CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: Russian Horses & Madagascan Lemurs

ABC and CBS both closed their newscasts with animal features. CBS' Don Teague managed heartwarming and eccentric at the same time. The Artania Circus, a Russian equestrian entertainment, was abandoned by its promoter midway through its north American tour. While waiting for their visa issues and money lawsuits to be resolved, the circus is staying at an equestrian center in Rockwall Texas. An advantage is a karaoke bar just down the road, if you fancy a duet with a homesick horse acrobat.

On ABC, Dan Harris has a side specialty of African jungle safaris. Here is the bonopo ape of the Congo. Here is a gorilla colony protected by the pygmies of the Central African Republic. Now spot the silky safaka and other exotic lemurs in the rosewood forests of northern Madagascar.
