Chester Zoo sees return of rare bat-eared foxes after 30 years

A zoo has welcomed two rare bat-eared foxes, 30 years on from when the animal was last two African foxes, which are known for their 13cm (five inches) tall ears, are said to be settling in well at Chester Maasai and Malindi will live alongside 12 porcupines in the zoo's new Heart of Africa habitat and will play a part in the zoo's conservation White, Chester Zoo's team manager, said: "It's incredibly exciting to welcome bat-eared foxes back to Chester Zoo after a 30-year hiatus and they're a wonderful addition to our new Heart of Africa habitat." "They're a truly unique and fascinating species with some amazing adaptations," he said their "enormous ears aren't just for show – they act like satellite dishes and help the foxes detect the tiniest of movements coming from insects beneath the ground, allowing them to detect prey with pinpoint accuracy". Zoo conservationists brought the sisters over to Chester from a zoo in Paris, France, with one of the sisters set to be introduced to a male fox as part of efforts to safeguard the little-known foxes were given their name due to their distinctive oversized ears and they are found in the open savannahs and arid grasslands of eastern and southern Africa. In the wild, bat-eared foxes face increasing threats, largely due to habitat loss caused by agriculture, human encroachment and hunting, a zoo spokesperson said. David White said that like many species found in the African savannah, bat-eared foxes were under threat as their habitat became more fragmented as a result of human activity."That's why our teams are on the ground in several national parks across Kenya and Uganda safeguarding some of the continent's rarest species like northern giraffe, giant pangolins, mountain bongo and Eastern black rhino," he said. "By protecting these species and their habitats we're also helping many of Africa's little known species like bat-eared foxes, that share the same habitats, to go on to thrive once again."

'Darkest days' for father of missing Katrice Lee

The father of a two-year-old girl who vanished in 1981 has revealed how his vow to solve the mystery led him away from thoughts of trace has ever been found of Katrice Lee, who went missing on her birthday near a military base in Germany where her father Richard was an episode of the new BBC podcast Katrice Lee: A Father's Story, he reveals how he contemplated taking his own life, but instead promised Katrice's sister, Natasha Walker, that he would continue his fight for Walker, who lives in Hampshire, said the podcast revealed her father's "darkest days". The first episode recounts how Katrice was with her mother Sharon and aunt Wendy at a Naafi supermarket in Paderborn on 28 November 1981, the girl's second ran off down an aisle and was never seen again. Authorities in Germany were initially suspicious of her parents and also speculated that Katrice had wandered unchallenged to the River Lippe and Mr Lee, from Hartlepool, said the case should have been treated as a possible told the programme: "It was a nightmare that I didn't think would still be a nightmare 42 years later. I've never left day one in reality."In 2012, Royal Military Police apologised for mistakes in their initial years later, the force revealed that a man had been seen putting a child into a green car in the same area on the same day of Katrice's information, which the force had received in 1981, led to a five-week excavation by soldiers of a site in Germany but no trace of the girl was found. The podcast reveals Mr Lee's emotions, in interviews recorded at different points over the last 44 said: "I went down some very dark routes and very dark avenues. And at my lowest point, I actually thought about suicide. "My choice was to continue the fight. I made a promise and that's what brought me out of the darkness."I made a promise to Natasha that I would continue the fight to get answers until I can no longer fight."Ms Walker said: "It can be at times very difficult to listen to your parents breaking their hearts on this podcast. "But then when you have an opportunity to raise awareness again that your sister is still missing, obviously you're going to do everything that you can."In a statement, the Ministry of Defence said: "Our thoughts and sympathies remain with Katrice Lee's family and if anyone has any new information relating to the disappearance of Katrice they can contact us."

Jack Draper's ready to fire more forehand bullets as he channels Rafael Nadal at the French Open - but his next opponent is riding high after a Las Vegas bender

As the new plaque of his footprint on Court Philippe Chatrier demonstrates, Rafael Nadal 's legacy at Roland Garros is eternal. His inspiration can be traced through the next generation - including our very own Jack Draper and his brutal forehand. The similarities in the two men's strokes are impossible to miss. The coiling of musclebound shoulders. The whiplash swing of a left arm, sending the ball fizzing through the air to land, grip on the clay then spit towards the opponent at head height. Draper has until now been hesitant to embrace the comparison. 'It's hard for me to look at my own forehand,' said the 23-year-old, who faces Alexander Bublik today in his first visit to the fourth round of the French Open. 'I can appreciate it's getting better and better but I still watch Rafa and… his forehand's a joke. But I definitely understand the comparison of how it's kicking up and the spin and the speed of it.' Like Nadal, Draper uses the height and spin of his forehand to push opponents back, leaving them vulnerable to the drop shot - a one-two punch which was incredibly effective in his third-round victory over Joao Fonseca. Draper's forehand lacks the curl of Nadal's, meaning it is harder for him to replicate the classic Rafa pattern of swinging the ball away from the right-hander's backhand. That lack of swing is not all downside, though - as Nadal's forehand angled away from the backhand side, it angled into the forehand side, making it easier for opponents to cover that space. Draper can fire a more direct arrow down the line. As a fellow right-hander who plays leftie, Nadal was a touchstone for young Draper. When I visited his first tennis club in Sutton last year, members told stories of young Jack playing in sleeveless tops to look more like Rafa. 'I modelled myself on his game but more so his competitive nature, his doggedness,' said Draper. 'I loved Rafa - the grunt, everything. He massively inspired me to become the player I am and hopefully I can get to his level.' If Draper has internalised Nadal's Stakhanovite work ethic, the same cannot be said of his next opponent, who puts his recent uptick in form down to a three-day bender in Las Vegas. Bublik is one of the great talkers in the game, so let's allow him the floor to explain how he went from a career high to a career low, then recovered. 'After Wimbledon 2024, I got to No 17 in the world,' he began. 'Then I'm like, "OK, I have to practise harder". Work on my diet, stop drinking, stop partying. 'Be a more professional soldier. Right now everybody is like robots, crazy, crazy performance guys. My fall was not linked with lack of attitude and lack of practising. It was the exact opposite. I just burned out. 'Then it was the other way around. I was No 80 in the world. My coach suggested a trip to Vegas in between Indian Wells and Phoenix. 'I said, OK, let's go to Vegas, and it worked.' To clarify, was this a training trip to Vegas? 'No, Vegas Vegas, like The Hangover Vegas,' said Bublik, referencing the 2009 stag-party-gone-wrong comedy film. The 27-year-old went straight from Nevada to Phoenix, Arizona, for a lower-tier Challenger event. He made the final, and then won his next Challenger in Turin. 'I came there to win,' said Bublik. 'I have to take matches more seriously, and I did. It's as simple as that. There was a shift in the mentality because I had no options whatsoever.' On his last-16 opponent, Bublik said: 'Jack, for me, is insane. I saw him here and I said, "Are you getting ready for UFC?" 'Last year the guy is No 40 in the world. This year he is top five. That's a crazy achievement. He doesn't seem to stop. 'What do I have to do to beat him? I don't know. I will just go there, enjoy the time - we all know what I'm capable of doing on court.' The Kazakhstani is capable of almost anything. If his array of tweeners, underarm serves and general zaniness gives the impression of a man messing around, Bublik insists he is just maximising his chances of victory against the 'robots'. 'I'm not a fighting person,' said Bublik. 'To win against the best of the best, I have to find ways to outplay them because they will outwork me, outrun me. 'Against Jack, I'm not capable physically of running for five hours. I would die, literally. I'm worrying about my health over tennis. So I find a way to beat these guys with what I have - and I have a lot, in terms of an arsenal of shots. Sometimes I have to go for what seem like crazy shots, but this is the only option I have.' If Draper needs reminding of how dangerous the world No 62 can be, he could ask Alex de Minaur. The No 9 seed took a two-set lead over Bublik in the second round before being blown away in 90 minutes of lights-out shotmaking. Draper has tuned up nicely for this test, riding out similar purple patches from Mattia Bellucci and Gael Monfils in the first and second rounds. 'I don't need to play my best to win matches because my base level is high,' said Draper. 'If I play point by point at that level, it's tough for guys to beat me. 'Especially if they're up and down, like Monfils or Bublik. They're gonna play some great tennis and they could beat me for sure, but I know it's going to be very tough (for them) because I'm always going to be at that level.' Sentiments of which Rafa would be proud.
