Bubba the lobster dies after being moved to zoo
He dodged lobster pots for decades, endured a trip from the coast of Massachusetts to Pittsburgh and survived about a week in a fish market. But a trip to the zoo proved to be too much for a 22-pound lobster named Bubba.
The leviathan of a lobster died Wednesday afternoon at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium about a day after he was moved from Wholey's Market, said zoo spokeswoman Rachel Capp and Bob Wholey, owner of the fish market.

In zehn Jahren könnte es zu spät sein
In bereits zehn Jahren könnte sich die Welt in einem unaufhaltsamen Klima-Wandel befinden. Davor warnt eine internationale Studie britischer, amerikanischer und australischer Wissenschaftler. Die G8-Staaten werden darin aufgefordert, rasch auf erneuerbare Energien umzusteigen und den CO2-Ausstoß deutlich zu verringern. Andernfalls drohe eine weitere Erwärmung der Erde, die dann nicht mehr aufhaltbar sei und fatale Folgen habe.

Mount St. Helens' 10,000-Foot Burp
Mount St. Helens, the volcano that blew its top with cataclysmic force in 1980, erupted for the first time in 18 years Friday, belching a huge column of white steam and ash after days of rumblings under the mountain.

"I had four pounds (2kg) of chocolate from a ski trip. He ate it all -- it's war," Tom Isaac said, recounting with a sense of humor how the 500-pound (230-kg) bear made himself at home at his house on Sept. 20.
