These young dolphins at SeaWorld have taken bubble-making to the extreme. They create underwater bubble rings with their blowhole, then they use their rostrum to manipulate and play with the bubbles – spinning them, making them smaller and larger, swimming through them and popping them.
Winter was just two months old when she got her tail caught in a crab trap, and rendered a useless stump, off the coast of Florida. After a long recuperation and a year and a half of hard labor by one of the veterinary world's top prosthetics wizards, Winter became the first dolphin to receive a functional but fake tail, qualifying her as the "world's first bionic sea creature."
A very cool place in Ontario, Canada where you can swim with polar bears!
Methuselah the 31-year-old golden eagle, which has spent most of its life in captivity, has taken its first flight in the Scottish hills on the 4th March 2008. Methuselah was taken from the wild at the age of four and has spent most of her life in a cage in Yorkshire. Last year she was released into the care of Elite Falconry in Fife, where trainers have been working on her fitness and teaching her to fly again.
