The Internet has mocked and condemned a Canadian tourist who put a bison calf in his SUV last week at Yellowstone National Park, and the man clearly made the wrong decision. But new details from another visitor may help explain his misguided motives. Park officials euthanized the little bison on Monday after they were unable to reunite it with its herd. While officials don’t know for sure whether tourist Shamash Kassam’s actions were responsible for the herd rejecting the calf, the National Par..>> view originalPowerful Rays beat Blue Jays 6-3 to complete 3-game sweep

In Klerksdorp, South Africa, a herd of more than 1,000 rhinos graze. Their famous horns are missing, blunted to mere nubs — a conspicuous sign of a ferocious battle gripping South Africa.
