Two Tasmanian wallabies who escaped from a petting zoo in Scotland have been found and returned.

Their owner told the BBC Scotland: “The man who sold the wallabies to us told us that wallabies hate swimming so it would be fine for us to put them on one of our three acre islands. However, within six hours of us buying them they were furiously swimming” for shore.

A Sri Lanka hen has given birth to a chick without an egg. Instead of passing out of the hen’s body and being incubated outside, the egg was incubated in the hen for 21 days and then hatched inside the hen.

The chick is fully formed and healthy, although the mother has died.

Yutyrannus, a newly described relative of Tyrannosaurus rex, is the largest known feathered animal—living or extinct.

The feathered meat-eating dinosaur lived about 125 million years ago and is estimated to have weighed a whopping 1,400 kg (3,086 lbs) as an adult.

The new specieshas been identified from three fossils found in northeastern China.

A tiny, two-week-old kitten was brought back to life by fire crews after they rescued it from a house fire. Firefighters found the motionless kitten on a table of the house in Rusholme when they went inside to tackle the flames. They carried it outside and managed to resuscitate it with oxygen.

Lynn D. “Buck” Compton, an Army paratrooper whose World War II service was portrayed in the book and HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers” and who later as a prosecutor secured a conviction of Robert F. Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan, died Feb. 26 at his home in Burlington, Wash. He was 90.

After parachuting into Normandy during the early hours of D-day in June 1944, Compton was part of the assault group that destroyed the German artillery during the battle at Brecourt Manor. He fought at Carentan, participated in Operation Market Garden in Holland and helped defend Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge.

More than 30 years after it was stolen from a French museum, Camille Pissarro’s “Le Marche aux Poissons” (“The Fish Market”) was handed over to the French ambassador by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Wednesday.

The roughly greeting-card-size work is a color monotype, a one-of-a-kind print made by painting on glass and then transferring the wet paint to a piece of paper.

Wednesday’s return was staged in a hall of a Washington museum filled with other French impressionist works, including some by artists who were inspired by Pissarro.

The customs bureau said that since 2007 it has returned more than 2,500 items to more than 22 countries.

A police boat approached the luxury cruise ship Costa Concordia, which ran aground near the tiny Italian island of Giglio on Saturday. Passengers described a chaotic evacuation, as plates and glasses crashed, and they crawled along upended hallways trying to reach safety. Three bodies were recovered from the sea and news reports said that 69 people were still unaccounted for.

Anya and Irina, 12, were born within 15 minutes of each other in adjacent hospital beds and delivered to the wrong women. Yulia A. Belyayeva, who has raised Irina as her own, said they would use the settlement money to build houses next to each other, so they can look after the children together.

The case has stirred up complaints about Russia’s “birth houses,” high-volume operations where women are often treated brusquely. After Ms. Belyayeva’s first interview, on the talk show “Let Them Speak,” commentaries poured into the show’s Web site from women who said they had caught nurses mixing up babies. One said she and another woman had become lifelong friends after they were delivered each other’s babies for feeding and began yelling simultaneously.

“You may laugh, but when I was giving birth to my first daughter, I kept a black marker in my hand, and as soon as she was born, I put a mark on her hand,” wrote a woman named Yelena. Another viewer, also named Yelena, said she was not allowed to see her baby until a day afterward, and then she found him tagged with the wrong name. “I was yelling, ‘Where is my baby?’ and the answer I got was, ‘Come on, Kopelevich, Korolevich, what’s the difference?’”

Today in stupid headlines.

A small plane smashed into a Ferris wheel at a festival north of Sydney on Saturday, trapping a pair of children on the ride and two people in the aircraft, which dangled from the top of the ride for hours. The crash brought an early end to the day’s festivities, but it caused no serious injuries. (Photo: Frank Palfreyman/European Pressphoto Agency)
