Three rare turtles stolen from Danish zoo
(UPI) A zoo in Denmark is pleading for the return of three rare turtles that officials said were stolen from the facility during operating hours. The Randers Tropical Zoo said the three Burmese star turtles were taken from their indoor exhibit at some point during public visitation hours Sunday.
Zoo officials said the fences in the exhibit are too high for the turtles to have escaped on their own.
The zoo said it will not press charges against the thieves if they voluntarily return the animals unharmed.
Officials said they had planned to attempt to breed the rare turtles, which have not been successfully bred in captivity for five years.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - November 10
Sesame Street debuts 1969
On this day in 1969, “Sesame Street,” a pioneering TV show that would teach generations of young children the alphabet and how to count, makes its broadcast debut. “Sesame Street,” with its memorable theme song (“Can you tell me how to get/How to get to Sesame Street”), went on to become the most widely viewed children’s program in the world. It has aired in more than 120 countries.
The show was the brainchild of Joan Ganz Cooney, a former documentary producer for public television. Cooney’s goal was to create programming for preschoolers that was both entertaining and educational. She also wanted to use TV as a way to help underprivileged 3- to 5- year-olds prepare for kindergarten. “Sesame Street” was set in a fictional New York neighborhood and included ethnically diverse characters and positive social messages.
Taking a cue from “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In,” a popular 1960s variety show, “Sesame Street” was built around short, often funny segments featuring puppets, animation and live actors. This format was hugely successful, although over the years some critics have blamed the show and its use of brief segments for shrinking children’s attention spans.
