Associated Press Tue Jun 13, 2006 ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea may be turning to cannibalism because longer seasons without ice keep them from getting to their natural food, a new study by American and Canadian scientists has found.
The study reviewed three examples of polar bears preying on each other from January to April 2004 north of Alaska and western Canada, including the first-ever reported killing of a female in a den shortly after it gave birth. |

June 13, 2006 PHNOM PENH - A tiny mouse the size of a human toe cut electric power to more than 40 percent of Phnom Penh, Cambodian officials said Tuesday.
The mouse managed to short circuit a 40-megawatt power plant south of the city, said Chea Sun Hel, director of the power company's distribution department . "The mouse was as big as a human toe, but it created a big problem," he told Reuters. Phnom Penh's 1.3 million residents often suffer power cuts the government blames on technical problems. |
