Amazing Photos

The first one is from an Discovery article saying that scientists studying tickling (how do you get that job?) reckon that primates have evolved laughing over 10 to 15 million years. Some of my jokes are certainly that old. The muddy orangutan is from a great story about a rare discovery of orangutans swimming through crocodile infested waters.

And this cute chap is from the World Society for the Protection of Animals website.

I saw an interesting (and complicated)  BBC story showing that scientists worked out the benefit of keeping rainforests outweighs the money that companies make chopping it down. Like that wasn’t obvious. But the point is they are trying to work out a system whereby companies can be paid not to tear it down. Whatever works.
