The Mapogo lions were a coalition of 6 males that ruled Sabi Sands in Kruger. Controlling 170,000 acres, they killed over 100 rival lions during their reign. By 2013, all had fallen-to rival coalitions, hunters, disease, or age-ending one of the most brutal legacies in lion history.

With treatment, he fully recovered, showing how zoos combine animal and human medicine for apes.

In 2017, the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation rescued the world’s first known albino orangutan, later named Alba. She was found locked inside a small cage in the Kapuas district, weak and frightened but alive. With pale white fur and striking blue eyes, Alba stood out instantly.

Taken to the Nyaru Menteng rehabilitation centre, vets confirmed her uniqueness. Alba is the only albino orangutan ever recorded in history. Her condition brought challenges — weaker vision and hearing, and she was an easy target for poachers. Yet, her story became a powerful symbol of hope for endangered wildlife.

Two years later, Alba was released. Read more... https://trendingamerican.com/worlds-first-albino-orangutan-rescued-cave/

“Umarell” is a real term used in Bologna and other parts of Italy. It comes from the local dialect and literally means “little man.” It refers, often humorously, to retired men who stand near construction sites with their hands behind their backs, watching workers and sometimes offering unsolicited advice. The term became so popular that it has been included in Italian dictionaries, and even inspired public initiatives, like city councils officially inviting umarells to keep an eye on projects.

Photos of unusually “round” Siberian tigers in Chinese wildlife parks have gone viral, drawing both laughs and concern. In winter, these tigers naturally gain fat to stay warm, but in captivity their steady, high-calorie diets and limited exercise make them even heavier. Experts warn that while their chubby look may seem cute, too much weight can cause serious health issues.

This is the funeral of Private Kevin Elliott. His best friend Barry Delaney wore a bright green dress to honor a long-time pact.

Barry kept that promise. He sat on his pink sofa that morning, drank Kevin’s favorite vodka, and pulled on a £4.99 lime-green Primark dress with 99p pink socks before walking into a crowd of over 1,000 mourners.

What no one knew then was that just weeks earlier, Kevin had confessed he was terrified of returning to Afghanistan. He even wrote a letter days before his death, trying to stay cheerful but admitting he feared he wouldn’t make it home. 👉 Here's the story behind the pact they made... https://trendingamerican.com/man-wore-green-dress-best-friends-funeral-keeping-promise/

Scientists have discovered something heartwarming about our furry best friends – dogs really do dream about us. 🐶💤
Research into canine sleep shows their brain activity is very similar to humans when they enter deep sleep, which means they experience dreams too.

Experts believe that, just like people, dogs dream about the things that matter most to them. Since playtime and bonding with their owners are central parts of their lives, it’s very likely many of their dreams involve running, playing, and simply being with the people they love.

This is how you know when your dog is reliving a happy moment with you in its dreams. Read more... https://trendingamerican.com/scientists-discover-that-dogs-actually-dream-of-playing-with-their-owners/

On this day in history (September 1, 1914), an entire species vanished from Earth forever.
Her name was Martha, and she was the last known Passenger Pigeon in the world. She died of old age, alone in her enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo.

It’s hard to imagine now, but the Passenger Pigeon was once believed to be the most numerous bird in North America, with a population of 3 to 5 billion. 🕊️
Naturalists described migrations so massive they blocked out the sun for hours—sometimes even days.

So what happened? (See her carefully preserved body here)... https://trendingamerican.com/on-this-day-in-history-last-passenger-pigeon-died-extinction-usa/
