giant panda :: Article Creator Giant Pandas Have Their Own 'Facebook' To Chat To Other Bears Scientists have discovered that the giant panda, long considered a bit of a loner, has a surprisingly active social life, communicating with friends and family in a way that's akin to sharing status updates on Facebook.

What many people don't realize is just how gentle and calm the breed can be, which is why the mom-of-two sees Drax as the perfect pet for her children to grow up with.

A fire broke out early Friday morning at a property in Arlington, a city near Seattle. The dog sensed something was wrong when she looked out a window and quickly alerted her owner. It was the middle of the night when the barking began. "Normally, I just tell her, yell at her to go to sleep, you know? We were both in bed sleeping, because it was 3 o'clock in the morning," said Douglas O'Connor II, the dog's owner. But this type of bark was unlike one he'd heard before. "Loud, screaming-type bark. It was totally different than her just barking at a usual bark. It was totally woke us both up. Something's wrong," O'Connor said. "She was trying to tell us something." Lu...
