Turtle Crossing
Bob and Marg were two medium-sized Red-eared turtles. The terrarium they used to live in, was pushed off the table by the two boys, during an impromptu hockey game at the Mackenzie house, one night when the parents were out partying and the baby-sitter was making out with her boyfriend in the Rec-Room in the basement. They somehow made it out of the house and were now living in the wooden foundation of the mailbox located on the front lawn near the curb of 85 Minto Place in suburban Providence, Rhode Island. One day they decided, as only turtles can, that they should make a FAST (and I use that term somewhat loosely) break for the yard across the street. This is the story of their adventure.

Aquarium Belugas Have Playful Mouth-to-Mouth Interactions
Within the animal kingdom, physical contact makes up a vital modality of social interaction. For mammals, a diverse array of social contact types exists, including affiliative contact (e.g., nuzzling, rubbing, holding), maternal-infant contact, sociosexual contact, social grooming, and aggressive contact (e.g., biting, scratching, wrestling). These behaviors present distinct forms and functions. Mother-infant contact, for instance, encompasses maternal behaviors that foster social bonds and development during the initial year of an infant's life. Remarkably, many animal species rely upon social contact as an essential aspect of their existence. It facilitates the consolidation of bonds within their social groups and mediates conflicts. Juvenile bottlenose dolphins exemplify this, as they engage in sociosexual contact, often leading to enduring bonds.
