U.S. Zookeepers Wary of Herpes Virus Attacking Asian Elephants

Zookeepers here feared the worst when they noticed that Jade, a 2-year-old elephant calf, was acting sluggish this month.

The calf was limping slightly, her appetite was down, and the keepers, wary of a deadly herpes virus prevalent in the country’s Asian elephant population, sent a blood sample to a laboratory for analysis.

“That’s pretty much the first thing we do when we see something amiss with our Asian elephant calves,” said Martha Fischer, curator of mammals at the St. Louis Zoo. “It’s such a mysterious disease, and it has presented itself in so many different ways — anything could be a symptom.”

Pluto's Moon Charon

In 1930, when a former farm boy - Clyde Tombaugh discovered the ninth planet, which he named Pluto after the Roman god of the Underworld. The first two letters of the name also served to posthumously honor his patron, astronomer Percival Lowell. According to an article published in the 7 January 2000 issue of Science magazine, researchers from the California Institute of Technology and the University of Nevada-Reno claim to have discovered crystalline water and ammonia ice on the surface of Pluto's moon Charon. Prior to this data collected by Voyager surveys have revealed that this ice is a part of similar sized moons in the outer solar system. Until the 1970's the world did not even know of Charon. Pluto has a diameter of 1,413 miles while Charon's is 728 miles. As far as relative planet-to-satellite size ratios go, the Pluto-Charon system stands out as the largest body compared to parent planet in the Solar System. The Earth and its moon however come close.

We have all been there, Fido looks up with his big brown puppy dog eyes full of guilt. You are angry and frustrated with what seems like a gallon of pee on your floor and there he is with his tail between his legs looking guilty as sin.
