Rescued sea lion gets taste of the good life

This lounging mammal might look lazy, but she’s earned a vacation. The sea lion, named Panchita, was gravely injured when she was caught in a net. Thankfully, she escaped and found refuge at this hotel, where animal advocates have spent three months nursing her back to health.

She now swims in the sea every day before returning home to the hotel. She’ll need to be well-rested for her next endeavor: Her handlers expect her to give birth within the next few weeks.

Baby pygmy hippo may be most adorable animal ever

Baby pygmy hippo may be most adorable animal ever

Peaceful-seeming hippos are often described as the most dangerous animals in Africa, but here’s one that we’d love to bring home. This baby pygmy hippo, born on a wildlife ranch in South Africa, is only a few days old — and he’s been named for Prince Harry, who has done lots of aid work in southern Africa.

After Harry’s parents rejected him, he was adopted by handlers at the ranch and lives “like a monarch in a special suite at the sanctuary,” according to the Daily Mail.

Girl’s best friend is dog who carries her oxygen

Girl’s best friend is dog who carries her oxygen

By Linda Carroll

Two years ago Aaron and Debbie Knobloch learned that their baby daughter Alida was suffering from a rare lung disease and that she would need a portable oxygen tank to help her breathe. The good news was that the oxygen tank would make their little girl healthy. The bad news was that she’d have to be tethered to the 6-pound tank most of the time.

The Knoblochs struggled to find a way to give Alida a normal life. Aaron built a walker with a pocket for the oxygen tank so she wouldn’t always have to be tied to one of her parents. But as the little girl grew older – and more mobile – the walker wasn’t enough.

When Aaron saw a TV program about service dogs, he knew he had the answer: with a dog carrying her oxygen tank, little Alida would be free to roam and play with other kids. Enter Mr. Gibbs, a golden doodle trained to be Alida’s constant companion, ever at her side whether it’s scampering down the slide at the playground or trotting alongside as she rides her bike.
