Much appreciation to Not Tube for providing this week’s story!

Matins

Newberg’s eyes cracked open to the sound of bells. He had no alarm clock; many years ago his need for one had vanished. He had begun waking just a few seconds before it went off, and then found that he didn’t need to use it to wake at all, though he’d kept the thing for a while out of habit. The cool grey light of dawn filtered through the film-spotted windowpan… Read more..

Playing opposite a guy dressed in a dog suit in a cable comedy series isn’t what you’d normally expect from Elijah Wood.

But that’s just what drew the former Lord of the Rings star toWilfred, the new FX comedy bowing Thursday about Ryan (Wood), a suicidal guy who finds salvation in the form of a neighbor’s dog who appears to him as an Australian man (Jason Gann) dressed in a dog costume but as an actual four-legged furry friend to everyone else.

Elijah Wood to star in FX comedy pilot

“It’s extremely funny but it’s also coming out of a very real place,” Wood told The Hollywood Reporter at Monday’s Arclight Hollywood premiere. “Wilfred comes to him in this moment of crisis; it’s not just random. It’s potentially a manifestation of the part of his psyche that is pushing him to live and do so outside of his comfort zone.”

There are very few furry friends with as much swag as Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas).

Between his edginess and charm (and that super sexy Spanish accent) we all wondered, What’s his story? Well, on November 4, we’ll get the whole shebang, but for now we get a peek!

Puss is the protector of the town and makes justice a priority (when he’s not distracting chasing a dot of light). However, one mission becomes his defining moment: stealing the Goose that lays the golden eggs. Even after some licks of milk, he knows he can’t do this alone. So he teams up with Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis) and Kitty Softballs (Salma Hayek)—meow!

Take a look at the trailer for the adventure that awaits our feline friend.

The last of the Arabian oryx was believed to have been shot in 1972, but a successful breeding program has its population now standing at 1,000 in its Arabian peninsula habitat.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) moved the species from its "endangered" list to the "vulnerable" classification. The group told the Guardian that this is the first time a species that was classified as extinct has been brought back.
Many people believe the two-horned oryx is the source of the unicorn legend, the one-horned creature that's a prominent feature in storybook fables about princes and dragons.

France 3 took a look behind the screens of Ernest & Célestine, an animated feature film directed by Benjamin Renner, Stéphane Aubier end Vincent Patar. It's produced by Les Armateurs (France), La Parti Production (Belgium) and Mélusine Productions (Luxembourg).

The Wildlife Education and Rehabilitation Centre at Morgan Hill, California, has an unusual method of preparing orphaned bobcats for reintroduction to the wild. In a technique similar to that employed in Giant Panda conservation, bobcat “mommy” Colleen Grzan wears a full-body costume when interacting with the cats.

Grzan teaches the bobcat kittens to socialize, and encourages bobcat behavior such as hunting and stalking. The bobcat costume ensures the cats will not become accustomed to humans, so they will stay clear of them once released into the wild.

To aid realism, Grzan masks her human scent by rubbing herbs over her clothes and hair; the costume itself is scented with bobcat urine. She wears heavy gloves and remains silent when crawling around with the kittens.

At present, WERC is looking after three bobcat orphans, who will be returned to where they were found at around nine months of age.

dunno how FNN got the audio, but there ya go... Dude calls inseems to try to troll, and DJs shut him down, and end up hanging up on the guy.

They made a short mention of Anthrocon on the show and took one phone call where a man asked what “furries” were all about…  Thankfully short.
