The Manchurian Tiger is sadly on the endangered list. However, there is a lot of excitement because the 11-year-old endangered tiger gave birth to five beautiful and healthy cubs at a park in China's Heilongjiang province! See how adorable they are!

The Lacoste company has decided to change it's logo temporarily and for an amazing cause!
Advertisements have been proven to make a difference. To influence, to create and to send a message. Well, that's what WWF's ads do. WWF (The World Wildlife Fund) is the leading organization in wildlife conservation and endangered species. They stand up for animals because animals cannot. They show the world the effects of humans have and try to preserve wildlife. But how can they when so many do not listen? Well, there is another way... through ads. The WWF creates incredible and unbelievable ads that send a message loud and clear. If you don't believe us... just take a look for yourself!

He is over 100 years old, weighs about 175 pounds, is nearly 35 inches long, five feet tall, and the ladies love him. His name is Diego. Diego the Chelonoidis hoodensis Galapagos giant tortoise.
According to Washington Tapia, a tortoise preservation specialist at Galapagos National Park, Diego "has fathered an estimated 800 offspring, almost single-handedly rebuilding the species' population--and saving it from extinction--on their native island, Espanola, the southernmost in the Galapagos Archipelago."
"Around 50 years ago, there were only two males and 12 females of Diego's species alive on Espanola, and they were too spread out to reproduce."
Six years ago, they did a genetic study and discovered that Diego was the
father of nearly 40 percent of the offspring released into the wild on Espanola, thereby doing more parenting than any other turtle to repopulate the species.
"He's a very sexually active male reproducer. He's contributed enormously to repopulating the island," said Tapia.
"Rawr, damn straight," replied Diego.
