True story

The distinguished gentleman has arrived.

In a quiet corner of a Crimean safari park, one elephant stood protectively over another — as if love alone could bring her back.

On 13 March 2025, at Taigan Safari Park in Belogorsk, two Indian elephants, Magda and Jenny, faced the final chapter of a bond that had lasted more than 25 years. Their lives had been deeply intertwined through decades in Russian circuses, including performances in Kazan — sharing the same ring, the same exhausting routines, and the same confined travel crates under bright lights and loud crowds.

In March 2021, years of stress and captivity seemed to take their toll. The two elephants clashed during a performance, and a week later their trainer was seriously injured. That incident marked the end of their circus careers, and they were moved to Taigan, where retirement finally brought them space and a measure of calm.

Four years later, Jenny, about 54 years old, collapsed due to a bladder disease.

Magda refused to leave her side. She nudged her, tried to lift her, and eventually wrapped her trunk around her friend. For hours, she stood guard, blocking veterinarians and forming a silent barrier around Jenny’s body.

Her vigil raised a powerful, wordless question — when animals can grieve with such depth, how can they ever be treated as mere stage props?

It's actually so sad to see

A groundbreaking study published in Nature reveals that some of the earliest known vertebrates — dating back around 518 million years — had two pairs of fully functional eyes

The fossils were discovered in China’s Kunming region and belong to early Cambrian jawless fish known as Myllokunmingids . Researchers identified preserved melanosomes and clear lens impressions, confirming that all four eyes were capable of forming images .

Scientists believe the extra pair of eyes gave these ancient vertebrates a wider field of vision, helping them detect predators in prehistoric oceans . Over millions of years, the upper pair is thought to have evolved into the pineal gland — the tiny structure in modern vertebrates that regulates sleep cycles and biological rhythms .
