  1. Young Maryland Zoo elephant Samson recovering from deadly virus

    A deadly virus has stricken Samson, the only elephant born at the <a href="http://findlocal.baltimoresun.com/bolton-hill-mount-royal/art/zoo/maryland-zoo-in-baltimore-zoo">Maryland Zoo in Baltimore</a> in its 137-year history, but zoologists are hopeful that he will recover because the strain is thought to be less serious in his species. Samson also has survived longer than others with the virus.

  9. Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow?

    At 7:20 a.m. Saturday <b>Punxsutawney Phil</b> will leave his burrow at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pa., for the 123rd time and prognosticate how much longer winter will last. If Phil sees his shadow and returns to his burrow it means six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't see his shadow, we can look forward to an early spring. Phil has seen his shadow 99 times, and 16 times he didn't, with 9 years of records missing since 1887. In 2012 he saw his shadow, but in 2011 he didn't. Speaking of animal predictions, the Chimpanzees at the Maryland Zoo predict <b>Ravens to win Super Bowl</b>.
