CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: We Are Going to Africa

Both ABC and CBS closed with animal stories. Both chose South Africa. Pictures of big cats are always dynamic so CBS' Lara Logan gets good grades for choosing the "drastic" rule-breaking animal conservation tactics of removing South China tigers from a zoo to train them to hunt in the wild on an entirely different continent. From the Laohu Valley Reserve, Logan showed how the Asian predators now have a taste for African springbok.

Good grades, but second place to the baboons of the Cape of Good Hope. ABC's Mike Lee showed us how the sprawling suburbs of Cape Town have encroached on their woodland habitat--and in the process humans now provide an abundant food source. See monkey climb garden fence, see monkey sift through trash, see monkey open door, see monkey ransack kitchen counter top, see monkey raid refrigerator, see monkey go upstairs.
