Staff at St Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire have made a little jumper to keep a spineless hedgehog warm. The animal was found by a member of the public in a garden in Bedford and has been named Spudlina by staff as her skin resembles that of a potato. The two year old is undergoing various tests to determine the cause of the loss of her spines and she is currently enjoying regular skin massages with a Vitamin E moisturiser. Picture Jeff Moore

Paralysed tiger cub Ranga is doing just grrrr-eat - after being taught how to walk again by vets using water therapy. Rana was born completely healthy at Halle Zoo in Germany 18 weeks ago but suddenly collapsed unable to walk.
Keepers believe her mother Cindy may have unknowingly crushed her lower back. But now Rana is back on her feet thanks to the dedication of zoo vets who use water tanks and special harnesses to take the Malayan tiger cub’s weight while she learns to move her legs again.

RIP: Knut, the beloved Berlin Zoo polar bear, was found dead in his enclosure this morning by keeper Heiner Kloes. He was 4 years old.
Knut, the first polar bear to be born at the Berlin Zoo in over 30 years, was adored the world over, appearing on magazine covers, spawning a line of toys, and bringing zoo attendance to an all time high.
Cause of death remains unknown at this time.

Wouldn’t it be genius if whoever owns this P.O. Box is blissfully unaware of this post & suddenly just starts receiving hundreds upon thousands of wolf pictures?
