Saw an interesting video in Dailymotion related to the intelligence and creative skills of Parrots(kea) and Crows (New Caledonian). I was amazed to find that the birds behave very smart when trying to get food from a closed box. They seem to exhibit high level of intelligence. Will there be a "Rise of the Planet of the Birds" in the near future ?

China zoo tigers turn on each other in hunger
BEIJING - Tigers in a north China zoo that was too poor to properly feed them turned on each other, killing and eating one, zoo authorities said on Monday.
The same zoo was shut down briefly last year due to a shortage of funds and lack of visitors, earlier media reports said.
"We only receive 1,000 yuan ($135) per month in government subsidies and the park is only able to generate another 1,000 yuan each month from the sale of tickets, which is the main source of income," the official said.
In the incident, which happened on Sunday, four tigers got into a fight, killing one and devouring its innards.
Last year, a zoo in the northwestern region of Xinjiang that was home to an endangered Siberian tiger faced with a similar financial crisis when the zoo's ticket revenues fell short of operating costs.

Who says blonds are dumb
Just realised that they are wonderful human beings
Japanese police have issued an arrest warrant for Hayden Panettiere over her campaign to save dolphins from being slaughtered.
"I learned that they have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan," the 'Heroes' star told E! News. According to UsMagazine.com, the warrant is for obstruction of commerce
The young actress and a group of activists from the anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd tried to rescue a pod of dolphins in Japan on Oct. 30, in protest of the annual hunting of the animals by local fisherman.
However, they were unsuccessful. After paddling out to sea on surfboards, the group was blocked by a boat and couldn't reach the doomed creatures.
"It was really frightening. But in the end, all we really worried about was the dolphins," Panettiere said about the incident.
When asked what the warrant could mean for her, she quipped, "Potentially jail, but i doubt it."
Panettiere laid bare her emotions following the Oct. 30 incident, with the actress shedding tears as she told reporters about what she has seen in the water.
"This baby stuck its head out and kind of looked as us, and the thought that the baby is no longer with us is very difficult," she said.
On her reasons for supporting the cause, she said in a statement after the protest, "The dolphins and whales in our ocean are a part of a larger eco-system that prevents the killing off of other marine life. By destroying these animals and not allowing our future generations to enjoy their beauty, we are causing our own selves damage. I always felt the need to speak on behalf of these helpless creatures who can not defend themselves."

Car burglar flees police, nabbed by gator instead
Hindsight being what it is, an unidentified thief (allegedly) burglarizing cars behind the Miccosukee Resort in Dade County, Florida might have picked a different hunting ground had he known that he'd become the hunted. And we mean that in the most literal sense. You see, witnesses called the cops on the burglar while he was breaking into cars, and the boys in blue arrived on the scene and gave chase. Hoping to elude the fuzz, the suspect dove into a pond behind the resort and casino where he was greeted by a 9-foot alligator unfamiliar with the concept of Miranda rights. Unfortunately for the suspected burglar, the gator was of the aggressive and unpleasant variety, and thus, a law-breaking career came to a grisly and unexpected end. He'd have been a lot better off spending the night in the clink instead of heading into the drink. Unfortunately for the gator vigilante, Florida fish & wildlife reps saw to it that he followed his erstwhile prey into the afterlife.
