Travellers are usually wary of animals abroad. A run in with a foreign animal could lead to you claiming on your travel insurance policy for medical treatment after bites or contracted diseases. However Richard Jefferson Jersey , here are two uplifting stories where animals have saved the day.
When you?re on holiday it?s difficult to keep an eye on children the whole time. Accidents are bound to happen occasionally, so it makes sense to be prepared with some travel insurance. One lucky family, on a trip to Brookfield Zoo in Chicago, found that when their child was in danger a maternally inclined gorilla was there for protection.
Gorilla on Guard
The incident began when a three year old boy fell from a great height to the floor of the Rain Forest enclosure at the zoo. The child was knocked unconscious and was vulnerable to attack from the gorillas that were housed there. A gorilla called Binti Jua Michael Porter Jersey , still carrying her infant daughter, rushed over to stand over the boy as the other gorillas began to gather round.
The zoo keeping staff reached the enclosure and opened a side gate to tempt the gorillas out with food, but they did not move. The gorillas were curious about the boy and were staring intently at Binti Jua who was protecting him. The keepers took out hoses and blasted water at the gorillas until they reluctantly moved through the door. To the keepers alarm, Binti began to walk towards the door too Malik Beasley Jersey , while cradling the child. Then, before she walked out, she laid him gently on the ground.
The boy suffered only a few bruises and a cracked wrist, so instead of claiming on their travel insurance for substantial hospital bills Kenneth Faried Jersey , his family were able to tell a story of an amazing rescue. But this rescue story is not as amazing as the one told by a diver called Yang Yun in July 2009.
Saved by the Whale
Yang Yun had entered a free diving competition at Polar Land in Harbin, China, where the winner would land a job working with the whales. As part of the competition, contestants were asked to dive into the arctic tank and hold their breath at the bottom for as long as they could. Yang Yun had a wetsuit Jameer Nelson Jersey , but no breathing apparatus and the arctic temperatures gave her cramp. She quickly found herself stuck at the bottom of the pool struggling for breath.
Remarkably, the beluga whale, with whom Yan Yun was sharing the tank, knew how to help. After years of training and working with humans Jamal Murray Jersey , it seems Mila, the milk white, smiley, one tonne beluga had learnt how we swim and breathe and recognised that the free diver was in distress. The whale grabbed Yan Yun by the leg with its mouth and pushed her up to the surface.
Had Yang Yun known about her pre disposition for cramp Dikembe Mutombo Jersey , she may have not attempted such a stunt. Similarly, it?s important to declare any known pre existing medical conditions to your travel insurance providers to ensure you are covered for related illnesses or injury. After all, we won?t all be lucky enough to have Mila or one of her friends rush to our aid. It is also worth checking your travel insurance includes cover for water sports activities such as scuba diving, or even free diving if you are that adventurous!
INCHEON Devin Harris Jersey , South Korea, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- China edged out favorites South Korea in the shoot-off to reach the men's recurve team final at the Asian Games here on Friday.

But Lee Seung-yun, Oh Jin-hyek and Ku Bon-chan narrowly lost to China's Gu Xue-song, Qi Kaiyao and Yong Zhiwei in the shoot-off after they were tied again by shooting two 9s and one 10.

China will face Malaysia in the final on Sunday. South Korea will take on Japan in the bronze medal match.

JOHANNESBURG, June 20 (Xinhua) -- The global forced displacement rose sharply in 2015 reaching the highest level ever, the the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said in a report released in Pretoria on Monday.
UNHCR recorded an average of 24 people displaced every minute today. Back in 2005, the number was six each minute.
Conflict and persecution are the main causes of the upsurge trend, according to the annual Global Trends report which tracks forced displacement worldwide based on data from governments, partners and the organization's own reporting.
The report said 65.3 million people were displaced as of the end of 2015, compared to 59.5 million just twelve months earlier. This is the first time that the threshold of 60 million has been crossed.
The total of 65.3 million comprises 3.2 million people in industrialized countries who as of end 2015 were awaiting decisions on asylum; 21.3 million refugees worldwide representing the highest level since the early 1990s; 40.8 million people who had been forced to flee their homes but were within the confines of their own countries, an increase of 2.6 million from 2014 and the highest number on record.
Measured against the world's 7.349 billion population, these numbers mean that one in every 113 people globally is now either an asylum-seeker, an internally displaced person or a refugee, a level of risk without precedent, the report noted.
The report listed following reasons for the increase-situations that cause large refugee outflows are lasting longer; dramatic new or reignited situations are occurring frequently and the rate at which solutions are being found for refugees and internally displaced persons has been on a falling trend since the end of the Cold War.
