Horn reform: In Cambodia, if you install a musical horn in your vehicle, you will be in trouble. The prime minister has ordered police across the country to enforce an order that car owners replace musical horns with normal horns. The leader had seen videos on social media of inappropriate activity associated with the musical horns, such as people, especially children and youth, dancing on the roads and roadsides as passing vehicles play tunes, creating a serious safety hazard. He has mandated that any musical horn should be ripped out and replaced with the standard honking kind. While this new law may take away some music from the streets, it aims to significantly improve road safety.

Camelids year: The year 2024 has been designated as the Year of the Camelids, a diverse group of animals including camels, guanacos, and vicuas, which are all part of the camel family, as well as llamas and alpacas. Recognising their vital role in sustaining the livelihoods of millions of people across 90 countries in harsh environments, the United Nations has bestowed this honour upon them. These remarkable creatures provide essential resources such as food, milk, transportation, fibres, and fertiliser. Particularly notable is the camel's ability to thrive in arid regions with minimal water requirements, which makes them invaluable for transportation across deserts and drylands.

Learn to drive: A woman from Colorado USA who had been arrested in the past for car theft and spent time in jail, attempted to steal another vehicle shortly after her release. However, police weren't the ones who foiled her plan. The issue arose when she realised the vehicle she'd stolen was a pickup truck with a stick shift. Lacking the skill to operate a vehicle with a manual transmission, she abandoned it, leading to the truck rolling and hitting a fire hydrant. Subsequently, she was arrested again and faced new charges of motor vehicle theft, careless driving, driving without a licence, and failing to report a crash. The stolen truck was returned to its owner.

Rare birth: In the confines of Thomas Belt Zoo in Juigalpa, Nicaragua, a mother puma welcomed three adorable cubs into the world. Two of them boasted a striking golden hue adorned with dark brown spots, while the third stood out due to its pristine white fur. This rare white cub was born with albinism, a condition believed to be shared by only a handful of pumas worldwide. Dubbed Itzae, meaning Gift from God in the Mayan language, the cub has quickly become a star attraction since her introduction to the public. Visitors flock to catch a glimpse of this extraordinary feline, marveling at her uncommon beauty and significance in the animal kingdom.
