Lions, tigers and bears — Oh my, they're 'brothers' Locust Grove - A new email about an old story is making its rounds through cyberspace, chronicling the story of Leo the lion, Shere Khan the tiger and Baloo the bear.
Rescued after police raided a known drug dealer's Atlanta residence ten years ago, the trio was taken to Noah's Ark Animal Rescue Center in Locust Grove, Georgia. Officials at Noah's Ark originally considered separating the animals, placing them in different habitats, but assistant director Diane Smith told The Telegraph: "We could have separated them, but since they came as a kind of family, the zoo decided to keep them together. To our knowledge, this is the only place where you'll find this combination of animals together, they are our BLT, (bear, lion and tiger).

The lioness is said to allow a female oryx several minutes each day to feed the new-born calf. The oryx would normally represent a tasty meal to a lion, but this is not the first time the lioness has placed a calf under her protection.

Tired of killing, tribe resorts to old traditions - Technology & science - Science - LiveScience. The Enga people of Papua New Guinea have long been used to a culture where small-scale wars were common, short-lived and ended in peaceful relations between clans.
But in 1990, the younger generation ditched their bows and arrows for shotguns and semiautomatics, and the Enga experienced 20 years of runaway violence that claimed nearly 5,000 lives. Now, research shows that clan elders have restored peace by using their traditional tribal court system. As a result of the state-sanctioned system, relatively few wars took place in 2010 and 2011, and the death toll per war has dropped dramatically. For example, from 2006 to 2010, 74 percent of wars ended after only one to five deaths, compared with 23 percent of wars from 1991 to 1995. Uniting Church.
