Twin rare white lion cubs from Mogo Zoo on the New South Wales South Coast run around at Lavender Green, Luna Park, Sydney. Mogo Zoo's breeding of two litters of white lion cubs in the space of just three months brings their pride of white lions to 7. The 8-week old twins are white in color due to a recessive gene called 'the chinchilla mutation' and have been extinct in the wild for over 12 years.
A smuggled orangutan sits caged in Halim Perdanakusumah Airport, Jakarta, Indonesia. Forty six smuggled orangutan from a Thai amusement park are to eventually to fly home to their native Indonesia. The trafficked animals, many of them forced to stage mock kick-boxing bouts were confiscated from Bangkok's Safari World theme park several years ago. DNA tests prove they had come from the island of Borneo in Indonesia. After their short transit in Jakarta, they will fly to Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Reintroduction Center in Central Kalimantan, Borneo.
Winner Pat Bertoletti of Chicago (left) tries to stuff as much turkey as he can in his pathetic gob while current champion Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas (right) of Virginia has trouble swallowing her lot as they compete in the 'Thanksgiving Invitational Turkey-Eating Championship' at Artie's Delicatessen, New York. Bertoletti won by devouring 2.177 kg of turkey in 12 minutes - the "The Black Widow" failed to measure up this time.

Hi Sheila,
Love those cute lil lion cubs. You seem to know more about what's going on in NSW than I do!
What a sad picture of the orangutan. Just goes to show how humans have fucked things up once again. Thankfully, in this case some help is at hand
As for that last pic - you're right about UGLY. Puts me off my lunch. Ew!
Hi Sheila,
I agree with Nash; the twin white lion cubs are adorable. It’s tremendous that their numbers are growing once again; let’s hope it continues to escalate.
Thank heavens the orangutans were rescued and are being returned to Borneo where they belong. I hope that those responsible for taking them will be severely punished.
I’ve never heard of a “turkey eating championship”. What a shame that the food these gluttons were cramming into their mouths wasn’t distributed to the homeless who would’ve appreciated a nice Thanksgiving meal. I hope all the competitors had stomach aches and a bit of Aztec revenge.
That turkey eating contest sorta looked like what happened at my house last night.
Hi Shelia!
Those white lion cubs are awesome! I wonder if there are white lions in capitvity that they can borrow so that they can add to the gene pool?
Have a great week and those little ones extra hugs for me, okay? =0)
Hi Nash, I do try to keep my finger on the pulse.
I hope that they had stomach aches as well Miss Litzi - the turkeys biting back!
Mad, you sure know how to impress.
Thanks Rain! All the best.
I'm ready to vomit just looking at that girl trying to keep down her food! Yuck!
