Earthworms rain down on Norway, scientists puzzled Earthworms. Photo by Oksana Bratanova/Shutterstock BERGEN, Norway, April 18, 2015 (UPI) -------- Cats and dogs have nothing on this one.Thousands of earthworms rained down on parts of Norway, leaving scientist baffled by the appearance of the slimy invertebrates on snow-covered grounds. Biology teacher Karstein Erstad made the discovery as he was skiing in the mountains outside the coastal city of Bergen. At first he thought they crawled atop the snow from the ground beneath, but then realized the snow was too deep. "When I found them on the snow they seemed to be dead, but when I put them in my hand I found that they were alive," he said. "In many places, the snow thickness was between half a meter and a meter (1 1/2 feet to 3 feet) and I think they would have problems crawling through the cold snow." Erstad took a sample to Trond Haraldsen, an environmental expert at the Bioforsk research institute in Norway. "This is a phenomenon we know from the literature, but it is the first time in my time as a scientist that I have got the message that it has happened on the snow, "Haralsen told the Bergens Tidende. Since the incident, reports have come in from other areas of the country as far away as the Swedish border. Experts suggest the worms may have been lifted into the air by a weather system and blown miles from their original location. http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2015/04/18/Earthworms-rain-down-on-Norway-scientists-puzzled/2551429364745/?spt=sec&or=on

Best friends: 22 photos of babies meeting pets for the first time TODAY PARENTS, APRIL 17, 2015------After a long week, there's nothing better than a healthy dose of cuteness. Inspired by the sweet moment when TODAY anchor Savannah Guthrie's baby, Vale, first met Wrangler in the Orange Room, we asked members of our parenting community to send us photos of their own babies meeting the family pet for the first time. Samantha Okazaki And the results were, as you might expect, unbelievably adorable.

Solving Crimes Against Animals PSU conference teaches vets investigation techniques. UNIVERSITY PARK, MARCH 27, 2015(AP)-------- - The techniques we've all see on CSI may soon be used to help solve animal crimes. This weekend, Penn State is hosting the first ever veterinary forensic pathology conference. A forensic pathologist determines the cause of death by examining a body after death. At this conference, forensic pathologists who investigate human deaths, are teaching their veterinary counterparts how to use those techniques on animals. Veterinary Pathologist Jason Brooks says, "people are becoming more and more concerned about animal crimes, animal neglect, and animal abuse. They're pushing officers to investigate and prosecute crimes against animals, more so than in the past." Brooks says the three day conference, hosted by the Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences and the Forensic Science Program at Penn State has drawn veterinary pathologists from all over North America. They're focusing on everything from gunshot wounds to DNA analysis. Brooks says they're learning to better process cases which will help law enforcement prosecute crimes against animals. http://www.wearecentralpa.com/story/d/story/solving-crimes-against-animals/27620/H73yS1LF8EyQkyrNIJgFVg

Indiana farmer saves half-dead calf with warmth of hot tub ROSSVILLE , Ind., March 7, 2015 (UPI) ------- An Indiana farmer used the warmth of a hot tub to revive a half-dead calf he discovered in a pile of snow.Dean Gangwer said he found the calf as he did his morning cattle count at Gangwer Farms, in Carrol County, where in addition to raising cows the third-generation farmer grows corn and soybeans. "Mornings start early around here," he told KNVX. "We go out and we scout our cattle...she decided to wander off by herself, which a lot of cows do. They want to be alone." Gangwer said he must have missed one of his bovines giving birth. The baby cow suffered from a low body temperature and had difficulty breathing and keeping his eyes open. Gangwer rushed the calf, which he named Leroy, back to his house. As Gangwer passed near his hot tub he got the idea to jump in with Leroy to raise his body heat. "I jumped in fully dressed, held Leroy up so he didn't drown, and him and I had a nice bath for an hour, so we both came out warm and I think the end story's gonna be great for him," Gangwer said. Gangwer said he got the idea from cattle magazines and shows, saying, "They always talk about warm baths and calves." He dried Leroy off inside and wrapped him in electric blankets for another day and a half to further warm the animal. Leroy is now on his feet and nursed for the first time Friday.

Ringling Bros. eliminating iconic elephant acts from performances In this Jan. 3, 2015 photo provided by Feld Entertainment Inc., elephants perform at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus said it will phase out its iconic elephant acts by 2018. (AP Photo/Feld Entertainment Inc., Gary Bogdon) ASSOCIATED PRESS, MARCH 5, 2015(AP)-------The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will phase out the show's iconic elephants from its performances by 2018, telling The Associated Press exclusively that growing public concern about how the animals are treated led to the decision. Executives from Feld Entertainment, Ringling's parent company, said the decision to end the circus's century-old tradition of showcasing elephants was difficult and debated at length. Elephants have often been featured on Ringling's posters over the decades. The decision is being announced Thursday. "There's been somewhat of a mood shift among our consumers," said Alana Feld, the company's executive vice president. "A lot of people aren't comfortable with us touring with our elephants." Feld owns 43 elephants, and 29 of the giant animals live at the company's 200-acre Center for Elephant Conservation in central Florida. Thirteen animals will continue to tour with the circus before retiring to the center by 2018. One elephant is on a breeding loan to the Fort Worth Zoo. Another reason for the decision, company President Kenneth Feld said, was that certain cities and counties have passed "anti-circus" and "anti-elephant" ordinances. The company's three shows visit 115 cities throughout the year, and Feld said it's expensive to fight legislation in each jurisdiction. It's also difficult to plan tours amid constantly changing regulations, he said. "All of the resources used to fight these things can be put towards the elephants," Feld said during an interview at the Center for Elephant Conservation. "We're not reacting to our critics; we're creating the greatest resource for the preservation of the Asian elephant."
