Dolphin enjoys ‘cool’ Valentine’s treat

Trainers at Discovery Cove recently created Valentine’s Day ice cakes as holiday-themed enrichment for Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Ice is a favorite toy of the dolphins and by changing the color and shape of the ice cakes, trainers keep them interested and engaged in their daily training sessions. Discovery Cove is an all-inclusive tropical retreat featuring swimming with dolphins, snorkeling with rays and tropical fish, hand-feeding exotic birds and relaxing on pristine beaches.

This penguin is single and looking for love

It’s not easy being single in a big city on Valentine’s Day, especially if you are a penguin from the other side of the globe. But Roxy, a four-year-old rock hopper penguin from the sub-antarctic islands, and London Zoo’s most popular single female, has one consolation. She has been receiving Valentine’s Day cards from people from all over the UK.

Roxy was previously at Whipsnade Zoo, but was moved because she was disturbing the other penguins eggs.

Now she is one of the London Zoo’s most popular and beloved attractions, with her MySpace page showing she has 431 friends and counting.

This calf is clearly looking for love

A Friesian calf with a heart-shaped pattern on its forehead has been born in Japan, just in time for Valentine’s Day. The bull calf was born two weeks ago, on January 25th, at the Yamakun dairy farm in Fujisawa in the Kanagawa prefecture.

Kazunori Yamazaki, the owner of the dairy, said that it was not rare to find calves born with various patterns.

Still, it came as quite a surprise to find a such a clear outline of a heart on the calf’s forehead.
