A lyrebird has been caught mimicking the ‘evacuate now’ siren at Sydney's Taronga Zoo.
The native Australian bird has the ability to accurately mimic almost any sound it hears, with an evacuation triggered less than two weeks ago when lions escaped from their enclosure. #9News

Platypus news alert 🚨: A team of scientists in Australia plans to reintroduce the duck-billed wonders into the country's oldest national park next year huffpost.com/entry/platypus-…

very excited about this: HuffPost and BuzzFeed are each offering a 1 yr fellowship for a journalist who has recently left Afghanistan. They'll be able to cover whatever they are interested in — it doesn't have to be Afghanistan
