  https://www.upworthy.com/bald-eagle-who-adopted-a-rock-becomes-foster-dad-rp3 Murphy is a male bald eagle who lives at a bird sanctuary in Missouri, USA. He is 31 years old, which is old for a bald eagle; they usually live for 20-30 years. Back in March, a keeper noticed Murphy had carefully constructed a nest of leaves around a rock and was protecting it like an egg. He would screech at other birds who came near, and would sit on the rock to keep it warm. Keepers discussed swapping the rock for a real egg but eagle eggs but there were none. Also eagles often do not react kindly to other chicks. Murphy previously lived with two female eagles but none were interested in each other. Then in late March a next with two eagle chicks was blown down by high winds and they were bought to the sanctuary. One chick did not survive and the other needed a foster parent urgently. Murphy had never raised a chick before. Some keepers were worried this would not work... Baby chicks cannot be intr...

When Gianessa was 7 she was diagnosed with alopecia. Alopecia is a condition that causes hair to fall out. A child with alopecia is not poorly, they just look different as most children have hair, but they do not. Lots of people have alopecia all over the world. Gianessa found living with alopecia difficult at first and her Mum was worried she would be bullied for being different. Gianessa's school held a 'crazy hair day' but Gianessa does not like wearing wigs and she finds scarves often slide off her head. So Mum decided she wold create a "bald and beautiful" look for her daughter, covering Gianessa's scalp with dozens of little jewels. Gianessa felt nervous at the start of the day but her class mates at school loved her look and sh...

  https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/feb/26/strange-pale-penguin-rare-yellow-and-white-bird-discovered-among-king-penguins-in-atlantic A pale penguin with yellow feathers has been spotted among the hundreds of thousands of black and white King penguins on the beach at South Georgia. Scientists since have been debating how the penguin looks so different with some calling an albino penguin and some saying it could be in "ino-bird". Whatever the reason for it's difference, all the scientists are saying it is a beautiful bird.  Scientists are debating whether the bird will face disadvantage because of its different colour; for example, it could be easier to spot by prey and also the water will not camouflage the bird when it dives for food. However, others argue the bird is clearly an adult which means it has survived this far and shows it is adapting and doing well.  The photo was taken by Belgian photographer Yves Adams . Yves describes how the penguin gave him...

Sue took in 6 kittens that needed rescuing. Within hours, Teasel started allowing the kittens to drink her milk and cuddle up to her. Initially, Sue expected to have the kitten for just one night but as Teasel is looking after them, she is keeping them a little longer; "My dog decided she was going to look after them. She was cleaning them and making milk." "She stays cuddled up to them all night. If anybody comes in who she doesn't know, and the kittens have gone astray, she'll pick them up and put them back to bed." "She has assumed the role of mum." - What is unusual here? How do dogs and cats normally react to each other? - How do you think the kittens felt when they first arrived at Sue's house? - How do you think Teasel felt when six kittens turned u...
