Interspecies Intermingling of the Day: Samantha, a 47-year-old western lowland gorilla at the Erie Zoo, has been all alone since her companion Rudy passed away in 2005. Zookeepers decided to try and alleviate her loneliness by giving her a pet: Panda the Dutch rabbit.
Initially cautious, the keepers introduced them in increments before leaving Panda alone with Samantha (keeping an escape hatch open just in case). But their concern quickly abated as the two took to each other right away.
Samantha’s handlers say they aren’t worried as she’s never expressed anything but fondness toward Panda. Still, they say the bunny is more than capable of holding his own.
“He’s fearless,” says the zoo’s chief executive, Scott Mitchell. “He’s not threatened by her. More often they’re closer together than they are farther apart.”

For One of the Busiest Travel Days of the Year - America’s Air Traffic, Modeled
Using an award-winning software package called FACET, NASA scientists recreated U.S. air traffic over several days and times. Lots of cool patterns here, including severe weather effects, watching Americans wake up across the country, and even 9/11.

You know, this “dinner and a DJ” coupon might be the best one yet.

Damn Nature U Scary of the Day: Extreme storm chaser Reed Timmer captured this rather ridiculous shot of a tornado touching down east of Tipton, Oklahoma.
No injuries were reported, but several structures, including an Oklahoma State University extension field office, were destroyed.
Tornado watches and warnings were issued for 17 counties across the state, and they will remain in effect until 9 PM tonight.
