Two females, no males. The last two Northern white rhinos left on Earth.
Najin and her daughter Fatu are the last two northern white rhinos remaining on Earth.
There were 500 in the 1970s. By the end of the 80s there were 15. All at the hands of poachers.

#ONStorm#ONwx The bird migration is showing strong yet again tonight across Southern Ontario! 🐦
This time, the radar view we’re looking at is from Franktown near Ottawa. At first glance, it looks like widespread rain is moving across Eastern Ontario. But if you step outside, you’ll notice it’s completely dry.
That’s because what you’re seeing on radar isn’t precipitation at all. It’s thousands upon thousands of birds taking off shortly after sunset as they continue their incredible journey south for the winter.
Weather radar is so sensitive it picks up these massive flocks in flight, painting the screen as if it were a rainstorm. It’s a fascinating look at one of the great natural migrations happening right above us.
Similar to what we saw last night in Southern Ontario! Which turned out to be a record number of birds in the air at once - over 1 billion across America!
It’s also a good reminder of how we can help these birds along the way. Bright city and yard lights can confuse or disorient migrating birds, sometimes leading to fatal collisions. Turning off any unnecessary lights at night during migration season gives them a clearer, safer path south.
Have you noticed or heard the birds passing overhead where you are?

FULL METAL JACKET was released 38 years ago today. A classic Vietnam War film as well as one of Stanley Kubrick’s most popular works, the behind the scenes story is typically Kubrick…

THE BREAKFAST CLUB was released 40 years ago this week. The story of five high school students in detention became a classic of the teen genre, as well as 1980s Hollywood in general. The tale behind any John Hughes film is pretty bizarre, some are just better at hiding it…

UPDATE: The #Eagles organization and Big Dom have identified the vile Eagles fan who berated a visiting Packers fan on Sunday. He has officially been banned for life from attending games, and the team is also sending the woman Packers gear as an apology.

#ONStorm#ONwx You know what’s a sure sign that summer is ending? Bird migration!
If you check the radar tonight (especially if you’re using IW Pro without noise reduction), you can actually see the migration happening right now in our skies!
Birds prefer to migrate at night to avoid predators and to benefit from the cooler temperatures without the heat of the sun.
Did you notice how, right after sunset, the radar went from mostly empty to being full of blue and green? That’s not precipitation – it’s birds!

ROBOCOP was released 37 years ago today. One of the most popular science fiction/action films of the 1980s and a classic example of Paul Verhoeven satire, the making of story is one you would definitely buy for a dollar…
