone!
We’ve always loved the classic Finding Nemo and now at long last the directors have made Finding Dory
The previous movie was about a clownfish who loses his son. Although he had many fears nothing stood in his way. To get to Nemo, he has many stops along the way, including meeting Dory which is what the next movie is about. Finding Dory is an upcoming 2015 computer-animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and the sequel to the 2003 Pixar film Finding Nemo. Andrew Stanton, who directed the original film, will return as director.The film is scheduled to be released on November 25, 2015. It has also been confirmed that characters from the first film will appear in the next movie, including Dory, Nemo, Marlin and the Tank Gang. Finding Dory will be focused on the amnesiac character Dory, and will explore the idea of her being reunited with her family. I hope she does find her family or is her family with Marlin and Nemo? Cast Ellen DeGeneres as Dory, a Pacific regal blue tang Albert Brooks as Marlin, a clownfish, Nemo's father Diane Keaton as Jenny, Dory’s mother Eugene Levy as Charlie, Dory’s father Ty Burrell as Bailey, a beluga whale Chef Jamie Oliver won a battle against one of the largest fast food chains in the world. After Oliver showed how McDonald’s hamburgers are made, the franchise announced it will change its recipe. According to Oliver, the fatty parts of beef are “washed” in ammonium hydroxide and used in the filling of the burger. Before this process, according to the presenter, the food is deemed unfit for human consumption. Jamie Oliver campaign-makes McDonalds’ change-recipe
According to the chef and presenter, Jamie Oliver, who has undertaken a war against the fast food industry: “Basically, we’re taking a product that would be sold in the cheapest way for dogs, and after this process, is being given to human beings?” Besides the low quality of the meat, the ammonium hydroxide is harmful to health. Oliver calls it “the pink slime process.” pink-slime “Why any sensible human being would put meat filled with ammonia in the mouths of their children?” asked the chef, who wages a war against the fast food industry. In one of his initiatives, Oliver demonstrates to children how nuggets are made. After selecting the best parts of the chicken, the remains (fat, skin and internal organs) are processed for these fried foods.The company, Arcos Dorados, the franchise manager in Latin America, said such a procedure is not practiced in the region. The same applies to the product in Ireland and the UK, where they use meat from local suppliers. In the United States, Burger King and Taco Bell had already abandoned the use of ammonia in their products. The food industry uses ammonium hydroxide as an anti-microbial agent in meats, which has allowed McDonald’s to use otherwise “inedible meat. “Even more disturbing is that because ammonium hydroxide is considered part of the “component in a production procedure” by the USDA, consumers may not know when the chemical is in their food. On the official website of McDonald’s, the company claims that their meat is cheap because, while serving many people every day, they are able to buy from their suppliers at a lower price, and offer the best quality products. In addition, the franchise denied that the decision to change the recipe is related to Jamie Oliver’s campaign. On the site, McDonald’s has admitted that they have abandoned the beef filler from its burger patties. Minecraft is a really cool game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things.
It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sun rise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea. Minecraft mods are very good because you can make your minecraft more fun. The hen harrier, a bird of prey from the UK, is on the verge of extinction. Conservationists say that there are only 2 nesting pairs left in the entire world and they have failed to breed. The RSPB [Royal Society for the Protection of Birds] say it’s the first time in 50 years that the birds have failed to produce a chick
A study by government scientists imply that illegal shooting, trapping and disturbing nests was also lowering the numbers. The RSPB support a plan to bring in different food sources for the hen harriers, so they don't rely on grouse for food. Google Glass The wearable computer.

They may not be Olympic worthy, but these super hairy mammals can swim! These two chimps were filmed happily gliding through the water. Most land mammals swim doggy-paddle, but these creatures swam using breaststroke. Apes aren’t known for their swimming ability’s because there has been a case of them drowning in zoos. But in this case they can. |
