When hurricane Hannah separated two white tigers from their mother, Anjana came to the Rescue. Anjana, a chimp at TIGERS in South Carolina, became surrogate mom and playmate to the cubs, even helping with bottle feeding, according to The Sun. But here's the truly amazing part: This is something Anjana does all the time, having helped raised leopard and lion cubs on several occasions.
A monkey is coming home after 65 years in space in the latest campaign from World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Australia titled "Space Monkey".
Details: The nationwide campaign will air in cinemas, TV, and online - www.themonkeyreturns.com - to depict a sweet yet heart-breaking story.
Creative agency Leo Burnett Sydney created a mini-film about a monkey returning to earth in 2026 after being sent into outer space as part of the US space exploration program in the 1960s.
The monkey, which is grey and old now, continues to hang on to a photo of its human-friend through the years. After traveling across different galaxies and solar systems, the monkey is eagerly anticipating his return to Earth. However, home is not what it used to be.
The project marks a new brand focus for WWF on sustainability. The creative team at Leo Burnett, Michael Canning and Kieran Antill, explains that with Space Monkey, the aim is to try and change the way people think about the environment and re-define the issue in a way that struck an emotional chord with people.
"It's so important that we engage young people in as many ways as possible on the environmental issues we face today. They are the future. I'm hopeful that this monkey's return from space will peak their interest, and remind them that we only have one home," said Jay Benjamin, executive creative director at Leo Burnett.
The music is done by renowned Australian musician Ben Lee, who also collaborated with Leo Burnett in 2009 for Earth Hour 'Vote Earth'.

Amazing pictures from the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland
Major volcanic eruptions have started at Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland. The 5,500-foot volcano started erupting 20 March 2010. A later eruption from 14 April 2010 has disrupted air travel in Europe.
Huge, high altitude plume of volcanic ash have forced many airports to close down, thus spreading panic and fear among passengers.
The World Health Organization has also warned of potential health risks if a person is exposed to volcanic ashes for a long time.
Clouds forming from the pyroclastic eruption are clearly visible. These clouds are initially made up of mostly dust particles less than 1/100 inch in diameter as well as ash fragments less than 1/5 inch in diameter. These dust particles may be carried great distances. In a powerful eruption they may be carried around the earth several times. Most volcanic ash however falls to the surface and are cemented together by water to form a rock called volcanic tuff.
