Biologists have just finished sequencing the first genome in doggy DNA, according to a story in Science Daily. The first dog to have his genes mapped was a poodle named Shadow, but the mapping wasn't fully completed. This new completely mapped genome comes from a boxer

In addition to human dads all over the country, the Smithsonian National Zoo's only male rhea will celebrate the joys of fatherhood tomorrow. The proud papa had four chicks hatch last month, bringing the zoo's total rhea population to seven including the father and the zoo's two female birds.
The rhea, which is in its own order within the class Aves, is a large, flightless bird that shares similar physical attributes with the ostrich, cassowary, and emu.The greater or American rhea (Rhea americana) can reach heights of around 5 feet, while the lesser or Darwin's rhea (Rhea pennata) is smaller, reaching a height of 3.5 to 4 feet on average. A native of South America, it is an omnivorous bird which prefers broad-leafed plants but will also eat seeds, fruit, insects, and small vertebrates
