HONESTY is its own reward.
An Aussie woman shopping
for a bargain at her local
opportunity shop (op- shop) in
the south-east Melbourne
town of Rosebud unmined a
fortune when she bought a
pink satin zip bag without
looking inside.
After taking it home
however, the woman found six
gold rings, a rose gold chain
bracelet, watches, earrings
and necklaces.
In a wonderful show of
honesty, the woman took the
cache to the police, who are
now on the hunt for the owner.
PRIMATE is a water-baby at heart.
An eight-year old gorilla,
Zola, at Canada’s Calgary Zoo
has become a smash hit after
he was filmed having a dance
in a puddle of water.
Zola was caught dancing by
his keeper, who had taken his
camera into the enclosure to
film several primates, in a bid
to raise awareness of their
endangered plight.
According to zoo officials,
Zola loves water and does a
dance every time he
encounters it.
“The whole behaviour of
just being fascinated with
water and splashing and
playing is something that they
do in the wild and some
gorillas do in captivity as
well,” a zoo spokesperson said.
The film shows Zola
stomping, tap- and splashdancing
through the puddle,
as well as spinning on his
heel in what looks remarkably
like breakdancing.
So far Zola’s splash-dance
has clocked 425,000 hits on
YouTube, with the zoo
delighted that his antics have
garnered so much attention
for the highly-endangered
Western Lowland gorillas.
