  Rare Antarctic penguin accidentally travels 3,000km to New Zealand - BBC News A penguin from Antarctica got lost last week and travelled 3000 km to New Zealand. The Adelie penguin was found by locals looking lost on the shore. A local resident, Harry Singh, was the first to spot the penguin but at first thought it was a soft toy, until the penguin moved its head. Mr Singh said the bird looked exhausted and didn’t move for an hour. He was worried another animal might take it for food.   Mr Singh took the penguin to a penguin sanctuary; they were shocked that the bird had travelled so far.

  Innovative 10-year-old creates 'stick library' for local dogs - CNN D  10 year old Jeremiah Carter from Canada devised a plan to keep himself busy and help residents living in his community.   Jeremiah built a stick library for dogs. The idea was that dogs would have a collection of sticks that could be used to play fetch. He first had to decide how big the library needed to be and then collect and measure wood. He also had to cut it down to the right size.   The finished library was delivered to the local park and tied to a fence so that it wouldn’t go missing. Jeremiah then started to build a collection of sticks. He filled up the box and returned the next day to see if anything had happened.   Jeremiah was astonished to find all the ticks had gone. Clearly the library was being used.   Jeremiah’s Dad said, “It seemed to make people happy and it’s given him some enjoyment and a bit of purpose. It seems to be a good thing for the community. It can connec...
