Lovely!

Three white tiger cubs , one of the rarest and most admired in nature, were born at the Lisbon Zoo. They are two females and one male children of one couple in the existing park. Contrary to what some people think, the white tigers are not albino, nor a subspecies of tiger. The hair colour is due to a recessive gene, when both parents are carriers of the gene responsible for light-colored coat. Their coloring is more intense in winter, as an adaptation to cold, bringing out blue eyes, pink nose and creamy white with brown lists.

The gestation period of the WhiteTigers is 102 to 112 days. Calves nurse for three to six months and accompany the mother for two to three years, learning the techniques of hunting for its future survival as adults lonely. Because of its white coat that does not give the appropriate camouflage for their survival in the wild, white tigers, were for centuries the target of poaching that led to its extinction in the wild.

Downhill Cheese Rolling Race

The Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake is an annual event held in the month of May at Cooper's Hill near Gloucester in England. It is traditionally by and for the people of Brockworth - the local village, but now people from over the world take part. The event takes its name from the hill it occurs on. From the top of the hill a round of Double Gloucester cheese is rolled, and competitors race down the hill after it. The first person over the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese, what is very difficult to achieve. Accurate information is hard to come by, but the tradition is at least 200 years old. Suggestions have been made that the event may either date back to Roman times or have been a pagan healing ritual, but there is no evidence for this. Due to the steepness and uneven surface of the hill there are usually a number of injuries, ranging from sprained ankles to broken bones and concussion.

This year the event took place yesterday, 26th May. If you are curious about it and you want to know the race results , click here.
