Dog takes care of baby tigers and hyenas at Seaview Lion Park, Port Elizabeth, South Africa - 15 May 2012

Dedicated Dog Cares For Tiger And Hyena Cubs
Traditionally, dogs are used to round up troublesome sheep.
However, one South African dog is used to herd animals of a rather different kind - baby tigers and hyenas.
Tricolour Border Collie 'Solo' takes care of his young charges at the Seaview Lion Park near Port Elizabeth.
He has been looking out for four-month-old tiger cubs Judo and Ruby since they were three days old.
According to park manager Or Lazmi, Solo formed an instant bond with the tiger cubs, which had to be hand-reared after being born too soon.
Or comments: "Solo was at the house when they arrived after being born prematurely. He helped clean them by licking their fur, and basically took care of them".
Now Solo is always close by to keep an protective eye on the cubs - as well as act as chief playmate to them and some of the older tiger cubs at the park.
Or says: "They don't ever fight. Solo will sometimes get too playful for them, but they will never fight".
Indeed, five-year old Solo is something of an expert at raising babies of all species - having helped with all of the young animals at the park.
His most recent charges are a pair of mischievous hyena cubs.
Or adds: "It's not unusual for different animals to form such close bonds if they've grown up together, especially with Solo helping raise them".

Dippy the penguin in one of the photos on his Facebook page before it was closed down
Facebook shuts down Dippy the penguin's page because 'he is not human', Isle of Wight, Britain - Feb 2011
Facebook has upset thousands of children by shutting down the profile of a wildlife park's penguin without warning - for not being human. 'Dippy' has been the star attraction at Seaview Wildlife Encounter near Ryde on the Isle of Wight since 1997 and was the first penguin to own a Facebook page. Youngsters make regular visits to feed him fish - and nearly 3,000 fans from across the globe have been following his antics on Facebook for the past two years. Hundreds of photos posted included Dippy visiting a local ice rink, travelling to the island by hovercraft and wearing cute costumes including an England football shirt and Santa outfit. He has also been snapped meeting celebrities including Dancing On Ice stars Kyran Bracken and Daniel Whiston. Wildlife park's bosses used his profile as a light-hearted educational tool to inform children about conservation issues and Dippy had around 3,000 Facebook friends.

Duckling befriends young kookaburra, Seaview Wildlife Encounter, Ryde, Isle of Wight, Britain - 08 Aug 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Solent News / Rex Features ( 1215947f )
I'm just Kookie about you ducky!
They should be predator and prey but this baby Kookaburra and tiny duckling have struck up an extraordinary friendship on the Isle of Wight, UK.
In the wild, the six-week old Kookaburra, called Kookie, would not have thought twice about eating his companion for lunch. But the pair seem to have developed an exceptionally unusual bond - after both being orphaned at birth. Kookie was saved by staff at the Seaview Wildlife Encounter, near Ryde in the Isle of Wight, after they feared his parents would kill him.
And the duckling was rescued from one of the park's aviaries because he was thought too small to defend himself against larger birds. Keepers took a chance and decided to see what would happen if they were put together.The duckling instantly cuddled up under Kookie's protective wing, thinking he was his mum and, amazingly, Kookie didn't seem to mind playing the caring parent.

To their amazement the duckling instantly cuddled up under the Kookaburra's protective wing and Kookie didn't seem to mind playing the caring parent.
While they are hopeful the pair will remain friends for life, staff at the wildlife park admit they may have to separate them in future.

Initially the pair were kept separate but staff had concerns for the tiny duckling, who was obviously lonely and missing his mum.
So their keepers cautiously introduced the pair.
To their amazement the duckling instantly cuddled up under the Kookaburra's protective wing and Kookie didn't seem to mind playing the caring parent.
While they are hopeful the pair will remain friends for life, staff at the wildlife park admit they may have to separate them in future.

Kookie the kookaburra and the young Madagascar Teal duckling
Duckling befriends young kookaburra, Seaview Wildlife Encounter, Ryde, Isle of Wight, Britain - 08 Aug 2010
In the wild, the 6-week-old Kookaburra, called Kookie, would not have thought twice about eating his companion for lunch.
But the pair seem to have developed an unusual bond - after both being orphaned at birth.
Kookie had to be saved by staff at the Seaview Wildlife Encounter, near Ryde on the Isle of Wight, after his parents went crazy and killed their other two offspring.
And the rare 2-day-old Madagascar Teal duckling was rescued from one of the park's aviaries because he was too small to defend himself against larger birds.

Humboldt Penguin chicks

P-P-P-P-PROTECT A PENGUIN
These cute chicks have been hand-reared by staff at an animal park on the Isle of Wight after fears were raised that their clumsy parents could squash them.
In previous years penguin chicks from the Seaview Flamingo Park have been killed after their loving, but careless, parents flattened them while sitting on them to keep them warm.
Due to this, this year's brood of Humboldt chicks were taken to safety away from their heavy parents; they now enjoy the warmth of an office and are being hand-fed a liquidised fish mix three times a day.
The Humboldt chicks range from two days to three weeks old and still have their soft, velvety grey feathers.
Humboldt penguins are one of the most endangered of the penguin species. Since most healthy adult penguins fear few land predators they have little natural fear of people, which has made them an easy target for human hunters and egg gatherers.
