Blind skiier breaks downhill speed record A former British soldier set a new downhill speed skiing record by a blind person of 162.45 kilometres per hour (100.94 mph). Kevin Alderton set the record at Les Arcs on what is known as the Flying Kilometre. He was guided on the slope through radio speakers in his helmet by coach Norman Clarke. Afterwards, Alderton said the sensation had been amazing and his feat showed that disability is no barrier to achievement.

Lion cub in hydrotherapy Captive-born lion cub Samira is beating the odds to survive in the most unconventional way. Just 4 days after being born, she sustained a tragic injury when her mother accidentally bit through the tendons of her leg while trying to carry her. Her mother, Saffi, rejected the cub and attempted to bury her in the corner of the enclosure. Samira's keeper Pete Thompson feared the leg would have to be amputated, but thankfully animal hydrotherapist Roz Chaplin was able to exercise the leg back into fitness.

Sea lions have teeth brushed Wild sea lions may not care much about their fishy breath, but the French National Sea Experience Centre does - their captive sea lions have now been introduced to the joys of clean teeth and fresh breath. Keepers clean the captive sea lions' teeth daily with a traditional tooth brush and toothpaste, but it's taken some getting used to. "Sea lioins are used to the smell of fish and so some new smells such as toothpaste are not that likeable for sea lions. Each time we present them with a new smell, we have to teach them to get used to it," says Head sea lion keeper Jean-Luc Bourgain.

The cubs are only 40 days old, but already they act like they are all king of the jungle. Their unusual colour comes from a recessive gene. All white tigers must inherit the white gene from both their parents in order to be white. "They are white Bengal tigers. It is a genetic expression that occurs every now and again in nature but it is very rare that they survive in the wild. There are only 250 animals of this variety of the white Bengal tiger in captivity," explained the Buenos Aires Zoo Vet, Miguel Rivolta, said. The cubs are part of the zoo's...
