When a baby kangaroo loses its mother, it clings to a teddy bear and thinks of it as a friend.

In Grafton, New South Wales, in southeast Australia, "Doodlebug" was found on the side of the road. He only weighed about 3 1/2 pounds. It's been months since the little rabbit was saved.

The Strange Lives of Black Servals

Servals are wildcats with cheetah-like coats that have black spots, bands, and lines that often live in the grasslands of Africa. Only in East Africa is there a hidden colony of melanistic servals.
