 Hope
for rare cheetahs
Cheetahs may be the world’s fastest
moving creatures, but it isn’t saving
them from possible extinction. In the 1970s,
the number of Asiatic cheetahs was estimated
to be from 100 to 400; today, thanks mainly
to poaching, fewer than 60 remain, mostly
on Iran’s arid central plain. But there’s
a glimmer of hope. Two groups of these rare
cheetahs, including five adults and four cubs,
were recently spotted in central Iran. The
Environment Protection Organization of Iran
has joined forces with the United Nations
Development Program and the Wildlife Conservation
Society to protect the cats. |

 Canine
takes the train
When Mike Taitt became separated from his
Labrador, Archie, on a railway platform in
Aberdeenshire, Scotland, he feared he’d
never see his dog again. To his amazement,
he later received a phone call from railway
staff informing him that Archie was waiting
for him at a station down the line, just three
miles from home. It seems the clever canine,
when he found himself alone, simply boarded
the train and headed home on his own.

 Do
you have allergies?
If so, you’re not alone. Roughly half
of all Americans between the ages of six and
59 suffer from allergies of one form or another.
The good news is that companion animals don’t
top the list of triggers. Of the ten most
common substances causing reactions such as
asthma, hay fever and eczema, those most likely
to trigger allergies included dust mites,
perennial rye, ragweed and cockroaches,with
about 25% of the population testing positive
to each. Although dogs and cats are also on
the list, they cause fewer reactions than
might be expected. |
