Martha Stewart ain't the only gal who likes to get her DIY on. Wildlife documentarian Sir David Attenborough introduces us to this "old lady" orangutan in the BBC Earth documentary "Life of Mammals". The Borneo primate, who was rescued from captivity and returned to the wild, has been bit by the home improvement bug, proudly demonstrating her penchant for wood, nails, and hammers. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, but if it is indeed broke, then we just found ourselves the cutest handyprimate this side of...well, Borneo. ...

From Sweden to Korea, strangers have been reaching out to congratulate him. Still, some people have had a hard time believing the story, convinced it was some sort of set up. Well skeptics, believe it! Speaking to Paw Nation by phone from his home in Melbourne, 20 year-old Raden laughed good-naturedly when we quizzed him about the incident.

Ten years ago, an elephant working in an illegal Thai logging camp near the Burmese/Myanmar border stepped on one of the many landmines still buried in the area. As a result, she had to have her left front foot amputated. The surgery required a world record-setting amount of anesthetic drugs -- enough for 70 grown men. According to JodysJungle.com, the resulting wounds took so long to heal that the initial prosthetic leg planned for Motala wasn't able to be used. On August 15, the 48-year-old, three-ton elephant (who is a resident of the world's only elephant hospital set up by ...

Fareeda was born at the Cango Wildlife Ranch in South Africa last Christmas. Part of a litter of three white tigers, Fareeda's lack of stripes wasn't something the keepers at the Cango Wildlife Ranch had counted on. Noticing that only two of the three newborn cubs bore the signature stripes, the keepers were delighted, though cautiously optimistic.

"This new one-dog law stinks." Photo: China Photos/Getty Images Gasp! What would you do if your town suddenly passed a law restricting dog ownership to one pooch per household? And -- here's the kicker -- forced those with multiple dogs to get rid of them all, except one? Beginning July 1, residents of Guangzhou, a southern city in China, will be allowed to have only one dog per household. The law doesn't have a "grandfather clause" allowing people who already own two or more dogs to keep their current number of dogs. "It's a cruel regulation," says a resident named Mrs. Chen, who must choose between "her scruffy terrier mutt and a white fluffy Pekingese mix with buggy eyes," reports ...
