Happy Fathers' Day!

In an African reservation for orphaned elephants, the young (<21 yrs old) males grew aggressive, even killing rhinoceros at the waterhole.
Until two much older, senior, still strong, male elephants have been brought there, on purpose.
Aggressivity stopped. Do you wonder why?

In Louisiana, if I remember correctly a radio program, 85% of the prison population grew up without the [biological] father, and most of them without any father whatsoever.

Walia ibex (Capra walie): WWF maximum cards from Ethiopia

Only in Ethiopia! [this kind of ibex goat; there are other ibex species in other places]
"This species is only found in the northern mountains of Ethiopia. Only 150–200 animals were surviving in 1963, but now the population has increased to 500 individuals. They have been hunted extensively for meat and horns. The horns are used as mugs and as trophies. Habitat loss is another major threat against the species. Encroaching settlement, livestock grazing, and cultivation are all problems. Road construction is also fragmenting the habitat. Luckily, the Semien National Park which was established in 1969 has helped the species. However, they are still in trouble and need some more conservation measures to help protect them."
