A playful polar bear that once spent nine days trapped in a moat has done it again. Zero, a 19-year-old polar bear, lost his balance and slipped into the moat while pawing at a toy at Milwaukee County Zoo, Wisconsin, US.
Zoo spokeswoman Laura Pedriani says a net caught Zero when he fell so he wasn’t hurt. Zoo workers cut the netting and the 19-year-old polar bear was walking around later in the day.
Pedriani says Zero decided to climb out of the moat when he got hungry.

The polar bear was closer to visitors but his only exit from the moat went into his regular enclosure. A fence still separated visitors from the bear and the moat.
Zero weighs around 700kg and stands about 3.6m tall. His usual diet includes fish, fruit, vegetables and lard balls.
Zero fell into the same moat 15 years ago and stayed there for nine days.(AP)
一隻曾困在壕溝裡九天的頑皮北極熊，最近又重蹈覆轍。美國威斯康辛州密爾瓦基郡立動物園內一隻名叫「小零」的十九歲北極熊，在扒玩玩具時，一時重心不穩失足跌入壕溝。
動物園女發言人蘿拉．佩吉安妮說，小零摔落時被防護網接住，所以沒有受傷。動物園員工割斷網子，之後，這隻十九歲的北極熊又開始四處閒晃了。
佩吉安妮說，小零一肚子餓，就自行爬出壕溝。
這隻北極熊當時的位置比較接近遊客，但牠離開壕溝的唯一出口就是牠的日常圈地。遊客和熊及壕溝之間仍隔著一道柵欄。
小零體重約七百公斤，站立時約有三百六十公分高。他平常的飲食包括魚類、水果、蔬菜和豬油球。

Some 400 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, the “International Space Station” (ISS) operates as both a home and office for astronauts living and working in space. Astronauts typically stay aboard the station for up to six months and engage in groundbreaking research projects in various fields, such as biology, physics and astronomy. These projects help scientists understand life in space and contribute to advancements that benefit people on Earth. The ISS has experienced significant growth since construction began in 1998. The station’s design and assembly represent an extraordinary international collaboration among Canada, the European Union, Japan, Russia and the United States.

The UN Ocean Conference wrapped up in Nice, France on Friday last week with world leaders taking major steps toward marine protection and vowing a showdown when nations meet to negotiate rules for deep-sea mining next month. But a lack of funding pledges and the total omission of fossil fuels disappointed some observers. The summit was just the third — and largest yet — dedicated entirely to what the United Nations calls an “emergency” in the world’s oceans. The High Seas Treaty, or Global Ocean Treaty, is also known as the Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Living on the ISS is challenging due to the absence of gravity. Astronauts must strap themselves into sleeping bags to prevent floating away while they sleep. They also spend about two hours exercising daily using specialized equipment. Despite this, microgravity can cause muscle loss, bone density reduction and cardiovascular changes. As a result, astronauts require extensive rehabilitation upon their return to Earth. In spite of these difficulties, astronauts often describe their experience on the ISS as life-changing. One of the most awe-inspiring aspects of living aboard the space station is the unparalleled view of Earth. Traveling at
