インド北部の都市カンプールの駅で12月20日、鉄道の電線に触れて感電し意識を失ったサルを救おうと、仲間のサルが必死に救助したことが話題になっている。通行人が撮影したと思われる動画が、YouTubeに投稿されている。
倒れたままぐったりしている仲間の意識を取り戻そうと、首にかみついたり、体を激しく揺らしたりしたが反応はない。それでも、この仲間は諦めなかった。線路脇の水の中に体を投げ込んだり、パイプに体をぶつけるなどしていると、15分から20分後にようやく仲間は目を覚ました（動画では58秒ごろ）。
インドのアジア国際ニュースは「英雄的な行為だ」と賞賛している。

In this photo taken Saturday, Sep. 21, 2013, bear cubs walk inside the forest enclosure of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) Bear Rescue Center, near the village of Bubonitsy, 350 kilometers (220 miles) northwest of Moscow, Russia. Bears were once hunted by Russians for their fur and their blubber, but trophy hunting is gaining ground among a wealthy new class with cash to burn. Russian authorities have made efforts to crack down particularly on den hunting, or the stalking of a mother bear with her young during winter hibernation, which leaves hundreds of cubs orphaned each year.

Female giant panda Tian Tian in her enclosure at Edinburgh Zoo on Friday, Aug. 9 2013. The female giant panda at Edinburgh Zoo is showing encouraging signs she may be pregnant, according to keepers. The zoo says nesting behavior and changes in hormone levels suggest Tian Tian could be expecting a cub or experiencing a phantom pregnancy, not uncommon in pandas. The zoo artificially inseminated Tian Tian, or Sweetie, after she was reluctant to mate with male companion Yang Guang, or Sunshine. The two animals arrived from China in 2011, and are the only pandas in Britain. (AP Photo / Danny Lawson/PA) (credit:AP)

GIBRALTAR - AUGUST 06: A barbary macaque monkey cradles its young in the \'Upper Rock Nature Reserve\' on the Rock of Gibraltar on August 6, 2013 in Gibraltar. Tensions between the British and Spanish governments have been raised on issues surrounding the sovereignty of Gibraltar. An increase in Spanish border crossing checks between the Rock and mainland Spain, leading to lengthy queues, is widely considered to be a retaliatory move for the construction of an artificial reef in British waters, which it is claimed has had a negative impact on Spanish fishing vessels in the area.

Scientists released a total of 415 one-year old lobsters into the North Sea later in the day as part of an effort to repopulate the lobster population around Helgoland (also called Heligoland). In the 19th century local fishermen caught up to 80,000 lobsters a year in the surrounding waters, combined with the heavy allied bombing of the island during and after World War II, as well as other environmental factors, decimated the lobster population.

Heligoland Island, in German called Helgoland, lies in the North Sea and until World War II was a popular tourist destination. During the war it became strategically vital and all overground structures were obliterated by massive Allied bombing. Today the island has a population of about 1,200 and is again a popular tourist destination known for its abundant wildlife. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images) (credit:Getty Images)

Recently hatched cygnets sit besides a stream following a swim with their mother at Abbotsbury Swannery on May 23, 2013 near Weymouth, England. This year the arrival of the cygnets at the only publically accessible colony of nesting mute swans in the world, has been later than usual due to the colder than average start to the year. However, the arrival of the cygnets is traditionally seen as the start of summer and local traditions claim the Benedictine Monks who owned the Dorset swannery between 1000 AD and the 1540s believed the first cygnet signaled the season\'s first day.
