BLOOD donations?
A self styled “vampire” in the
US is calling on the public to
donate blood to his food fund.
The 21-year old “vampire”
posted the unusual request on
the popular US notice board
Craigslist, saying that he
preferred blood types AB and O.
In his ad, the vampire describes
himself as a “male sanguinarian, 21
years old age (on the exterior), with
hazel gray eyes and auburn hair”.
Interestingly, the call for blood
comes on the 165th anniversary
of the birth of Bram Stroker, the
original author of Dracula.
NATURE vs nurture.
In an interesting twist on the
natural order, a baboon at an
Israeli zoo has adopted a stray
kitten as its own, and can now be
seen by visitors petting and
protecting it.
The unusual pairing occurred
when the kitten entered the
baboons enclosure and settled in,
refusing zoo keepers’ entreaties
to leave the cage.
Not long after the kitten made
its home in the enclosure, the
baboon adopted it, and begun
caring for it as if the feline was its
own infant, patting it, cuddling it,
checking it for flees and not
letting it out of its sight.
Despite this maternal love, the
baboon does tend to steal the
kitten’s food from time to time, a
habit which zoo keepers say may
force them to separate the pair.
