Kotaku shows these great photos (with video on the flickr feed) of a Gorilla at San Francisco zoo playing with a DSI XL. The DS fell into the Gorilla enclosure and looked at it for a while before swapping it for an apple with one of the keepers.
The boy who dropped the DS said it still worked fine, even with a few scratches a Gorilla drool. The flickr feed has some great pictures.

Usually, you don’t need extensive training when introducing an animal into your life. When you acquire a dog or a cat, you can play it by ear or get advice from a friend. But what about a chicken? Most of us don’t know the first thing about keeping chickens, which is why the New York Restoration Project (NYRP), in partnership with bk farmyards and Just Food, is presenting a workshop series this summer and fall covering the topic.

A Florida man was arrested and charged with having sex with his dog named Christie Brinkley!
According to reports, 64-year-old Armand M. Pacher was reported to the authorities after he called a veterinarian’s office to reschedule an eye surgery appointment and told an office worker how he had sex with his 2 ½-year-old dog Great Dane.
“She doesn’t seem to enjoy it as much when we have sex. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been as energetic lately and that’s why she’s not enjoying it,” he allegedly told the staffer.
At the veterinarian’s office the doctor checked the spayed dog and found evidence of forced sex. He told police he believed the sex did not come from another dog.
Pacher was arrested on third-degree felony animal cruelty charges and could face up to five years in prison. His attorney says that the conversation about the sex was only a joke. “I’m really disappointed that Aventura police would make an arrest based on unsupported evidence and conclusions,” he said. “I expect my client will be full vindicated.”

Apart from being one of the most adorable ocean-going animals on the planet, sea otters play a powerful role in sucking greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. According to a new study written up this week in New Scientist, if the endangered fur balls' population were restored to pre-hunting levels, they could sequester a total of some 10 million tons of carbon in the ocean ecosystem, making them a useful weapon in the fight against global warming.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, otters were hunted to near extinction for their pelts. By the 1970s, conservation efforts had boosted their numbers back up near 125,000 animals. But the population has been in decline again of late, with perhaps 70,000 remaining in the Pacific waters off North America.
But Chris Wilmers of the University of California, Santa Cruz has worked out that otters play a crucial role in how the ecosystem draws carbon out of the atmosphere. By feasting on sea urchins, otters keep vast forests of kelp healthy, which he calculates can sequester 0.18 kilograms (0.40 pounds) of carbon for every square meter of habitat the animals occupy.
That doesn't sound like a lot, but multiplied across all of the coastal waters that could support a kelp forest ecosystem, it adds up. That makes sea otters very valuable animals indeed, and not just in a "let's save the cute fuzzy critters" sort of way.
As the New Scientist article puts it:
That means that if sea otters were restored to healthy populations along the coasts of North America they could collectively lock up a mammoth 10^10 kg of carbon – currently worth more than $700 million on the European carbon-trading market.
Wilmers speculates that restoring wolf populations and curtailing the illegal bushmeat trade could have similar positive effects on vegetation -- and carbon sequestration -- around the world.Apart from being one of the most adorable ocean-going animals on the planet, sea... more

By far the cutest news of the day containing two very sweet photographs. This tiny fluffeh chick suffered from the problem of curled feet (bird toes?) and being a member of a vulnerable species the tiny birdie needed help. Of course, the action required the zoo keepers to make tiny bird slippers out of green bandages, n'aaaaaw.
‘The chick is doing very well and the park keepers take it for walks to strengthen those legs. [...] ‘We were delighted when one hatched. So the keepers are now full-time mums with two hourly feeds and giving some much needed tender loving care to this little one.’’-MetroBy far the cutest news of the day containing two very sweet photographs.
