The Singapore Zoo considers the fifth birth to be a milestone in its efforts to preserve the endangered species.

Virginia Christmas trees may cost a little more in years to come. The Virginia Christmas Tree Growers Association
says the supply of Virginia-grown trees has been declining for the past few years. And the hot, dry weather this past summer killed
seedlings planted last spring, which means fewer trees in the future.
