Animal news: A wholphin and a tale of survival

Ah science: the first whale-dolphin mix (aka wholphin) born in captivity.

And in other news: You're Too Young to Die!

A man who loves his chickens:

Uegene Safken says one of the chickens in his young flock had gotten into a tub of water in the yard last week and appeared to have died. Safken said he first swung the chicken by the feet to revive it. When that failed, he continued swinging and blowing into its beak.

"Then one eye opened. I thought it was an involuntary response," Safken said. The chicken's beak opened a little wider, and Safken started yelling at it: "You're too young to die!"Every time I'd yell at him, he'd chirp," Safken said.

Yes, the chicken survived thanks to some mouth-to-beak.
