The Beautiful phenomenon of animals adopting other species of animals. In Rotherham, England, Bubbles the baby bunny lost her mother when she was just a week old. But Snaggle Puss the cat came to the rescue, adopting Bubbles into her litter of kittens.

A prominent Human Gut Bacterium in the intestine.  Bacteria form symbiotic relationships with many organisms, including humans. One example is the bacteria that live inside the human digestive system. These microbes break down food and produce vitamins that humans need. In return, the bacteria benefit from the stable environment inside the intestines. Bacteria also colonize human skin. The bacteria obtain nutrients from the surface of the skin, while providing people with protection against more dangerous microbes.
Calico cat, (three coloured pattern) fact about them are that majority of them are female, comparatively male calico cats are very rare it is because of the coat colour of the cat are determined by their genetic content, to be precise the colour of the cat is a sex linked trait. 
Anemonefish (Amphiprion ocellaris). Anemonefish get their name from their partnership with sea anemones. An interesting thing about anemonefish is how they can change sex.  All anemonefish are born male. In a group living in one anemone, only the largest male changes sex to become the dominant female.
Food Borne illness causing bacteria. The spheres pictured here are food vacuoles, or vesicles, released from ciliated protozoa. Within the spheres are Salmonella, labeled with flourescing red protein, and E. coli, labeled with flourescing green protein.
Phytoplankton – the microscopic algae that form the basis for marine food chains – have declined by 40% since 1950, at a rate of 1% per year. Phytoplankton also absorb CO2 and produce roughly half the Earth’s breathable oxygen.
Each year as part of the Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition, the world’s most impressive images and movies of life science subjects taken by microscope are put on show. The work of this year’s more than 2000 entrants delivered striking snapshots of human, plant and animal cells in brilliant light, judged on aesthetics, technique and scientific relevancy.
 Taxoplasma gondii, a common cat parasite gets into human brain and influences human behaviour. Toxoplasma is a common ‘cat parasite’, and has previously been in the spotlight owing to its observed effect on risk-taking and other human behaviours. To some extent, it has also been associated with mental illness. A study led by researchers from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden now demonstrates for the first time how the parasite enters the brain to influence its host.
