A New York Times story that ran in 2001 about a homeless dog wandering around a suburban part of New York City, struck a chord with me. Today we have a lovely guest post from author Deborah Blumenthal. He was, “part German Shepherd, part something else,” and he was smart enough to find food,and win the hearts of the locals.

But in 2001, Marcel van Tuinen and his colleagues published a DNA study of waterbirds that proposed a then-shocking sister relationship between flamingos and grebes, two groups “which otherwise show no resemblance,” the authors wrote at the time.

It was January, 2001, and here in the southern hemisphere January is the hottest of summer months. Date: January 24th, 2001 (08:30-11:00h). Like a ritualized dance, it unfolds its wings, takes a peek, folds them and moves a few steps, then unfolds again…. I would not have minded having some shade myself.

Since 1948, there have been more than 275 unprovoked attacks on humans in Florida, of which at least 17 resulted in death. There were only nine fatal attacks in the U.S. In May 2006, alligators killed three Floridians in less than a week.
