An overweight adult hedgehog was brought to the Israeli wildlife hospital in the Ramat Gan Safari Zoo when he could barely move. After receiving a full checkup, the medical team determined there was nothing wrong with the animal's legs; he was just too overweight to walk, weighting 1.6 kilos. The hedgehog, named Sherman, was put on a strict weight watchers diet with a personal exercise regimen. In just two months, he has lost over 120 grams, and medical specialists are hopeful that he will be released back into the wild by this summer. Israeli Zookeeper, Becka Rifkin, discusses Sherman's phenomenon, which has become familiar over the past few months, due to the mammals' access to meals left for street cats in residential neighborhoods.

Israeli researchers have discovered that chicken f***s can be used to generate energy, potentially replacing 10% of coal used in power stations. Professor Amit Gross from the Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research at Israel's Ben-Gurion University says that the fuel from chicken waste has a similar make-up to coal and burns in the same way. He discovered that hydrothermal carbonization, the process of heating wet poultry litter to a low temperature under pressure, results in lower emissions of methane gas and ammonia and increased emissions of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. This fuel could potentially replace 10% of coal used in electricity generation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing an alternative energy source.
