I was deeply saddened to learn about the passing yesterday of Conservationist Dame Jane Goodall. She was a truly great soul, and the world dims a little in her absence. We were blessed to have her grace the cover of OMTimes in 2016.

Jack the Baboon worked as a railway signalman in the 1880s for money and beer. Jack was the pet and assistant of James Wide, a double-leg amputee who worked as a signalman for the Cape Town–Port Elizabeth railway service. James “Jumper” Wide was known for jumping between railcars until an accident caused him to fall and lose both legs. To help with his duties, Wide bought a chacma baboon in 1881 and trained him to push his wheelchair and operate railway signals under supervision. Jack was initially in charge of the keys to the coal yard and tended the station garden until Wide discovered the baboon’s skill at operating signals. Jack learned each lever by name and could push them into position when a train approached Uitenhage station. Wide would raise one or two fingers (as a signal to the animal), and Jack would then pull the correct lever. Eventually, Jack no longer needed instructions from his master and truly knew which lever to operate for each approaching train. Though the baboon was always under James Wide’s watchful eye, Jack never made a mistake or had to be reminded twice.

A Reminder Florida - baby Squirrels running after you and clinging to the leg of your pants are not rabid ! They are doing this out of sheer desperation because they have lost their mom and have been lacking care for days. Young Squirrels are an exception in the animal kingdom - when they have lost contact with their mom and suffer hunger and thirst, they gather all their courage and purposefully seek help from humans. Most of these animals are also injured by a fall from a tree. Help them. Please never hurt them. 🌰🐿🥜❤️

In the summer of 1923, Frank and Elizabeth Fraser and their two-year-old dog set out from Oregon, Indiana to visit family. When they stopped for gas at an Indiana gas station, the dog was attacked by three other dogs and ran away. They searched everywhere for him, but ultimately couldn't find him. They returned to Oregon heartbroken, thinking they would never see their beloved dog again. After losing all hope, one day their daughter saw a thin, tired dog on the road that looked just like Bobby. After her happy reaction, he turned out to be the lost dog. Thanks to the people who cared for him during the trip, they were able to trace the entire route he traveled. To see his family again, he traveled almost 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) in six months. He walked through the Rocky Mountains in the dead of winter and ended up being nicknamed "Bobby the Wonder Dog." He was the inspiration for the movie "Lassie Returns."

The waves were given the intrinsic right to existence, regeneration, and restoration, meaning that they should continue to form naturally and that their water should be kept clean.

By law, the city is now required to protect the river's physical shape, ecological cycles, and the chemical composition of the water.

A Brazilian city has granted legal personhood to a part of the ocean, marking the first known case of its kind. In early August 2024, the coastal municipality of Linhares passed a new law that recognized the waves at the mouth of the Doce River, which leads to Brazil’s Atlantic coast, as living be...

The hospital room was quiet, filled with the hum of machines, but everything changed when the door opened, and the dog walked in. His tail wagged softly as he padded over to the bedside, sensing his owner's discomfort. He gently rested his head on the bed, his warm eyes full of love and concern. The tension in the room eased as his presence brought a sense of calm. His owner smiled for the first time in days, comforted by the loyal companion who had come to offer solace. The dog didn’t need to say a word—just being there was enough to ease the pain, his loyalty and love shining through in every moment.

THE Owner of a store gives away food to abandoned street dogs. They know and arrive early at the store when the man opens the doors. They are hungry, but they wait patiently for their food. GOD BLESS SUCH GOOD HEARTED PEOPLE..!!
