3 . Le Le, the giant panda that died early this month at Memphis Zoo, may have suffered from heart disease, according to an autopsy (验尸) by zoologists from China and the United States.

The experts’ original judgment was that this was the cause of the death of the 25-year-old male panda, according to a media release from the Chinese Association of Zoological Gardens on Sunday. “But that judgment still needs to be confirmed through further examinations, “ it said. The autopsy was conducted following the arrival of a Chinese team at the zoo recently. Experts from both countries studied the results from the autopsy and ruled out a number of common conditions.

Le Le died in his sleep on Feb 3 before he could be returned to China, according to the zoo.

“Over the last 20 years Le Le has delighted millions of visitors, served as an exemplary ambassador for his species and remains a shining symbol of conservation partnership with the People’s Republic of China,” the zoo said in a statement on Feb 3.

The Chinese team also examined Ya Ya, and checked her medical and monthly health reports, according to the Chinese association. Despite hair loss resulting from a skin discase, the female panda was found to have a good appetite and was maintaining a stable weight, it said, adding that no abnormalities were observed in its feces. Aside from holding a discussion with Memphis Zoo about Ya Ya’s skin condition, the group gave advice on how to feed and nurse the female giant panda.

“China and the US are now coordinating the handling of procedures so that Ya Ya can be returned to China as soon as possible, ” it noted. China has completed all necessary preparations to receive the female panda. Import and quarantine permits have been issued and the quarantine location has been determined.

7 . A task called “Operation Noah’s Ark” was carried out to cage (装笼子) and ship hundreds of birds off Pine Island in Florida after it was hit hard by Hurricane (飓风) lan.

The government called on people of Pine Island to give up their homes because of damaged roads, including a broken bridge that prevented deliveries of food, gas and other life-supporting supplies.

But Will Peratino and Lauren Stepp did not want to leave and give up their 275 parrots at the Malama Manu Sanctuary. “We would not give them up. I would never leave them. Never,” Stepp told The Associated Press. “If they cannot be fed or watered, they will die. And I can’t live with that.”

The birds had been relying on food donated by wildlife officials since Hurricane lan hit, but the supply of fruit, peanuts and other foods would soon be hard to come by because of the broken bridge and the lack of gas on the island.

Bryan Stern, the founder and leader of Project Dynamo, said his team had saved at least six dogs and three cats before Tuesday’s massive rescue (救援). “Our saved animal numbers are small compared with the number of the 100 cages of parrots that we are about to save,” Stern said, before carrying out the rescue task. “Will and Lauren own the preserve, and their hearts and souls are in the birds. So they’re going through their own suffering from the hurricane and having to rebuild their lives. They lost all kinds of things.”

The volunteers were not about to let that happen. For several hours, the volunteers used nets and their hands to put the birds into cages. “To have every bird safe is a huge task,” Peratino said. “I mean, it’s almost impossible to do. So the help we’ve gotten has been priceless.”

8 . At 22, I’d been working as a zookeeper at Perth Zoo for just over a year. I’d been working with crocodiles, but I’d always loved elephants. They were such intelligent animals. So, as soon as the job came up to care for them, I jumped at the opportunity.

The pair, Tricia and Tanya, both aged around 14, were wary (警惕的) of me at first. They even started roaring at me on the first night I locked them up in their enclosure (圈占地), and Tricia tried to pin me against a wall! But I’d spent long enough working with animals to know you should never show any weakness. “I’m not afraid of you two,” I told them in a loud voice. Over the following weeks, they started warming to me, so I introduced some games. I’d get them to run after me around the yard, screaming at the top of their lungs. I’d also hide from them in the blind spot directly behind their ears. Tricia turned out to be a real gentle giant. Soon every time I walked into the enclosure, she’d be sniffing (嗅) me all over, flapping her ears and trying to pull me close with her trunk. We’d formed a close bond.

It was hard saying goodbye when my wife and I moved to Darwin. “I’ll miss you,” I told them, rubbing their trunks. Years passed and I worked with a lot of different animals in wildlife parks. But I never forgot about Tricia and Tanya.

When I turned 72, my family decided to book a breakfast with the elephants at Perth Zoo for a family celebration. “You wouldn’t believe it, but Tricia’s still there,” my brother-in-law told me. “She’ll be celebrating her 60th birthday!” More than four decades had passed since I worked with Tricia. I wondered if she’d remember me. I was excited when we left our home in Bakers Hill, WA, for the special breakfast. My brother-in-law had told them about our history, so Tricia’s keeper, Kirsty, invited me into the enclosure. I got teary when I saw her. “Happy birthday! Do you miss me?” I asked. I was overjoyed when Tricia started flapping her ears and sniffing me all over. It felt like no time had passed.

Then Tricia started urinating (小便). “Now that’s a sure sign she remembers you,” Kirsty said, “When they urinate, they’re greeting you, so it’s pretty special to see that.”
