Tarzan and Frozen May Have More in Common than You Suspect!
Interesting:
Whoa. Elsa, Anna and Tarzan are siblings.
Well, kind of, at least.
Director Chris Buck, who headed both “Tarzan” and “Frozen,” told MTV News that in his world, Tarzan is Elsa and Anna’s brother.

Martian Life in Last Lake Found by Scientists?
Interesting speculation from Business Insider:
A trio of scientists says they’ve identified the best place to look for evidence of ancient life on Mars — one of the youngest lake-bearing basins ever discovered.
Though Mars has no liquid water today, the Red Planet was submerged under vast oceans billions of years ago. And where there’s water, there’s the potential for life.

Mars Rover Notices a Peculiar Figure
Could it be… John Carter?

Hunting Ban Lifted in Zimbabwe sparks Anger just One Week After Cecil the Lion’s Death
From DailyMail:
Zimbabwe’s ban on hunting lions, leopards and elephants around Hwange National Park – where Cecil the lion lived before he was lured to his death – has been lifted just a week after it was instigated. A statement to members of the Zimbabwe Professional Hunters and Guides Association was leaked this weekend, showing the ban on big-game hunting in areas outside of the park has been abandoned – but is still in place in the farm where Cecil was killed.

Alexander Skarsgard: Why Next Summer’s Tarzan Will Surprise You
Great piece in John Carter files:
Alexander Skarsgard has let go the first volley in terms of serious discussion about what to expect from David Yates’s Tarzan next July. It comes in an interview with Mike Ryan. Now, some of this has to be discounted beause actors always say the character was intriguing, the director was fantastic, and so on. Okay — we get that. But even allowing for that, Skarsgard’s comments are interesting and, to my taste at least, encouraging:

Rhinos Could Go Extinct if Their Genocide in Africa isn’t stopped
From Yahoo News:
Following the tragic killing of Cecil the lion it is imperative that we use this outrage to turn the spotlight on one of South Africa’s biggest tragedies—rhino genocide. When most travelers head to Africa for a safari vacation they are hoping to spot the “Big Five.” That is shorthand for the big game— lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino. But, if things don’t change and soon, they will only ever get a chance to see the “Big Four.”

Liberia’s ‘Planet of the Apes’ chimps facing starvation
More sad news for our ape folk!
Monkey Island (Liberia) (AFP) – A speedboat laden with fruit approaches and four chimpanzees come bounding over from the dense forest, screeching excitedly as volunteers throw them pineapple and mango chunks.
The apes are part of a colony of former research lab captives enjoying retirement uncaged on an atoll deep in the jungle of southern Liberia, known as Monkey Island.
