LHASA -- Two injured snow leopard cubs are recovering after being rescued in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region.The felines, which are on China's top protection list, will be released when they can survive in the wild, according to their caretaker, Tangzhub Cering, with the forestry bureau of Biru County.On Oct. 22, a herder in Biru found the injured animals when his sheep and cattle were grazing. He brought the pair to the bureau.The veteran wild animal rescuer cleaned the wounds of the cubs, which were three months old at the time, and fed them fresh beef and skim milk."In the first two days, they neither drank nor ate. I was very worried," he said.Now the cubs also eat eggs and fodder, and their feeding costs have been covered by the local government.The pair was named Princess Snow Mountain and Prince Snow Mountain.China is home to between 2,000 and 2,500 snow leopards, which are scattered in Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan and Inner Mongolia. Both the number of snow leopards and their habitat area in China account for more than half of the global total. glow in the dark wristbands ukbracelet maker onlinepersonalized silicone braceletsprinted wristbandsbatman wristband1 inch wide rubber bandsdebossed wristbandblack rubber wristbands24 hour bracelets
BEIJING -- China's first cargo spacecraft, Tianzhou 1, completed an automated fast-docking with Tiangong II space lab at 11:58 pm Tuesday. Controlled from Earth, Tianzhou 1 began to approach Tiangong II at 5:24 pm Tuesday and it took six and a half hours to complete the fast-docking with the space lab. It was the third docking between the two spacecraft using fast-docking technology. Previously, it took about two days to dock. The experiment tested the cargo spacecraft's capability of fast-docking, laying a foundation for future space station building. Tianzhou 1 was launched on April 20 from South China's Hainan province, and it completed the first and second docking with the orbiting Tiangong II space lab on April 22 and June 19, respectively. The cargo spacecraft will conduct the third refueling of the space lab before returning to Earth. The two spacecraft completed their first in-orbit refueling on April 27 and their second in-orbit refueling on June 15. China is the third country, after Russia and the United States, to master refueling techniques in space, which is crucial in the building of a permanent space station. Tiangong II, which was sent into space on Sept 15, 2016, is China's first space lab "in the strict sense" and a key step in building a permanent space station. Cargo ships play a crucial role maintaining a space station and carrying supplies and fuel into orbit.
