The three giraffes

Once upon a time there were, somewhere  in Africa,  three giraffes named Jeena, Tabea and Makuca. They were very friendly and spent all day playing together and having fun.One day, the three giraffes went to the river to drink and rest for a little. Makuca, on their way to the rriver had a thorn entered in the paw and fell behind! She shouted her friends  to continue the march because she would follow them later on.
On the river, however, a nasty surprise was waiting for the unsuspecting giraffes. A Portuguese, named Captain  José wanted to catch them to perform in circuses. He, without realizing that Makuca had  remained behind,  took Jeena and Tabea and brought them into Europe. Makuca, after having removed off  the plug from her pawn, came to the river just in time to see her friends who were taken away by Captain Jose's  van. Jeena and Tabea greeted her crying, advising her to go back. Makuca   felt very sad without her friends. The winters were always colder in the bush and to get food was increasingly difficult. One day, Makuka, seeing Capitan Jose searching for other animals to perform  for circuses, asked him to take her to Europe, 'cause she was so longing to see her friends again. Capitain Josè, even though he  saw the unhappy giraffe emaciated and sad,   decided to take her to Europe. Makuca recognized the truck where she had seen  her friends and  had her  heart full of hope  to revise them. Meanwhile, thanks to the care and the food they gave her, Makuca recovered and became a giraffe admired by all children and adults who went to visit the animals in the circus. Wandering the circus was able to discover that Jeena and Tabea were in the circus Saturn. Then Makuka asked Captain Jose to join her friends and when she had  found them, told them her adventures and how her life had become hard in the bush. Then the three giraffes decided to accept their life in the circus and they lived happy and sactisfied for many years more.

Whom does Coco belong to?

 Coco is a beautiful and very clever african grey parrot who can sing "O sole mio" as well as did the great Italian singer Luciano Pavarotti.
He was taught to sing several Italian songs and many English words by his former Italian owner Angelo Ferlazzo; but when his first marriage split off he went back to Italy leaving his parrot on custody to his former wife who gave the witt parrot to the Pet Corner in Harlow.
-" We bought the parrot in good faith so many years ago"- declared the Chairman of the Pet Corner to the Judge" and  the property is undoubtly ours. Furthermore it would be a great stress for Coco to leave a friendly place where he has become a really star and the best attraction for the kids and for their parents!"
But Mr Ferlazzo does not to chenge his mind: hearing his friend Coco singing after so many years moved on him a great emotion and now he needs strongly to rejoyce with him.
But for the present time the singing parrot stays at the Centre.
Who knows what would be the next Mr Ferrazzo's move?

I do my homework too

It's very fascinating and heartbreaking Jeremy's Keeling's story, first abandoned by his mother, and ready to fill the solitude of a young orang-utan also discharged by her mother.

Read the whole story on DM on line by JEREMY KEELING himself

Scarred by his traumatic childhood, Jeremy Keeling found solace working with exotic animals. Now, in his enchanting and touching book, he reveals how he became a ‘mother’ to an abandoned baby orang-utan called Amy - and how she healed his broken heart...

The car climbed the steep bank at high speed and then rolled – nose to tail – back on to the motorway hard shoulder, the impact ripping the roof and shattering windows. Everything went black. I suffered head injuries, as did Amy, the one-year-old orang-utan I had rescued after her mother abandoned her.

Luckily, my girlfriend Meryl was unscathed and my son Jamie escaped with bruising. A policeman, arriving at the scene, crawled into the mangled wreck from the rear and saw the back of my blood-soaked head. He noticed a large, hairy hand reach out and wrap itself around my head, cradling it. I had once saved Amy. And now she would not let me go.

The piglet shielded from muck in miserable weather


Clive the teacup piglet might have been happier without the wellies, since his kind are partial to puddles.


This little piggy made sure to protect himself from the wet weather in some red wellies

Thunderstorms rumbled above East Anglia and the East Midlands, with more than an inch of rain falling in Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Devon in less than an hour. Lighter rain is set to linger over Britain until the weekend.
Blue tit

Torrential rain left this blue tit bedraggled as its non stop search for food for its babies can't stop just because of the weather

Temperatures will remain average, with highs of 72f (22c) and lows of 50f (10c).

Clive, also known as a micro pig, was dressed up by his breeders at Pennywell Farm, Devon. They said it was all part of the play process for the little animals.
