One pensioner from Russia's Voronezh region keeps some very unusual housepets - two domesticated storks! Alexander Kraft saved the two storks as babies after their parents were killed by hunter. At first the storks did not even eat, before Kraft started grinding worms and fed them the way their parents would. In winter, the storks live in a specially equipped room. In order to feed them, the pensioner breeds worms and beetles.
One Ladoga lake seal pup named Kroshik has developed a real fondness for humans after being rescued when he was young. In fact, he loved the time he spent with humans so much, that he returned back to his tall, fur-less friends for the second time after being released back to the wild. Kroshik was filmed at the Marine Mammal Rehabilitation Centre, an organization run by the Friends of the Baltic Seal Fund, near Saint Petersburg last weekend.
