‘World’s bravest duck’ plays with tiger at Australian zoo
A wild duck plays with a Sumatran tiger for fun at Symbio Wildlife Park, Australia.
The duck appears to be enjoying the pool in the tiger sanctuary far too much to be worried about Jular, the 126kg male tiger.
Just when Jular thinks he’s in for a tasty meal, the duck dips under the surface adn swims away.

Ex-Drury University swimmer says hazing ended athletic career
A former swimmer at a university in southwestern Missouri says hazing that he and others endured during his freshman year left him with physical and mental injuries that ended his athletic career.
The allegations from Evan Petrich, 20, were confirmed Monday night by Drury University director of athletics Mark Fisher, who said during a news conference that the school in Springfield has toughened its hazing policy, the Springfield News-Leader reported.
Petrich said the abuse occurred during an “initiation week” in September 2015 when he and other freshmen swimmers were taken blindfolded to a home and held in a basement while being forced to drink alcohol until some vomited and others nearly blacked out.
At other times, they were hit by dodgeballs while naked, forced to watch pornographic movies and were asked to “rank” female swimmers by their looks, Petrich said.
He said he’s being treated for conversion disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder caused by the hazing.

Comeback Rio Moment – Anthony Ervin
Age is truly just a number for Anthony Ervin, one he chooses to ignore. More important is the number on the board when he touches the wall, especially when it’s “1.” In winning the 50m freestyle sprint at the Rio Olympics by .01 seconds, Ervin became the oldest swimmer to win an Olympic gold medal. It was 16 years ago he turned the same trick at the Sydney Games, the largest span between Olympic medals in history. It was a long road back after a seven-year hiatus from the sport.

Muslim parents must send children to mixed swimming lessons, European court rules
Muslims girls in Switzerland must not be exempt from mixed swimming lessons, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has said, in a potentially groundbreaking ruling.
The court in Strasbourg threw out an appeal that had been brought by a Muslim couple who said they should be allowed to let their daughters sit out swimming lessons with boys.
It was not a violation of the pupils’ human rights to make them take part in mixed swimming lessons, the court ruled, adding that schools has a “special role” in integrating young children, especially those from foreign backgrounds.
