The unseen residents of Notre Dame, roughly 180,000 bees, were currently living on its' roof when the fire broke out. 

Beekeeper, Nicolas Geant, who tend to them was worried they wouldn't survive the blaze but when he returned to assess the damage, he was relieved to find out they survived!  

Three hives were placed on the roof in 2013 to help boost the population as the numbers were dramatically declining. Since the hives where installed, Geant has been overseeing them and sharing updating on his Instagram page.

According to Caters New Agency, the albino pinkbelly sideneck turtle was born with her heart exposed. In humans, this condition is called ectopia cordis, but in veterinary medicine there is no name for the life-threatening genetic defect. Even with her heart beating outside of her shell, the baby turtle, named Hope, has defied the odds and survived. Hope lives with her owner Michael Aquilina in New Jersey. Aquilina, known as AquaMike on Instagram, was given the turtle by a friend who felt Aquilina had the passion and experience to give Hope the longest, happiest life possible. The little turtle arrived at Aquilina's home in November 2018 and continues to grow stronger with each passing day.
