    About 3 weeks ago, I had the honor of a lifetime to meet Nathan Adrian at a swim meet completely out of the blue. It just so happened that I had been there to visit a friend and he was attending the meet as a spectator. After taking a picture with him, I came back a bit later and respectfully inquired as to whether or not he would be interested in an interview! I was happy to hear him say yes and within a week we had it set up!

  • Elephant Washed Away With Water Currents Rescued by Wild Life Officers | Elephant Zone

    Sometimes the elephant may have tried to cross the reservoir. Although elephants are good swimmers and regularly cross the rivers without any problem, the water currents may have been the stumbling block due to heavy rain over the last week. The elephant got swept with water currents. He doesn’t know that where he was carried. The elephant was sweeping towards the deep end of the reservoir. If it was drifted with water currents his life would have ended by drowning in the reservoir. The wildlife officers foresee the risk and are determined to help the elephant. The staff got together into two teams. One team was preparing a strong rope loop to pull the elephant ashore. But pulling an elephant of nearly 5000kg of weight against the violent currents is not that easy task.
