Orangutans have a funny trait: males sometimes show attention not only to females but also to women if they have red hair (just like the apes themselves).
For example, orangutan Hsing Hsing from an Australian zoo has once stolen a photo of Nicole Kidman from a magazine and brought it to its home. Apparently, he liked her very much.

In different fairytales, there are stories of friendship between different animals. For example, American Indians have fairytales about the friendship between coyotes and badgers which is actually real. Coyotes and badgers hunt together because they each have advantages that the other species doesn’t.
Badgers can catch prey in burrows and coyotes can’t do that, and coyotes can effectively chase animals on the ground. Additionally, coyotes have better vision, and badgers have a great sense of smell. So badgers can dig out small animals making them run away right to the paws of a coyote waiting nearby.

A group of plant breeders from California bred a kind of grape that has 12% more sugar than regular grapes. It took the breeders 12 years and in 2013, the sales of the new grapes began.
The grapes smell and look just like regular grapes but the taste is almost identical to cotton candy. This is a great alternative to regular sweets.

Dr. Samuel A. Mudd was the physician who set the leg of Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, and whose shame created the expression for ignominy: "His name is Mudd."

So if Nicole visited him and they did a duet together would that be Hsing Hsing had a sing song by a billabong?
