Black stripes or white stripes?

The zebra is a wonderful animal don't you think?
Many people were in the past confused about the stripes on zebras: were they white animals with black stripes or black animals with white stripes? Embryological evidence shows that the animal's background color is black and the white stripes and white bellies are additions. This has cleared the question up for once and all.

Maybe you are happy to see the wonderful and weird zebra at the zoo but if you are lucky enough to travel you could see them in the annual migration in Kenya.

Stray parakeet tells police where he lives

TOKYO

A pet parakeet has been returned to its owner after the lost bird told police its home address.
The bird escaped from its owner’s home, and flew onto the shoulder of a guest staying in a hotel, and was handed over to the police.
First it told the police at the north Sagamihara police station the name of the city and district where its owner’s house was. Then it produced the block and street number!

The bird’s owner, a 64-year-old woman, once lost another parakeet after it flew away and was determined to prevent a repeat. So the owner taught the address to this parakeet that she bought it at a pet shop two years ago.
