Illustrating the lives of animals

Times of Malta 

Is it true that cows like eating spaghetti with tomato sauce? Is it true that horses sleep on hammocks after a long, hard day? Can a rooster sing opera? Do giraffes eat clouds? And do zebras love their cup of tea? These and other teasing questions are tackled in Annimaloskopju, a new series of boardbooks recently published by Merlin Publishers. Non-fiction for the very young is very much sought after, but very hard to find in Maltese. L-Annimali tas-Savana and L-Annimali tar-Razzett blend cheeky... Читать дальше...

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — When a major fire breaks out, it's not uncommon to see engines, ladder trucks and a command vehicle on the scene. But there's another unit that goes as well. It carries no pumps or hoses, and its crew members don't go into burning buildings. They're called rehabilitation units, and they provide both a mandated and a vital service for firefighters — giving them respite from the heat and weather, fluids and energy snacks, and medical evaluations before going back into the fire.

Franklin's bumblebee still absent at Mount Ashland meadows

«SFGate» (sfgate.com)
