In Valencia, Spain a Beluga whale just gave birth to Europe’s first captive beluga birth. The calf weighed about 200 pounds and was about three feet long. The calfs  mother, Yulka is only eight years old and the youngest at the zoo to give birth. What makes this calf so special is there are only 20 baby belugas in aquariums all over the world.Most belugas only live for 35 to 50 years. There white skin helps them blend in to the icy waters of the Arctic ocean. Most people at the zoo have been waiting months to see this calf be born. 

The country Libya is made up of moastly desert. Since there are no rivers moast of the water comes from the aquifer or an oasis. An oasis is a pool of water that is fead by the undergrownd water by in the aquifer. Cities that are not settled by the aquafer have pipes that draw water from the aquifer and bring it to the city. Libya is ruled by a dictator named Muammar al-Qaddhafi. They are known for there terrorism acts such as the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over lockerbie. 

This is what my dog looks like.http://lassie.nxweb.com/images/brandy.jpg

I have a manicure collie dog. His name is Oliver. He is not a dog who jumps up on your lap and licks your face. Since he is to old for that we mostly have fun outside. He is not a very smart dog so you can’t really play ketch or Frisbee. Mostly, I run around and he chases me. But after a wile he gets bored. So I try to test how many tricks he can do. Just guess how many! A whopping big two. He knows the easiest ones in the book. Sit and stay. After he does his ”tricks” I tend to give him a treat. But giving him a treat after just a sit and stay you go through a lot of treats and so he got really fat! So now he is even less active and is getting older by the day. I still love him even though he has a few bumps and I wouldn’t trade him for anything.
