We began with the story of true triumph and resilience.
Back in 2012 Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan was shot in the head by the Taliban when she was 15 years old.
At the time she was speaking out and fighting for the right for girls to have an education.
Miraculously she survived, continued her fight for girl empowerment and made history as the youngest Nobel Prize laureate.
Now at 22 years old, she can add college graduate to her life story.
She posted to Twitter to announce she completed her degree in philosophy, politics and economics from Oxford University in the UK.
She says she doesn’t know what’s coming up next for her but “for now it will be Netflix, reading and sleep.”
Apparently this was a week for several interesting animal rescues.
Two Nassau County, New York police officers who were patrolling a parking lot noticed a red tailed hawk that somehow got entangled in the front bumper of a truck.
The driver of the truck didn’t even know it was there.
Officers were able to free the hawk and then called wildlife volunteered to take over.
The red tailed hawk is recovering at the wild animal rescue hospital until he can fly again.
This young bear is recovering from burns sustained during a wildfire.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife says the one-year-old male has sore feet.
But as you can see he’s walking again.
His caregivers say they’ll monitor him at this rehabilitation center for a few weeks.
Then he should be healed up and ready for release.
Now watch this video as rescuers free at 250 pound turtle from a tangled mess.
The loggerhead turtle was caught in a crab trap line off New Jersey’s coast.
Coast Guard and Marine Mammal officials responded in did what they do best.
They worked together to reel in the trapped turtle and safely free it from the tangled line.
They said large turtle rescues can sometimes be tricky.
But luckily this rescue appeared to go smoothly.
And finally a turtle “rescue” of a different kind.
Remember back in January we told you about being “Diego”, the 100-year-old playboy turtle who had so much sex with the ladies that he single-handedly saved his species from extinction.
Well after 10 years of service with the breeding program and nearly 800 offspring, Diego is finally retiring.
He is now living on an uninhabited island off the coast of Ecuador.
Ecuador’s environment minister posted on Twitter “their island receives Diego with open arms.”
