Australia’s military offered on Thursday to help save a baby whale abandoned by its mother in a bay north of Sydney as wildlife experts fought to stave off its starvation within days.
The humpback whale, nicknamed “Colin” by Australian media, was found attempting to suckle off a moored yacht at Pittwater after being abandoned by its mother off Australia’s east coast.
“Our hearts are breaking with what’s happening with baby Colin. It’s looking bleak, but every effort is being made,” New South Wales state premier Morris Iemma said after the military volunteered floats to try to get the calf back to sea. Read the rest of this entry →

The baby, weighing only 600 grams at birth, spent at least five hours inside one of the hospital’s refrigerated storage units, before her parents, who had taken her to be buried, began noticing some movement.

 PRAGUE (Reuters) – A Czech couple who decided to take a DNA test to squash persistent pub gossip and prove that their 10-month-old baby was their own got a nasty surprise.
The couple, from the southeastern town of Trebic, had some doubts about the child as her hair was blonde and they both had dark hair. Fellow drinkers’ suspicions got on their nerves.
But the test showed neither of the parents had the same DNA as the baby, Czech news agency CTK reported Wednesday, suggesting a mix-up at the hospital. Authorities were looking into the case.
