A baby panda rejected by its mother has been adopted by a cat. The cat is suckling the animal along with its own young, Amsterdam’s Artis Zoo said last week.
“The young panda is doing well in the circumstances. For it to survive, it is very important that it gets enough food and grows. We will see if this is the case over the next few weeks,” the zoo said in a statement.
The animal, an endangered red panda, would need to be suckled by the cat for at least a few weeks. The zoo said that it is not strange for a wild animal to be adopted by a domestic one.

The panda and another sibling were initially accepted by their mother but a day later were found to have been abandoned. They were very sick.
“A cat belonging to one of the zookeepers had just given birth, so we decided to try to get it to suckle the pandas,” the statement said.
The second panda, already weak when it was placed with the cat, did not survive.

阿姆斯特丹的阿提斯動物園上週表示，一隻被貓熊媽媽拋棄的小貓熊被一隻貓收養，這隻貓一起哺育小貓熊和牠的小孩。
「這隻小貓熊適應得很好，牠存活的關鍵就是獲取足夠的食物才會慢慢長大。接下來幾週我們會仔細觀察。」
這是一隻瀕臨絕種的紅貓熊，牠至少還需要貓媽媽提供奶水數週。園方表示，這並不是被飼養的動物餵養野生動物的特例。
貓熊媽媽一開始還給這隻小貓熊和牠的另一名手足餵奶，但一天後就拋棄了牠們，當時牠們非常虛弱。
園方發佈的聲明上提到：「園內一名管理員養的貓才剛產下小貓，所以我們決定嘗試讓牠為這隻小貓熊餵奶。」
另一隻小貓熊在放到貓媽媽身旁時就已相當虛弱，後來仍無力回天。
瀕臨絕種的紅貓熊體型比一般家貓大一點，多半出現在喜馬拉雅山東麓。

US President Donald Trump on Monday last week signed the TAKE IT DOWN ACT (Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act), bipartisan legislation that enacts stricter penalties for the distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery, sometimes called “revenge porn,” as well as deepfakes created by artificial intelligence. The measure, which goes into effect immediately, was introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, and later gained the support of First Lady Melania Trump. Critics of the measure, which addresses both real and artificial intelligence-generated imagery, say
Cats ruled in ancient Egypt—and not just in their own minds. These clever, graceful creatures were so deeply respected by the Egyptians that harming one could lead to severe punishment, even death. But why did the Egyptians hold cats in such high regard? It wasn’t just because they were cute; cats played a crucial role in protecting the country’s grain stores from pests. As guardians of Egypt’s food supply, they were seen as sacred animals. The Egyptians honored them through Bastet, the cat-headed goddess of protection, the home and fertility. Egyptians didn’t just love cats; they worshipped them. Cats lived in luxury,

Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Despite these advantages, there are still some challenges when it comes to housing data centers under the ocean. One problem is that they’re difficult to access for repair or replacement. __4__ This presents a significantly higher level of complexity than handling traditional land-based data centers. Another challenge is energy reliability. Many underwater data centers rely on offshore renewable energy sources, which can be unstable due to environmental factors. While underwater data centers offer exciting possibilities, overcoming the associated challenges is essential to realizing their full potential. 儘管有這些優勢，在海底安置資料中心仍存在一些難關。一個問題是難以進入水下資料中心進行修理或更換。這需要派人員到水下或將資料中心運送到維修站。這比處理傳統的陸上資料中心還要複雜許多。另一個難關是能源可靠性。許多水下資料中心依賴近海再生能源，而這些能源可能會因環境因素而不穩定。雖然水下資料中心提供了令人興奮的可能性，但要充分發揮其潛力，克服相關的難題是相當重要的。 What Did You Learn?
