CHINA-SHAANXI-HUANGLING-OLD CYPRESS-TRANSPLANT (CN)
(110329) -- HUANGLING, March 29, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Workers move an old cypress tree to transplant it in Chuanzhuang Village, Huangling County of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, March 28, 2011. The cypress tree of several thousand years old was successfully transplanted to Chuanzhuang Village on Monday to avoid the impact of a water storage project in its original place 2.5 kilometers far from here. The precious tree will receive meticulous care in the next five years to ensure its survival. (Xinhua) (llp)

Long Necked Turtle Swallows Fishing Hook, Melbourne, Australia - 16 Mar 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by James D. Morgan / Rex Features ( 1295861f )
The long necked turtle after the operation to remove the fishing hook from its stomach, This remarkable story focuses on the long-necked turtle who was found by a passer by in St Kilda Botanical Gardens in Melbourne tangled in a fishing line. She saw that he was in dire straits swimming around in circles and so went in to help it. Dropping it off at Melbourne Zoo, the turtle then underwent a 6 hour operation to have a hook removed from its insides. Vet Dr Andrew Hill of the zoo's vet staff removed the hook by making a hole in its belly shell. He then used some adhesive bought from the local hardware store and normally used in house renovation to fix it back to the body of the turtle.

"The hook hadn't penetrated his gut, but it was preventing him from eating, and he would have had a stomach ache," he said.
"The patch of shell that we've put back will be shed in about a year as new shell grows in from underneath."
The turtle is now recovering in the zoo hospital and it will take up to a year for the shell to totally fix.

Girl awaits surgery to remove massive tumour distorting her facial features, Lishui, Zhejiang province, China - 06 Apr 2010
'AVATAR' GIRL WAITS FACIAL SURGERY
A Chinese girl who suffers from a rare benign head tumor is waiting for surgery to change her appearance.
"Others call her 'avatar girl' since the movie. And as long as there are people around she always covers her face with a cloth," said Professor Miao Guiqing of the Stomatological Hospital, Zhongshan University.
22-year-old Wu Xiaoyan's problems first started when she was nine-years-old and her vision began to blur.
"Teachers moved her desk from the rear to the front but she still couldn't see the blackboard clearly," said Wu's father.
Over time Wu's vision gradually got worse until he became completely blind and was unable to go to school anymore.
Over the next 11 years Wu's face then began to swell until her features became completely distorted.
Her eyes have been pushed aside and the skin of her face has become so stretched that it is now transparent.
"The tumor actually has blocked her nose and she can only breathe with her mouth. Luckily her language and swallowing abilities are not affected," said professor Miao.
Wu's father said his daughter's face stopped growing bigger when she was 20.
"My daughter is really a strong kid. She usually doesn't go out in case of scaring others. Only if necessary she would cover her face with a cloth and ask me to lead her out."
Professor Miao said the preliminary diagnosis is that Wu suffers from fibrous dysplasia, which is a disease that causes bone thinning and growths or lesions in one or more bones.
"There's a huge tumor in her skull. The tumor is about the same size as her head. Although the tumor itself is benign it affects her life greatly.

Four-year-old boy gets scissors impaled in face after fall, Qinglong town, Qinghuangdao, China - 21 Mar 2010
SCISSORS IMPALE FOUR-YEAR-OLD'S FACE
A four-year-old boy is smiling again after suffering an horrific accident that saw him fall face first onto a pair of scissors.
Xiao Yu was helping his parents to paste spring festival scrolls onto the door of their home in Qinglong town, Qinghuangdao, when the accident occurred.
He became impaled on the scissors they were using when he tripped and landed on top of them.
The sharp implement pierced 7cm into his face, entering just left of his nose.
He was rushed to the local hospital but they were unable to handle such a severe injury.
So, little Yu was then transferred to multiple different hospitals until, 10 hours later, he was finally admitted to Xiehe hospital in Beijing.
Scans and x-rays revealed that the blades had become lodged in his upper jaw and were pointing to the inside of the skull at a very dangerous angle.
Doctors decided to remove the scissors surgically and, after much discussion, Director Zhao Jizhi came up with a plan of action with other experts.
During a three hour surgery they cut an opening inside Yu's mouth to make the blades visible before surgically removing the scissors and then sewing up the wounds.
Just eight days after the operation Yu is once again smiling after suffering no facial nerve damage.
And with just a scar to show for his ordeal, Yu has apparently bounced back from the horrible accident, forgetting the pain and already racing round the hospital ward.

Four-year-old boy gets scissors impaled in face after fall, Qinglong town, Qinghuangdao, China - 21 Mar 2010
SCISSORS IMPALE FOUR-YEAR-OLD'S FACE
A four-year-old boy is smiling again after suffering an horrific accident that saw him fall face first onto a pair of scissors.
Xiao Yu was helping his parents to paste spring festival scrolls onto the door of their home in Qinglong town, Qinghuangdao, when the accident occurred.
He became impaled on the scissors they were using when he tripped and landed on top of them.
The sharp implement pierced 7cm into his face, entering just left of his nose.
He was rushed to the local hospital but they were unable to handle such a severe injury.
So, little Yu was then transferred to multiple different hospitals until, 10 hours later, he was finally admitted to Xiehe hospital in Beijing.
Scans and x-rays revealed that the blades had become lodged in his upper jaw and were pointing to the inside of the skull at a very dangerous angle.
Doctors decided to remove the scissors surgically and, after much discussion, Director Zhao Jizhi came up with a plan of action with other experts.
During a three hour surgery they cut an opening inside Yu's mouth to make the blades visible before surgically removing the scissors and then sewing up the wounds.
Just eight days after the operation Yu is once again smiling after suffering no facial nerve damage.
And with just a scar to show for his ordeal, Yu has apparently bounced back from the horrible accident, forgetting the pain and already racing round the hospital ward.

Wily Coyote Struck by Car Found Alive And Embedded In Vehicle - 8 Hours Later
WILY COYOTE STRUCK BY CAR FOUND ALIVE AND EMBEDDED IN VEHICLE - 8 HOURS LATER
When a brother and sister struck a coyote at 75mph they assumed they had killed the animal and drove on.
But EIGHT hours later they found the wild animal embedded in their front fender - and very much ALIVE.
Not only that, the wild animal escaped from where it was being kept to recover.
Daniel and Tevyn East were driving at night along Interstate 80 near the Nevada-Utah border when they noticed a pack of coyotes near the roadside.
When one of the animals ran in front of the car, the impact sounded fatal so the siblings thought there no point in stopping.
"Right off the bat, we knew it was bad," Daniel explained. "We thought the story was over."
After the incident around 1am, they continued their 600 mile drive to North San Juan - even stopping for fuel at least twice. They had started in Boulder, Colorada and were driving to start a new life at an artists community.
But it was only when they finally reached their destination at 9am did they take time to examine what damage may have sustained.
"Immediately I saw a ton of fur and said 'Sis, don't look, this is bad.'" says David.
They were amazed to find the coyote embedded between the front fender and radiator of their Honda Fit car.
Tevyn says: "The animal flinches and my brother, who is usually as cool as a cucumber, starts jumping around. He had such a tiny space to move around in.
They called Penn Valley-based Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release, who arrived to help free the coyote by removing the whole bumper of the car.
Tevyn says: "I don't like hitting animals, but when we saw the b...

Beauty and destruction: the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon rainforest is the world’s largest, but in the last 40 years at least 20% of it has been destroyed.
The Amazon rainforest is the worldÕs largest, but in the last 40 years at least 20% of it has been destroyed. The Amazon basin covers nine countries in South America, with 60% of it in Brazil, and for a decade local photographer Rodrigo Baleia has documented the beauty and destruction of the region from above.
Logging is a major cause of destruction in the Amazon. Brazil has committed to zero illegal deforestation by 2030. Illegal logging is especially prevalent, and a Greenpeace investigation in 2015 found the Brazilian governmentÕs policies to tackle illegal logging were flawed. Greenpeace found loggers were harvesting timber illegally, and were laundering the wood and labelling it as legal.

Tractors use chains during soil cleaning for soybean crop. In general, soy production has an indirect impact on deforestation Ð soy expansion drives up land prices, which in turn encourages infrastructure developments and displaces cattle ranchers, both of which lead to deforestation.

Haydn Boxhall, who had half his brain removed to cure epilepsy, Isle of Wight, Britain - Jul 2009
THE BOY WITH ONLY HALF A BRAIN
This is the amazing little boy who only has half a brain.
When Haydn Boxhall started suffering up to 80 epileptic fits a day doctors told his devastated parents that his body couldn't take any more.
The only option was to carry out a risky operation to remove almost the entire left side of the youngster's brain.
The complicated procedure has proven to be a success and little Haydn is now seizure free and, according to doctors, there's no reason why he shouldn't go on to live a normal life.
Haydn's delighted mum Gaynor, 36, an administrator, says: "Haydn has done fantastically well.
"When the surgeons told us they were going to have to remove half of his brain it was a real shock because you don't imagine people can exist like that.
"But we didn't have any choice; doctors told us he would probably die because of the strain caused by having so many epileptic fits.
"He has made a remarkable recovery after the operation and is doing so well now. He can sit up on his own and is just starting to stand up too"
Haydn, who is now three-years-old, suffered his first epileptic fit at the age of just four months.
His parents, Gaynor and her husband Marcus, noticed his face twitching and the following morning he suffered a full-blown fit.
He was rushed to St Mary's Hospital on the Isle of Wight where doctors managed to stop the seizure.
Five days later he was sent home but suffered another episode and was once again rushed back to hospital.
This time he was transferred to Southampton General Hospital because he had suffered two fits so close together.

Aquarium staff remove Winter the dolphin from her tank in order to fit the prosthetic tail
Winter the Dolphin gets a prosthetic tail to replace her own, which had to amputated after she was tangled in a crab trap, Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Clearwater, Florida, America - 23 Oct 2007
'Flipper's Fishy Tale'. A major US prosthetic limb manufacturer has come to the aid of a dolphin in need. Prosthetic experts, Hanger Orthopedic Group, who normally tackle the toughest human amputation cases offered to make a tail for 'Winter', an Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin. Two years ago, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium rescued Winter, after she became tangled in a crab trap. She was dehydrated and near death and the trap line had cut off circulation to her tail. The veterinarians had to amputate. The aquarium is now teaching Winter how to use her new tail, which has to be updated as the young dolphin grows.
