Swede Shocked by Elk Threesome
A man in Sweden was greeted by an unusual sight on Wednesday morning when he saw three elk engaged in what appeared to be group sex in his backyard. "I had just gone out on the balcony to get some fresh air," Peter Lundgren, a 43-year-old marketing manager from Lindome, told The Local. "They were eating apples and then suddenly they assumed the position," Lundgren said. He grabbed his camera to document the young male elk mounting an older female elk, which in turn appeared to be licking the rear end of another young male elk. “I'd never seen anything like it. Not with elk, at least,” he said. Elk are a common sight in his neighbourhood, frequently roaming from nearby wooded areas through people's yards. While he is used to seeing elk get tipsy from eating fermented apples, Lundgren said he was wholly unprepared to have a front row seat at an elk sex show taking place in his backyard.

Darwin's Experiment on Ascension Island
A lonely island in the middle of the South Atlantic conceals Charles Darwin's best-kept secret. Two hundred years ago, Ascension Island was a barren volcanic edifice. Today, its peaks are covered by lush tropical "cloud forest". What happened in the interim is the amazing story of how the architect of evolution, Kew Gardens and the Royal Navy conspired to build a fully functioning, but totally artificial ecosystem.
