There were 3 babies and 3 adults in the orca pod trying to migrate through the Pacific Ocean. Strangely the orcas were getting sick and all of a sudden they where dyeing. The disease is called cantacouditice. It was happening all through the pacific coast and the orcas washed up on shore dead. No one knew when it started but, people predicted that it was happening for about 6 months.

Something was in side of the water called cantacouditice, which the

B y A v e r y R o g e r s Last week John Roy, a local in Iqaluit, was dog sledding in Rainbow Park. He couldn‟t get his dog sled past this white, long tree trunk. He‟s never seen that type of tree before. When he had to dig himself over the tree he looked at what he had uncovered and figured it‟s a dinosaur bone. Now the entire paleontology group from University of Iqaluit is searching for more

Rainbow Park has been closed to the public until further notice so the paleontologist team can search and research the park for more evidence of dinosaurs. Dr. Hensley, from University of Iqaluit, says, “I think there should be a large number of dinosaur bones to be discovered. This is where the dinosaurs lived and where the ice age may have

People don‟t want them to shut down the park because that‟s where they go for runs and walks. They hope it won‟t be long before the park reopens.

While they look for all of the bones there saying they might want to make Rainbow Park a historical dinosaur park.

The protests were happening on Monday evening. “It was getting very dangerous,” said Ali, “I could not stay in the museum for much longer. I was hungry and tired.”

Ali had worked at the Cairo museum previously to the protesting “it was easy to get in the museum. I had not given back the key in the hectic protesting.” Ali tells the reporter, „‟I am happy the police found me.”

In 2009 a cave was discovered in western Jamaica. Scientists entered this cave to observe the rock the cave was made out of but they found a little surprise. A new species of parrot! This bird has not been identified yet.

“We were packing up and getting ready to go home when I drop a rock and hit the floor.

It made a loud sound but we all just laughed They are starting to breed these birds in captivity and they will soon have an official name for them. Zoos expect to be getting some of these birds in under a year if all goes well. Pet stores might be

but as soon as we got to the exit out of the cave I stopped and then a bird came and just missed my head then thousands of these birds came out!” exclaimed Dr. Snitzerdoodler. This town that the bird was found in is called Elvaclo and the locals in this area call the bird the waka wuna. So far, we know the bird is a parrot and its main colors are yellow, purple and orreceiving these birds in 2 -4 years and these birds will be expensive.

R u b b e r Snap! The only bone in Ruby‟s body broke! Ruby “Rubber” Rowman ran to the rubber Olympics which was held in Calgary for only one year in the Rubber Dome. When Ruby got there she had to go on right away without stretching first. She stated with her hardest move right when she did it all the way her bone snapped and so did something else in her mentally. Suddenly, she threw weights at the spectators and when the spectators threw them back they just bounced off her rubber body.

Amazed on how Ruby started her routine they heard a huge snap! “It was like if she had all her bones in her body hey would have snapped all at once.” confirmed Maria, a spectator.

Her sister told reporters after the incident that she was angry all the time and dangerous to be around.

Eventually everyone in Calgary knew that Ruby “Rubber” Rowman is uncontainable at all. “It was like a lion within her came roaring out! I‟ve never seen her like that; she is actually really nice or she was!” claimed her coach.

Sadly Ruby “Rubber “Rowman will now be put in a rubber facility for rubber can only contain her.
