            And this little fellow was recently born at the Boston Zoo.  I guess that's his mother behind him.  He was named "Sox" and proclaimed the Honorary Mascott of the Boston Red Sox baseball team!

I mean, it's a face a mother, and I guess a Red Sox fan, could love.

            The last day of the year 2007 saw the death in Miami, Florida, of this magnificent creature, Nonja, at 55 years the oldest living orangutan in captivity.  She was born in Sumatra, Indonesia, and captured shortly after her birth.  She was taken briefly to Holland and then to the United States where she served the rest of her life behind bars.  Let’s send off some good thoughts today for our beautiful Nonja.
