:02:40. > :02:44.You might recognise this guy, Ore, who used to be

:02:45. > :02:49.It's fair to say he's probably going to be our favourite.

:02:50. > :02:52.To a mission to save one of our most endangered mammals.

:02:53. > :02:55.This month 100 water voles that have been raised in captivity

:02:59. > :03:03.And we've got some top facts for you about the special

:03:04. > :03:07.Meet one of Britain's most endangered mammal,

:03:08. > :03:13.They might be shy and secretive, but they're the largest type of vole

:03:14. > :03:16.in Britain and can often be mistaken for a rat.

:03:17. > :03:20.Despite their name, they don't always live near water.

:03:21. > :03:24.Inside, they make burrows underground, like moles.

:03:25. > :03:32.Their homes can have many levels that help prevent flooding

:03:33. > :03:34.as well as containing rooms for nesting, a food store

:03:35. > :03:37.and sometimes even a little platform of twigs and grass

:03:38. > :03:39.where they can sunbathe aboveground.

:03:40. > :03:42.But that doesn't mean they're not brilliant

:03:43. > :03:49.Did you know water voles are very strong swimmers?

:03:50. > :03:54.They can reach up to 500m on the surface or 15 under water.

:03:55. > :04:01.Back in the 1960s, there were lots of them in Yorkshire

:04:02. > :04:04.But they were wiped out by mink, brought over

:04:05. > :04:13.Conservationists hope by re-introducing them

:04:14. > :04:18.into the wild, they'll be back in the countryside for good.

:04:19. > :04:21.It's that time of the week for us to take a look at the

:04:22. > :04:22.strangest stories we've managed to come across.

:04:23. > :04:40.First up, meet one of our oldest species, the huge Greenland shark

:04:41. > :04:43.who can live for up to 400 years. Unsurprisingly, that makes the

:04:44. > :04:48.planet 's longest living vertebrates. That's the animals that

:04:49. > :04:51.have backbones. With such long lives, the sharks can afford to take

:04:52. > :04:55.things slow. They are one of the slowest swimmers in the sharp family

:04:56. > :05:02.and they grow up to one centimetre per year. Now there may be times

:05:03. > :05:08.when you might not like the weather in UK, but be thankful you don't

:05:09. > :05:13.step outside and see this. It's what happens when winds mixed with smoke

:05:14. > :05:18.and flames. This one in the US state of Oregon was probably caused by the

:05:19. > :05:26.farming equipment. No one was hurt and firefighters put out the blaze

:05:27. > :05:31.after an hour. Last up, zookeepers in state that a happy surprise when

:05:32. > :05:35.they discovered that the panda had had twins. They knew she had one

:05:36. > :05:39.baby but they didn't realise there was a second one for more than a

:05:40. > :05:42.week. It's because Yang Yang has been keeping her babies between the

:05:43. > :05:45.big paused to keep them warm. They could only see one at a time. And

:05:46. > :05:57.That's it for now, I'll be back at 1.45pm.
