Chinese news
I spotted these two articles in the China Daily recently, which made me smile.

A cow mysteriously delivered an "egg" recently in Qinhuangdao of Heibei Province.
The 1-year-old cow was found to have delivered what seemed to be a black egg early one morning last week. The strange "egg" has the same shape of a real egg but a bit larger.
The owner said that the cow ate much more since it delivered the "egg."
Animal experts have been curious over the "egg" and have begun researching it.
2. Cat army annihilates destructive rats

A group of villagers recently prepared a sumptuous fish banquet for more than 200 cats to thank them for eradicating rats from their farmland.
Yangmei villagers in Sanjiang Township of Xinhui District in the city of Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, are expecting a good harvest this year thanks to the hard-working cats.
The village committee spent more than 12,000 yuan (US$1,500) to buy more than 200 cats, which they released onto farmland to help wipe out the rat problem.
Sanjiang Village has 86.67 hectares of rice fields and 13.33 hectares of other crops and suffered from a rat infestation after most of the snakes were caught and slaughtered by local villagers in previous years.
