The disappearance Monday of the two emperor tamarin monkeys — named Bella and Finn — and the discovery that their enclosure had been cut were the latest in a string of unusual events at the zoo over the last few weeks, which has included other cut fences, the escape of a small leopard and the suspicious death of an endangered vulture. Dallas police said they found the monkeys — who have long whiskers that look like a mustache — late Tuesday afternoon in the closet of a home south of the zoo after getting a tip from the public. No arrests have been made. The zoo said Wednesday on Twitter that both Bella and Finn “started eating and drinking almost … [Read more...] about Back at Dallas Zoo, found monkeys get fed, snuggle up

Argentina Moto3: Pawi stuns field with crushing win on drying track
Listen to this article Despite the track being wet, a few dry patches and no rain meant the entire field kicked off the race on slicks with the exception of Livio Loi. Although he was 10th on the grid, Loi understandably rocketed through the field at the start. However, he could only settle into second as Pawi had an even better launch, and lapped several seconds quicker despite running on dry tyres. Impressively, the Malaysian rookie built a lead of 20 seconds over the course of just eight laps. As the track dried out, most of Pawi's advantage in pace disappeared, but he continued to stretch his advantage. Loi on the other hand quickly dropped down the field, eventually settling for 16th. Estrella Galicia rider Jorge Navarro and another Malaysian Adam Norrodin separated themselves from from the rest of the chasing pack at the halfway point onwards. Norrodin waited for his chance to overtake until the final lap, but lost control at the very final turn of the … [Read more...] about Argentina Moto3: Pawi stuns field with crushing win on drying track
Austin Moto3: Fenati denies Navarro maiden race victory
Listen to this article Fenati converted a second row grid slot into third at the end of the first lap, and made short work of poleman Phillip Oettl on the second tour before setting about closing on early leader Navarro. The Estrella Galicia man, who has yet to win a grand prix, had established a cushion of 1.6s after two laps, but was soon reeled in by Fenati as Oettl fell into the clutches of a fast-starting Fabio Quartararo further back. The decisive moment of the race arrived on lap 8, just shy of mid-distance, as Navarro ran wide at Turn 1 to allow Fenati into a lead he would never relinquish. By lap 13, the gap between the duo had grown to three seconds, Fenati going on to take his seventh race victory in Moto3 by 6.612s at the chequered flag. Leopard Racing's Quartararo had been on course for the final podium place before he was slowed by a late mechanical problem, meaning the fight for third was between Oettl and points leader Brad Binder (Red Bull Ajo KTM). … [Read more...] about Austin Moto3: Fenati denies Navarro maiden race victory
Mugello Moto3: Binder wins epic slipstream battle to stretch points lead
Listen to this article The 20-lap race saw the top-five finishers covered by less than a tenth of a second, as Binder prevailed over Fabio di Giannantonio by a mere 0.038s. Having seized the advantage on the run down to the first corner at the start of the final lap, the South African just gave himself the margin he needed to protect his lead as Francesco Bagnaia and Fabio Quartararo battled over second place. "Today's race was crazy - I was in first, 10th, eighth; it was so difficult to plan," said Binder. "But I tried to keep back in the group so I could arrive on the final lap at least in the top three." Both Bagnaia and Quartararo found themselves outdragged on the run to the finish by 17-year-old rookie di Giannantonio, who had scored no points prior to Mugello. Mahindra rider Bagnaia hung for third, marking his third podium visit of the year, as Niccolo Antonelli pipped Quartararo for fourth place. Completing in the top 10 were Hiroki Ono, Joan Mir, Niccolo … [Read more...] about Mugello Moto3: Binder wins epic slipstream battle to stretch points lead
