here’s Leeloo. she still doesn’t want to crawl right up onto me yet from her cage, but I’ve only had her for 4 days now, so I guess I’m just going to have to work on it. I think she definitely has the potential though because she really doesn’t get too upset when I pick her up. I really hope she becomes friendly!!

Breeding in captivity of the first ones
Dragons of Komodo in Europe in Reptilandia Park.
In the Center of Investigations Herpetológicas Reptilandia, our naturalist Jim Pether has achieved enormous success world-wide, managing to breed 17 dragons, for the first time in Europe. Spain and the Canary Islands, with its ideal climate, are now a great hope for perpetuating the species. For the conservation and perpetuation of this species, breeding in captivity is fundamental. Of 32 eggs, 17 were fertile, only in two more occasions the reproduction has been achieved in captivity, the United States and Indonesia, now, Spain and the Canary Isles have obtained it.

Show transcript;

LAURA: A Royal Pain, A Zorse, and a Looove Motel for Dogs …
all True, all today, on Zootoo News.

BETH: Here, when we have a story about adoption, it doesn’t involve Angelina Jolie.

LAURA: Hi, I’m Laura Valpey

BETH: And I’m Beth Hoyt. First up today:

Story 1:
BETH: In London, Mark McGowan ate a dog as a way to protest the royal family’s alleged link to animal cruelty.

The royal family responded by saying, “Fine, we’ll let Camilla out of her cage.”

Story 2:
BETH: A half-horse/half-zebra hybrid has been born, and they’re calling it a Zorse.

Cross breeding animals to create hybrids is gaining in popularity. This hybrid’s fuel efficiency has even attracted the attention of Al Gore.
Also, it has such great horsepower.

Story 3:
LAURA: Barbara Witte, a reptile breeder, was surprised with birth of her two-headed bearded dragon. Experts say usually one head will establish dominance, and the other one won’t eat, just like the Olson twins.

Story 4:
LAURA: In Cologne, a dog survived a jump out of a six-story window, landing on a third floor balcony.
His owners have no idea why he took the jump, but continue to feed him Red Bull.

Story 5:
BETH: In Johannesburg, South Africa, after 7 hours in the bitter cold, a dog was found hanging upside down from a fence by his testicles.
After years of being pissed on, the fence finally had the dog by the balls.
The owners took down the dangerous fence, and it was immediately purchased by Bob Barker.

Story 6:
BETH: While locals say it is simply a money-making scam, A Brazilian woman claims her cat gave birth to the puppies it was found nursing, making them puppy cats? Kitty Dogs?
A mix of two animals? That is crazy!

And who would be desperate enough to use newborns as a way to get money?

Story 7
LAURA: BREAKING NEWS!!! On a family road trip in 1983, Presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney, placed his family dog into a kennel strapped to the top of his station wagon. The dog expressed his discomfort with an attack of diarrhea.

And if we learned anything in 1983, it’s that on family road trips, shit happens.

Story 8:
LAURA: Robson Marinho claims he has opened the first Love Motel for Dogs in the world, complete with ceiling mirrors, romantic music and satin sheets.

The cost of doggie love room for two hours, $41. Not having to call her in the morning: Priceless.

BETH: Thank you for watching Zootoo News. See you next time.

LAURA: Why’d they call that thing a zorse? … why not a hor-bra?

BETH: Cause that’s a whore bra.

BETH: I don’t get the Red Bull joke. He jumped out of the window because he was hyper?

LAURA: No! Red Bull gives you wings!

Hi! Episode 6 takes a look at some little ones exploring their new world and then, some high drama with the anoles.:)
Enjoy

The anole will generally let go and attempt to flee if left alone, though will continue to maintain its grip with its jaws as long as a perceived attack such as trying to pull the animal off continues.
