Saint Louis ZooThe dogs’ assistance comes at a crucial time: Saint Louis Zoo scientists discovered a positive Ranavirus case in box turtles in the area, and this research is important to learning more about the virus.

They are tagging them to be proactive, doing infectious disease testing at their lab—and don’t worry, the dogs cannot pick up the disease, or spread it to other turtles.
“Every year we do annual health assessments of our turtles at our field sites. We spread out in a line and just walk the woods, eyes to the ground—and we don’t do it well because they’re good at hiding,” explains Jamie Palmer, of the St. Louis Zoo Institute for Conservation Medicine.

When Arctic gold miners discovered a lost and helpless bear cub whose mother had died, it didn’t take long for her to melt their hearts.
As the orphaned cub grew to trust the men, the furry guest soon felt like a friend to the workers on remote Severnaya Zemlya archipelago. She even loved bear hugs.
But with the crew scheduled to leave the base when their work contract came to an end, the vulnerable bear would be left to fend for herself. Between the threat from other predators and her lack of adequate hunting skills, she wouldn’t manage to survive without help.
Fearing they’d only delayed the inevitable, the miners hoped the large store of refuse they’d left behind would be enough to sustain their beloved pal until they could organize a rescue mission for her.
Having had no means of outside contact while at the base, the men reached out Moscow Zoo for guidance at their earliest opportunity.
“All we knew was that the cub’s mother died and that it was months ago when it discovered the base attracted by the smell of food,” Andrey Gorban, director of Royev Ruchey Zoo in Krasnoyarsk told the Siberian Times.
Following protocol, Gorban contacted Russian wildlife authorities to determine a course of action. After deciding the cub was incapable of being on her own, a rescue party was sent to bring her to the zoo.
So, while it was technically against the law for the miners to care for the bear, all things considered, at least this now-not-so-little cub is receiving the help she needs, and is being cared for in the way that suits her circumstances.
I came across these stories, rather amazing I thought.

#5 African lions save girl from kidnappers
This is one of the most chilling stories ever told of animals saving humans.
In Ethiopia ‘kidnapped marriages’ happen in some villages. In one such incident, seven men had kidnapped a 12 year old girl as she was returning from school. They were beating and assaulting her over her cries. Few humans dared to come to the rescue but lions are the king of the jungle and the king decided to punish the assailants. Three lions came and attacked the men, killing and maiming them. The rest fled for their life.
“They stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest,” the policeman said. – BBC
After that the lions guarded and kept the girl safe for the whole day. It was only after the police and the girl’s parents arrived that the lions felt reassured and left. The king of the jungle was truly the guardian angel of this girl.

'Only in Florida': Alligator strolls across busy junction after waiting for police escort 
Florida drivers faced an unexpected delay when an alligator interrupted traffic at a busy Tampa junction. In a video, the huge beast appeared to be waiting for a police escort as it lay in the middle of the road, obstructing several lanes of traffic, only to calmly stroll away when officers approached. The alligator, estimated to be 10-feet long, attempted to cross a six-lane boulevard near Interstate 75 at around 1:30pm on Sunday. A video of the moment, shot by Ruchama Lubin-Desir, has been viewed more than 12million times. 'It's not something I had personally seen before but it can happen all the time in Florida,' the 36-year-old said. 'Only in Florida, that's my slogan!'
