"A rare white lion cub's friendship with a dog might be the cutest thing to ever happen at a zoo. At Darling Downs Zoo in Pilton, Queensland, Kwanza, a white lion, and Honey, the zoo dog, have become "best friends," according to staff. Their bond began when Kwanza's mother stopped producing milk, causing caretakers to hang around the cub more often -- with Honey in tow. Now, Kwanza and Honey have taken to exploring, wrestling and playing together."

The European populations became established during the mid to late 20th century from introduced and escaped birds. There are two main population centres in Britain: the largest is based around south London, where they can be regularly seen in places such as Battersea Park, Richmond Park, and Greenwich Park; the smaller population can be seen in Surrey and Berkshire, and by 2005 consisted of many thousands of birds, known as the Kingston parakeets. The winter of 2006 saw three separate roosts of circa 6000 birds around London

A smaller population occurs around Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate, Kent. Elsewhere in Britain, smaller feral populations have become established from time to time (e.g., at Studland, Dorset, Kensington Gardens, and South Manchester). It has been suggested that feral parrots could endanger populations of native British birds, and that the Rose-ringed Parakeet could even be culled as a...

We had them in my hometime. Millions, I think. They had their main residence in the park in the center, but also invaded the sunflower fields in the outer areas. Big entertainment. Sometimes I miss them. In Vienna it's all crows, completely different.

I miss living in a place *without* feral parrots.

It's really more the noise. The ones here are super-noisy at dawn and dusk and sometimes in between. It's also just the disjarring feeling of an interloper - when I grew up here there weren't flocks of parrots. So it's just another big change that makes me feel I can never really go home again. I have never caught parrots going at my fruit. They love the camphor trees around here. I imagine there must be fruit trees they go after but I haven't had any trouble yet.

"National Geographic photographer Mike Theiss has always wanted to see the northern lights. So when an assignment took him to Whitehorse, in Canada's Yukon Territory, he rented a carand drove more than 550 miles (885 kilometers) north to the Arctic Circle."

"I was yelling and screaming when it happened," he said. "All of the sudden, a stripe of color shoots up off the horizon, and goes all the way over my head, from one side to another. There was no way to capture it all," he said. [See Theiss's aurora photos.] "What happens is, it does dance; the lights twist and come rolling at you. I swear to God it looks so low that you can touch it," Theiss said."
