A completely white baby kangaroo was born to a couple of red kangaroos at a zoo in Buenos Aires. The albino kangaroo is a big hit with visitors. They walk past where the kangaroos live to get a look at the young kangaroo in its mother's pouch.
The pair of red kangaroos arrived at the zoo in July 2004. They gave birth to the white kangaroo and to another with gray fur.
People who work at the zoo say the kangaroos have adapted very well to their new home. Argentina has a climate similar to Australia's, and the kangaroos' pen was specially designed. So the kangaroos feel comfortable.
Baby kangaroos spend about 30 days inside their mothers. Afterwards they spend seven to 10 months in their mother's pouch. The amount of time they spend outside their mother's pouch gradually increases until they're fully independent.

阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯動物園裡的一對紅袋鼠產下一隻全白的小袋鼠。這隻白化的小袋鼠吸引了很多遊客前往觀賞。他們通過袋鼠區，去看這隻在袋鼠媽媽育兒袋裡的小袋鼠。
這一對紅袋鼠在二○○四年七月被送到這個動物園。牠們產下了一隻白化小袋鼠和一隻灰毛的小袋鼠。
動物園工作人員表示，這對紅袋鼠對新環境適應良好。因為阿根廷的氣候和澳洲相似，袋鼠的欄舍也是經過特別設計，所以牠們感到很舒適。
小袋鼠會在母體內待將近三十天，然後在媽媽的育兒袋裡待七到十個月。牠們待在媽媽育兒袋外的時間會慢慢地增加，直到牠們能夠完全獨立生活。

A Cameroon-flagged cargo vessel “Shunxin-39” was believed to have caused damage to an undersea cable of Taiwan telecoms operator Chunghwa Telecom on the morning of Jan. 3. It was suspected that the Chinese merchant ship, which was registered with the nationality of another country, deliberately cut off the cable by dragging the anchor over it. While the incident is still under investigation, China has a long history of using maritime tactics to sabotage Taiwan’s infrastructure. In February last year, two cables linking Taiwan to its outlying Matsu Islands were damaged within days of each other by a Chinese fishing
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the depths of the Pacific Ocean: oxygen production without the involvement of living organisms. Four kilometers below the surface where sunlight cannot reach, researchers have found metallic lumps generating what they term “dark oxygen.” This form of oxygen is produced through a process independent of photosynthesis. Unlike the traditional photosynthesis process, where organisms use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create energy and oxygen, the newly discovered phenomenon operates in complete darkness. The accidental finding occurred during a study of metal-rich lumps in an abyssal plain between Hawaii and Mexico. These lumps, known as
Have you ever dreamed of using an entire city as your training ground, effortlessly moving across walls, buildings, stairs, and obstacles? This is not just a fantasy from the movies. In cities around the world, a group of enthusiasts practice this seemingly impossible sport — “parkour.” The origins of parkour can be traced back to 20th-century France. A military officer named Georges-Hebert witnessed the incredible physical abilities of local residents in Africa, which inspired him to create the Methode Naturelle, or natural method. This training method cleverly combined climbing, running, and swimming with artificial barriers to mimic nature. Later, David Belle

Normally, oxygen rates would decrease as marine organisms consume it, but the result was contrary to expectations. The unexpected outcome prompted the team to further investigate the phenomenon. Researchers found the lumps emitted an electric charge similar to that of a AA battery. This charge is believed to trigger a process that splits seawater into hydrogen and oxygen, accounting for the increase. Traditional perspectives propose that oxygen production began around three billion years ago through photosynthesis by ancient
