Since 2006 a pair of Bald Eagles ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ) nesting at Turtle Bay in Redding California have successfully raised a dozen eaglets! Not to disappoint, Patriot flies in a fresh fish from the Sacramento River. This year when the pair returned to Turtle Bay, they decided to build a new nest in an adjacent tree.

Another animal dies at the Calgary Zoo and more questions are being raised about their practices. Incidents include a hippo who died in transport from Denver and a Turkmenian markhor, a species of wild goat, hung itself at the zoo after becoming trapped by a rope. The fatality is one in a string of animal deaths in recent years.
