Two adorable dingo puppies have made their debut at an Australian zoo. The 16-week-old siblings, a brother and sister named Bluey and Bandit, have been thriving under the care of the zookeepers at the Australian Reptile Park. Since their arrival, Bluey and Bandit have won over the hearts of staff and visitors. Over the last few weeks, they've met many guests and adjusted well to life at the sanctuary. Now trained to walk on a harness, visitors can spot the puppies strolling through the park during the day. The puppies are not just an adorable attraction but also serve an important role in educating the public about the significance of dingoes in Australia's ecosystem. As apex predators, dingoes help maintain ecological balance, and promoting awareness of their conservation is a key mission of the park.

Bodies of missing Spanish boys found two weeks after flash floods
The bodies of two young brothers who went missing in floods that struck Spain's eastern Valencia region two weeks ago have been found, the Civil Guard confirmed on Wednesday. Ruben and Izan Matias Calatayud, aged 3 and 5, were found in separate locations near Catarroja, almost 10 km (6 miles) downstream from their home in Torrent, a suburb of Valencia city, where they went missing when the floods hit on Oct. 29, a Civil Guard spokesperson said. Their aunt Barbara Sastre told Spain's state TVE last week that the boys' mother was working in Valencia and their father was with them at the family home when the flood hit at 6:30 p.m.
