Four Palestinians killed in occupied West Bank by settlers, Israeli troops

JUNO BEACH, Florida, EE.UU. (AP) — Una enorme tortuga boba que fue golpeada por un barco frente a la costa atlántica de Florida llegó a un hospital de tortugas para recibir atención médica, pero con sus 137 kilogramos (302 libras), Pennywise era demasiado grande para caber en su equipo.Así que el equipo veterinario del Loggerhead Marinelife Center en Juno Beach la llevó al cercano Jupiter Medical Center, con la esperanza de que pudiera hacerse una tomografía computarizada en una máquina para humanos. También era demasiado grande para eso.Rápidamente idearon otro plan: llevar a Pennywise al Palm Beach Equine Clinic en Wellington, donde se realizó la exploración en un equipo diseñado para caballos.

“Y, afortunadamente, la máquina del tamaño de un caballo era lo suficientemente grande para que esta dama pasara”, dijo Heather Barron, la directora científica y veterinaria de Loggerhead, a The Associated Press.Resulta que también recibieron una agradable sorpresa: las imágenes mostraron que Pennywise lleva huevos.

“Esperamos poder devolverla a la naturaleza lo antes posible para que pueda poner esos huevos”, dijo Barron.

Las tortugas bobas, una especie en peligro de extinción, a menudo ponen múltiples nidadas durante una temporada, comentó.This 2007 image provided by Bugwood.org shows an Amelanchier laevis Allegheny serviceberry tree. (Richard Webb/Bugwood.org via AP)

This tree has similar attributes, minus the gray bark, and grows to 15-to-20-feet tall. The Eastern North American native is often found in swampy areas, but can tolerate somewhat sunnier and drier sites than the Allegheny species. Hardy in zones 4-7.Reaches heights of 15-25 feet, and is notable for its large berries and sun tolerance, although it will also thrive in shade. Its native range spans from Eastern North America west to Quebec and Nebraska. Hardy in zones 4-9.

Among the most drought-tolerant of the bunch. Native from Montana south to Texas and west to the Pacific Coast, it reaches 6-15 feet tall and displays yellow fall foliage. Hardy in zones 5-8.Multi-stemmed, shrubby varieties can be trained to grow as trees by pruning away all but one (preferably straight) central trunk when the plants are young. All varieties tend to sucker (sending up small shoots), some more than others; leave them be to grow a shrubby screen or cut them at ground level as needed (once or twice annually) to maintain a tidier appearance.
