World's first set of male twin elephants born in Thailand
Thong-Kum and Thong-Tang, believed to be the world's first set of male twins, are just two-weeks old and are reported to be in a healthy condition in the rural area of Tha Lad in Surin, Thailand.
Elephant twins occur very rarely, and due to the nutritional needs placed on the mother, their survival rates are often low.
Albino wallaby hanging out at wildlife park
A rare albino wallaby has been born at a British wildlife park — despite the owners having no adults with the skin-altering condition.
The tiny joey is still tucked away in its mother Erin’s pouch but will start to venture out on its own when it reaches six months old.
Staff at Seaview Wildlife Encounter say the joey is a ’genetic throwback’ because albinism is most commonly passed from parents to their offspring.
And they hope the young marsupial will prove a huge attraction when the park, which is near Seaview, in the Isle of Wight, re-opens after the winter in ten days’ time.
“We haven’t been able to determine whether the joey is male or female yet because it is still in its mother’s pouch.
“We can only see its little head and front paws when it decides to have a look outside.”

Dubai bans restaurants from cooking with alcohol
Food lovers in Dubai are up in arms after reports that dishes such as coq au vin and rum-laced tiramisu could be banned from hotels. Authorities plan to step up the enforcement of a 2003 law prohibiting restaurants from using alcohol in food preparation.Inspectors are said to be hunting for illegal alcohol inside sauces, soups and desserts. The Dubai Municipality sent out a circular to hotel managers "strictly enforcing the ban on use of alcohol in food items and their sale," an official said.
"Though most regulations under the local order have been enforced properly, Article 15, which bans the use of alcohol in food preparations, their display and sale was not implemented effectively," said Ahmed Abdul Rahman Al Ali, head of food inspection for the municipality. "Some hotels also store chocolates containing liquor in refrigerators that are accessible to children. Alcohol is not good for children be they Muslims or non-Muslims."
Alcoholic drinks are widely available in Dubai, and the 2003 law has been mostly disregarded. But the latest move appears aimed at easing worries from Muslim restaurant-goers about wine or liquor being used to prepare their meals. Fines for violators can be up to $5,500 (£3,670).
