Two Kittens Recovering From House Fire- Andrea Austin [ 9/20/2004 - 11:28 ] # WARREN, Mich. -- Their mother scurried amid flames, carrying the 2-day-old kittens one by one in her mouth to safety. She perished with the sixth and last kitten she went in to save from a house fire on July 13.
Now only two kittens remain from the litter.
Firefighters found the five living kittens outside the house and took them to an animal hospital in Harper Woods. The mouse-sized animals were given a 50 percent chance to live and placed in the care of Feline Friends Rescue in Warren.
For a month, the litter seemed to thrive. But two of them - Sparky and Ember - got sick and died last month.
Warren resident Martha Johnson, 58, who cares for the kittens dubbed the "fire babies," said the largest kitten, Phoenix , died Sept. 6 of lung complications related to smoke inhalation. more...

3 Baby Mountain Lions Freed from Frozen Train Tracks- Andrea Austin [ 11/3/2003 - 11:03 ] # A rail inspector became a hero after temperatures dropped in Helena Montana enough to stick three mountain lion cubs to the train tracks as they crossed.
One cub was on its back, another was stuck by the tail and the third was attached by his paw. The cubs kept licking the tracks which made the problem worse.
Rail inspector Pat O'Rourke found the cubs and tried to free them with warm coffee. When that didn't work he called in the warden who brought hot water. The cubs were freed and made it to their frantic mother on a nearby ridge.

Staff at London Wildcare Centre in Wallington, Surrey, say the animal would probably have been picked off by a predator because of his distinctive colour had he not been spotted by a passer-by.
Experts say the five-week-old squirrel, named Persil by staff at the centre, beat odds of 100,000 to one to be born completely albino.
