London Zoo Names Three Asiatic Lion Cubs
Three adorable Asiatic lion cubs born in March to parents Arya and Bhanu at London Zoo have been named just in time for Father’s Day.The mames for the 13-week old cubs – Mali (male), Syanii (male) and Shanti (female) – were carefully selected from submissions sent in by schoolchildren across the UK, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) said in a press statement.“The feisty trio grow from strength to strength, each developing distinct personalities,” the charity said, adding that the cubs have recently been delighting visitors by practicing their roars, currently a loud mewing sound.Footage released by the ZSL shows the fuzzy cubs frolicking in their sunny enclosure, with their mother, Arya.“The addition of these three lion cubs to Bhanu and Arya’s family is hugely exciting for all of us at the zoo and a great conservation achievement,” lion keeper Martin O’Sullivan said.“Asiatic lions are an endangered species in the wild, with population numbers thought to be around 600-700, so three new lion cubs are a critical step toward building a strong reserve population to protect the species."

White buffalo — also known as bison — are held sacred by many Native Americans who greeted news of the birth of one in Yellowstone as an auspicious sign.

Illinois is hit with cicada chaos. This is what it's like to see, hear and feel billions of bugs
Crawling cicada nymphs, striving to get higher after 17 years underground, marched en masse toward and up trees, pausing to shed their skin and emerge as adults. Trillions of once-hidden baby bugs are in the air, on the trees and perching upon people's shirts, hats and even faces. “What you saw was biblical,” said biologist Gene Kritsky, who has been chasing periodical cicadas for 50 years, yet was still amazed by the 3 to 5 million cicadas crowding a small patch of Ryerson Conservation Area north of Chicago.
