Papa & Mama Elephants Teach Baby Elephant To Paint

I found this cute video on Reuters this morning where a couple of adult elephants are teaching their daughter to paint at the Ichihara Elephant Kingdom Zoo near Toyko, Japan. Papa and Mama elephants, Puri and Teri, are established painters in the animal world.

From this video, you can see them and staff at the Ichihara Elephant Kingdom Zoo trying to teach the one year old female elephant, Yumeka, to paint. She looks reluctant but she sure enjoyed the bath after that! Enjoy the video!

Tama the Cat Stationmaster in Japan

The Japanese are really innovative people. Just look at the number of Japan produced inventions! So, reading this cat story is certain not a surprise to me to know that this happened in Japan.

In this true cat story, a cat by the name of Tama has been dressed as a "stationmaster" in a bid to improve business. Business did improve, at 10% currently, when people from across the country flock to this particular station just to get a picture of Tama.

Business now is not just selling train tickets but also souvenirs of Tama, which are snapped up like hot cakes.
