Customers at My Cofi cafe in Kaohsiung can purchase customized 3D sculptures in their creamy cup of coffee. My Cofi barristas have brought dozens of photos of animals alive in the cups of their customers, but can also make pretty much anything their clients want including cartoon characters, insects, other animals, and even portraits of people. Needless to say, 3D coffee foam portaits are more expensive than a regular cappucino. One portrait takes about 10 minutes for a skilled barrista to complete.
The giant panda Tian Tian, on loan from China to the Washington Zoo, is busy in his pen the day after the birth of the baby panda he had with Mei Xiang. She was artificially inseminated on March 22 with Tian Tian's frozen semen. IMAGES
Washington's celebrity giant panda Bei Bei leaves the city's zoo to begin his journey to China, the land of his ancestors, which he has never walked on. The rules of 'panda diplomacy' dictate that once a panda reaches the age of four, he or she is repatriated to breed with other animals at sanctuaries in China. IMAGES
Dog lovers of the world unite! Bangkok's True Love dog cafe is a hip new spot where customers can have coffee and desert alongside 25 playful huskies, and even go into the petting zoo and interact with the dogs, petting them, feeding them, and playing all sorts of games. The cafe opened in 2013, when a family of husky breeders decided to share their passion for dogs and especially huskies with the world, thus giving Bangkok it’s very own husky cafe.
Four puppies got stuck in some tar mud near the Russian city of Noyabrsk last July, but animal welfare activists heard about their plight and came to the rescue. Activists were able to dig three puppies out of the muck just in time, but, unfortunately, one of the puppies had already died before help arrived. The three surviving puppies received immediate medical attention from activists and veterinarians, who spent several days cleaning the sludge from the puppies.
These little piglets were literally squeeling for joy as they lept off an open platform in their very own amusement park at owner Peng Fenghui's pig farm in China's Hunan province on Saturday. Their typical day include diving and sliding into water, running around in an obstacle course, and having a generally worry-free life, something they could never dream of in the wild. However, this level of freedom has a steep price tag, both for the pigs and for the farmers. The farmers all know what's in store for the animals. They will mate then be killed and sold for three times the price compared to pork raised in factory farms. All sorts of ethical considerations come into play at Peng Fenghui's pig farm. Does the farmer ever become emotionally attached to his livestock? Is killing the pigs for meat justified by providing them a much better quality of life then they would find in the wild? One thing is clear about Peng Fenghui's pig farm. Word has gotten around that extra care from the farmers has made the pork taste amazing, and demand has never been higher. That's what happens when pigs fly.
