Fans of Amur, a Siberian tiger, and Timur, a feisty goat that's
not seen as prey by the predator, can finally keep close tabs on the
animal buddies 24/7 – thanks to a reality show launched at the Far
Eastern Safari Park.

The unique 'friendship'
between Amur and Timur first created a buzz late last month, raising
many eyebrows after the lionhearted goat refused to become the
predator's lunch, and even dared to steal the feline’s bed. The goat
showed no fear and the tiger seems to respect that.

The Yule goat is a Scandinavian and Northern European Yule and Christmas symbol and tradition. Its origin may be Germanic pagan, and has existed in many variants during Scandinavian history.
Modern representations of the Yule goat are typically made of straw.^[1] The custom of wassailing is sometimes called "going Yule goat" in Scandinavia.

The Gävle Goat (Gävlebocken) is a traditional Christmas display erected annually at Slottstorget ("Castle Square") in central Gävle. It is a giant version of a traditional Swedish Yule Goat figure made of straw, and is erected each year at the beginning of Advent over a period of two days^[1][2] by local community groups.

It is notable for being a recurring target for vandalism by arson, and has been destroyed several times since the first goat was erected in 1966.

Hear from Matthieu Ricard

Hear from Matthieu Ricard, known by many as the "happiest man on earth" about Altruism, his new masterwork presenting a global vision based on decades of personal experience and insight, a roadmap for the 21st century. Ricard demonstrates how altruism is not an abstract ideal, but an essential dimension of our nature that everyone can cultivate. He explains how it is the vital thread that can answer the main challenges of our time: economic inequality, life satisfaction, and environmental sustainability. 

The conversation will be moderated by Jeffrey Walker, United Nation Secretary General's Envoy for Health Finance and Malaria
