DEER: A deer marched itself right into the New Brunswick legislature today. (Mad about some recent hunting bill?) Whatever it was thinking, the darned thing jumped onto a desk, smashed a keyboard, raced through the offices and bounded out a window, leaving shattered glass strewn outside. Whew!

PANDAS: Less than a year after being released into the wild, poor 5-year-old Xiang Xiang died.

RHINOS: Sadly, all the news today seems to be bad. A super rare northern white rhino also died, possibly of old age. There might only be 13 left worldwide.

ENDANGERED WILDLIFE: If you tell people not to do something, they might do it more. That revalation from the journal Nature. Could be controversial.

HOGS: Good catch, kid. But how on earth did "Monster Pig" get there in the first place?
