I took a job as a receptionist for a vet almost five decades ago. As a keen animal lover, I accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn't have to assist with any wounded animals. I couldn't bear to see any creature in pain.

At the end of my first week, we were closing the office for the day when a young man ran up to us holding a severely injured Doberman puppy in his arms and begging us to save his life. The four-month-old pup had been hit by a car.

The doctor and I ran back into the operating room. The only place the skin was still attached to this poor little animal's body was around one shoulder. The vet worked tirelessly for what seemed like hours，stitching him back together again. That was the easy part. The puppy had broken multiple bones, including his spine(脊椎). If he survived the next few days, we were quite sure he would never walk again.

That day forever changed my life. The vet mentored me, and I became his assistant in all things medical. One of my first jobs was to give that Doberman puppy daily physical therapy. Ire member moving his tiny legs to try to keep his muscles from withering.

Weeks went by until one day, I felt this little fighter push back ever so slightly. And he continued to push back till he could finally use his legs.

Fast-forward about a year, I walked into the clinic's crowded waiting room and called the name of the next client. Suddenly, a huge Doberman who had been standing quietly with his owner on the opposite side of the room broke loose and rushed toward me. I found myself pinned against the wall with this magnificent dog standing on his hind legs，his front paws on my shoulders, washing my face with abundant and joyful kisses!

I am still amazed at the display of love and gratitude the dog had for me that day all those years ago. I went on to be a vet tech for 14 years, and since retirement, I've volunteered at a no-kill animal shelter.

What do you do when you need to look something up? Go to the library? Open an encyclopaedia? Click onto the intemet? These days, most people go straight to Wikipedia, the online encyclopaedia. But how reliable is it?

There's no denying the popularity and usefulness of Wikipedia. It attracts a massive 78million visitors every month, and the site is available in more than 270 different languages. It's one of the most comprehensive resources available, and it's got much more information than an ordinary encyclopaedia. The site is updated on a daily basis by thousands of people around the world. Anyone with an internet connection can log on and edit the contents or add a new page. And you don't need any formal training.

Of course, there are some controls. Wikipedia has a team of more than 1, 500 administrators who check for false information. But with more than 16 million articles to keep an eye on, it isn't easy. So, while Wikipedia benefits from being constantly updated with information from all over the world, it's also open to "destroyers".

Some of the damage is easy to notice. One prankster(搞恶作剧者) drew devil horns and a moustache on Microsoft chairman Bill Gates' photo，while another edited Greek philosopher Plato's biography to say he was a "Hawaiian weather man who is widely believed to have been a student of 'Barney the Purple Dinosaur' and to have been deeply influenced by his dog, Cutie. "

But other things are harder to spot. The most common form of vandalism involves adding tiny items of false information into the biography of a famous person. Incredibly, some of this misinformation has appeared in newspapers, with The Daily Mail，The Guardian and The Independent all having fallen victim to the pranks. For example, it was reported that TV theme tune composer Ronnie Hazlehurst had written the S Club 7 hit "Reach". Of course, not true.

So, if you're going to use any information from Wikipedia, make sure you double-check it first.

When fisheries biologist James Drymon noticed feathers in the vomit(呕吐物) of a tiger shark, he first assumed they belonged to some unfortunate seabird: a gull, perhaps, or a pelican. But when he and his team genetically sequenced(排列) the feathers, the results surprised them: the feathers came from a land-based songbird called a brown thrasher. So what was it doing in a tiger shark's stomach in the Gulf of Mexico?

Drymon, a researcher at Mississippi State University's Coastal Research and Extension Center, and his colleagues sorted songbird from a tiger shark's stomach through the stomach contents of 105 juvenile tiger sharks between 2010 and 2018. Nearly 40 percent had recently feasted on birds that come from dry land. In all, the scientists counted 11 terrestrial bird species showing up on the sharks' menu. The results were published online in May in Ecology.

Researchers have known since the 1960s that sharks sometimes eat songbirds. "But what was interesting to us was the prevalence of the behavior, "Drymon says," This is something that happens every year in a high number of sharks. "

Every fall and spring, songbirds undertake dramatic migrations across the Gulf of Mexico. If bad weather comes along, they can be forced to land on the water-—which is effectively a death sentence. "The estimate for the number of migrants that die because of storm-related events is in the billions, "Drymon says. He suspects that sharks have long taken advantage of this twice-yearly nutritional bounty raining down from the skies, but scientists have only recently had the genetic tools to confirm this by identifying partially digested feathers.

"The results stressed how interconnected marine and terrestrial ecosystems can be," says University of Miami marine ecologist Neil Hammerschlag, who was not involved in the study, "It shows how opportunistic these sharks are."
