 A mysterious—and extremely hairy—animal has been photographed again in the Serengeti plains, known as the Masai Mara in Kenya. Robert Berntsen, a frequent traveler to East Africa, photographed the creature, almost certainly a gazelle, in Kenya's Masai Mara Reserve. 

 This post describes a new technique for sampling the 'blow' (or exhaled breath) of large whales.  Researchers were able to successfully sample several species by using a radio-controlled helicopter with a sampling device.  The helicopter was poised approximately 15 meters behind the whale, and once the whale exhaled it was flown directly through it.
