Zoo keepers stunned as moose rescues drowning marmot from watery death

Keepers at Pocatello Zoo, Idaho, were worried when they noticed Shooter, a four-year-old elk, acting strangely at his water trough.
Baffled, they watched as the animal - who is so massive some keepers are afraid to even enter his enclosure - tried to dip his hooves into his drinking trough, before attempting to dunk his whole head in the water.
But they were amazed as 10ft tall Shooter lifted his head from the trough clutching a tiny marmot - a kind of large squirrel - between his jaws.

Bogdan Pavlov and Li Qiao of Purdue University, Indiana, combined images of several different flame types to create Dr Combustion, winning second place in the process.

Dr Combustion's nose, beard and hair were created by adding different mixtures of nanoparticles to a flame. The eyes and mouth are examples of counterflow diffusion flame, while the hat is an example of a more typical methane-air diffusion flame.

Crows Never Forget Your Face

"Crows remember the faces of threatening humans and often react by scolding and bringing in others to mob the perceived miscreant, according to a new study published in the latest Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Since the mob members also then indirectly learn about the threatening person, the findings demonstrate how just a single crow's bad experience with a particular human can spread information about this individual throughout entire crow communities.

Given that crows have impressive memories, people who ruffle the feathers of these birds could experience years of retribution."

Pierfrancesco Celada’s Study of Isolation

"IdeasTap, a charity that works to “fund, connect and nurture” new creative talent recently declared Pierfrancesco Celada the winner of its inaugural photographic award for his project, I wish I knew your name.

The Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka Megalopolis, also called the Taiheiyo Belt, is a unique example of urban agglomeration, with an estimated 80 million people living within the area. During a brief visit to Japan in 2009, Celada was fascinated by the isolation and loneliness he felt in the streets. As a foreigner traveling in an alien environment, language and cultural differences augmented the temporal distance between himself and the locals. While observing people, it was clear to Celada that even the indigenous inhabitants were not able to interact successfully with each other."

"The Vienna-based Vegetable Orchestra is just what it sounds like: an orchestra that plays instruments made of fresh vegetables. The 13-year-old musical ensemble has played its experimental pieces in concert houses all over the world.

Now they are working with scientist Wolfgang Palme from the Horticultural College and Research Institute Schönbrunn to develop the next generation of carefully cultivated instruments. Palme approached the musical group because he is interested in promoting the diversity, beauty, and seasonality of vegetables to the public. "Vegetables are extraordinary," he says."

Coen brothers set sights on New York's folk scene

"In one of their characteristic 180-degree turns, the Coen brothers appear to be planning to follow up their successful western True Grit with a film about the New York coffeehouse folk scene of the 1950s and 60s. After reports last month that the Coens were planning a "music-based movie", the LA Times now suggests that the subject will be focused on the radical folk scene that nurtured Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell – and specifically on the cult figure of Dave Van Ronk.

Van Ronk, who died in 2002, was a key figure in the Greenwich Village folk scene, helping to revive traditional and blues music in the late 50s, and remaining involved in radical politics all his life. His memoirs, The Mayor of MacDougal Street, was published in 2005.

The Coens have previously focused on traditional Americana and roots music, notably with their 2000 film O Brother Where Art Thou? which helped to trigger a major bluegrass revival, after the release of its bestselling soundtrack album produced by T-Bone Burnett."
